YOU ARE IMPORTANT!!!

Hello readers, compliments of the season. I pray that this joyous season will bring nothing less than goodnews to your home.

There is a topic i want to share and it was inspired by a conversation i had with my loved ones yesterday and it is about how insignificant people feel in the church and then leave because they either don't feel appreciated or feel limited. I have left a church before for another and the main reason was because i just wanted more...more food, more meat, more challenge and thankfully i found the more in the church i moved to...I felt i could do more for God and also be more disciplined in my salvation.But what i disagree with is when people leave because they dont feel important or appreciated...Remember Noah?? He was only one person and because of Him an entire nation was saved. The devil is constantly seeking who to devour and that is why God has instructed us to renew our minds daily..the devil will always try to lie to you by saying "You are not important". Please never ever believe that.

YOU ARE IMPORTANT!!! Every born-again Christian in the church of Christ has a part to play in God's plan. Whether you are a backup singer or a cleaner or an usher or anything, God has something for you to do that no one else can do just like you can and you MUST believe this. If you don/t take your place or remain in your place and do your part, things wont be quite right.

Look in Genesis 6, and you will see that the people on the earth had gotten so wicked that God had regretted that He even made them. He was ready to wipe the whole population out-but He didn't. Why?Because of one man;Noah! One obedient man saved the human race.

Think about it. What if Noah had said, 'Well, this is just too much pressure for me. I can't live uprght before God in the middle of this ungodly generation. Everyone is just fake, they dont even practice what they preach, i am fed up and i am leaving..i cant make a difference anyway, i am only but one man"..Imagine if Noah said that??

Praise God Noah didnt say that. He didnt picture himself as insignificant or someone who didnt matter or wasnt noticed or appreciated. He saw himself as a man to whom God had spoken and by faith he obeyed God according to the book of Hebrews. And because of that he ended up being the only thing that stoood between mankind and total destruction.

Next time you are tempted to just leave or give up in serving God and man, next time you are tempted to just ignore the instructions of God and be disobedient-remember Noah. Consider the fact that , whether you understand it or not, God is counting on you to carry out your part of His plan. Live like you are someone important in the Kingdom of God. And sooner or later you will realise that YO ARE IMPORTANT!!!

God forgives and He breaks every chain!

No matter the situation, He is there for us. He forgives when we ask, He understands. He leads us to and on the path we're destined to take and He is there to help us succeed. We must remember that He never leaves us. He provides. He takes care of us, so we must relax when we feel anxiety creeping into our bones and turn to Him.

God is with us!!

We are not perfect. God knows that, we're human. We will fall, we will make mistakes, we will ache. It's important to remember that He understands. He doesn't want to see any of children hurt. He is there for us, to help us heal, to get back on track. He does not abandon us. He stays with us through it all. When times are difficult we must remember to turn toward HIm, not away.

The Struggle Is Real. Maybe. Wait a minute. . .

Is the struggle actually real? Oh yeeees it is, ohhh yeees it is for me. I can’t even begin to start mentioning the struggles I’ve face for the past couple of months. Like the struggle to remain sane in this confusing world and even try to make sense of the things that happen sometimes..Well I can say that I have gotten to a place where I fight my battles in prayer, yes I will admit that I am not always consistent but I write this because I want to get to a place of consistency and the only way to do that is to be truthful.

I don’t know what you may be struggling with right now but I encourage you to keep fighting, not physically but spiritually…get down on your knees and fight those battles….I fell inlove with a song I heard in church recently and I want you to listen, please listen and be very blessed.

Happy Sunday 12:02:17

Happy Sunday People...
I feel blessed and I hope you do too. The bible is such an amazing book and I want you to print out these confessions backed up with their verses.. they will help you exercise your faith...Repeat them as often as you can and believe them...

YEEES!!!!!

Marbella, Spain-Tips for you

Those who know me know i looooove travelling, so i"ve decided for every trip i make i'll share so you can decide if you will visit or not...I'll be writing about the others but the one for this month is Marbella (Beautiful Ocean)

Holiday details

Destination: Marbella, Spain

Airport: Malaga

Hotel: H10 Andulacia

Airline: British Airways

Marbella is a city and resort area on southern Spain’s Costa del Sol, part of the Andalusia region.We stayed there for just 4days and I will try as much as I can to break it all down for you....Enjoy!!

