Mentoring

For me a good mentor knows how to recognize the the eggs or the chicks and the eaglets to separate them for there purpose and nature.Let me speak in a fables.Once, there was an aviary and the caretaker found an egg in the wild not recognizing the egg, He thought that the egg belongs to an eagle but the egg belongs to a chicken.Incidentally he remembered that an eagle in the aviary is laying eggs there thus as he came home and visited the aviary and he put the chicken egg in the eagle nest believing that the egg was an eagle. Time passed and the eggs began to hatch, still the care taker do not recognize the chick and the eaglet. To cut the story short the chick grew up believing that he is an eagle.The time came that the eagle began to learn to fly but in frustration the chicken cannot fly, but still the chicken believed that he was an eagle and someday he can fly.Years quickly passed by some eagles soared high and the poor chicken cannot manage to fly even six feet high.For all those years, the chicken struggled to learn to fly in frustration.In desperation the chicken left the place, headed to the nearest town and found a poultry. There the chicken found peace yet full of regret and frustration blaming the caretaker what he has done to him.The chicken is old,tired, weary and wasted.

Door and a Heavy heart

The other day I have an appointment for a meeting before that I checked my blog and read some of my favorites blog. When I am reading one of my favorites I come across to some personalities which I have knew long time ago and I am very glad knowing that they are still alive and well I continue reading and saw some of his achievements. At first I am very happy for him but some thing pierce my heart,envy creep inside me and stole my joy.. comparing myself to him and his achievements in life. Suddenly self-pity ruled my heart .I degraded myself compared to his achievements thus coming to the meeting that day with a heavy heart feeling hopeless and full of self pity. So I came to the meeting that day go to the registration area and registered with a heavy heart. I almost call it a day and go home in fact I kinda late in the meeting.I stare at the door fixing my eyes to the door knob thinking of going home or going in finally I made my decision to enter because I heard some voices inside the room. I silently come in and sat in the corner of the room and listen to the speaker..Fortunately the topic of the speaker is about achievements and how God appointed people ,promote people and delegate people. suddenly the topic of the speaker hit me and I felt a relief in my heavy heart knowing that there is God love me and value my achievements. The joy my heart was restored and loved myself not comparing to the achievements of other people. I go home restored and full of hope and joy.What if I do not enter that room? what if I go home.. now I realized that the solution in many problem in life is only behind that door..we have to come enter..do not be afraid..step and come in.

Cats,Kites and Attachment

The other day one of my relatives brought a kitten in the house ,I don’t know what is her purpose or where it came from.I remember in the past once I have a cat in the house for not having a pet but for the sake of getting rid of the mice roaming around in house,I telling you frankly I hate cats but mice is really annoying thus I prepared to have cats rather than mice. To my surprise my cousin’s advice is true that if there is cat in the house the mice will go away.For this reason of removing the pain in my neck I begin to loved my cat.Attachment developed between me and my cat. I love her company,rubbing her fur to my leg, surprising me when I am not conscious that she is present and always play with me.My attachment grew bigger to my cat.One day she came home not feeling well limping and just sleeping in the corner of the house. For my concerned I called her to my side to give water to drink for I know that she in not feeling well..She wake up staring at me limping and struggling to come to me and licked the water I gave so I leave for awhile trusting that she gonna be okay .I came backed after an hour to check her only to find out that she is not there in the place were I leave her. I look around inside the house but I can’t find my cat. I decided to go around the garden and found her dead.It broke my heart ..I realized that when she came to me an hour ago for a drink of water inspite of pain and limping ,pulling her self just to be with me, responding to my call and staring at me is her dead bed. Yes I almost cry today writing my story.That is attachment..There is power in attachment..It is an invisible thread that bind to us..maybe to a certain place,things or person. I know God gave me a message to value attachment..God send many thing in our life to have attachment especially people. Maybe it hash from the beginning yet it come up beautiful. Perhaps the prodigal son came home realizing his attachment to his father. In the other side the father waiting day and night for his son to come back because of his attachment to his son.Let us value our attachment to one another..there is power in attachment.

Surprise by the Spirit

Somebody told me that I can experience the living God like the wind that you cannot see by the naked eyes but you can feel it and hear it.Again interest grew in my heart asking, If is it possible to experience the unseen God ?Days after days the eagerness to experience the living God grew bigger and bigger inside me.I became so desperate and hungry for God.Out of my eagerness to meet God somebody intruduced me to the Holy Spirit which is in my bible. I have already read it in the book of Acts 2: 1- ff. so I acknowledged the Holy Spirit as God and have faith in God that He will reveal to me what I am looking for then suddenly the Spirit of God took me by surprise He let me experience the Living God.The simplest way I can expplain it is the mentos and the diet coke.Take it by faith and God will surprise you.

Surprise by the book

How many times I have read this book but nothing new to me .It just a novel or a history .I was encouraged to try and read this book because of the testimony of many people that has read this book and their life was changed .Some claimed that the book speak to them as the word pierce their heart and other was refreshed full of joy and encouragement . Other said that it is their food and for some claimed that it is the manual of their life . Some parents said that they use the book for their children , for business ,health, wisdom , romance, guidance and even miracle. There so many testimony about this book . That push me to read and search this book yet nothing new to me. Suddenly ,Something come along and a man come along and introduced me to the author of the book .From that moment I have known the author and have relationship with Him I was surprised when I open and read the book I can testify that the claimed of those people are true. I was so excited and continue read the book . Its like a treasure to me that I cant live without .Now I am one of them who testify that this book is alive. .what happened to them and what they experienced about this book is also happening to me .Well finally found out that this book is called the bible . Now for me this book is not a novel or history. You can try it for yourself.
