Salah Friday

Permit me to do a recap on how my day went. After I finished having a nice time with my friends over Skype, I reluctantly agreed to run errands for my mum who has decided to celebrate the Muslim festive public holiday on her bed. I got done with all I had to do at the market. I boarded a fully loaded bus of which I was the last to get in so I sat close to the entrance.While on motion, suddenly, the man beside the driver stood up and was heading towards the back seat trying to jump. I was wondering what was happening, initially I thought his phone was ringing but I later noticed it was the passenger beside him he was running away from.
 The unfortunate passenger was Epileptic.  He had an attack.
I was courageous enough to stay put and not jump out of the bus due to the tension and commotion going on in the bus.
Luckily, the road was a bit free so the driver was able to navigate to the slow lane bringing the bus to a halt.
   I wondered what I could do to help the situation, but I sat afar off lost in thought. The conclusion of my thinking was 'PRAY FOR HIM'. Of course, that's all I could come to a resolution to do. I don't know him from anywhere neither do I know anyone related to him, but I know my prayers can reach him.
 So many people out there are in difficult and pathetic situations that you would never imagine. But your prayers can change someone some day. 'Be the Change'
   Another thing I learnt from that incident was that in every thing you find yourself 'GIVE THANKS'. Acknowledge God in that tiring situation you find yourself, no matter how bad it may be, give thanks to God. What you are passing through can't be compared to what your beautifully dressed friend or neighbor is passing through.
  The third thing I learnt was 'BE IN CONTROL'. Learn to be calm during periods of tension and commotion. Biologically, Adrenaline would take over, but you should learn to take charge -be in control-. I can give a list of my friends that would have jumped out of the bus on motion without a second thought, which would have been a disaster.
    I hope I was able to do the recap of my day and also pass a message across.
Do have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to take the challenge to 'Pray for others', 'Give thanks to God in all Situation' and 'Be in control'.
May Almighty God continue to watch over us.
 With Love from Yanju.

Mis-Take

A mistake is simply something you missed in an attempt to take it and that means you can always make a right take in your next attempt.  Come out of regrets! If you made a mis-take, attempt a re-take so that you can make a right-take. Don't let a wrong step give birth to a wrong life and a wrong future... Successful people are ex-losers who got mad with failure.  Every event is invented by someone, everything that ever gets done is done by someone (Hebrew 3vs4). Without a movement there cannot be a move... You can't resist the Will of God and receive the Grace of God at the same time. Life is a Race on the line of Grace. Outside the line is outside Grace. Grace fuels the race for life to be productive, meaningful and at it best... Welcome to October, the month of freedom and independence. God's grace shall answer for you and your family. Do have a wonderful public holiday and enjoy the rest of your week. Great Minds Mental Digest International

Life Expectations.

Life is all about challenges, obstacles and hurdles towards achieving the great height of success. Our reaction to these present the person we really are. Expectations in life is a very critical issue but so many of us sees it as a norm.  Like everyone should have what they are expectant of! Dont get it twisted, when I mean expectation, I am referring to giving and receiving. Sometimes ago, a friend of mine was critically ill but all glory to God he struggled to recovery stage, at the point of recovery, he picked up his mobile and started listing out names of friends to eliminate from his life. Why? Some even go as far as saying; "Its God that allowed me know the kinda person you are" cos they at some point don't meet up to your intents. I really don't blame him, he expected so much from his friends with the thought that he once rendered one assistance or the other to them at some point which in turn make them indebted to him. My de...
