This Big Heart Of Mine.

So for the past one week I've been feeling like the girl with the largest heart, Yes pls let me praise my self. After all I've done for people, I need it. Enough of the Praises, Well the problem now is that I feel like the more you do for the people, the less they appreciate the things you do.and the more they take advantage of you.
I should have actually started this off as a rant, but ohh well it's all Good. I feel like when people esp friends realise ur the Mrs generous they want to suck you dry.

Example
I have a room mate, who's employment situation has been off and on, fine. Some days she can afford the rent and Other days she can't. That's cool , *We are our brothers keepers*. The part that's kills me now is that, The weather out here is cool and u can sleep with or without a fan, Pls why does she have the air conditioner on in her room at night? You can hardly afford the rent, who is gonna take care of the Electricity bills MOI?

2. I have some cousins visiting who cannot even help me carry anything back with them to Nigeria. Meanwhile when I go, I carry stuff for them, Who says I don't have stuff to carry too ?

3. I have a friend who's asked me to help her do something, OK fine I agreed to help out but pls let me do it in my own time, u can't sit on my neck and then become a thorn in my flesh!!!!


The beautiful thing about all these people, Is that I am sure if the tables were turned they wouldn't do half of what I have done. I really can understand why people do not go out of their way to do things for other people.

The sad part about my rant is that , It hurts when I say no to people, I tell u , Its not cos I am trying to get in their good books or anything, it just that I feel that God has been with me and has answered me every time I've called him. I feel like, If God hears my Cry even when I have fallen off the path, Who am I to say no to my fellow being?

I should actually change this attitude and see what happens?

Don't let the actions of people change you, you reward lies in the hands of a faithful God...
