Today is mothers day...

As I look back to the happenings of the past months, I have only one thing in my heart: Gratitude.

Gratitude to God for his unfailing love for me, especially the times when I felt so alone and so forsaken. God never left me, He never left my side.. I could feel his arms around me, I could hear his voice speaking to me, telling me how much he loved me, reminding me of how good his plans for me are..

Gratitude to God that I am still a mother to such a beautiful child ,gratitude to God that every time she looks at me my heart wells up with joy. Gratitude that despite all she has been through she can still smile, a smile that lights up a room and leaves such an impression on any heart.

Gratitude to God that my marriage is still solid strong. The challenges have made us closer and stronger, Gratitude to God that am still so in love with my husband...Gratitude that what would have easily destroyed our home God is using to bless and bind us together.

Gratitude to God that my love for him has grown more, gratitude that even though the enemy has tried to steal my joy in divers ways my joy has remained intact..

Gratitude to God that I believe him more than I did yesterday...my faith in him is unchanging. If God has said it..I believe it and that settles it.

Dear reader..do you see the glass half full or half empty...
How you see life reflects in your attitude towards life..
God wants us to have an attitude of thanksgiving no matter what we go through in life
He says BE THANKFUL....
say A prayer of thanksgiving right now...you have so much to be grateful for!

Indeed, I have every reason to be grateful. My Pastor reminds us "if you have lost anything, God is the reason you did not loose everything".

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...

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 l...
