Aseye

```Laughing at the situation ain't mockery but tranquility.
They told me I was cold hearted because I laughed at that situation...
Rather they were cold hearted to fill my head with worry, bitterness and anxiety.
As though today's worry was gonna take care of tomorrows,
It rather stole the peace of today.
Sometimes, that sad situation just come as a booster pump to your happiness
To tell you to look at that vegetation beyond the banks of that wide river.
Yes!! What did you think he meant by greener pastures?
Because I have realised 'ignorans' ..uh-huh! ignoring the answer is making us drown in the river, forgetting we are closer to our greener pastures!
Yes!! You can't ignore the answer and question the question!
I bet those who encouraged the pampering of the situation just wouldn't tell that to their own problems.
Just as the abundance of the heart floweth through the mouth,
The expression of your face shows how joyful you are.

My name is Aseye
And I refuse to call myself anxious or worry
Because the moment I become these, I unconsciously allow people to treat me as such.
Aseye means "praises" in Ewe.(just to note)
I believe praises mean, 'expressing approval or admiration of something or to someone'.

What would my name be praising then? Is it the fact that I'm alive or for the One who keeps me alive?
Is it for the things I've achieved or the ones whose backs I've rode on to achieve these things?

I praise the MOST High!
The one of whom I cannot die!
The One who's made me a king!
For it was by His stripes I was healed!
I praise Him! Now, come on, I AM HEALTH - look closely at the word "health" - You will the POSITION to HEAL: That's where I am!
I believe I owe it to HIM for the admiration and inspiration I am to others!
I praise HIM!
For with and in HIM, my life took a new dimension! Poosh!
I couldn't ever look at my life and start to frown. NEVER!
I'd be drowned counting my blessings to ever think of that!
I praise Him!
Today, I laugh at the storm,
Because I see it as a drizzle! :)
Today, I have the peace of a river in my soul.
It's a choice to be Aseye not by name but by virtue.

Which of these are you?

SHALOM!```
