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",

My Case Is Different...

Shutting my eyes I can vividly remember every time someone has tried to discourage me from launching out or dreaming big based on someone else's experience or failure... sometimes it has been said unconsciously,without even thinking... The moment you mention your intention and desires,there is always someone who is ready with an example of someone else's story... Who says I have to apply 10 times before I get a visa to a foreign country Who says I have to have a god-father before I get that dream job Who says I have to attend 5 interviews and receive 5 rejections before I get the job Who says I have to wait and wait,fall into wrong hands and then learn from my mistakes before I eventually  find my prince charming.. Who says I have to have connections to get ahead in life... My case is different... I am not a statistic...my case is different The fact that it happened to 4 or 6 people you know doesn't mean it would happen to me my c...

I AM NOT DEAD YET

I am not much of the gardening type as much as I love flowers and pot plants, It takes quite a bit of an effort for me to give the flowers and pot plants in my front yard the attention they deserve... but I must admit they add such beauty and charm to my front yard. lately I have just been too pre-occupied with all that has been happening in my life and around me to even notice that I have plants to feed and nurture.. 2 weeks ago I noticed that they had all withered and the leaves were dry,brittle and falling,especially with the summer.. I sighed in regret..if only I wasn't too consumed with myself maybe my lovely front yard would have been preserved. I gave up,maybe it was too late to salvage the situation. I might just try I said to myself and see what difference it makes.. I set out a couple of days ago to water the plants...I had just a small bowl of water.. and as I went back inside to get more water..I got distracted and never got round to fully watering the...

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...
