Flu, Headaches, Valentines and Prayer Meetings...

Almost the end of the month now, how time freakin' flies...

In my current state, I am rather sleepy and slightly dizzy, with slight flu and sore throat... It sucks to be sick... even if it's slightly. Looking around I realise everyone else is as slightly sick as I am, though truth be told that does not give me any form of comfort at all...

It's been almost a month since I came back from my Moore College Studies and I can tell you it ain't easy at all... I find it really hard to get into my study mode again and it has occurred to me I really need a studying environment again. I need a study partner, that's what... A study partner.

But let's keep it real. How many people around me are doing the same course with me... not so much, especially corresponding ones. Looks like I am to walk this path by myself for now.

God help me to be disciplined in this... Pry my hands and my being away from the dastardly machine that is my laptop, that I may escape it's unholy grasp on me, if only for a few hours and concentrate on learning and studying Your words. Plus, exams are coming and I'm freaking out !

Having said that, life once again has been good. Had my first Valentine's celebration with some friends.. Well, I don't know if you can consider this a celebration, but it was a gathering and a fun one at that, with wine and champagne and all the good company that comes with it, and it's on Valentine's day... so yea, Valentine's Day celebration !

It's a lot better than what I did last Valentine... nothing ... unless you see lying on the couch till I doze off as an activity...

Had a conversation with a friend of mine regarding relationships not so long ago, in fact it was just the day after Valentine's. Still slightly groggy from the night before, we were talking about love and it's affect on people, and they do after said affect. One of the most common questions that a man can actually ask a friend, man or woman is, When should I tell her, 2nd question, How should I tell her. The sequence of said questions does not really matter, but be rest assured they will be asked.

Everyone have their own theories on such things and everyone claims to be a Love Guru in one way or another. I myself, of one that has hardly been in a full relationship would often put in my 2 cents on the subject matter, since usually the questioner would accept any form of advise and work through it afterward.

I can't possibly tell when a person should express their feelings, understand that everyone is different and different women operate differently depending on their current situation or current emotional state. Giving a time would just clash with my whole "Every woman is different.." idea.

However, what I can give is this. Regardless of how she feels or is at any current situation, whether she's ready or not, a man should have ( If I may) the balls, to put himself out there. in other words, express himself to the chosen fairer sex. Of course, I assume that I will be under immediate fire after making such statement, especially the "Regardless of how she feels or is at any current situation.." part.

Once again, said man should be able to discern the right moment.

For instance, if you were to introduce a food product into the market, there are many things that could be done, advertising, food testing and so on and so forth. But one of the most important aspect is the placement of the product on the shelf. Regardless of whether a customer were to buy said product, they must first be aware of it, then make the choice of whether to purchase it or not. If not, the interest or even the slightest thought of buying the product would cease to exist, since the product had itself ceased to exist in the customers view.

I hope the women reading this are not offended by the example which I have just given. I am just trying to justify and explain my point in the simplest manner possible.

Will the customer buy the product? No one knows, only the customer does. And what if the customer doesn't. well, then it's alright, there will always be someone else interested in said product. Perhaps it might even be his or favourite for a time being.

Simple. Yes ? Maybe not. Choosing a spouse is not exactly buying canned food. Canned foods can't fully represent a man, men have hearts.

Dang, this metaphor seemed almost perfect... haha... back to the drawing board again I guess...

Anyways, just had the opportunity to lead a church wide prayer meeting, it was awesome and tiring. Have to really thank God for giving me the strength to do that just now. To think that just half an hour before that I was having a headache and bad flu and the moment before I went onstage I was feeling all feverish inside.

It's good to see the church moving towards the vision that was given. I would encourage everyone to give their best if not their all in God's work for His glory.

Till next time. God bless guys !!!
