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!

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

Before the novelty of the new year wears off Let me take time to welcome you to 2015 and wish you a great year.. I so love a new year,it is a constant reminder of the Kind of God we serve.. who gives us another opportunity To start again,dream again,run again..regardless of what May or may not have happened in the past year.. Permit me to take a slow ride down memory lane as I look back at the highlight of my year 2014... I must look back so that I can appreciate  from whence God has brought me and where he is taking me to. I must look back lest I take for granted all he has done for me. I must look back so when the enemy comes to lie to me that God hasn't been good I can count my blessings and make My boast in the Lord. 2years ago after the loss of my daughter I found out that there was a 50/50 chance that the next child I conceived  was also going to die. I remember the consultant looking at I and my husband with a very sad face as he told ...

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...

little beginnings...This Woman Of Faith Is 1year Old

This Woman of Faith is 1 year old.. I give God praise for this beautiful vision. A vision birthed through my pain.. God is indeed an amazing God. I remember how it all started I was in a really low place.. It was Sept,2012 I had just received the diagnosis of my Daughter's condition I was discouraged,scared and I felt so alone.. I remember praying and crying my eyes out one day and I asked God to help me through it all and I kept saying,the devil is not going to rejoice over me but through all this lord,let me bring you glory. I didn't know what lay ahead but what I knew was that..I wanted to bring Glory to God.I wanted to praise through my tears and walk in Faith rather than Fear...I wanted to overcome this battle,I wanted to put the devil to shame. So God laid it in my heart to write about my struggles and my victories. "Write"...I thought to myself..how do I start,what do I write about.. I never saw myself in that light.. I never imagined t...
