OPENED MY EYES: HELP

-

HELP!!!!!
Heyy there! Welcome once again(or hopefully for the first time) to the Opened My Eyes Corner. I hope you had a fantastic week!

Before we talk about today's topic let's talk about the topic itself. I was thinking of what to title this and I thought to ask for help with a title and guess what? HELP was the title I was looking for.

Now on to the substance behind the topic *rubs palms*. Do you remember that story in the Bible of Jesus sleeping while his disciples were panicking as a storm threatened their very lives? Well if you don't know it then you can read it in Mark 4 starting from verse 35.

For those of us who have read or heard it many times, it's not such a big deal. I mean Jesus was sleeping, the storm came, his disciples were screaming for their mummies and then they woke Jesus up and he stilled the storm yeah? Well not quite.

As I read an excerpt from that story today, what caught my eye was that His disciples asked "master don't you care that we are perishing?" And then Jesus arose and rebuked the wind. I had always thought the disciples were asking for help by saying that but today I saw differently.

Look at what happened after Jesus stilled the storm. They were astonished and asked what manner of man He was that the wind and sea obey Him. It hit me, their statement about caring if they perished was not a call for help but a reprimand(for want of a better word). It was like "Jesus we are going to die and you are sleeping, what is wrong with you sir?". They had no expectation of a solution of that nature from Jesus. They did not know who He really was at the time.

Where am I going? Well many of us are like that. We have Jesus in our boats but do not know who He truly is and what He is capable of. We call to Him in trouble but do not really have faith that He can solve our problems. We MUST have faith completely in Jesus not just so He can still our storms but so we never get worked up in the first place. I hope your eyes have been opened today.

Till next time, enjoy God's presence. Thanks for reading. Shalom

LIFE AS IT IS- VOWS

Vow's When he approached home, he was full of remorse. All he felt within him was sadness. And apologies, all he had constructed on his way back home. He was going to start with the gift he had bought and then go down on his knees. He would plead until she forgave him and this time he promised himself, this time things would be alright. He opened the door with care. Moving quietly, not doing anything that would disturb her. When he entered, it was silent. Their house had never been silent. It was either she was cooking while humming to herself or listening to her favorite artists. Songs of Lana Del Rey and Halsey. Most times she would sing along and one couldn't help but feel the longing in her voice. Those times, he had felt sobered. Not knowing how to help, not matter how much he had tried. This time it was not what he expected, and even though he didn't want to admit it to himself, it felt peaceful. Once upon a time, their life had been like a fairy tale. N...

Transmission system Transmission System Transmission system is used in motor vehicles to supply the output of the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels. The transmission reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process.

FASHION TABLE WITH STEPHANIE: HOW TO TAKE ACCURATE BASIC MEASUREMENTS

 HOW TO TAKE ACCURATE BASIC MEASUREMENTS  So last week when talking on how to get the perfect fit, the first thing on our list was "taking accurate measurements". Being the nice and helpful person I am, I've taken the time out to list the basic measurements we need for a simple dress and how to take these measurements accurately. Ideally, you should be measured wearing only your undergarments.  However, a close-fitting clothing will be fine.  Do NOT measure yourself or a client that's wearing jeans, sweats, or other bulky clothing.  It DOES make a difference fam. The body is made of soft tissue, so it can be a bit difficult to know exactly how tight to pull the tape around the body. The tape should be a bit snug, but not tight - it should not "dig in" or make an indentation in the body.  It should not be loose, either!  Just wrap the tape around the area of the body being measured and hold it in place.  You should be able to put a finger behind th...
