I REMEMBER....

Today I have spent some time remembering...
thinking and reflecting on the goodness of the lord..

I remember when I first got married...the first house we got had a very
tiny single bed, hubby and I were only too glad to leave our shared accommodation so we had
no complaints...,

I remember the times when we were so broke and we couldn't even afford to top up our electricity...

I remember when we searched and searched for even the most menial of jobs and all we got was "sorry your application is unsuccessful"....

I remember when doors of opportunities seemed like they had closed on us and it felt like things were never going to get better..

I remember crying when I first realised I was pregnant....how are we going to afford a baby I kept saying to myself..

The list goes on and on...

whatever was a challenge to us then is a thing of the past now...God provided...from a new car, to a luxury house,to choice jobs,to great doors of opportunities,to food on our table and clothes on our bodies, God has not failed us.

 Remembering is a very powerful tool for victory.It brings you to the place of thanksgiving and it reminds you of how great your God is.  It motivates you to stand and face your mountains...
David in 1 Samuel 17:34 remembered how God delivered him from the lion and the bear...so what was an uncircumcised philistine before him...HIS God was able..

Dear child of God,Take some time and remember where God has brought you from and all that he has done, make your boast in the lord let the humble hear and be glad,
.
If he saw you through those challenges, He is still able...He would deliver you from every giant you are facing today...

C'MON JOIN ME......" REMEMBER",

Who is your father?

Who is your father? I remember the first time I travelled to my village without my parents I must have been in primary school and my dearest grandmother of blessed memory insisted my parents brought me over for the weekend. Village life really and truly intrigued me, I loved the simplicity of communal living and how content everyone seemed, food was eaten fresh from the farms, with the large itigidi river providing fresh fish and water, and in the evenings, a dozen children would gather in my granny’s living room to watch a DVD, what was there not to like, for a child living in the city and raised overseas, village life was exciting, refreshing and alluring. That was the first of many visits, the older i got,  my grandmother became the most influential woman in my life, especially as I had lost my mother at age 14. She was wise, inspiring and I picked up my literary prowess from her as she and my mum piqued my interest in books. She would make me write letters to her and...

Sand In my Shoes!!!!

Early mornings!! Zaine dress up, Zem come take your bath,  Zaine this and Zem that!!!  My mornings are generally characterised by routines;  early morning squeals,bargaining,tears,tantrums, the rush to get the entire family's day going, and the million and one things I need to remember and do before I make the dash to catch my bus. Every morning I am running out of the house in a mad dash just so I can make the bus in time, the mornings I do, a certain wave of accomplishment washes over me and the days I don't, oh well, too bad. lol One of the things I really love about being a mum is forming fun routines that our kids love and look forward to and one of which has been my morning exit routine. The kids all come to see me off and I demand from them a kiss and a hug. Couple of weeks ago, as I made my way out in my usual hurried fashion, my little girl insisted on a hug, a kiss on her cheek and nose, plus a high five. As I finally broke a wa...

Are you taking notes?

  Are you taking notes? I am so excited, something is brewing…but I cannot aptly describe it; I know without a shadow of a doubt that something is about to happen. I am so pumped about my future and what God is doing and as I look ahead, I cannot help but reminisce for we cannot truly appreciate how far we have come until we look back. Today I had a flashback to a season of my life where I was overlooked, underrated, and written off. I was that girl with nothing going on for her, I could walk into a room and not be noticed, not because I wasn’t beautiful, attractive or good looking but because when people looked at me in that season, all they could see was what had happened to me. What had happened to me? I had failed and repeated a year in university, I was the assistant class rep that year and I had to be replaced. Oh!  the disgrace and shame I felt, every bit of confidence I had in myself was knocked down. I still remember the silence and hushed tones when s...
