No matter what happens in my life, Sorrow or joy, rain or shine, Whatever befalls me, it's all right Because in Jesus I abide. With His presence, He shelters me From many dangers all too real. Like a lamb, He carries me Over steep hill and stormy sea. In the midst of pain and hurt, When I feel confused and stirred, To Jesus I can always turn And find solace in His Word. He is the only voice I hear, So familiar and so dear. I know that I can trust in Him, So to Him alone I cling. Jesus keeps me from going astray; I'll always follow in His way. Forever loved, secure and safe, I stand in His amazing grace.  No matter what, I live for Him John 15:4-5 HAPPY NEW MONTH  *ALOKAN TEMILADE VICTORIA* *LIGHT LAMP*

When God created you, He knew the purpose, You don't have to be perfect  He put you here on earth To lead this life you live, Learning as you go, Giving what you can give. He knew that you would stumble And sometimes even fall. He knew that you will experience some situations  And in Jesus Christ you'd call. Mistakes and bad decisions He knew you would make To live and learn from them. Sometimes more than you can take. He's had a plan for you From the very first day. Frustrating times will be, But soon you'll see his way. Love, hope, and faith. He'll give this all to you. Patience please, my friend. How only if you knew. The love you have inside you, All the good that you do, This does not go unnoticed, And he shall see it too. He'll carry you if he needs to And hold you when you pray. He knows the pain you carry Each and every day. What's brought you to your knees  Some gave up on you. God will only keep around The ones that see it through. One day you will...

"How am I supposed to trust You When You feel so far away? How can I grow closer to You You gave me so many promises, And none of them have come true. I am still knocking on the door And asking and seeking for You. I thought it was Your desire To fill me with living water, Yet I am still stuck in the mire And thirsting for You, my Father. It has been a whole year, Lord, And I still cannot hear Your Word. I have this terrible growing fear That You will leave me here. God, my faith is so, so thin. My spirit is completely dry. I don't know how all this fits in, And I don't understand the reason why. I hate feeling separated from You And this frustration in my heart. I do not know what to do Or where to even start. Is all my seeking in vain? Am I too confused to find You? The only thing I find is pain And confusion over what I should do. "Ask and you will receive," You said. "Seek and you will find." Lord, all I want is You, my Friend, And peace within my m...

There are several moments in a man's life and everything is just a moment of Time Time to laugh, Time of pains, Time to cry, etc. For a week, I was down and I got tired of so many things. I didn't want to talk to anybody. I just wanted to be alone. I have not experienced such in a long time but I just wanted to be alone. During the time of being alone, several thoughts were flowing in my mind and I remembered those time when things were fine. I told myself "Temilade, you need to trust God and everything will be fine" It was a hard feeling trying to believe what I told myself but I kept allowing those words to sink into me by repeating it and within a short time, I came out of the mood swings. During that period, I got to realize that even in the good and bad time, we need to be positive because God is still God. In the convenient and inconvenient time, he is still God. Even Jesus, had moments when he cried unto God so, just because things aren't going well now doe...

I don't understand why there's pressure inside,  but the pain that comes from it brings a tear to my eye. I haven't talked about it but, I still feel pain inside of me. Is it a heart attack, or is my heart trying to put itself back from the years of being used, broken in pieces, quarters, and even halves When I finally have the courage to look at myself well at the mirror, I see I growth but I have aged. You're so beautiful; you look like an angel to me,  but by now I know wouldn't be receiving such compliments  Who am I to blame? But I guess,  I have a lot of work and time put in,  but for some reason all my attention were about the point  At this point I feel lost. I had inspiration to sing and write,  but now, I can't do anything  I know I must learn to forget,  practice ignorance, pretend to not exist,  I want to forget everything  Before I push the reset button for my heart,  there still a chance for a start. I miss myself...

