I'm sharing a poem I wrote  five years ago, I was fifteen years old at the time but it seems like love was my favourite topic. A Search For True Love They say true love comes when she least expect it Just stop the worrying because very soon she'd get it This advice she would not take She was impatient and did not want to wait She went searching both near and far But every guy she settled with gave her a scar She got hurt too many times before She could not take any more She cried herself to sleep at nights But little did she know, around the corner was her long awaited knight He had been her friend for many years When he told her 'I love you' she broke down in tears Realizing how stupid she was and how blind Not to know her true love was with her the whole time View the original post here: http://chenellepalmer.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-search-for-true-love.html

I sat on the couch and had mommy sit in between my legs as I did her hair. We sat there laughing talking about different topics and people. I felt so much closer to her, we could discuss different topics and relate with each other on different topics in life. She gave me advice that I will hold dearly to my heart. At that point I was extremely happy she is my mother and I, her daughter. Moments like this make me enjoy the different stages of life. I remember eleven years ago, I would have been the one sitting between her legs getting my hair done but there would be no real conversation except me saying, "ouch" and her hushing me. As we grew older, that little moment got more intimate and it made me look forward to having a daughter.  The best part of your child’s life is not when they are cute and adorable and need you for everything. It is when you’ve watched him/her grow up into an admirable young adult, knowing all your sacrifices weren’t in vain and you ar...

Praying is a way of talking to God,a way of communicating our feelings to him, but most times we are selfish with our prayers. We ask God for what we want, whether it be forgiveness, healing, money or protection and do not pray for others who also need these things. I was guilty of this until one day I prayed for one of my friends who was sick and a bereaved family I did not know, but I knew of the difficult time they were facing. It made me feel great, knowing that at that time prayer was the only way and one of the best ways I could give support and try to help these persons. I just want to encourage you today to remember others in your prayer, especially those who you know are not able to pray for themselves because of their circumstances, non-Christians, bereaved, depressed and the sick. There are many ways to show your love for people, prayer should never be overlooked. Here are some lovely quotes about prayer
