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...

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...

Atrial Septal Defect

Atrial septal defect (ASD), is a heart condition that can affect kids. Normal Heart Function To understand an ASD, it helps to know how the heart works. The heart has four chambers. The lower chambers of the heart are called the ventricles: a left ventricle and a right ventricle. The upper chambers are the atria and there are two— a left atrium and a right atrium. You may already know that your heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout your body. In a person without a heart defect, blue blood that's low in oxygen flows first to the right atrium, then to the right ventricle, and is then pumped to the lungs to receive oxygen. The red oxygen-rich blood then returns to the left atrium, flows from there into the left ventricle, and heads out to the body through the aorta, a large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the smaller blood vessels in the body. Between the right and left atria is a wall called the septum that...