Day 1

We had a very early flight, so we got to Marbella at about 10am-Don't waste your money jumping on any of those airport taxi offers as there is a Bus stop right infront of the airport once you exit, all you have to do is get a ticket from the ticket stand which cost between 7-8euros depending on the time of your bus... It takes about an hour to get to marbella bus station

Our bus ride to Marbella from the airport.

As soon as we got to the bus station we took a taxi to our hotel... We were happy with what we saw...though we had to wait a bit for them to sort our room out, but it was worth the wait ( 20 minutes or so...)

We took a nap for about 4hrs, got up, freshened up and headed to calle medio in Marquez del Duero, ... We went to the  best restaurant in San Pedro de Alcantara: Restaurante Alcantara( Highly Recommended)

...for starter we had gambas pil pil, aguacate con langostinos and piña tropical then our main was spaghetti vongole (spaghetti with clams and prawns, cooked in white wine and chopped garlic) and lubina con verduras (sea bass with vegetables)... We ended with a delicious dessert called "Dama blanca aka white lady" basically icecream, cream and chocolate with a twist.

We relaxed till about midnight chatting and chilling then took a taxi to our hotel for about €8....boy were we glad to walk into a cool room cos we left one of our keys in the slot so the ac can be left on while we are out... You do know when u take it out everything goes off including the fridge.. So for those of you that don't already know... Always ask for a second key and leave one permanently in that slot if you want to walk into a cool room and cool drinks ln your fridge :) That was it for day 1

Day 2.

Woke up at about 9am, had breakfast which was very lovely..they had alot of variety and i was pleased... Breakfast was served between7.30-10.30am

Went back to the room... We got ready, took a stroll round our hotel appreciating it's beauty... However, we were disappointed that we had to pay for iron..lol...we let that slide and went on to capture a few moments

Relaxed, chatted and chilled till  about 4pm then we started our day.. Got a taxi to puerto banus ... Went to Zara in Marina Banús...they had some irresistible deals... Trust me to lay my hands on what looks like a good deal for my loyal customers...

After shopping we went to Terra Sana for wraps and got a nice chicken avocado wrap... It was yummmy and cost about €10

Then we walked around puerto banus appreciating the beauty of the town... We just saw cars and cars and cars everywhere... From ferraris to bentleys to Lamborghinis to some i haven't even seen or heard of before and they had all the designer shops by the port... It was beautiful... All sorts of yachts... Different shapes and sizes available for rent too

We did what we knew best... Photos photos till we got hungry.. went to have lunch ...we asked for pizza and the portion sent me straight to sleep... Lol..

we were so tired we couldn't even do our boat cruise anymore so we walked back to our hotel for the food to digest..Chilled for a bit... Went to the pool , enjoyed some inhouse flamenco entertainment and some quiet relaxing time...

walked out for cocktAils to this really nice place called Astral.. 

They indeed had nice cocktails... Although we found it weird that a clown was trying to sell roses and he won't allow us take a photo of/with him... I wonder why!!!

After our cocktails and plenty of chatting we took a taxi back to our base and slept... Mind you it was about midnight and clothe stores and shops were still open! They don't sleep in Marbella!!

Day 3:

Woke up early and had breakfast again :) chilled by the pool and relaxxxed

After chilling, we changed and got ready for the day and headed to the port... Of course we took pictures on our way...

then we headed off to the port and got a boat from Puerto Banus to marbella centre... We had lunch and had some tapas.. Then chilled at gran melia for a bit before taking the local bus to puerto banus... Spain is so beautiful and we had an opportunity to see the history as it was frequented in the 80s by the creme de la creme.. We got to PB in less than 20mins walked around... Wennt to the mall, had a wrap again lol and went to restaurante alcantara.. We had beef entrecôte in pepper sauce with mushroom and vegetables, at this point we were literally "belly full" then we had to try the best ice cream in san pedro of course!  Had some ice cream then we headed back to the hotel...

Day 4 

We got up, had breakfast, got a taxi to marbella bus station which cost just about €12 and took about 10 minutes and waited for the airport bus to take us straight to the airprot for 8.45am... We were favoured because the bus was almost full and if we didnt get that 8.45 we would have definitely missed our flight or had to spend more than 10 times the amount to take a taxi straight to the airport... We departed at exactly 8.48am and arrived at 9.24am

We had someone on our flight who had a very severe nut allergy, so the crew informed everyone of us not to eat anything that has nut on the flight at all... Wow! I thank God for my life o.... Anyway that was it....

