Over time I've discovered there is no absolute finish line for everyone in the race of life. Our tracks, tactics, mentality & stamina are different. The only thing we've in common is the same umpire.

For instance, one person graduates @ age 20 & struggles for another 5 years to get a job, another might graduate @ 25 & get a job immediately. One can marry a virgin & wait for the next decade to 've the blessings of children, another lady probably after having series of abortions in her past, becomes a mother almost immediately after marriage. A fellow becomes MD @ 38 & dies @ 56, another becomes MD @ 55 & lives to 90. What a life!

Life is full of twists, turns, ups & downs & many more surprises & disappointments. Life offers each one of us different opportunities & once an opportunity is lost, it's gone forever except by the grace of God. It is up to each one of us to patiently prepare, wait, recognise & utilise every opportunity. We learn on the way. No one knows it all or has it all. There is a reason why we all don't fall @ the same time. It's so that when one is down, weak & discouraged, the other who is strong, can encourage & lift the other person.

God never promised that the road would be easy but he promised never to leave nor forsake us. Although life is a competition, let us learn to play it fair & go easy on ourselves trusting that God is working it all out for good (even if it doesn't make sense now). I know that there is a time for everything but most importantly that " it will come to pass ". Whatever trials, challenges or down time, this too shall pass & in due course, u'll be up & strong again to lift up those who maybe down around u......NEVER LOSE HOPE...

Wishing you all a pleasant week ahead
