The Writeventures of Emaleecious

Hi. I have become as irregular as a leap year...but my thoughts are still here sometimes. How have you been?What new thing have you been up to recently? I saw a beat up power bike today and it made me pause. The rider was perched on it like it was going to fly. Alas, the bike was so beat up it couldn't even run. The roaring sound that is synonymous with power bikes was absent, in its place was a broken growl. I felt bad for the bike...but on a second thought, I figured the bike "lived its life" to the fullest. It probably thundered as it flew past in its prime, roared for people to pave a path hurriedly for it. I imagine it was also very resplendent to see. A beast indeed. It lived a life worthy of its name. I am sure (don't ask me how) it made its manufacturer proud. Of course, you know I will ask...what are you doing with your life? Are you living it to please your maker? Will you look back when you are old and grey and say "Yes, I lived my lif...

As I type this,  today makes it a year of God's faithfulness. It's not just my birthday,  it's the anniversary of the birth of my first child Tehila.  Yep, she was born on my birthday. No, it wasn't planned,  it just happened as God wanted. One whole year of God's faithfulness. How do I begin to express my gratitude to God for this beautiful gift. This bundle of inexhaustible energetic adorable cute angel God gave me to watch over for him? How do I summarise one fantastic super duper year in one blog post?  How do I begin to describe the beauty of this past year? How do I begin to thank you for your; Daily protection Daily provision Daily guidance Daily strength Daily healing Daily love Daily companionship? When you first gave me this gift, I was afraid.  I didn't know how I would fare as a mom. Would I know what to do? How do I take care of her? My heart was fraught with worry. But you whispered and told me to be still and look on to you. You ...

Nothing is private. Not when you have to put it online anyway. I bet the account owners of Ashley Madison have realized this a little too late. Funny, this isn't even the first time a dating website as been hacked into. Yet we find people flocking to these websites every time. source  I don't even want to imagine how those who have accounts on Ashely Madison (Read all about it here source 1 and here source 2 ) must be feeling right now. Its like all their secrets have been exposed. How do you face your spouse? How do you explain to your family? Your friends? How do you raise your head up when you have been caught pants down  with your hands in the proverbial cookie jar? How does your partner (who probably has been faithful to you) trust you again? WOW!!! Is there really a thing called Married dating?Like how can you be married and still be dating at the same time? I ain't no judge, but it just sounds so wrong!!! Wrong on all counts.If you are marri...

Hey! Hope you had a smashing weekend?  Mine was a blur of activities.  I don't even know how we reached Monday.  I'm still booting. 😑 Please I urgently and desperately need your advice.

I look forward to your responses in the comment section. Thank you in anticipation. Have a favor -full week. Mwah!

Hello world! Its been waaaaayyyyy tooooooo long. I don't know how its possible for someone who desires solitude to avoid quiet places. I love reading blogs and reading things generally, but somehow, that hasn't been possible for me in such a long time. For the past 1 week however, my mind has been coming back here. I owe you my follower a profound apology for "letting life happen". I will not promise to blog everyday, but I will try my best (God aiding me) to be more regular. I'm sure you are wondering what finally made me come back? Well today while we were all busy at work, someones phone started ringing and this made everyone in the office stop, look up with fear and mentally count everyone to be sure we were not "suddenly" missing anyone. Now I'm sure this has you interested. Yes?  Guess what the ring tone was? It was the sound of "the Trumpet"!!! SO we all stopped and looked up. All of us- Muslims and Christians alike....

I am still here.... Source #testingtesting #twehtweh yay! the mic is working! lol

I asked God for a purple life. Purple is the colour of royalty, right?  I wanted a life that was rich. Not in the material sense of the word, just a life that had it all- An amazing career, a fabulous job, an opulent lifestyle,  a rich hawt hunk of a husband, the cutest kids ever...you get the drill! I wanted a purple background, filled with bouquets of all sorts- roses🌹 daffodils, tulips🌷, carnations, bluebells, buttercups, cherryblossoms, daisies, forget me nots...etc. I wanted them not to appreciate them really, but for the aesthetic beauty they could provide. Guess what God gave me?- A grey life! How disappointing, right? I know!!! I reminded Him, about my request. But God,  I knew what I wanted as far back as high school.  I prayed about it for ages. Did you mix up my request with someone else's?  I asked God said "no, babe. I didn't mix up the requests, I gave you just what you need" What I need? But I know what I need....
