Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Alan Jackson Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus Lyrics:
[Chorus:]
Turn you eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will
grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.


O soul are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There's light for a look at the Saviour,
And life more abundant and free:

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion
For more than conqu'rors we are!

[Chorus]

His word shall not fail you He promised;
Believe Him and all will be well.
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

I have been singing the above song all weekend, yet I was hard to apply it. All weekend, I went about worrying about a major project that lies ahead of us.Infact by last evening, I was on the verge of tears and requested my beloved to pray for me to have peace and trust in God.

You see, many times I walk by faith, but sometimes I just want to see and touch so that I can believe. Well this morning as I was pursuing some paperwork, I was waiting to be told to unleash the cash  before getting the document I needed but the gentleman who served me surprised me. He printed for me the document, asked me to go submit it where it is required then come back when I am ready to settle the bill , without a rush. I was so humbled because in my mind I had started to wonder where my provision will come from yet the Lord had gone before me. 

I hopped into the bus on my way to work , humbled and amazed to know that this battle ain't mine,its  for the lord. When I shared  this with Alex, he told me, I am yet to see more  of God's favour and so am praying to God that I may not shrink but that I may face the giants that present themselves before me.

Blessings to you all.

Unconditional love

As I went home last yesterday, I heard the song 'In harms way'  by BeBe Winans, Rhett Lawrence, Margaret Bell-Byars. When listening to music, I want to know the lyrics,what the song is communicating and how it applies in my life. This song reminds me of God's unconditional love, even when I do not deserve it, even when I have given up , even when he knows all He knows about me, he doesn't let go of me. That is just amazing. Undying love you've given to me Seen in me things I would never have seen I don't understand why you care so much, it's all a mystery Time and time again I ask myself What have I done to deserve such wealth The price you paid, I could never repay your generosity Chorus: In wanting to save me In order to save the day Because of love you placed yourself In harm's way It's truly beyond me Left without a word to say What kind of love would place itself In harm's way? What kind of love would place itself In harm...

Weight-Part 2

Once the baby is breastfeeding and starts to wean, the eyes shift from the mother to the child. Common comments ‘ what are you feeding your baby on? They are growing so well. During baby clinics, pressure mounts because your child's weight gain doesn't seem to match that of another or a friend's child. Next time you take the baby for vaccination open your ears and eyes. It’s like people are sizing each other up, or trying to boost their image especially if their baby “seems” to be ahead of others. I know this is a sensitive topic but all am saying is, yes the mother/parents have worked pretty hard to ensure that their baby is growing well and that is ok and we appreciate the good job done, but hey do we stop to think about that other woman/family who is feeling like a failure because as per the society as long as your baby is not growing as well as we expect, the mother( most times) isn't doing a good job? Do we ask ourselves why isn't that child not growing as...

Looking back at where I am today and where the 8-4-4 system had placed me, I thank God that He has a purpose and plan for all of us. At times I wonder whether I will be able to tell my kids that I was never in the top 10 position in class. Most of our parents have told us how they were position 1 in their class and I always wonder who was last? Think about it. I envy today’s young generation. Having being raised in Kericho and Nakuru in my younger days, I didn’t know English too well and at 6 years I was speaking broken English. My first birthday was so memorable and exciting in that I could not say birthday and would welcome my friends and visitors by saying ‘welcome to my passday’. Oh well ,thank God that we catch up quick and I went to Milimani Primary and later Nairobi Primary and my report forms would read “ Sylvia is very playful and can do better if she settled down" or "slight imporvement but can do better". Class 8 came and I scored 432/700, and that was ok...
