When you’re a young adult entering the dating scene for the first time, dating may be exciting and terrifying. Young adults and the dating world amount to an adventure full of thrills, self-discovery, and the chance to meet someone wonderful with whom to spend the rest of your life. Even though dating could seem like a challenging challenge, it can be far more fun and less demanding if you keep a few crucial ideas in mind. We’ll discuss several important elements of dating for young people in this post to help you get the most out of your love encounters.

Be You

Authenticity is one of the most important qualities of dating. Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not just to win someone over; be genuine. Sincerity attracts others, and when you are sincere, you are more likely to attract those who value you for who you are.

Communication is Key

Any effective partnership must have strong communication. Don’t be scared to communicate your opinions, feelings, and expectations. Actively listening to your partner is crucial. Effective communication helps you and your partner overcome obstacles because it fosters trust and understanding.

Respect Boundaries

In a relationship, respecting each other’s limits is crucial. Making sure that both partners are at ease and eager is always a must because consent is non-negotiable. Respect the feelings and boundaries of others when they say “no” or exhibit discomfort.

Take It Slow

Entering a relationship too quickly might occasionally result in disappointment or misunderstandings. Don’t rush into labeling your relationship; instead, take your time getting to know your possible mate. A solid foundation requires time to lay.

Online Dating

Although it’s a common way to meet new people, online dating has its own set of rules. Protect your personal information by exercising caution. For the initial dates, go out in public and trust your gut. Although important relationships can start online, maintaining your safety should always come first.

Learn from Rejections

Dating entails rejection. It’s alright that not every connection will lead to a committed relationship. Consider rejection as an opportunity to improve instead of obsessing over it. In the future, it might introduce you to someone who is a better fit.

Self-Care

Keep in mind that your health comes first. Don’t forget to look after your bodily and emotional needs. Maintaining a balance between your personal life and your dating life is important because dating may be emotionally draining at times.

Friends and Family

Remember your network of supporters. Your friends and relatives, particularly if they have had some prior dating experience, can offer insightful counsel. When necessary, rely on them for assistance and direction. Young adults and the dating world might not be easy, but with family, it is always possible.

Conclusion

If you approach dating with an open mind, good communication, and respect for yourself and others, it can be an exciting and satisfying process. It’s a period of development, self-discovery, and forging deep bonds. Accept the challenge, be loyal to who you are, and enjoy the journey! Keep in mind that every experience—positive or difficult—contributes to your personal development and the likelihood of finding love.

It feels different being in the position I am in

Imagine a seventy year old just learning to play the violin

Life throws boulders at some of us at times

We are totally unprepared our only weapon is our will to survive

From three meals a day and a roof over my head

To foraging through garbage bins and sharing with stray dogs the comfort of a bus shed

How could this happen to me

Once a top man now I sleep on concrete

And yes people pass and they talk about me

Some laugh and tell their children this is what you must not be

They categorize me as a mad man because life has gotten away from me

They categorize me as a mad man because I sleep with dogs and wake up with fleas

This is my real life I am struggling literally

And maybe I am getting mad because it is affecting me mentally

They did not give me a choice in getting the Covid jab

Two men held me and a lady in blue gave me a stab

I used to be one of them that looked down on people suffering

I used to look down on beggars and scorn people starving

My family was large and business was booming 

In the space of two years a catastrophe and in the bus shed I am now lyming

My associates and family members somehow came out unscathe 

They left me to drown when I thought with their help I would be safe

Fast forward two years and a forgotten investment has borne fruit

I am now at home and a tailor is taking measurements for a new suit

Fifty pounds trimmer and back to three meals a day

The dogs I used to sleep with are around the back at play

A different perspective and now I am a totally different man

How can the rest of us truly fathom what it is to be a homeless man

My home is now a haven for the downtrodden and hapless

I thank God for transforming me and blessing me with the gift of kindness

His Guidance

Jamaica land we love has been known for its strong and powerful legacy of spirituality. This came from our forefathers and it is based on this why we as a people are so spiritual. God is always apart of how we live and it is not something that will leave us any time soon. We all have our journey to take and take it we must.

