You must be ready to ‘metamorphose’ or change to remain relevant. I will use a simple lesson from the 4-staged life cycle of a butterfly to explain. First the eggs, the Larve (caterpillar), the pupa (Chrysalis) and then the full grown butterfly. Scene one: The eggs are laid. This marks the beginning of life. Life in the egg can be truncated if a kid unknowingly steps on the eggs.   Babies are born helpless and clueless. Deliberate nurturing and grooming sets them on the path of growth. Appreciate every ‘care giver’ you have had in the past. Scene Two: The caterpillar crawls out hungrily from the egg and spends its life time eating. In the life of a woman, this stage depicts the phase of life when you consciously ‘absorb’ all that you can. Add to yourself. Acquire skills. Increase in knowledge. Pursue personal development.

Buttons

They serve as connectors. They bridge gaps. Buttons when pressed send signals that make a device respond as desired.   Imagine a TV remote without buttons. Technology keeps advancing and we may soon have touch screen or ‘voice’ remote controls. Imagine your shirts without buttons.

Times & Seasons

Just before mid year in Nigeria, West Africa, an array of beautiful colours on roadside makeshift tables is a common sight in major cities as the rains set in. From bright yellow bananas to green avocado pears, water melons and cucumbers to lush fleshy golden mangoes, hard, brown 3-eyed c oconuts 'carrying water from heaven', to prickly pine apples, and what have you! The array of colours remind me of rainbows. It reminds me of God's faithfulness and covenant keeping nature. He sends everything in its season giving human beings all over the world fruits to nourish their mortal bodies. First He sends the rains to the soils and the trees bloom with colours. Most fruits are eaten raw as they come already 'cooked' by the Creator. And guess what? He embeds seed(s) inside each fruit that there may be continuity. He gives you the fruit for today and the seed for tomorrow. Some of the seeds like grass are able to thrive once they come in contac...
