What Did He Promise you?

I cannot believe how long it has been
Since my last post
This woman of faith is still here,
And my journey of faith continues
At lot is happening and as God leads I would share them with you.

Last Sunday was Mother's Day
This year it was a special one for me...
I really cannot thank God enough for his goodness
To me and my family.
As I look back at where God has brought me from and all that He has done for me
My heart continues to be full of gratitude.

He is truly a promise keeer






Some one asked me a couple of years back,how I manage to stay so joyful
And positive after the things I have been through.(who hasn't been through things😊)
I cannot remember the answer I gave her but I know it is simply because I believe
So much in the truth that God cannot lie..If he says it He would do it,
If He makes a promise He would keep it.
It is hard sometimes not to worry about the how...
How is God going to do it..
When is God going to it..
Yes I believe but letting go and just trusting that He would do what He promised can be humanly hard
And so I rely on his grace and constantly ask God to help me in my moments of doubt,worry,anxiety etc.

I cannot forget that heart wrenching moment 4 years ago
In that paediatric  consultants office,
When My husband and I were told that not trying for more children was
Our easiest and safest option.
See we had just lost a child and such news was not what we were expecting to hear
I remember thinking to myself,My husband had said years before we got married that God had showed him a picture of our kids a boy and a girl,so why is this man saying
That we shouldn't bother having more kids.
I could not imagine us not having children especially as we had experienced
The joy of having one before.

I knew someone was lying and it definitely wasn't My God.
Ah...He promised me Children
He said Affliction would not arise a second time
And I have held on to those words every single day.

So as I danced my heart out last Sunday in church
My heart was bursting with gratitude
He indeed is faithful,A promise keeper
I am so thankful for a God who's dependable and trustworthy
He never fails..
Today My queaver is full..
My house is full of noise,laughter and tiny feet
And a constant reminder of God's promise fulfilled.
 My son and Daughter are healthy and happy
And affliction would continue to be far from them.

Every where I look
I see and hear testimonies of a God who is so good at keeping His promise
God is not partial,If he did it for me,He would do it for you.
What has He promised you?
What are you believing in him for?
Don't loose hope,keep the faith.
He would surely keep His promise.

Be Encouraged.




Please share and Encourage some one else
What Has God promised you?

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...

Sand In my Shoes!!!!

Early mornings!! Zaine dress up, Zem come take your bath,  Zaine this and Zem that!!!  My mornings are generally characterised by routines;  early morning squeals,bargaining,tears,tantrums, the rush to get the entire family's day going, and the million and one things I need to remember and do before I make the dash to catch my bus. Every morning I am running out of the house in a mad dash just so I can make the bus in time, the mornings I do, a certain wave of accomplishment washes over me and the days I don't, oh well, too bad. lol One of the things I really love about being a mum is forming fun routines that our kids love and look forward to and one of which has been my morning exit routine. The kids all come to see me off and I demand from them a kiss and a hug. Couple of weeks ago, as I made my way out in my usual hurried fashion, my little girl insisted on a hug, a kiss on her cheek and nose, plus a high five. As I finally broke a wa...

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...
