THE OFF DAY

Today is one of those days when I just feel like staying in bed all day and doing nothing
I feel like closing my eyes and willing all my struggles and challenges away
I don't want to be strong today..
I don't want to be inspired,encouraged or motivated
I just want to stay put and pretend that life was a fairy tale

Yes...I know what you are thinking...
were you not talking faith the other day
and sounding so strong and mighty...
Yes I know.....

Truth is....I would not always feel like a victor every day..
but it doesn't change the fact that I am.
Some days may feel harder and more daunting than some
but am going to brace up..draw strength from the saviour and face IT
I may not feel all happy and motivated,but the joy of the lord which is not dependent
on my mood,feeling or circumstance would add a spring to my steps.
I may feel like running away and not facing the world,
but HE would carry me when I can't
carry on..His strength is perfect.

So....instead of letting my feelings get the best of me..
I would rather choose to encourage myself in the lord.
I would kick those sheets off me and get on my feet..
I would speak over myself.......
C'mon Child...you have come too far to give up now..
You would finish strong,
you would fulfill your destiny and purpose.
C'mon Child....Be strong,Hold on..everything would work together for good
C'mon.....every word God has spoken concerning you would come to pass
You are the head and not the tail,made for signs,wonders and greatness
A king is inside you..you are an answer to the worlds problems...
A victor,A winner,An overcomer....

My my my...I feel strengthened already...my praise is back,my faith is stirred
not giving up,not today..not just yet...

anybody feeling encouraged!

1 sam 30:6KJV
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

YOu may not always feel courageous but you've got to get up and face life even if you have to face it afraid. God bless you my dear girl. You are truly an inspiration and I love your honesty, it's very refreshing and it goes to prove that indeed it is in God alone that we live, move and have our being.

Really nice.... I can count a couple of times recently I'd have really loved to have something like this. I'm going to print this and paste somewhere so I can read it again.

True!!! There is nothing like knowing that you have to encourage yourself and be self motivated, otherwise you'll hardly get anything done

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 case is

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

THANKSGIVING..

I have never had to struggle for want of what to write but I have literally spent the past minutes just staring at my screen.... where do I start from is the issue at hand How do I compress the faithfulness of GOD to me in just a post...hmmmm.. I turn 28 today..yet it seems I have been here longer.. I marvel at the quality and the richness of my life.. The wealth of experience and all that God has invested in me... For all his many blessings,For his favour and his Presence  Lord for all these and more..I say thank you I woke up today with gratitude,with a heart full of praise...God has been Good to me.. I take a walk down memory lane and I go back 15 years  to a time when I first accepted Jesus. What I am most grateful for is this decision I made to follow hard after JESUS A lot of times I failed Him,strayed away,messed up,blew my chances But His mercy never ceased and  I kept seeking and running after him.. I have come a long way 15 years later,I still love the lord r
