I walked past the array of several beautiful white and red items, still trying to find the most beautiful gift I could get for him, my love.

A red rose? A box of chocolate? Cup cakes?  A bottle of wine? A teddy? ... Hmmm, they all seem  nice enough but I still was confused.

After picking and putting back few items, I got tired of trying to make the decision alone. So, I turned to ask my best friend who was quietly watching my confusion, 'What do you think?'  I asked

After what seemed like a long pause, bestie asked, 'Why are you getting him a gift?'
Irritated by the question, 'because it's VALENTINE!' I blurted. 'What a question', I wondered as I walked away from him towards a big white teddy that had  'I LOVE YOU' inscribed on it.

Then the voice came again (bestie's), 'You need me to help you make a very good choice you know'.
'Then help me out' I said wearily.

'Jhummie, I don't think he'll like any if these. You know what he likes, what he always wants, and it's none of these' bestie said.

'I know' I said to myself. I just thought I could get something to show him that I still care, it's been a while I did that. My distance from him these days makes me feel that he might think I don't care about him anymore, but I still love him and I want to show it to him.

I realised that no gift was as good as what my love wants from me, to spend quality time daily with him, to live the life he has called me to, to replicate his love to everyone around, every time... I have been so busy with life, so much so that  I have deprived the one who loves me the most the love he deserves. 'He understands' was what I always told myself.

As I impatiently walked towards my car with increased pace, I could feel bestie smiling at me, glad that I finally understood better.

There he was waiting for me as usual, he always cherish every  moment spent with Him. I saw the want of me in his eyes. Oh,  how I love to be with him. He smiled as he opened his loving arms, I ran into them and he said those three words I always love to hear. He smiled at me and said, 'I have loved you with an everlasting love, with unfailing love have I drawn you to myself, NOTHING can ever separate you from my love...' on and on he went reminding me of his love for me, telling me his intents for me...

Mi amor, you have given me the greatest gift ever, your love. You even gave up the most precious thing for me, your only son.
From the rising of the sun till the setting of the same, you love me still.
With you I have known what love really is because you've never held it back from me, not even for a second.

I will compose the best of songs just for you, I will write the best of poems for you, I will tell everyone how I feel about you all the time, early in the morning will I rise just to seek your face, just to see that smile on your face. I will let you in because you first let me in, I will love you because you first loved me. I will spend the strength of my youth loving you and all the years you'll give me adoring who you are. You who love me more than I can ever love myself.

You are the lyrics to a perfect love song, you are the rose of Sharon, the lily of the valley, the bright morning star, the beautiful king. It's in You I live, I move and have my being. Your praise shall continually be in my mouth.

No greater love than this you have for me. I love you because you first love me. I am yours and you are mine, FOREVER!

God's love is so real, out of it came the greatest gift ever to mankind. Open your heart today, let Him fill it with a love that no man can ever give. You think you're not worthy of it, ask Him to help you accept that love today.

Prayer: Dear Lord, I ask that you help me to walk in the light of your love, teach me to embrace this gift you have free lull y given and help me to always replicate it. Thank you for the gift of your unending love...

WATER, A CURE FOR DANDRUFF!

-
For about six years before now, I struggled with dandruff on my hair. I tried several means just to cure this hair ailment but to no avail. I did the two-week interval washing, I used several kinds of antidandruff treatment, at a point I even thought it was something that should be dealt with internally and I had to use antibiotics and herbs, still the dandruff persisted. It got so frustrating that I almost took it as a fate because each time I applied oil, my scalp got dried almost immediately making it seem like I never applied cream or oil for days. I changed shampoos, hair creams and treatments, I used shea butter, olive oil, EVO, and even all combined, I remember a friend calling me 'danddy' because that name sounded like an abbreviation for dandruff, plus the dandruff usually caused a painful scalp for me. Finally, thank God for my friend, Angela who made me understand.that dryness is not necessarily caused by lack of oil but more importantly, lack of water and so, she

I discovered my love for blazers or jackets sometime ago, any material made jacket catches me. Be it denim, chiffon, ankara ,velvet or lace, any material... Jackets have been discovered to be not just a fashionable piece but a stylish one considering that it never goes out of fashion. The fascinating thing is that they have a way of accentuating the simplest of clothings, you could combine a simple sleeveless gown and a jacket and look really more than casual. At the corporate, casual, semi corporate, business casual levels of clothing, jackets are perfect  pieces. The pictures below say more

      I'm not in a very good position to give relationships advice. But, during one of my reflection times some days back, I realized by the Spirit of God, how much power of choice we have as females when it comes to whom we give our heart to, who we get to marry, who we get to give the chance of a date with us.      The question is; If we have this power, why then do we still make choices we later regret. The truth is that, some of these mistakes, or factors causing these mistakes can be avoided through several ways of which the most important is seeking the heart desire of the creator of man himself. He sees and knows what we don't, he knows the end from the beginning, and the beginning from the end.       Therefore, one of the most important things is to seek the will of God, which will guide you in choosing rightly.       In case you didn't know, your relationships can make you a more beautiful and complete woman or otherwise. I pray we all make the right choice.
