feeling overwhelmed?

A few weeks back,I wrote about how hard the enemy
fights to steal our joy...
I shared that the secret of staying joyful was staying
in an atmosphere of praise and praising your way out of every
seemingly difficult situation..

I think that really got the enemy mad
As always...when you share powerful principles like that
your faith would be tested..
It has been one challenge right after the other for me
The minute I get my head round one issue
another phone call comes in ushering a new challenge....
some days I feel like laughing
other days..hmmm I am not so sure how I feel..

I must say...It can be hard to praise God and stay
joyful when you can't see the way out of a situation.
I sat down in my living room the other day
and my mind was so far away....
I knew what I was doing..I was worrying..
and I heard this loud and clear in my spirit;
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed.
We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.


I heaved a deep sigh...and reached for my phone....
I had to be in an atmosphere of praise...
I had to praise even though I didn't feel like it...
and as always...hope and faith came alive again.
casting all my cares on Him for He truly cares for me
I will trust him through this and I know I would not
be ashamed.

Life can feel so overwhelming at times..
sometimes the challenges just keep flooding in..
but what do we do when we feel overwhelmed.
Do we forget In whom we have believed in
Do we forget how HE delivered us from the bear and the Lion..
Sometimes I can't help when the tears just flow..
Its OK to cry,but after that...do I wipe my tears and declare
God's promises concerning me?

Child of God...my challenges are still there but I am not worried any more
I am assured,persuaded and confident
that God has made a way..All things are working out for my
good because I love God..
As I encourage myself and choose to stay joyful,with a heart full of praise
I encourage you too...regardless of your challenge..
It would pass,God would make a way..
Lets continue to hold on to his promises
IT IS WELL
God bless you...

 

 2 Corinth 4:8-9(ESV)
 we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;…

Habakkuk 3:17-18(ESV)
Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.…

1Pet 5:7(KJV)
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.


 ROMS 8:28 (NLT)
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

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...

She would have been 6 today

She would have been 6 today.... I can only imagine... The feeling I felt when I held her for the 1st time... My first born child,Very surreal I couldn’t believe such a beautiful gift had been given to me. Little did I know that this gift would change my life, our lives forever. She would have been 6 today... As I look back on all that has happened this past 6years My heart is truly full of gratitude. That God chose to enrich our lives with this child That God chose to trust us with this experience I would never have thought in my wildest dreams as I shared the news of my pregnancy with my dear husband that summer of 2011, that months after her birth we would be confronted with news that our precious perfect gift from God had an incurable Genetic condition and that she was going to die. How do you process that... How do you get on your knees and trust God through that How do you still love and serve God in spite of this... How do you deal with the questions,rage,pain,h...
