👉 *DONT WORRY YOUR TAILOR IS AT WORK*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last week I went to my tailor's and met a gentleman I later found out was 74, who was there to repair the tailor's generator. While talking he said that being at the tailor's reminded him of an incident when he was 3 or 4. His mother bought a beautiful piece of fabric and told him she was going to get it made into a lovely outfit for him. Now I don't know the specifics but one day afterwards he went to the tailor's and found the fabric cut into several pieces. He ran home to tell his mother that the fabric had been destroyed, crying along the way. But his mother gently explained the process of dress-making to him, saying something along the lines of, *for you to get that outfit you want, it has to first be cut into pieces and then sown together to become whole again*.

By the time the gentleman finished speaking I knew I had received a life lesson. Sometimes you pray to God for Him to make something of your life. But when you look at that life it seems like everything is in pieces, that it is a mess because things seem all over the place; nothing seems to make sense; nothing seems to be coming together. 

But like a tailor, God has cut the fabric of your life into many pieces. And while you experience this disjointed feeling, He is actually putting the pieces together in the proper way, not necessarily the way you thought of, to make a beautiful outfit, one far better than you ever imagined.

Wherever you currently find yourself in the tailoring process, my counsel to you is *to hold on. GOD has not finished with you yet. He is at work, working towards making you whole again, and more beautiful than you can ever imagine* 

If, like the infant version of the elderly gentleman, *you feel the urge to cry, follow his example and run into the arms of the One who loves you above all others, and let HIM lovingly reassure you that all is well and going according to HIS ultimate plan !!!!!!! *Life Goes On........*

*HE BEAUTIFUL TRANSITION.

Written by: ChiGod.* 

Mum and Dad walked into my room, smiling. They enjoyed a peaceful marriage - the one God gives you when you're patient. Love lives here!

I had always wanted a paradise kind of home too not until I met Dave.

Dave had everything I needed in a man. From his beauty to the calm nature he possessed; I couldn't ask for more.

It all started with the usual "hi-hello" then to calls at late nights and then, visiting each other.

I wanted to 'belong'. Not having a boyfriend among my peers made me odd and archaic (as they would always say).

Things were going so fast and I enjoyed it. His loving nature swept me off my feet and his smile was disarming not until that night.

I had gone to visit him as we always did. I was about leaving when he pulled me close and planted a kiss on my chubby cheeks. It was like the fire within us got sparkled. One thing led to another and we had sex.

That night changed everything and soon, I realized I was in a dilemma. I had to keep doing it with him on other nights. I couldn't stand the feeling of breaking up and not having him around.

I lost my beautiful self in this process and my life went down in the twinkle of an eye.

****

On a cold night, I walked down the street tired. A force kept pulling me and soon, I found myself in a Church.

There and then, I accepted a walk with the Holy Spirit.

The transition was beautiful as I learned to say "NO" to the things I needed to and "YES" when need be. I broke up with him and yet I was strong and standing.

Here are some lessons that helped me overcome:

- Never go into a relationship because you are lonely but when you are ready to give it all it takes in marriage.

- Don't awaken love until it pleases.

- Avoid 'touch-touch'. Romance, kissing, smooching, intense hugging and all must not be done outside marriage.

- To avoid unnecessary heartbreaks, think before you act. Let your head lead you not your heart.

- Trust God and be intentional about your walk with Him. Your heart and emotions might fail you - depend solely on Him. Obey Him 'blindly'.