Don't walk past Stop and listen to what is happening around, Sometimes the light we shine through, Makes its way to the surface to show someone  That within all this mess and chaos, There is still a spark to help us when we are at a loss. There is so much pain all around this earth. We must hold out a helping hand and show what it's worth, That being there in times of need, In times of fear, stress, hurt and greed. To blanket us in warmth and care, To love, guard us, Share the burden and lift the load. You see, we do have the means, this special gift, And instead of passing by, we need to stop, to help lift, The ones who find themselves in a lonely place. We must care more for one another;  How can you close your ears and eyes and turn away From someone's call for help or a hand reaching out from where they lay? We all need the understanding and must get back on track. A path where we all must walk, A path where we are never afraid to talk. It is amazing the strength that a...

Sometimes, I feel left out in everything I go to places and I feel I don't belong there I just feel I'm not needed or people pretend like they need me.... Are they just assumptions? I think I deserve better, I definitely do, I'm trying all my best to feel okay. I'm trying all my best to please them but it's not working I keep hurting myself again and again I feel left out I think after all, I don't matter and nobody cares too Yet, I Keep hurting myself and I just think the only way to be free is to run away from everyone around me who doesn't need me and just stay low. Dear sisters, You need to be strong first, Believe and love yourself Don't live your life like a nobody or like someone who has to please everyone When you came to the world, you came alone and wasn't escorted so, live your life in accordance to God purpose and not according to pleasing people. *Light Lamp* *Alokan Temilade Victoria*

"Why do I find it this hard? I struggle so much yet, I can't do anything to help it I have tried so many times but, It just don't work, I'm tired, what can I do?" So many times I hear people say "We are so busy, And have no time to pray." Yet they can sit, In front of the screen, Texting or playing, You know what I mean. Why is it so hard To set aside time, To find solitude And pray... Why do we struggle With boredom each day? Yet, not bother taking Ten minutes to pray? So many hours Are wasted each week, When we could be praying For the answers we seek. Dear Sisters, Let's make a plan At the start of each day, To make time for God And in that time -Pray You don't have to start in a way you can't end Just make sure you are aligned. Don't force yourself to pray for hour when you can't Start gradually till you find your feet back but, Don't stop praying Prayer works!.  *Alokan Temilade Victoria* *Light Lamp*

In every walk you take There will always be a bad day. In every argument you have There might be harsh words When tears kept flowing From failures and disappointments, From sufferings and broken heart, It's okay; no worries. Everyone finds it tough. Even if living is hard, You'll survive and you'll remember How you've fought and not how it hurts. Breathe in the laughter and cherish the tears, For tomorrow may be the best day, And today is only the beginning. Just hang on and keep going. Cry if you must because, For every master is once a disaster, So don't give up. Be brave and believe, For you are strong and you will fight. Be the champion of yourself, For you deserve nothing but the best. Start living today and leave the past behind. Say goodbye to sorrowful tears. Keep going without hesitation. You'll pull it off, just wait and see. One more time, one more try. You'll see the light. Wake up, stand up, and live life! Dear Sisters, Life can be so tough but,...

Tinuola, stood up from the bed. She walked up to the standing mirror and she gave a long stare and went into a deep thought... "Nothing is ever good, When I look at myself I see all the flaws that no one else should. I hid the pain That has always resides on my face. They tell me I'm beautiful, But how would they know The secrets I have yet to tell? The guilt that eats me up inside About the things I've done Each and every night. They don't see the things that I hide Behind the walls inside my mind. They don't see the flaws on my skin. For if they did, they would think I'm a sin. So, I tell myself, who will ever love me When no one ever hears my pleas? Who could understand my broken thoughts? Maybe one day my thoughts will change, But for now, they still seem to reign. But I will keep fighting each night, Because if I don't, then how else can I find the light?  Dear Tinuola's If you are struggling with self hate that no one seems to see it because you ...

In times of doubts and fears, when the world brings us to tears, we look into Your eyes and we see the One who cares. Your Eyes see us as people of joy and grace. We're beauty in the Eyes of Christ. In times when we're alone, when the world sees us as unloved, we look at you and see the greatest love of all. Your love endures forever. You're always by our side. We are loving in the Eyes of Christ. In times when we are meek, when the world sees us as weak, we look at you and we see the strength we need. Your Eyes are always on us.
