Make It Stop!!!

Make It Stop!!!!

He held me so tightly with misty eyes
and gave me a stare that pulled my heartstrings.
A tiny tear escaped and ran down his cheeks
make this stop mummy
It hurts so much....

He wailed as his little 4year old frame which was covered with widespread blisters( that were characteristic of chicken pox) itched.
Mummy Can you make it go away He pleaded, Give me more medicine just make it stop!!!

I was plagued with exhaustion and a lack of sleep and as He suffered, I suffered too.
I wish I could make it stop
Make the pain and discomfort go away
It hurt me to see him hurt but then I knew in a few days that it was going to be ok.

And  then a picture began to form before my eyes..
Of all the times I have had to go through  painful, uncomfortable and distressing situations in my life.
I had whined,cried,grumbled and complained.
I said those same words to God in so many different ways..
Make it stop lord, Make this pain go..this emptiness, this hurt..

I remembered the countless times I wondered why a God who loved me would allow me go through seemingly painful experiences.
How could He stand by and watch me go through lack,pain,failure,disappointment,delay you name it.

 He was Almighty God, I knew He could stop it if He wanted to but why would He stay silent, do nothing yet urge me to bear it..Comfort me as I go through it and wipe my tears as they fall but do nothing to stop it..

Here I was cooing and holding my baby boy
Encouraging him to be strong and telling him that He would be ok in a few days, reminding him that His sister had chicken pox a few weeks ago and now she is all fine So he would be fine too. I knew it
wasn’t going to kill him..
I knew that it would pass..
It was for his own good...
Though it hurt..it was going to make him immune and strong so he wouldn’t get chicken pox again.

I could hear God speaking as I held him close.
I am with you Child.
Whatever it is you are going through
I am with you...
Holding you, kissing you, wiping your tears and holding your hands through it..
It would not Kill you.
You would be fine, trust me
Do not despair...Hang in there..

I hope these words encourage you today
As you find hope and courage to face your day. Whatever it is that you are facing
It is well. This too shall pass.
Stay Encouraged.

1 Pet 5:10TPT
And then, after your brief suffering, the God of all loving grace, who has called you to share in his eternal glory in Christ, will personally and powerfully restore you and make you stronger than ever. Yes, he will set you firmly in place and build you up.

Do share if this has been a blessing to you.

I'm at work whilst reading this and have to fight back the tears. This is very timely darling. A great reminder that God truly is with us through it all even if we don't feel it.

My Case Is Different...

Shutting my eyes I can vividly remember every time someone has tried to discourage me from launching out or dreaming big based on someone else's experience or failure... sometimes it has been said unconsciously,without even thinking... The moment you mention your intention and desires,there is always someone who is ready with an example of someone else's story... Who says I have to apply 10 times before I get a visa to a foreign country Who says I have to have a god-father before I get that dream job Who says I have to attend 5 interviews and receive 5 rejections before I get the job Who says I have to wait and wait,fall into wrong hands and then learn from my mistakes before I eventually  find my prince charming.. Who says I have to have connections to get ahead in life... My case is different... I am not a statistic...my case is different The fact that it happened to 4 or 6 people you know doesn't mean it would happen to me my case is

I AM NOT DEAD YET

I am not much of the gardening type as much as I love flowers and pot plants, It takes quite a bit of an effort for me to give the flowers and pot plants in my front yard the attention they deserve... but I must admit they add such beauty and charm to my front yard. lately I have just been too pre-occupied with all that has been happening in my life and around me to even notice that I have plants to feed and nurture.. 2 weeks ago I noticed that they had all withered and the leaves were dry,brittle and falling,especially with the summer.. I sighed in regret..if only I wasn't too consumed with myself maybe my lovely front yard would have been preserved. I gave up,maybe it was too late to salvage the situation. I might just try I said to myself and see what difference it makes.. I set out a couple of days ago to water the plants...I had just a small bowl of water.. and as I went back inside to get more water..I got distracted and never got round to fully watering the

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 love the lord r
