THIS WOMAN OF FAITH

Hello Auntie! I looked back to see who was being addressed as ''aunty'' Oh....hello I responded slowly when it dawned on me that I was the ''aunty" See who was calling who Aunty..I chuckled to myself. As I sat quietly I was surprised at myself. Why be offended,The young lady was only being polite What and how did I expect her to address me; Hello girl or young lady,I don't even know how I would address myself lol. That day I sat and thought real hard and long It hit me...the numbers are adding up.. I might not feel as old but I am no longer 21 I am aging. In other words,I am getting old. But hey,Aging gracefully is a beautiful thing, The experiences of life adds to us, We are wiser and stronger for having weathered life's storms and challenges So I am reminded that even though I have not achieved all I set out to do, I am in God so he makes everything beautiful and He perfects all that concerns Me. Lately I have had this sense o

It is often said that a dream remains a dream if you do nothing about it. I totally agree. I remember day dreaming as a little girl of wining beauty pageants And I would practice  my acceptance speech with glee in front of my amused mother,bless her soul, But alas that dream remained just a dream,I never grew past 5ft 4inches, Hey don't you laugh. As a little girl,I had a lot of dreams...I wanted so much out of life,bottom line I wanted to be successful and make an impact on people's lives Then I grew up a little more and I began to adjust my dreams and lower my expectations Let's just say,Life was happening to me. The realities of life set in, I was content to just go with the flow. Until I had an encounter with The Lord Jesus and my eyes of faith where opened to limitless possibilities. I knew that I could in fact do and be all things through Christ But I had to dare to dream. Having a relationship with Jesus didn't mean life was going to be rosy, B

3 years ago My husband and I made a decision to move back to London We decided to live the beautiful,sunny town we had called home. A place I would never forget.A place where my Daughter was buried. A place filled with so many memories,both bitter and sweet I remember it like it was yesterday.. As we packed all our earthly belongings into the van And made our way out of that town.. I remember the feeling of emptiness,of deep loss And of uncertainty as to what the future before us held. We were only certain of one thing..Gods promise never to leave or forsake us.. For a moment,I likened myself to Naomi in the bible (Ruth 1:21) Indeed I went away full,but it seemed like the Lord brought me back empty I remember   Writing  about this a few years back and how I was Determined not to let my experiences make me bitter but better.(click the link to read about it) I made a note to myself to count my blessings despite my loss. I prayed that my outlook on life stayed positive a

I remember Her like it was yesterday.. Fond memories of growing up...the type of childhood I would Want my children To have. She made all the difference... She was very soft spoken,the only time she raised her voice at you was when you did something really really wrong. It is the little things that made mum special Like the pep talks,the praise here and there And moments we chatted and laughed out loud.. She encouraged us and prayed for us..Her love was intentionally visible. I sometimes wonder if she knew her time on earth was going to be short. I was barely 15 when she passed and I could already keep a home and take care of My younger one. She was always teaching,instructing and made sure I was involved in everything she was doing. We had conversations about life,love and everything..I could count on the fact That she would listen without judging me..She believed in Me and that was all I needed. I remember doing catwalks modelling her clothes and shoes which were obv

Happy new month everyone..I have received a lot of feedback regarding The last post on creating a   Pep wall  To keep yourself Inspired on a daily Basis.I must say it is such a God inspired idea. In 2016 we cannot afford to be discouraged Or feel hopeless.God is faithful and able to Perfect all that concerns Us. 
 This past week,something profound happened that Got me thinking And reviewing the relationships in my life. Do you know that you can start 2016 on a very high note,with all your dreams and goals defined And even have clear cut objectives but if you are constantly surrounded by the wrong people Your dreams would be as good as dead. The people who you call your friends have direct access to you and are able to negatively or positively impact your life and influence your choices through their words and actions. So,Here is a List of 6 groups of people you definitely do not need as your close friends and associates in 2016. 1. DRAINERS: They are very

I always look forward to the beginning of a new year.. Each new year brings with it a load of endless possibilities, a reason to start again,perhaps revisit failures and mistakes of the past year and do and be better. And every new year,I excitedly project my hopes and dreams And pray that God in his mercies would make my dreams come true.. This year 2016 has been no exception.. A few days ago,I had a little quiet reflection of all the Dreams,goals and objectives I had set for 2016 and beyond And a little cloud of doubt appeared to be looming over me. A picture of the past year was painted before me, As the challenges,difficulties and the goals written yet never achieved were Amplified before me. I recognised the pattern only too well.. Have you ever tried to lunch out and yet you feel like a voice is saying...slow down Every one else failed so why would you be an exception? Does any body know that familiar feeling of self doubt that dashes your high expectatio
