My Life

I have always loved "The Promise" by the Martins. Below are the lyrics to this beautiful&deep song. I never said that I would give you silver or gold Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold But I did say you'd never walk thru this world alone And I did say don't make this world your home I never said that fear wouldn't find you in the night Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight But I did say I'd be right there by your side And I did say I'll always help you fight 'Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep My grace will be sufficient in your time of need My love will be the anchor that you can hold on to This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool But I did say like me you'll surely be despised And I did say My ways confound the wise...

Today am thankful. I am having a lovely week and in all I am thankful. Am thankful to God for the joy he Has given me,nothing big is happening but there is this Joy in my heart . I have been at work full time since last week and have really enjoyed my alone time at SAS Impressions. There were days I would dread the quietness but now I am ok because I have seen God speak to my heart in amazing ways. This morning as I was doing some rearrangements on the display items, a thought struck me on how we can’t out give God. I know in life we hustle a lot. At times you may be caught up in how you do not have until you actually do not give or share the little you may have. We have heard many say, try God, you can never out give Him or be disappointed,even world leaders know this principal.Give and it shall come back to you. Release what is in your hand to create room for more. I am loving that principal in our lives. It is such a joy to give and may the Lord help us to keep up with thi...

This morning I want to declare that  I love God and am amazed at His great love for us. My heart's cry is to feel His love more and more. I want to know this God who gave up His one and only son for me to have life and have it more abundantly. John 3:16 " For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"...such great love for me . Yesterday in church, we studied Jonah 3 and I was so captivated with the fact that God..had mercy on Jonah , asked the fish to vomit him to dry land (that was grace..he could have been vomited back to the waters and asked to find his way to dry land...just a thought) and God's word came upon him a second time.He gave him a chance to go to Nineveh and warn them about the looming punishment.  Once they heard what God had said, the people and their King repented and God had compassion and forgave them. .BUT GOD ...I can't explain how B ut    changes th...

I am so amazed at how God works . Really, I read Nick Vujicic's story below from Intouch Magazine and it spoke so deeply to my heart. I can identify with him when he thought, what is the purpose of living, bargaining with God to make his limbs grow one at a time..God has forgotten me, yet  he can now testify that God had a good, greater and bigger plan for Nick.  I like that he says , he has a pair of shoes in his closet, isnt that great faith and hope. Yet he says he cant sit putt and just wait for the day because that will be a distraction for him.  His story, his faith and trust in God, even in his current circumstance is amazing. Born for a Purpose Source: Intouch Ministries He once thought he had no future, but today Nick Vujicic’s passion is to convince as many people as he can that their lives matter to God By Erin Gieschen Nick Vujicic was okay with having no arms or legs—until he started to think about his future. When he was ten years old, h...

Baby gal has grown up. Actually , she has repeated enough times that she is not a baby and that she is a big sister. Which I totally agree with her. This morning, as we dropped her to school, her teachers said, she may become a "politician" as she is able to cunningly mobilise 5 year olds  to listen to her and fight among themselves. Well, we may have to train her  to use her leadership skills positively with time. But we admire her boldness, confidence. I am amazed at how much she loves doing her homework, without much supervision.When am running late some evenings, I call home ask if she has homework, she says yes, she removes her book, does the work and waits for us to get home to see. She would rather write and colour than eat. She does her homework very fast and I continue to pray that she keeps the pace..think she is an opposite of what I was in school, I didn't like school to much. She loves dresses. But she is clear that she loves her home dresses and not th...

It is strange, or so I think. I thought that I was off the tears lane if I may call it but the past few days, I have cried and cried. My beloved's statement sums it up..yesterday, he did not want to look at me while we talked..because he said these days I cry alot and anywhere and he needed assurance that I shall not cry as we spoke. After I promised not to cry, I asked him hard questions about God and I asked him to pray for me . Just having him listen to me means so much. I admitted to him that God has really taken us through a very painful process. It has been 4 months since Jaden left us and I still ask God why and ask him to give him back to us imagine...I ask God to speak to me and tell me why Jaden? Is it about me? Am I stiff necked or what is it He wants me to see and learn through this. A mum this morning asked me' when shall this pain of losing our babies cease?"I responded by telling her I have been all tears and I have no answer as to when but am glad God is ...

I was reading In Touch Ministries website ( http://www.intouch.org ) and the below devotion spoke to me heart. :What do you do when you think Jesus has slept in your difficult circumstances" Thank God He is in the boat with me, and then look at issues through the eyes of hope and trust" . Again those words recur at the end all that matters is Faith, Hope and Love . Devotion:Hope The Anchor Of The Soul Many people in the world—maybe even you—are facing terrible storms in their lives: broken homes, joblessness, loneliness, loss, world crises. These things slash at the very fabric of our hope in Christ. It may even seem as though we are lost, adrift at sea in a small boat during a hurricane. How on earth will we be able to reach the shore safely? The disciples faced this fear as well. While they were crossing a lake in their small ship, the weather took a frightening turn for the worse, endangering the vessel and, the men assumed, their very lives. In despera...

Today,I am feeling low. Really started the day at work with this hollow feeling within me. A lady walked in and asked how the babies are and I have never gathered the guts to tell her that we lost Jaden 125days ago. I have watched a clip on this couple Ron and Nan Deal a few times and on this day, I have re-watched it. When they share their story,3 years after Connor passed on, I can identify with their emotions. It consoles my heart that the dad ,Ron still counts the days many days after Connor went to be with the Lord.You can watch it on. http://youtu.be/8xpDRqZDKKs Below is what Ron blogged about their journey as at February 2011 Feb 17, 2011 It’s been 730 days since Connor was taken from this earth. It’s still hard to believe. Some days I wake up thinking it was just a nightmare. Words cannot express how much we miss him and only faith in the Ruler over death gives us hope that we will see him again. I must confess that for the first year and a half after Con’s death, I...

Verse:         Joel 2:21 'Don't be afraid, my people. Be glad now and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things.' - We can make the choice between fearing or rejoicing. - Things may not always go right. - But we are always encouraged to trust in HIS faithfulness. - So fear not - for the Lord will do great things. PRAYER:  Lord, I rejoice in the knowledge that You are always faithful and I know that You will do great things in my situation. Amen . Have a wonderful Wednesday.

A friend of mine Christine has been a voice used by God to talk to my heart. We have chatted severally on facebook, I have sent her appeals on heart babies fundraisers and just chatted about life. A few weeks ago , she asked that she shares my story with other mums and she believes God has a higher calling for me. I tried to resist but it must have been in her heart. She believes I am courageous yet I wonder whether I am. Why I say so is because of the numerous times, I have shared in my blog my battles with trusting and having faith again that God will bless us with a healthy baby after losing baby J. I love God and know that He loves us today even more, even with our struggles and hurts. Sunday was four months since Jaden rested, and I cried buckets from morning to evening. But one thing I ws thankful for is that my beloved, allowed me to be. He did not tell me to stop or get uncomfortable. He just held me when he could and allowed me to cry. He only encouraged me to drink more wat...
