Chester Cathedral: A Chronicle of Heritage and Evolution

-
In the bustling heart of Chester, England, amidst the ceaseless rhythm of modern life, there stands a majestic emblem of timelessness and tradition: Chester Cathedral. This architectural masterpiece has stood as a silent witness to the ebb and flow of history, a steadfast sentinel guarding the passage of time and the evolution of human civilization. The origins of Chester Cathedral can be traced back to the Roman occupation of Britain in the 1st century AD. The site likely had an early ecclesiastical structure dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, standing on this site when Britain was still a province of the Roman Empire. Evidence suggests that the Chester Cathedral site was once part of the Roman legion Legio XX Valeria Victrix fortress, dating back to 70 AD, laying the groundwork for the area's future spiritual and cultural significance. Following the collapse of Roman rule in Britain, Chester underwent a transition period as the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings vied for control of the re...

Loved and Understood

-
 How do I explain that I  want to be loved and understood at the same time? For loving  also implies learning to love parts of you they didnt fall for. I want to be loved the way I am and when I show my scars, I want the trials I've been through to be seen along with them . But why does one needs to give up her passion to be loved? Love is just an illusion without compassion, it remains a mystery whether you really  love that person or are you in love with how they make you feel. Loving means much more than that; learning to love whatever they have to offer. Now tell me. If all you want for them is to change, what do you love them for?

God's Timing, Not Mine

-

 And when the wait is over, I will look back and see the marvelous works of my faithful God in my life. I am being tempted and trials are lining up my way, it can be nerve-wracking sometimes but I am instead happy for the temptations and the difficulties in my life. Yes, I am happy knowing the rougher the valleys I have to cross, the bigger and stronger my patience will grow. Now is the season for sowing hence I am doing so with very little strength I possess but my God is a mighty God; He will carry me through it all. The season of reaping shall come along when He said 'its time' and because He has been with me throughout the seasons, I shall reap with joy.  And I am confident enough to say " God's timing, not mine " because Is the Lord ever late?  No, God's never early, never late, but always on time.

Yahweh May Protect ( a tribute to my late friend, Jacob)

-
Image
It was 2018 and i  stayed in North Delhi and met many awesome beings there who changed my life forever. Being there  was  a life-changing lesson for me. It was a God-given opportunity. There I met this astounding person named Jacob at Church through a mutual friend. Well, I've known him for a really long time but we were never friends until we met in Delhi. I'd always thought of him as a schoolmate with a lil bit of attitude yet 2018 is the year that proved me completely wrong. I learned that he was actually the type of person who was always humble and never knew how to mistreat a single soul, not even one. In short, he was far better than who I thought he was.   Muanpuii , Jacob,  Atei ,  Udama,  and I used to hang out after Church, and soon enough, we became joking, laughing and ofc eating partners😂. We were always broke because we ate too much on Sundays but it was worth it. I really admire him because although he made many great friends there, he ...

THE ‘ANSWER' TO YOUR 'WHY'

-
Image
    I believe each person in this world has asked himself or herself 'Why are am I here?'. I am not the most qualified person to answer this question because I too have asked myself several times. But still, I am gonna try answering it for the glory of God :) I want to start off by quoting Bible verses from  Galatians 1: 15: But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him  Romans8: 28: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose. Isn't it fascinating that you are chosen and called by God for His purpose? God is not just a god who is given the status of a god by humans. He is the one who created heaven and earth and all that is on it yet sent His only son to save a sinner like you (us). Yes, the same God who created everything with His word saved you from the darkness by His grace and calls you His own (we all know that grace is a free g...

Life without Apu, 2021

-
Image
 It's almost been a year since you left for your heavenly abode. Are you still watching over me? I would think of you from time to time and the world keeps on reminding me that you are not here anymore. The world has become the loneliest it can be, and my heart goes on searching for you. But is this how the rest of my life is going to be like? I know you are somewhere beautiful you had always dreamed of going, and I am so happy for you. But it's just that life without you is not treating me so well to the point I sometimes question my entire existence. I am barely holding it together for I know my God took you home (to be home with Him)because HE didn't want His angel to suffer anymore. I would tell myself that  God didn't think the world deserves you anymore so, He sent for you.  That way, I'm able to seal my pain with a smile. That is how a year without has been for me. Sounds tragic, right? Long story short, I miss you, Apu.
