THE WORST HAS HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!


"..………..It is safe to say that the worst has happened….


My ponytail just fell off my head and landed right in the middle of the floor as I was strutting back to my desk with my cuppa tea….Funny thing, is that that has been my worst nightmare since I got this dam* ponytail!


In my moment of panic, I spilled the tea on the floor and managed to scathe my hand in the process……….To add insult to injury, whilst I was deliberating about whether to gather what was left of my dignity and sprint to the toilet, or to get some napkins and clean the mess that I made….who had to pick that exact moment to walk past? A fine as* brother…one of the few I've seen since I joined this company…..Talk about Sod's law!.....mmhhh mmmhhh mmmhhhh (Brownie points were taken away from him though when he asked if I was ok - c'mon, do I look ok standing in the middle of the floor with my scanty hair,  bewildered expression, ponytail on the floor and tea on my arms….Smh)  …  …..Anyhoo, that jolted my mind back into action….who cares about the mess on the floor when my reputation is seriously at stake!  I made it to the toilet in record time…Usain Bolt ain't got nothing on me…..


I just made it back to my desk and all I can think about is…..Please please ground, open up and swallow me………my only consolation is that I'm in a different office today so I don't know a lot of people here….but then again, I can't got some of their expressions outta my head! I feel like screaming …….."whatcha looking at"!!!!


…...I'm gonna pop out for Lunch now…..maybe they would have forgotten by the time I get back……..Abracadabra!!!!!!!"


LWKMD!!!!!!!!!!!! I laughed so hard when i saw this email from my dear friend who is so comical that should her day job fail, she knows what to fall back on! Oh dear.. Talk about embarrassment! What women go through to stay with and in the times?! 
Hey after all said and done there ain't no crime in buying your hair if it wont grow!:)


Sweetie i know you're reading this and i just want to say thank you for allowing me share this with the world so they can have some good laughs too! :) 


As for that brother in your office, i suggest you seize the day and block him in the elevator to chat him up, starting the convo in the lines of........."hey about the other day you saw a damsel in distress..............."i leave the rest for your creative and comical imagination! Also for the brownie points, you should give to him, not take out cause he might as well have walked past you laughing or with a serious face and you'd still take off brownie points! 


Love ya to bits hun and it is safe to say that i and my followers on 9jaspititout are solidly behind you should you decide to never step foot in that office where "your plight" occured! lol...


Hugs n Kisses boo

"If you like vex, na you sabi"! That's the literal meaning of Osondi Owendi or rather the meaning i prefer. I love those two words! Lol..

I can imagine Brit is beefing Gaga and Riri who have taken the spotlight
I can imagine Omo sexy is wishing she was the one interviewed by CNN and not Gene baby
I can imagine about 150 million people wished they were the ones who won the 312million dollar lottery and not the guy who did
I can imagine Kel wished she were B at some point, leader of the pack...("say my name" remember?)
I can imagine 20 million girls in Britain wished they were Kate M
I can imagine the 11 contestants who will get kicked outta A.Idol will wish they'd be D Idol.

I can imagine the repubs musta been pissed when D democrat sat on the highest seat of power
I can imagine you wish you'll be me when i win the blog-writers award!!!! http://www.blogwriteraward.com/Toplist.aspx ......hehehe (remember to vote)

Anger

Have you ever been so angry, you feel like smashing your cell phone or a glass on the wall? I have.. I get so angry sometimes i feel like the only possible release i can get is to break something.. But i never do... One day i think i will... I want to know how i'll feel afterwards, you know just like we see in the movies.

Anger is a terrible emotion. Anger has shed blood, caused lifetime strifes, taken nations to war, lost love, jobs and family relationships.. Anger has lost progress and success.. Anger is the enemy. It may be the enemy but its inevitable.. Sometimes justified, other times irrational; whatever the case may be you have to control what you do with the anger, if not the consequences may be damning.
Scripture says "be angry and do not sin, do not let the sun go down on your anger Ephesians 4:26".. Hmm... How does one accomplish that feat? How do we know when to draw the line on anger when your tongue might run ahead of your head and say things which hurt and which you'll later regret ? How do you control the wrong thoughts that go through your head when you're angry? I don't know... At least lets be thankful that "getting angry itself is not a sin".. What is a sin is the product of anger..

Let me take you back to one significant consequence of anger...
- Cain killed Abel-... Genesis 4:4-8.. Cain was angry with God for rejecting his offering and accepting that of his brother! Can someone please tell me why Cain killed Abel since it wasn't Abel who rejected his gift??! Wait.. .He killed Abel out of jealousy! That has to be the only rational explanation.. Jealousy, a passion consuming often times unjustifiable emotion. See what it can cause?! Eternally damning consequences as God cursed Cain to remain a wanderer of the earth. I kinda felt that was a very harsh punishment but hey who are we to question God? And besides Cain was lucky not to have been struck dead instantly for such a heinous crime..

Often times after getting angry and causing hurt we start to feel remorseful and wish we could take it all back.. Sometimes we go a step further to apologize and sometimes we refuse to concede to humility to apologize.. We swallow our humility and rather give into self justification that we are or were right in the circumstance... Judge for yourself which is better, to live with humility or pride?

I leave us with one thought... Get angry, smash a glass, break the table, but as you do all this remember one person.....Cain.....Do not sin.
But if you do sin, God will probably not curse you to be a wanderer, but you've certainly unwoven one thread of righteousness (James 1:20)from the yarn which he is spinning into your life... However we thank Him for his mercy, grace and forgiveness available to ONLY repentant souls..

Food for thought...

God, the world's only professional

I've been procrastinating on this thought for a long time now, but today is the day of action. I was writing about Desire, the dream deferred (click to read), when i got the inspiration to write on this topic. God's many professions... In my mind's eye i was standing on a hilltop towering above the ocean and all i could see before me was a vast expanse of open sea... And then i saw the horizon and i thought 'wow"!! God, who are You?

He:
Formed night and day.......Engineer
Drew the landscape...........Architect
Raised the foundations........Builder
Painted the sky...................Artist
Separated the colors of the seasons........Event planner
Colored the flowers/trees........Florist
He:
Created the animals........
and then,                     
Created you and me.......Creator.
WHO is He?? 


HE IS GOD. The universe's only Professional. The Multitasker of all Multitaskers, The Professional of all Professionals, The Employer of all Employers, The Employee of all Employees.... He was....... He is......... He is to come.......
How do i describe Him to You?
Read Job 40: 7-14

“Brace yourself like a man; 
   I will question you, 
   and you shall answer me.
 8 “Would you discredit my justice? 
   Would you condemn me to justify yourself? 
9 Do you have an arm like God’s, 
   and can your voice thunder like his? 
10 Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, 
   and clothe yourself in honor and majesty. 
11 Unleash the fury of your wrath, 
   look at all who are proud and bring them low, 
12 look at all who are proud and humble them, 
   crush the wicked where they stand. 
13 Bury them all in the dust together; 
   shroud their faces in the grave. 
14 Then I myself will admit to you 
   that your own right hand can save you.

In His words He tells us who He is, A Poet too! ... The Contender of all Contenders.. Alpha and Omega-Beginning and End. He formed every profession and is an expert of all. Even the wars of old were planned, reminds me of Project Management! The treasures of the temple were bought, Procurement/Supply chain; he has a choir in heaven, Musician; He listened to and encouraged Job, Psychologist,... He did many more things! There's no other way to describe God than summing Him up in this one word, He is EVERYTHING!

So love your profession and jobs with the joy that your Father was once that, is and will always be that person you are today!

Lord You Are EVERYTHING!!!
