<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hi Guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, I'll go a bit preachy on y'all with my Motivation Monday Post...something I heard the Pastor say in church.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ezra 3:10 and 11:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="text Ezra-3-11" id="en-NIV-12109"><sup class="versenum">10</sup></span>When the builders laid<sup class="crossreference" data-cr="#cen-NIV-12108T" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-12108T" title="See cross-reference T">T</a>)"></sup> the foundation of the temple of the <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span>, the priests in their vestments and with trumpets,<sup class="crossreference" data-cr="#cen-NIV-12108U" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-12108U" title="See cross-reference U">U</a>)"></sup> and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) with cymbals, took their places to praise<sup class="crossreference" data-cr="#cen-NIV-12108V" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-12108V" title="See cross-reference V">V</a>)"></sup> the <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span>, as prescribed by David<sup class="crossreference" data-cr="#cen-NIV-12108W" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-12108W" title="See cross-reference W">W</a>)"></sup> king of Israel.<sup class="crossreference" data-cr="#cen-NIV-12108X" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-12108X" title="See cross-reference X">X</a>)"></sup> <span class="text Ezra-3-11" id="en-NIV-12109"><sup class="versenum">11 </sup>With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span>:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="line" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="text Ezra-3-11">“He is good; </span><span class="indent-1"><span class="text Ezra-3-11">his love toward Israel endures forever.”<sup class="crossreference" data-cr="#cen-NIV-12109Y" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-12109Y" title="See cross-reference Y">Y</a>)"></sup></span></span></div>
<div class="first-line-none top-05" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="text Ezra-3-11">And all the people gave a great shout<sup class="crossreference" data-cr="#cen-NIV-12109Z" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-12109Z" title="See cross-reference Z">Z</a>)"></sup> of praise to the <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span>, because the foundation<sup class="crossreference" data-cr="#cen-NIV-12109AA" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-12109AA" title="See cross-reference AA">AA</a>)"></sup> of the house of the <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span> was laid.</span></div>
<div class="first-line-none top-05" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="text Ezra-3-11"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How many times have we thrown parties and rolled out the red carpet because we built the foundation of a house? Sounds ridiculous right? Of course. So we wait till the building's completed and then throw a huge housewarming party. But see, the Priests broke out the cymbals and harps, wearing their best clothing, praising God and rejoicing for the little they had accomplished.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How does this relate to us, I hear you ask. We're never really thankful for the little things. We do not celebrate the little things instead we wait for the seemingly big things so we can show off with our really magnificent testimonies. How about you first appreciate the little. In doing this, you're better able to appreciate the bigger ones. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The little victories are worth celebrating too. Buy yourself new shoes when you lose 2kg of your set goal of 5kg, new lipstick for acing level 1 of your CFA...Doing this will give us more courage and strength to begin the next phase. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the project has been completed, by all means shut your street down and party all night too. Just don't forget to celebrate the little victories.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have a great weekend guys!</div>

Motivation Monday: Own it!

Hi Everybody,<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So this is something I've been
meaning to start on the blog...something different but relevant to everyone at
the same time. We all need a little motivation and if I can add my own 2 cents,
why not? Trust me, I need this motivation as much as you do...or maybe you
don't? Maybe I'm doing it for myself alone. That works for me too...not every time
fashion and beauty, sometimes motivation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Hehe. Okies, to the point.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If you do not take anything away
from this post, remember this; People are tactless and sometimes say hurtful
things. Some really do not have a filter and utter everything and anything that
comes to their heads. While some are really dealing with major self-worth
issues and say mean things to bring others down, thinking this makes them look better.
A lot of people are in the latter category.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I recently put on a lot of
weight...ice-cream everyday seven consecutive days will do that to you. It
should be mentioned that I look at myself in the mirror everyday and see proof
of this. If however I need further justification, the shrinkage of all my
clothes provides that. However some people believe that, if they do not
lovingly point out the obvious to me, I will never know. I've heard comments
from 'OMG OMG OMG you're fat, what are you eating?' to 'Haaaa, you've blown up'
to 'Orobo, always adding weight' to 'You want to be like my mummy?'. Gosh.
People talk. And as much as I try to thicken the
I-don't-care-what-you-say-about-me wall that threatens to suffocate me, these
things find a way to penetrate and hurt me sometimes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K0fM6pXwUBo/VATcPklglGI/AAAAAAAABhE/zH4FlfonaR0/s1600/self-esteem.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K0fM6pXwUBo/VATcPklglGI/AAAAAAAABhE/zH4FlfonaR0/s1600/self-esteem.jpg" width="243" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Solution? The next time someone
says something hurtful or tactless to you, look them up and down, find one
thing/area you're better at them and throw it in their faces. Yes, I said it.
We can't all get along anyway, right?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For example:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Hater: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>'Omg, babe you're so fat now!'</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You awesome being: 'Whatever, my
weave's flyer than yours anyway'</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
LOL! Ok, maybe not. However, what you
need to know is you are beautiful! You are special. You are different and you
have so much to offer. If you don't like something about yourself, you can CHANGE
IT! There is NOTHING you cannot do, absolutely nothing!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BRTwRtRqw2c/VATb_Zi0kwI/AAAAAAAABhA/xHjz1d5ma7Q/s1600/Own%2BIt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BRTwRtRqw2c/VATb_Zi0kwI/AAAAAAAABhA/xHjz1d5ma7Q/s1600/Own%2BIt.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>If your sense of self isn't where it's
supposed to be, it's fine. Love yourself anyway. Then build yourself up...nobody
else will do it. There is power in the tongue people. Speak words of
encouragement to yourself over and over and over again. You are who you (and
God) say you are. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Own it darlings, OWN IT!</div>
