The Challenge of Long-Distance Relationships

More and more young couples are struggling with launching two separate careers at the same time that they are launching a relationship or a marriage together. Having spent endless hours with each other in college, grad school or during a first job, they feel ready to commit to each other. Having focused time and intent on a career-in-the-making, they feel equally committed to their vocations. Often enough, the first rung of the ladder at their respective careers is in different cities. So,being Generation Yers — modern, forward thinking, and ambitious — they decide that a few years of distance won’t hurt. After all, they are meant for each other. They are meant for their jobs. And they are meant to have both.
Maybe.

LOL!, It's not what you think... Potato has female legs

HIS picture left a young farmer a little flustered as he was left with a bit of a handful.

The farmer pulled up a hot potato

This farmer pulled more than he bargained for when he harvested this incredibly raunchy sweet potato.
You definitely won’t have mash on the mind when you see the HOT POTATO – because it looks just like a sexy lady bending over.
Potato farmer Ben Fletch pulled it out of the ground at his farm in Kent last week and couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the frisky tatty.
Ben said: “It was hilarious! Obviously it looks like a lady bending over.

This potato really was sweet

Pastor Adeboye Of RCCG Makes 11 Prophesies For 2016

Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God has released prophecies for the year 2016.
A newsletter by Liveway Radio contained 11 predictions and revelations by the renowned man of God, presented in three groups.
Read them below:
1. Prophecies for individuals
– Some families will trace the beginning of their generational blessings to this year.
– Some will obtain help from unexpected sources.
– Grateful hearts will have more causes to be grateful.
– For many, the pendulum of life will generally be on the upward swing.
– A chosen few will receive blessings so large they can hardly contain them.
2. Prophecies for Nigeria
– Things are likely to get tougher before they get better, but things will get better before the end of this year.
– What He started last year He will finish this year, provided we don’t rejoice too soon.
3. International prophecies
– Natural disasters, floods, fires, earthquakes are likely to get progressively worse, until governments realize that these are part of Divine Judgements against those who pass ungodly laws.
– If a government will repent of disdaining Christ and His Church, He will help them win the fight against terrorism.
– A major war will be averted this year.
– A new sexually transmitted disease will surface this year.
This prophesies sound more neutral as compared to the ones by another prominent spiritual leader Apostle Johnson Suleiman of the Omega Fire Ministries. In his seven revelations, the cleric said the war between the USA and Russia is coming, a bombing may happen in Delta state, a Nigerian governor might die in 2016 and more.

Sign of True Love in a Relationship

 

What is true love?

True love, ironically, can’t be defined.

It’s the kind of love many of us chase after, but few truly find or realize it until it’s too late. So what is true love really?

True love is the kind of love and affection you have for someone that isn’t bound by the laws of human behavior. Human behavior is simple to understand. When someone hurts you, you get angry with them. When someone gets lucky or gets a better job, you get jealous of them. And when someone shatters your ego or humiliates you, you want your revenge. This is human behavior, because these traits are engrained within us.

But when you experience true love with someone, your primal instincts and behavior change only towards this person. True love transcends typical human behavior. It makes you a better human being towards a special someone

The 12 signs of true love in a perfect romance

True love may be hard to define, but the signs to read true love can be clearly seen in every perfect loving relationship.

If you’re in a relationship and want to know if you’re experiencing the purest form of love, use these 12 signs of true love to find out for yourself.

1 Give and take in love. You give to the relationship wholeheartedly, without any desire or expectations of getting something back in return from your partner to justify your actions.

2 Pure happiness. Just watching this special person smile or laugh out loud fills you with intense happiness, even if you’re suffering or having a hard day.

3 Pain and anger. You get terribly hurt when your lover upsets you, but their actions never anger you. You may get annoyed or frustrated now and then momentarily, but you just can’t stay mad at them for long because staying mad or giving them the silent treatment hurts you more.

4 Sacrifices. You make sacrifices for their happiness or wellbeing, even if they may never realize it.

5 The right effort. You go to great lengths and make an effort to improve the relationship, and play a conscious part in trying to please your partner and make them feel loved and special.

6 You can’t ever hurt them. When you’re truly in love with someone, you can’t even imagine hurting them, emotionally or physically. Payback is a strong human instinct, but true love makes you completely selfless.

7 You keep your promises. When you make a promise to them, you stick to your word even if this person will never find out if you broke their promise. When you experience true love, your moral conscience becomes very strong when it comes to this one special person.

8 We. In a perfect relationship, it’s good to have your own space to grow as individuals. But at the same time, if you truly love your partner, you’d see them as a part of your life. When you think of your future, you can’t help but see them by your side.

9 You share their burden. And you do that even if you don’t really have to. You can’t bear to see this special someone suffering. If they’re dealing with some issue, you’re always willing to offer them a helping hand even when you have your own difficulties to look into.

10 Pride and jealousy. You beam with pride when they achieve something, even if it’s the same thing you failed at. You may get jealous of a friend who outdid you, but when you love someone, jealousy never enters the picture.

11 Suffering. You’d be willing to suffer, just to see them happy.

12 Their perspective. Everything you do, you keep your lover in mind and think from their perspective, be it about planning a surprise party or hanging out with your own friends after work. You don’t ever want to hurt your lover, so you always think from their point of view before making any decision that involves them in any way.

Are you experiencing true love?

If you’re in a relationship and aren’t experiencing these true love signs, don’t fret. Perhaps, your relationship hasn’t reached the state of emotional maturity that surpasses physical attraction or the stage of infatuation.

Take your time and test the waters. You can’t fall in love with someone by forcing yourself into the relationship. If it’s not working out, try to understand each other better. And if nothing you do can bring happiness back into love, perhaps both of you would be better off dating other people.

But at the same time, if both of you are already happy in the relationship, don’t try to change anything about it. Sometimes, selfless and unconditional love takes time to materialize. Remember, you can’t push yourself into the next stage in love unless both of you are ready for it.

As long as your lover and you are happy and understand each other, you’re already experiencing the perfect kind of love!

Good Luck,
