The Potter's Clay? The Potter's clay!


Gorgeous, i wanted to use a caption that totally does not relate to this post...or so I think🤔

Waaiittt...I think I will still use it

THE POTTER'S CLAY

--------

There, I did it.
When you're an adult and realise you have free will 😂😂

Anyways, don't mind me. I will try to make this write-up relate to the heading as much as I can.

-----------

Something I have learnt about controlling your emotions and reactions is that practice really does make perfect and to master it effectively, you need to consciously keep yourself in check.

Let me tell you a story...
Or maybe two.
Or three 🤔🤔
I need to exercise my free will 😁😂
You go read, abi you no go read?🫣
-------------


The other day, someone got my sister really angry.
She was livid. I mean VERY, VERY angry.
She shouted, vented, huffed and puffed.
At one point, everybody just started scattering, looking for shelter and safety 😂
It was both a tense and funny sight.

After a while of venting, she marched into the loo and locked herself inside. After some time, she came out less angry and over the course of the week, everything gradually calmed down.

Later, I asked her how she managed to calm herself.
Do you know what she told me?

Apparently, while she was angry, she started feeling dizzy because her blood pressure was dropping.
Now, if you have low blood pressure issues like my sister, you will understand that stress can make your pressure drop even lower.
And just like high blood pressure, that's not something you want to play with.
So there she was, sitting in the loo, angry and dizzy.
Then she said to herself:
"Koko, your heart is beating slower and slower and you're getting dizzy. If you fall and die now, who will believe that anger killed you?"
😭😭😭😂😂😂
Can you imagine?

With that one sentence, she called herself to order. Nobody did. Not our countless "sorry", Not our countless "calm down."
She calmed herself down, by herself.
--------------

Are you ready for Story 2?
Why won't you be? 😂
I won't tell it though 😌
Free will.
Somebody shout POWER! 😂😂
------------

Anyways,
I don't want this to be long.
What I am trying to say is this:
When you are faced with something or someone who stresses you, angers you, or disturbs your emotions in any way, remind yourself that you do not have to surrender to those emotions.
Feel the emotion, yes.
But don't let it rule you.
-------------

I have come to realise a little hack, and I want to share it with you.
On the days you feel your lowest: Dress up more; laugh more, look extra pretty, smile more, pamper yourself and get yourself a gift. Yez, do something sweet for yourself! Go for a walk, listen to music, pray. Call someone you love and do something that reminds you that life is still beautiful.

And to the people who tend to provoke you? Love them anyway even if it's from afar. Even if all you can do is pray for them and keep your distance, still choose love.
Don't allow yourself to go down.
Fight for your joy, peace, and heart.
Only you can do that.

If you're married, this is also the time to bond deeply with your spouse.
Emotionally.
Spiritually.
Physicallllllyyyyyyy
(You know what I mean 🥂😉😌😂, God will help us singles😭.)
Draw closer to each other, not further apart.

Gorgeous, please don't just let yourself sink.
You are God's clay.
The Potter's clay.
(See? I linked it to the heading abi? 😂😂)
Free will! 😂

I hope you get it.
Happy weekend.

With love,
Mams!🥂

weekly reminder: WORRY- why you should avoid it

Image
"I know that I will live to see the Lord's goodness in this present life." (Psalm 27:13 GNT) The grace of a new day is worth celebrating, remembering us that life is worth living, one day at a time.  Dear Gorgeous, You see, it’s so easy to get lost in tomorrow. We worry about what hasn’t even happened yet: the bills, the children, the job we want, the relationship we’re praying for (for the single brethren among us 🤗). Before we know it, our hearts are heavy with what ifs. But Jesus said in Matthew 6:34, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” He wasn’t dismissing our needs; He was reminding us to live in the grace of today. God gives fresh mercies every morning because He knows we cannot carry tomorrow’s load with today’s strength. Gorgeous, everything you long for will fall into place in its time. 💡 This week, remember: Worry doesn’t change tomorrow. It only steals today’s peace...

(Ponder Wednesday): What is Morality?

Image
Gorgeous,  What is Morality? Is God involved in Morality? Recently, I read a book that said that morality points to God. As in, all humans instinctively know there is right and wrong. That's why we argue using “That’s not fair!”, even when we break it ourselves. Morality is not just instinct or social conditioning. Something deeper judges our instincts. The moral law is real because it tells us what we ought to do, not just what we actually do. So, If a moral law exists, then there must be a moral Law-giver. This points to something like a Mind behind the universe. Because there is a mind behind the universe, we do have cause to be uneasy because this Mind is not neutral. It expects goodness, and we consistently fall short. That should unsettle us. Morality isn’t made up. It points beyond humanity to God, and exposes our failure. Now, what do you think? Do you agree? Can we be morally right without God; ie. only relying on our instincts? If you loved this piece, please ...
