WHEN SEA BILLOWS ROLL


As I sat by the beautiful sea
I couldn't help but feel God's presence..
I could Feel his peace enveloping me

I remember months back I had fought God's peace
In the hospital...As I held my almost lifeless baby
I could feel the peace of God overshadowing me
and I laughed within me..as the tears poured down
I said lord I know what you are trying to do
and I don't want your peace...
No...I wasn't willing to accept his Peace..

Today I am thankful to the holyspirit for not taking his peace away
God knew how much I needed it..
and as a faithful,Patient Dad,He enveloped me in his loving arms
and gently soothed me with his comforting Words...
He said child...Its going to be ok
It sure doesn't make sense but trust me I am in control
I know you hurt...but believe me THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Peace,thank you lord for your Peace
Peace that surpasses all understanding
It is your peace that keeps me strong
It is your peace that keeps me hopeful
It is your peace that keeps me sane...

As I watched the raging sea...
My sorrow was like the sea billows rolling
but just like calm followed the billows
so did peace still my soul
Praise God.

As I learn each day to bask in his peace
I am strengthened
As I choose to be still and wait patiently
I know he would come through for me
Thank you Lord for being my Jehova Shammah
My peace in the midst of my storms..

Receive His peace today
Beloved, He says My peace I leave With you..
I would never Leave or forsake you
When you are weak,I would be strong
I am your Peace..
HE is truly king over Every storm
Let Us be still And know that He is God
Be Encouraged.

Every time I was so stressed out with life and the responsibilities of being a working Mother, plus the trying times we were going through months back; I remember the duet we did in church "This too shall pass," ad my spirit was always lifted even though I'd sing my part in tears. Trusting God for and with you,to keep your head up. Loving you always!

Joy - like yourself I have learnt to be at peace and at rest in the Lord living life as a working mother. I saw life to be like a rat race but God has taught me to appreciate the life He has given me and to live it with joy knowing that at the end of the day it is in Him that I find and have rest. Peace to you Joy and to my beloved Sister, Stella. It is well with our souls because we serve the King of Peace!

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...

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...

THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Oh no, it was actually real, the scene that had just flashed before me wasn't from the contagion movie. It was actually real. Somebody pinch me! News , mayhem, panic buying, fear mongering, social distancing,self-isolation unimaginable loss of lives, truncation of businesses, and untold hardship for many. I caught myself as a wave of fear washed over me, what is the meaning of all of this, what must I do, what is God saying? As I pondered, I could hear very clearly in my spirit these words: "This too shall pass "and almost immediately an unexplainable peace and confidence in a God who is bigger than my fears and still In control settled me. How are you doing child of God? Are you troubled, worried, tired,afraid or overwhelmed? Rest in the assurance of God's word and His love. Amidst all the fear and uncertainty be reminded that God is sovereign.  Amidst all the pain and the loss be assured that God is present, to comfort and to restore. ...
