God Never Gives us More Than We can Handle
It’s been awhile since my last post eh? Yeah, 2008 for me is kinda sad. Too many ups and downs, well mostly downs, especially with my love life. Over the past months, I’ve been through a lot, I mean a lot. It even affected my work, my everyday routines, my hobbies, almost everything. Things have happened on my personal life, sad things, that I felt I can’t handle. I’ll admit that I’ve been depressed, bitter, angry and confused as to why those things have happened to me, my love life. But God has reminded me of one phrase that our pastor and my family has been saying, God never gives us more than we can handle.
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. -1 Corinthians 10:13 (New International Version)
I know these problems will come to pass with the help of God, there’s no one I can turn to but Him. Things have happened when me and my girlfriend broke up, things that we thought could make us better persons, make us grow, but I was confused as to why they happen, mostly sad things. I know God has a plan behind all this, as the Bible says, God causes all things to work together for good.
I’m still on track of my plans, I never lose hope that someday we would end up together again. But I feel it’s not yet time. Experiences in life makes us grow, make us more mature and there’s more things I know would make us more better persons. You’re probably confused to what I am saying, my mind is not that stable now-a-days. I just make diversions to not think of those problems always.
New year, new beginning. I have to make myself better first, I want to loose weight, so that might be the first thing I would do to make me a better person. I’m 24 yet I feel there’s so much to learn in life. I would like to thank all those people who are close to me for being part of my life, espeically Daisy for being there to listen to me when I’m down, I’ve never regreted I chose you to be my closest friend whom I can share my ups and downs, thank you fren.
Well, that’s all about my 2008 and I’m now embracing 2009 with wishes of more blessings, health and hapiness.
Sometimes you’ve got to go through the pain, to experience the joy.

Everything happens with a reason. I know behind all that, something good is going to happen. Maybe He allowed it to happen to say something to us, say something to the people around the boy.
We don’t know His plans, but surely something good is in line.
I’m sad this is happening to the boy. All I can do is pray and hope that everything will be okay.

I like the reflective approach but what would you say to a 2 year old toddler who has been imprisoned with his mother and gets beaten by the police in front of his mother to get to confess that she was getting military training to topple the government.
This is happening in Zimbabwe right now, as I write, he is in prison. A two year old toddler! Would you say God has given him what he can handle?
Perhaps. Perhaps the boy will grow up to be something, to lead this country to be what its should be: tolerant, truly democratic and prosperous.
Right now, I am just blind with anger at Him.
Greetings from Zimbabwe, I really did enjoy my visit here, I like thought-provoking stuff.
