Sometimes in life, we come across potholes, obstacles, challenges that seem so overwhelming and threatening to veer us off the path of our vision and goals. We tend to give up and throw in the towel. We lose focus, we are destabilized, we are disoriented, we are confused and ultimately down tool on our dreams.
However, setbacks are part of life. They are meant to serve as checks and balances to see where we have gone wrong. Setbacks help us to re-strategize, re-focus and re-double our efforts in order to move forward. Setbacks are not meant to set us back, they are meant to serve as springboards for re-launch of our dreams and visions.
Anyone who does not experience setbacks in life can never understand or feel the joy of conquest.
Setbacks are necessary, they are important and useful to the realization of our dreams in life. The major thing we have to do is to ensure we 'imbibe' the right attitude. Setbacks can be seen by different people in different ways due to each person's 'frame of reference' comprising experiences, culture, religion, personal opinion and the likes.
Whatever your frame of reference, setbacks can either make or mar your progress in life. You however have the power to decide what you make out of every setback.
The ball is in your court!

THE SUPREME BEING - GOD
Sometimes I imagine where the dead go after they leave this world. Yes, I know as the scriptures has explicitly revealed all that needs to be known concerning the dead. Yet, the loss, the pain, the agony of losing a beloved one is very hard to take. Moreover if the loved one was very close to you.
One thing therefore is certain, we came into this world and we will surely leave this stage after playing out the script God wrote for us or the one we penned down ourselves. I remember when I lost my younger sister some 17 years ago. She was just eight years old...It was very painful coming back from the boarding school on a Sunday and getting to know that she passed on during the previous week. Tears welled up my eyes...I can never forget that moment when my dad called me into his room, opened the Bible and preached a short sermon to me (can't remember a thing he said). It was not easy to take though I was about 12 years old then....
One thing however is certain, I am going to see her again in heaven. Are you doing all you can to get to heaven? There is a life after this life. It's called ETERNITY. Where will you spend your own eternity? What you are enjoying now is just for a very very limited time. This world is coming to an end sooner than you can imagine.
With Jesus, heaven is certain. Will you be there?
