The issue is not so much that time is going fast, the real issue is the state of our hearts towards God. There are many falsehoods being generated about Christ's coming but truth is, no one knows when he will be coming. Jesus himself said this:
"At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect."
-Matthew 24:23-24, NIV-

But what we do know  according to Jesus' words in Matthew 24:36 is this:
“About that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
-Matthew 24:36, NIV-

And there will be signs to warn us, so that we can prepare for his coming. The Bible says:
"For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."
-Matthew 24:22, NIV- 

So, when we see time flashing past and we are trying to play catch-up, thank the Lord for his mercy. The mercy of shortened days, so that his word can come to pass. His word says:
"Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away."
-Matthew 24:34-35, NIV-

Let's think about it!

As we celebrate mother's day, let's not forget to appreciate those who have helped make the motherhood role that much easier. Even Jesus understood the importance of community. That was why, when he was crucified and was about to die he handed his mother over to his disciple to care for her. The Bible says in John 29:26-27 that, when Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home (John 19:27).

How many people write a thank you note to their parents, their siblings, their loved ones, their educators or to their youth and community workers? In a time where we easily find faults, we have become accustomed to seeing what is wrong instead of seeking out the good. No man is truly an island. So, as we celebrate mother's day, let's not forget to appreciate those who have helped made the role of motherhood that much easier. 

It's the day of appreciation my lovelies! Time to take note of those supportive meaningful people that have made your life that much better...Oh there's no reason to go on a crazy over-spend! Just use whatever you have. Anyone who truly loves you will appreciate the gesture. It's always the thought that counts guys. Remember that. Happy Valentine's day!

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind...You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 22:39 — New International Version (NIV)

First off, find yourself some comfortable shoes. Next, map out your journey by selecting the installations you want to see. And nope, you don’t have to revisit the same installations you’ve previously seen. That way, you save yourself some valuable time to explore the new installations. Oh...one more thing: you don't have to see all the lights in one go. Make an event of it and go over a few days. See different installations and take in the beauty of the lights. Enjoy your visit to the Winter Lights if you do decide to go.

Stay blessed and keep on going! 

A poem to celebrate new beginnings and to encourage us to keep on going come what may. Remember, whilst there is breath there is still life and whilst there is life, there is still hope. Here's wishing you all a happy new year!
