Hephzibah's Diary

While driving to church a few weeks ago, I knew that the speed limit was 45mph but I chose to drive way over the speed limit. My excuse was "I do not want to be late to church" (P.S. It's a frivolous excuse because even if I drove slower, I still wouldn't be late to church; I had enough time).  Suddenly, I saw a police car on the side of the road (ahead of me) and I immediately started to slow down to the speed limit of 5 miles above the speed limit so that I was not pulled over or given a ticket. I was listening to the radio while driving back home that same Sunday,  and the radio host shared a similar experience. (It felt like she saw me). She was driving way over the speed limit, spotted a police car, and immediately started to slow down as well. Her son asked her why she did that and she mentioned that she slowed down because she saw the police car. Then her son said, "Why can't you just drive every day like the police are watching" - that word staye

Recently, I posted a quote from Mindset Therapy on my WhatsApp status and that quote sure gathered a lot of reactions and spurred a lot of conversations. The quote says  "When you lose an emotional attachment to someone, you realize how ordinary they are. It's your love and your energy that makes people seem so special" This quote gathered a lot of comments like "A hundred percent ", "I agree", and "So true". It also led to different discussions and instances where it had happened with people. Majorly, the discussions revolved around the different scenarios of how you thought your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend was the best thing (since sliced bread 😂) in life and now that you are probably no longer in love, they seem ordinary and like everyday people. This further supports the above quote that it's the love and energy that you give to people that make them so special. Last week, I was having a discussion with my friend, Yvonne, and we ta

P.S. - This post is me thinking out loud. Feel free to drop a comment if you agree or disagree with this loud thought of mine. Thank you!

I started reading the Bible from cover to cover with my elder sister when I was around 10 years of age. I gave my life to Christ when I started Junior Secondary School, and my elder sister and I planned to read the Bible from the beginning to the end. We would read at least 4 to 5 chapters of the Bible daily and by the end of the year, we would have read from January to December. And we did this for a couple of years. I continued this tradition even after high school and when I started my undergraduate studies. At times, I would read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation for two years just to pace myself.  Currently, I have read the Bible from the beginning to the end several times. However, I have noticed that for the past two years, I have struggled to read my Bible or follow a Bible plan as much as I would have liked or as much as I did in the past. This new year, I have been wondering why I have not been able to read my Bible from Genesis to Revelation yearly or follow a Bible plan,
