THANK YOU LORD....#GOODBYE

Yesterday I said my goodbyes to a group
of people I had grown so fond of...
They had become not only my work colleagues but
also Family.
I spent the day being showered with
hugs, kisses,gifts and I could tell,this people genuinely
meant it.
One would think I had worked there for ages...
I had only been there for 14months or should I say 11months( I was unavoidable absent for 3months)
I can only but say thank you Lord...

I remember in all honesty when I accepted this Job
I wasn't even sure of the possibility of me even working
It was a big step of Faith...
you see I had a sick child and I was depending on God for her
every breath...
Still I stepped on the water and decided to walk even with all
the uncertainties and doubts I had..
I packed my bags and moved hundred's of kilometers to a
place I had never been to.
 I left family,friends and all that was familiar
to go take up a job I wasn't even sure I could be physically present for.
Call it faith or Madness.
To God be the glory,my Fine Man is as crazy as I am...and He supported me..
We joined our faith together..and God Honoured Us.

I remember now that I actually sowed a seed in church one Sunday
and my prayer was...lord give me a Job...and make my little girl
well enough so I could go to work.It was a week after I sowed this seed
That I got the job offer...So this is actually what fueled my faith.

ah...this God is faithful....He provided...A beautiful house,
A dedicated childminder and all that we needed every step of the
way He provided..especially His presence..
I remember my 1st day at work on the 7th of Jan,2013..
I could not believe It....I actually showed up at work...
and since that day...God has favoured me...
I worked for only 3 weeks before I had to take time off indefinitely to nurse
my critically ill child...
but in the midst of that..I was made a permanent staff
and my employers were there to support me through every turn
I encountered.
My heart is filled with gratitude lord....

I had a lot to make up for when I returned back to work
but God brought teachers and mentors my way...
He gave me speed...every single time I lost being away
HE restored..In no time..I was being looked up too..
ah...only God deserves my praise.

 As I listened to the wonderful things that were said and written about me
at my leaving do...All I could say was thank you Lord
for helping me rise above the challenges and for helping
me leave a mark here....
Thank you lord that I at least made a difference in the life of
one or two or even three people here..
Thank you for the speed to cover grounds and outshine my
contemporaries...Thank you Lord for shining through me.

And now as I look forward to new beginnings...
One thing is sure...God has gone ahead of me to make
every crooked path straight...
Do I have fears,yes....
Do I have a few worries,yes
BUT it is nothing compared to the promise I have In him
He who begun this good work in me would be faithful to complete It...


God bless you and keep you strong In your walk of Faith
Amen.

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. ...