Prayer is important

My family and I was travelling over the past weekend and everything was going fine. It was a three hour journey and of course we prayed before we left out. We asked that the Lord protect us and give us journeying mercies as we travel. The family asked that the Lord sends his guardian angels before us and pave the way for our journey. This for most people I hope is standard when taking a trip whether they are Christians or not. Little did we know that further up the road we would be in for a rude awakening.

Things can still go wrong

Yes, we had an accident! It was frightening and after seeing that we were fine and the other party was fine we went into the whole thing of who was right or who was wrong. That got us nowhere fast. So what we did was to find solutions which we did. We said our goodbyes to some of our cash and like I said it was a three hour journey and so we continued.

More things can go wrong

About two hours into the journey we saw a police vehicle flew pass us and we thought it was just a passing thing. We were wrong. The police pulled us over and accused us of a traffic violation and at this point my lovely wife decided that we need to turn back and go home. She got mad and blew a gasket! This was too much and it was not worth it. Again we had dialogue and the very insightful officer realized that whatever it was that he thought we had done was not done. His partner saw our distress and told us that our delay might have been for a very good reason.

The destination

We slowly went about our business and we got to our destination. We were happy we continued because we had the best time ever. The place was beautiful and very therapeutic. We ate, drank, and danced too. Furthermore the company was to die for and to think these were people who we did not even know. It was both informative and fun which for me was a perfect combination. The journey was worth it.

Fulfill God’s Purpose

Our journey will not always be smooth but we know were we want to get to. We will get weary with the struggles and we will feel like turning back. Stand fast and stay strong because God is with you. Let us not give into these feelings because what’s waiting for us might be greater than we have ever dreamed. Let me also say we came back home safe and sound and with no problems. Continue your journey.

You expected me to die,

But my heart still beats.

You expected me to cry,

but my tears retreat.

You expected me to feel failure,

That I did.

You thought I would settle there,

But again, I didn’t.

The river in me won’t allow it!

I will continue to flow,

I will roll over your rocky terrain,

Roll through your caves,

run through your pastures,

Seap through your drains,

You cannot stop me!

Your system cannot outmatch me.

I am built like a river.

My destiny is the sea,

And that’s where you will find me.

My success depends on me!

Exercise your faith

I sat in my office one morning with my door half closed. My attention was then drawn to the door. The Holy Spirit started to minister to me about the door and  what’s behind the door. One night I lay in bed relaxing then I looked on the wall and this was what I saw on it. ” Prayer is the Key to heaven but faith unlocks the door.” We need to open the door!

Faith is the key.

Now the scripture says in Hebrews 11 vs 1 that  “Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” We have things in our lives that we hope for, things we’re working towards, things we desire to have, but it’s beyond  the open door and if we don’t move to open the door we will not have it. Open the door ! We pray to the Lord everyday to increase our faith but we do nothing. The Bible also says Faith without works is dead so we have to do something James 2 vs 26.  We have to exercise it.

Use the key!

As to the keys, Matthew 16 vs 19 says that God has given us the Keys to the Kingdom of heaven. So why not use the keys to unlock the doors that are closed in our lives? See the keys are very important.  Prayer and Faith is the Key to the Kingdom of God. It’s also the key to our success, our financial situations and all the problems we faced today. Think about all that is going on in our lives today and how we can face them. We have the keys to unlock every situations by praying and exercising our faith.

 The keys here signifies “Authority” that means God has given us the power to reach for those keys to unlock those doors.  As we go through our daily life, let’s not be afraid to use the keys we’re given. Let us unlock those doors as we strive to reach the Kingdom of God. Don’t be afraid to walk through the door to see what’s beyond. It could be our blessings awaiting us.

