There must be truth to Genesis 6:3 for even medical science believes in the natural our human body can live up to 120yrs.
Its also evident in the Jewish blessing, in Deuteronomy, to live up to 120 yrs, the verse which Jews use to bless, and speak it out in faith.
To date, the world's longest lively person or in record lived up to 122 and if you doubt it, there are more than 44'000 centenarians in Japan.
Which means a human can live up to about 120 yrs of age, but most people only live to about 80 or 90 and consider it good enough.
Why???!?
Don't settle for 79, 80.. With Long Life, GOD himself says HE WILL satisfy You!
Therefore do not accept it when a doctor who means well and says so and so has a number of months to live, only god has the final say not doctors.
My father died when he was only in his 40's... I wish i didn't believe a word when we were told to be prepared for the worst...
Being friendly comes with a price, i thought it'd be cool to be mates with the bartender, you'd get priority and all right? And also he seemed like a decent guy so when he asked me for my no, i gave without much hesitation.
Big Mistake! My phone kept ringing and ringing and ringing thru the week... I thought ignoring calls or texts is a sure fire sign to express i'm not interested but Noooo.
So he called again right, i answered the 4th time he called today and agreed to meet for dinner, since i was round the corner and could do with some company for din din and found out sth completely ridiculous about him....
Dude's only like 21!!! No shit!
Hiding my embarrassment, i thought I'd just go for honesty and he was flabbergasted when i told him my age.. 'I'm like 'yeah i get this all the time', not sure if its a good thing.
Anyway, dinner went well, he already paid for dinner when i got out of the restroom, i felt obliged to stay for a bit, would be rude to just leave abruptly so, i talked bout the movie I've watched and went on and on about it how funny it was and the next thing, i know, dude gets ticks to watch 'Haunted House' and asked me if I'll watch it with him, I should have declined and say No, but instead i said 'sure! Bad decision Mel!
We had time to kill and this is when shit gets uncomfortable, and weird, he put his arms round my neck while walking... Maybe its just me but I'm not used to getting too close to a person I've just met and saw a CD/ DVD shop from the corner of my eye and thought it be wise to go in before he gets too 'comfortable', without making the arm thing a big deal out of it and i can just walk around, there were earphones for sale and was gonna buy to keep a spare, had i known he'd pay for this too, i would have gotten the expensive Dre beats, Ive been meaning to get, just saying...
So the movie starts, and dude gets annoyingly close, holding my hands, staring at my face, felt so weird so i excused myself halfway thru the movie saying i have to go and apologised, not sure why i should even apologise.. He followed me... Ughh!
He apologised, and went on bout how he fall for me when he saw me and that he likes me very much and all that bull.... Well anyway I ended it, firmly saying we can't be friends no more and got on the bus feeling utterly disgusted!
I'd never go on pity dates ever again or dates in general or maybe I've closed my heart to love. Either-way, I know I'm old school but that's just how i roll... :-X
A broken heart gotta have to be the worst kind of pain ever.
He had the nerve to not just cheat on her, even gambled away his money and the audacity to get someone to call her and ask for a ransom and disappeared, like /%@*-% you have a caring wife who loves you and respects you and would have forgiven you and you stuff it up big time!
Oh how love is handsome and kind, sweet as flower when first it's new but then love grows old and waxes cold and fades away like the morning dew, must i go bound while you go free. Must i love a man who doesn't love me, as to love a man who'd break my heart.
Sometimes life has a way of working things out on its own and sometimes things just never go as we planned it to be. I thought of Biblical Joseph, his life story and thought to myself, had it not been for the betrayal, Joseph would not have ended up in Egypt.
Had it not been for potiphar's wife, Joseph would not have been put into the dungeon, had he not interpreted the butler's dream, he would not have been placed in front of Pharaoh. Had he not interpret the Pharaoh's dream, he would not have been able to save his family who thought he was dead during the famine.
He grew in wisdom thru the adversity he encountered. He learnt valuable lessons from his humble beginnings that would later help him to be a good steward.
We'll never know God's way of things, and how God could use all those steps that one would despise to led Joseph to his promotion.
What do you think was the secret to Joseph's success story?
I believe it's got something to do with the presence of the lord and despite the difficulties he faced, he never gave up. He never lost faith, he never complained or murmured.
"The lord was with Joseph, he became a successful man".
The lord is with you too and you are blessed with unprecedented favour because the lord who was with Joseph is with you
