Dear Diary,
I am sorry i have abandoned you for so long.i have not kept my promise of being a true companion and friend.the empty pages are proof of my infidelity.i have cheated on you with jane, mary,solomon,joseph,keisha,ruth the list is endless.
To my despair i have again come to the same conclusion,you are my only true friend.
You are there even when i haven't been the best of friends,you take all my crap,you don't tell on me,you are steadfast and never change.
You know all my secrets and let me bleed through my pen on your pages.Your there when am happy and sad.
The best listener ever,only you let me be what i want to be when i want to be it.
You never judge me.how i wish all people were like you!!the world surely would be a better place.Forgive me and i promise to stay true to you forever.
Yours Faithfully

Daily Devotional April 19th
Be unceasing in prayer.
— 1 Thessalonians 5:17
We can pray anytime, anywhere. Our instructions are to “pray at all times, on every occasion, in every season” and to “be unceasing in prayer,” but we know that we cannot spend all day long in a corner talking and listening to God. If we did, we could not live our lives.
Prayer needs to be like breathing—regular, easy—and we need to just pray our way through life as part of the way we live. In fact, just as our physical lives are sustained by breathing, our spiritual lives should be maintained by praying. We can pray out loud or we can pray silently. We can pray sitting down, standing up, or walking. We can talk and listen to God while we are moving or while we are being still. We can pray while we are shopping, waiting for an appointment, participating in a business meeting, doing household chores, driving, or taking a shower. We can pray things like, “Thank You, Lord, for everything You’re doing,” or “God, I need You to help me,” or “Oh, Jesus, help that lady over there who looks so sad.” Actually, this approach to prayer is God’s will. Satan wants us to procrastinate, hoping we will forget to pray. I encourage you to pray right away when something comes to your heart. This will help you stay close to God all day.
God Bless!!

Choosing Friends!!
Hey look what i found,this is me sharing!!
The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don't help you climb will want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don't increase you will eventually decrease you.
Consider this:
Never receive counsel from unproductive people. Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how. Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person. Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere.
With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it. Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life. Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships. If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.
"A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses."
The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate - for the good and the bad.
Note: Be not mistaken. This is applicable to family as well as friends. Yes...do love, appreciate and be thankful for your family, for they will always be your family no matter what. Just know that they are human first and though they are family to you, they may be a friend to someone else and will fit somewhere in the criteria above.
"In Prosperity Our Friends Know Us. In Adversity We Know Our friends."
"Never make someone a priority when you are only an option for them."
"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude..".. .................. ...