One Meal A Day

Is this Omad diet good for you or not? It doesn’t matter how much you want to lose weight not eating for 23 hours is just too much. The thing is Jamaicans love to eat their three meals a day so eating one meal a day could drive them crazy. The “great thing” is after not eating for so long then you eat anything that you want in one meal. Really? Does this actually work? Is this safe for the human body? When you are having this one meal it is said that you should get the  recommended amount of calories for your body structure. Will you be able to get all of this in?

Can everybody do Omad?

The fancy name for the Omad diet is called intermittent fasting. Believe it or not it actually works but it is not recommended by nutritionists. We need to keep in mind that children and adults with underlined health issues should not partake in Omad. If you are suffering from diabetes or some other health issues this diet is not for you. The diet can also cause a spike or a lowering of your blood sugar level. If you are in to this diet to lose wight is is claimed that you can lose from 7 to 11 pounds over 10 weeks. It will take a lot of discipline on your part however especially at the initial stages.

The good and bad of Omad

Omad Diet based on Nourish by webM.D. has stated that there are benefits that can be derived from this diet. They include improvement in your metabolism rate as well as help you to burn fat. It could also help you to lose weight if you eat in the mornings. One must be cognizant of the fact though that this diet could also increase your blood pressure and cholesterol levels and this cannot be good. If you were ever afraid of hunger then this diet could be your test. Can you handle it?

Stay Healthy And Diet

If there is a need for you to lose weight then it is recommended that you speak to your doctor or your nutritionist before you start a particular diet. This is because you need to take a lot into consideration as in the case of the Omad diet. There are also other diets that gives results as well and these include the Paleo, vegan and the low carbs diet along with many others. Staying healthy and with the right weight is always of major importance so let us be careful as we choose our method of dieting.

Let’s do it together

It’s time to continue building the Kingdom of God and we cannot do it individually. We need every gift that God has given us. Ephesian 4 vs 11 speaks about the different gifts that Christ has given for the edifying of the church and even though He encourages training and learning His calling takes priority.

Speak the truth!

Paul talks about the great diversity within the body of Christ in regards to spiritual gifts and the grace that each believer receives. It is the harmony in which we are called and should be manifested through the variety of gifts that are bestowed on each of God’s Children. All are called to grow in the knowledge and Grace of God. We are also called to speak the truth of the glorious gospel in love to one another.

To each is own.

Every leader has a different office and every office is important in building the Kingdom of God. All share the same job which is spreading the word of God. In the body of Christ, every member is important. One person cannot do it by themselves. It’s just like building a dwelling house. You will need all the different type of workmen building the house. The carpenter, steel man, mason, laborer, electrician, plumber, tiler, painter along with others will all be needed. So you see we are builders together for the Kingdom of God!

Do you know your gift?

We are called to do our part with the gifts God has given us. If we do not know what our gift is then we need to seek the Lord for the manifestation of our gifts or our calling. It’s just like natural fruits, we blend them together and we get a very refreshing and tasty drink. So when we pool our gifts together we can tear down the devils army and continue building the Kingdom of God. The family of God is powerful together and not apart.

Being shy is not an option!

Christians are sometimes shy away from the gift because of the lack of motivation or our feeling of insuffiency but we have to remember that when God calls us, He equips us.
So in building the Kingdom let us put every gift together and go out and bring in the lost souls. The harvest is ripe and the laborers are few. If we thrive to do what we’re called to do, by pulling our resources together, we will be amazed of how much we can do. We would be surprised with how much lives we can impact.


It is never a competition!

There must not be any competition between us. Stop watching each other and work together. Competition will only cause division and chaos. Let us be thankful for our great salvation. We should be willing to embrace and fulfil our own unique role in building this kingdom. Let us take up our tools, come together building the Kingdom of God.

Let us start building today!

The song writer says “ I must work the work of him who sent me while it’s day, for when the night is come the time for work will be done away, will you be willing to work for Jesus every time and every day, He’ll reward you when he comes to take his bride away.” Let’s start building!