Tips

1. Remember to carry along an Adaptor as the socket is different
2. Get your sunscreen whether you are black or not.lol
3. When picking a hotel don't pay for all inclusive if you want to explore cos u'll spend most of ur time out of the hotel...breakfast is ok as that's the most important meal (so they say.lol) :)
4. Try tapas & Mediterranean cuisine at restaurante Alcantara ( best restaurant) See their tripadvisor page for mouth watering spanish food and more!
5. Take a boat ride to marbella centre and enjoy the view
6. Don't take a taxi directly from/to the airport (extortion)
7. When shopping and using your card, always choose to pay in the countries currency...you get better value that way

Hope you learnt a little...Plus if you need a tour guide in Marbella I can hook you up with someone very reliable for a little fee.....Happy Travelling xxx

Dear customers,

• Apply small amounts of high-quality Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil to the roots and scalp of your hair daily.
• Massage the oil into your scalp using your fingertips.
• Leave on scalp overnight. This oil is easily absorbed and will not soil your pillow.
• Use Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil as a Hot Oil Treatment once per week, preferably on weekends. Simply massage generous amounts of Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil into scalp and hair, then cover with plastic cap and go under the dryer for 15-30 minutes.
• To remove oil, thoroughly wash hair with a natural shampoo and conditioner, such as Sunny Isle All Natural Lavender Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo and Conditioner.
• Style and groom hair daily with any Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil All Natural Hair Pomade such as Lavender, Rosemary or Ylang Ylang formula.
• You will see results within two weeks.

Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil for Eyelash and Eyebrow Growth

Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil will help your eyelashes and eyebrows grow thicker and longer, and keep them from breaking. It also helps you grow new eyebrow hair in bare areas that might have been over-tweezed. Massaging a little Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil over the base of your eyelashes before bed prevents thinning and promotes rapid growth, leading to thicker, fuller, longer lashes.

Do not use Sunny Isle scented oils, such as the Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Rosemary Jamaican Black Castor Oil, on your eyelashes as the essential oils used in these products may irritate your eyes. Use ONLY the unscented Jamaican Black Castor Oil such as the Sunny Isle Extra Dark Jamaican Black Castor Oil and the Sunny Isle Regular Jamaican Black Castor Oil on your eyelashes.

How to Use Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil for Eyebrow and Eyelash Hair Growth

• Wash your face with a mild soap, preferably Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil Soap, to remove all traces of makeup, oil and dirt from eyelashes and eyebrows.
• Dip a mascara wand or a cotton swab into Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil, tapping off any excess oil. It is important to apply a thin layer, so use a clean tissue to dab away drips from the wand/cotton swab if necessary.
• Brush the oil evenly through your eyebrows from inner to outer tip. Then use the wand/swab to apply the oil to your eyelashes, just as you would mascara -- from root to tip.
• Leave the oil on overnight and rinse off with a mild soap in the morning before you apply your makeup/moisturizer.

Treating Acne with Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil

Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil treats acne and many other skin problems without drying out the skin -- unlike many other store-bought acne treatments. This drying of the skin slows down its production of sebum and has been linked to causing acne. Unfortunately, drying out the skin actually leads to even more sebum being produced in the future, which forces the skin to become dependent on the acne treatment to stay clear. Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil treatment, however, is able to prevent the skin from drying out, while still reducing the production of sebum.

How to use Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil to Treat Acne

• Place a large pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil.
• Once the water is rapidly boiling, carefully remove it from the stove and place it safely on a sturdy counter.
• Place a towel over the back of your head, covering both head and face, and allow the steam from the water to hit your face. This will open your pores and allow Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil to become a much more effective acne treatment.
• Once this has been completed, rub your face with a washcloth to remove any excess dirt, then put a small amount of the Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil on the cloth. Any one of our Jamaican Black Castor Oils may be used, but we recommend the Ylang Ylang formula, which has a fabulous stimulating effect on the skin. Ylang Ylang essential oil helps to correct the production of sebum (oil) in the body.
• Rub Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil all over your face using circular motions, applying a little extra to problem areas. 
• Let the oil sit for a few minutes so it can be absorbed into the skin, then wash your face with warm water, making sure to remove all the oil.
• Splash your face with cold water to close pores (this is essential for the next step in the acne treatment), then pat dry.
• Apply more of the oil to your face, again using a little extra on problem areas, and let it sit overnight. 
• In the morning, wash your face with a moisturizing soap, preferably Sunny Isle Lavender Jamaican Black Castor Oil Moisturizing Soap, to prevent the drying of skin.
