WHAT MAKES ME BEAUTIFUL

What really makes me beautiful?


They've told me so many times that I'm beautiful that I've lost counts. I also know that most times these compliments are borne from sincere hearts and honest lips. To be honest, I have put a lot of efforts to ensure I am always beautiful.


I have read glossy fashion and beauty magazines and I have applied all I read to my life. I hired the best of make-up artists to put the best touches to my face. I have even put half of my fortune into buying the best body creams, shoes and my die to have clothes. The best to me is my JAR Bolt of lightening perfume, I call it my charm. It beckons everyone to my beauty.


He tells I'm beautiful each time he sees me. He tells me he can't wait to marry me, to be the mother of his beautiful children. He shows me off to his friends like 24 karat gold trophy.


Little Sis aspires to be like me. She will do anything to be like me.  For every beauty tip I give her, she pays a fortune in gesture.


BUT!!!

Today I saw a reflection of me and I discover I am miles away from true beauty. I have never been beautiful. My breast is now dried and fallen, my face and skins all wrinkled. Even he with six-packs and muscles now have bouncing castled pot belly.  My legs are bony and my shoes old cargo. Even if they weren't, who wears shoes when bed-ridden.


At 90, I realized I have no legacy. No one wants to like me...of course, who wants to imitate or emulate one who did not add value to her generation?  All the perfect makeup and makeup and clothes may have hidden the real me with no values and manners,  lightening uncontrolled temper, a big bad mouth that can destroy lives and destinies and dirtiness I hid under my Fendi clothing.  But they all spilled out at some point. and everyone knew the real me.


NEVER!!!

WILL I be that person at 90. The long deceit of good body packaging , make up, shoes, catwalks are all over. Because I now know what makes me beautiful.; Knowing God, Families, chocolate and creamy friends,  food, cooking, good money, refusing to listen to or share gossips, loving and helping people, forgiving people, obedience to laws and people in authority, neat house, outings , jolly parties, playtime, children, love, impacting values, knowing who I am, knowing where I am and where I should be and how, adventures, good messages and books, awesome elders and lecturers .../

OH! the list is endless but these are what truly makes me beautiful.

SO AT AGE 90, WILL WHAT MAKE YOU BEAUTIFUL NOW, STILL MAKE YOU BEAUTIFUL ???

THE POWER OF LOVE, NOT LOVE SONGS

Love songs can be really mushy, Love songs can get one  all emotional, Love songs can get one high like being are on drugs, Love songs can give one some kind of catching cold symptoms, No doubt, Love songs are beautiful. Especially those love songs from the '80s and '90s Have you felt the power of love songs in movies or even relationships? Well, The power of love is even greater. In fact, it is nothing compared to what is in love songs.  The kind of love I am talking about is not the type of relationship love. I mean The God's kind of love, the love we have been commanded to show to one another, THE SECOND GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN HISTORY, "..and the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.   All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."   (Mattew 22:39). Jesus furthered gave this commandment again in  John 15:12-13 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, th

100 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER DATE OR MARRY SOMEONE IN THE SAME CHURCH WITH YOU My mentor is one man I know that is so passionate about people meeting their future wife or husband in the same church. You need to see his smiles in such weddings, it is heavenly. But today, let me say it as it is, I have witnessed many of those marriages and relationships. Some ended sour and rotten, few, blissful, couples leave the church after marriage and even stop seeking God. To avoid the avoidable, below are 100 reasons why you should never date or marry someone in the same church with you: 1: He/she is not always good looking the remaining days of the week: Everything on Sundays, from the well fitted suit, shining shoes, ties, make up and perfumes are all packaging. Sundays are the only days when some guys really brush their teeth and scrub under their armpits. You definitely do not want to live with a pig for the rest of your life. 2: Angels only on Sundays, demons on Mondays

My excitement as a corper 3 WEEKS IN RIVERS STATE CAMP: The pains, the pleasures and the love affairs. (A personal account) 16/08/2019 23:00pm Tick tick tick..the hands of the clock crawled. Boom! Boom! Boom! My heart panted. 17/08/2019 00:02 Finally! It's time to download my call up letter. Expectant+ excited+ joyful +sprinkles of fear= what I felt. Network and NEPA didn't disappoint. In seconds,  I had my call up letter downloaded. My joy was the like the feeling you get when you eat the bottom pot of sweet jollof rice. I had always dreamt of serving in Cross River state.  My heart  was filled with thanksgiving to God. 'The God that answereth my NYSC posting...!' That very moment, the beautiful places I have read about came alive in my imaginations. The exotic and assorted foods I would eat there made my mouth watered. Didn't Uncle Aniefiong say that any Calabar lady can snatch the husbands of those who didn't know how to cook?   Even mor
