HENRIQUETTA

We have often heard that if we want to be wise, we should read the book of proverbs. Have you read this book of the bible, or do you still find it puzzling? Growing up, I learned that experts analyze a man's entire life using a bell curve ' n '. Meaning that there would be a time where you have in abundance, and the time it all begins to diminish. In economics, we called the highest part the boom, and in crypto trading, the lowest part of the trough is called the dip. Get it? Now that you get the picture I am trying to paint, let us go a little deeper. I would ask myself confusing questions like why can't there be a continuous progression? It's either you had a lot then go broke at the later part of your life, or struggle throughout productive years of your life and enjoy the fruits for a short period. so there is always going to be a dip!

Ladies and gentlemen, it was still in the same year, just a couple of months after, I was faced with that rock and your sister came falling effortlessly.

Honestly, I’m beginning to understand why Apostle Paul kept reiterating that we need the Holy Spirit’s help to become better humans. Its been proven again and again that without His counsel and discernment, our flesh will constantly lead us in foolishness.

I was raised in Assemblies of God, call them the unrefined penticostals. Here, messages were more about your neighbour than it should be for you. Growing up, when people backslide or rebel against God and the church community, the rest of us in would scorn, judge, and conclude that they weren't strong believers in the first place. When it was time to change because we had seen all that there is, we moved to a more refined church. The word is preached as it is here, but we all often wonder why the seats are empty.
