Don’t stare at me because I am dark
Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother’s sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I have neglected. –song of Songs 1:6
Imagine a world with similar men, the same height, complexion, character, dressing, size, I mean, what would the world look like? It would be just one big boring monotonous space. You know, when I think of the fact that God has so much taste, I marvel. He knew what he was doing when he created us the way he did. Even as ladies, you hear things like, “I want my husband to be tall, dark, not so big”, from others you hear, “I like big, fat men, and I want him to be light complexioned”. This is exactly the same with men. They have various tastes. So why would a beautiful lady take herself to either a surgeon to turn her body upside down or to the market to purchase some form of bleaching substance. You are dark and so what. Black is beautiful .If you doubt that, come to Africa. You are so bright and fair? Don’t you know your creator is the bright and morning star? You are so fat you think you are gonna burst? Well, who do you think is gonna live longer if the world is in famine for years. Awwwn your so small? That’s cute mehn! Like I mean, your husband would have no problem lifting you up on your wedding day. You think you are ugly? Remove the makeup masks from those models you are envious of and stop using them as a measurement for your beauty. At times, we tend to forget who our creator is and the Bible says we were created in his image!! God is the most handsome man ever! He is soooo!! Mehnn, I don’t even know the words to use so why look down on yourself? You are perfect the way you are honey Jso don’t ever change for society or for anyone else. If you meet someone who you have to change yourself for, then sweetheart, you are in the wrong place. Appreciate yourself cos there’s no one else like you and you are really beautiful! J

3 rd and final part of “but I was just 14. Aunty ini lived in the heart of Calabar that was where all the activity took place. She was so happy to see me and was very hospitable. Her house was very big and she looked very wealthy unlike how she was in primary school. I found out that she went back to the university after she left my primary school to get a degree in medicine. She was now a medical doctor at an international hospital with a branch in Calabar. One day, she came into my room and hugged me for about 5 minutes without letting me go. She said it wasn’t my fault that any of that happened. She told me that sometimes, bad things happen to good people and those good people have no control over those circumstances. She hugged me and we both cried. I was relieved. I felt better. That was the first time since the incident I felt loved and not worthless. That was all I needed to hear. I wanted to hear that it didn’t happen to me because I was a bad person. I wanted to hear...

Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ''Jeremiah, what do you see?'' and I said, ''I see a branch of an almond tree''. And the Lord said to me ''You have seen well, for I am ready to perform my word'' 💓 Image Credit: Google  I see God's peace in the chaos and anxiety I see forgiveness, even when guilt tries to overwhelm me I see God's plan even when life goes off track I see God's hand even when my plans fall through I see the gift of eternal life in life, and in death I see joy even when my heart aches I see God's wisdom even when I make mistakes I see God's promises amidst it all I see my season, I see my future I see the branch of an almond tree I see the gift of salvation The almond tree is the first fruit tree to bloom in all of Israel, and the last to bear fruit. The owners have to wait for a bit more to see the fruits, and eventually the fruits come, they take it to the market and sell for good pri...
