Imperfect me

Image
Confused as I am, its my desire to please the great I AM I'm far from perfect, but in me grace is made perfect I set goals too hard for me to accomplish,  but You've been there for me from start to finish I've failed You Lord over and over I've failed those who believed in me I've even failed myself more times I'm like apostle Paul being drawn to the things that I ought not do, and leaving the things I'm expected to do undone!! I've found myself entangled in things I have no business doing, Yet my heart yearns to be that Proverbs 31 woman to be strong, to be Spirit-filled, to be like You Yet I'm just me.....Imperfect me

Diary 1 - Dear Heart

Image
Dear Heart, I can feel your pains, I feel your hurt and I see the silent tears you shed. I know because you are mine. I see how the fear of being rejected destabilizes you. I know about how you fear the unknown and worry about uncertainties. But I also know that you have great visions and plans that you will not let anything or anyone take away from you. I know your aspirations and dreams, and I know your passion for excellence. Please my dear heart,  Don't let the negatives out-rule the positives.  Don't be so discouraged that you fail to appreciate the mercies of God upon your life.  Don't look so much towards man that you lose focus on the things that really matter.  Don't think about yourself too much that you forget to give yourself!! My dear heart, Relax!!!

Hey World! Wanna Share?

Image
Its been a strange month for me!! Things have not been the way they used to be. I think it was partly because I lost touch of what was important for a minute. I got deeply engrossed in a "me" world! Focusing on the challenges surrounding me, and not paying much attention to how blessed I was.  It all slowly started fading away few days ago when God started showing me that it was not about me. The climax was reached this morning when a friend shared a blog with me (which I'll encourage everyone to read Click to read  ) which clearly proved to me that indeed its not about us. Through it all, God has taught me a vital message which is "Its in giving that we really live. We are not living until we are giving." Giving our resources, giving our time, giving our ideas, giving our love, giving ourselves, and most of all giving Christ.   In the light of this revelation, I'm willing to give. Yes!! Give myself....Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing my h...

De-Stress!!!

Image
Of late I've been thinking about a lot of things, mainly on what is really important in life. As a young lady I've known quite a few people that have passed on from this side of eternity, and it has made me wonder if life is worth it!! Why do we run around and hustle really hard for money when it can't buy us life when we need it? why do we spend our money on fancy clothes, shoes, cars, jewelries and perfumes if those things don't give us true relationships? Why do the people we love betray our trust? why does love hurt sometimes? why is life not as smooth as fairy tales and movies sometimes portray? why do those who really want stuff never get them, yet those who have them don't value what they have? why is there always a need for more? I could go on and on and on until forever, because these are deep questions in the heart of almost every human. My friend I don't have the answers, but I've found a way to live a blissful life in spite of all the worries o...

My love story

Image
This is not your regular love story, its not about two people meeting each other and falling in love. Its not about two people sharing and caring for each other, and NO its not about two people who are committed and devoted to each other.   This is about the kind of love that loved me when all I returned was hate, the kind that gave to me and I rejected what he had to offer, love that sought my attention and love so much that he died. As though that wasn’t enough, he still showers me with so much love even when I can’t give a little of my time. All it would take is for you to sit down, spend a few minutes to reminisce on all you have been through and you will realize that the greatest lover has been there loving you too. All you need to do is acknowledge and love him too, and you will experience what it really means to LOVE. 

A million tools

Image
Your word, your love, your truth, Are more than a million tools With which you teach your statutes I know I’ve been a fool But in your arms my joy is full No place else is as cool No moment as true As when I find myself lost in Your word, your love, and your truth

Behind the beautiful masks; the hidden pains

Image
  She gets haunted by her past, She tries to hide, but the pain always lasts Her make-up and the charm that she ignites Is only a camouflage for what she goes through at night He sings and dances in church He also plays the instrument so much Oh, how he hurts when no one looks How his worries are hidden by his good looks Little do we know that he is on the hook I know a friend who wants to help He puts our worries and fears in a shelf He takes them away forever If we can only rely on His love so tender Of our past and pain we can get rid From our fears and worries, He’ll be a lid Receiving Him is a decision for us Believing Him is the action for us His name is JESUS

Awesome

Image
Each time I think of you, It makes me feel like feeling you. Each time I work for you, It makes pleasing you pleasant. Each time I see the cloud,  It makes me praise aloud. Each time you show me that you are faithful, It makes my faith full. Each time I look at my family, It makes me convinced that you’ll never leave I guess the point is; Your creations, creatures and care are Just a summation of what you are:      AWESOME

A poem to my KING

Image
I might not be a skillful poet Yet, I’ll write a poem to my king I’ll tell him that my heart is set To raise my voice and to him sing For when it seems like I’m in a mess Rescue he’ll to me bring Even when I drift away from his presence His arms are always waiting for me to cling I worship you Lord for being my ever present KING

What we have in common -the good, better and best news

W hether we believe it or not, we all have certain things in common. Irrespective of your age, classification, race or environment, every human needs and daily seeks for real love. We all want to be accepted despite our faults and flaws; everybody wants to be the best that they can be, everybody wants a clear sense of purpose and direction to life. We all want joy and peace, we seek unity, and want corruption to end.  If any or all of these is true for you, then this message is for you..yes YOU. I have good news!! I have found THE ANSWER TO WORLD'S PROBLEMS, the answer to your fears, worries and insecurities. His name is Jesus; He is God. He created the world for a purpose. However, sin has turned the world away from God's original purpose and plan. For that reason, He {God} came to the world, in the person of Jesus to restore us back to Himself. His plan is to take everything back to the way it was in the beginning.  The better news is that Jesus died on the c...

How long child?

Image
How long would we go on like this How long? How long will you ask me questions And not listen to my answers How long? How long will you request for something Only to throw it back at my face when I provide it How long? How long will you keep crying And even reject a simple handkerchief from me How long? How long will you keep hurting me And saying “I’M SORRY” a million times and over How long? How long will you keep beating yourself for that mistake, and hide from me even when you’ve been forgiven How long? How long will I keep telling you That my arms are outstretched to reach you How long child? I've waited for long and I’m still waiting To show you that I’m ABBA Don’t be late child…

From Yonder-land to Wonderland and back

Image
Down in the dark allies of a small African village sits a young teenage girl She stares into the skies, and at the moon and stars; lost in thoughts "What could be out there in the real world?" she asks herself forgetting that her world is as real as she makes it She has heard stories upon stories of the foreign land she has big dreams of one day traveling out of her village, going abroad and experiencing "Life" She sees herself driving fancy cars and wearing flashy clothes Smiles and a great deal of joy feel her heart until she is brought back to reality by her mother's voice; yelling at her to do the dishes :-( She goes ahead to do the dishes, still thinking of her W O N D E R L A N D !!!                                                                               ...

Me

I see me, but you also see me I see me as strong and capable But you see me as weak and feeble I see me as having a rich heritage But you see me as underprivileged I see me as a survivor But you see me as a destructor I see me as smart But you see me as stats We both see me but is that truly me? Is there more about me that I need to know? Is there more about .. .

An Encomium for a Virtuous Woman

Image
This is an encomium for a woman who has redefined what it means to be a mother Your children rise up and call you blessed, your husband also, he praises you “Many mothers have done virtuously, but you excel them all” You have taught me and all your children what it means to be a mother You have portrayed to us that mother is another word for love You gave even when it was inconvenient for you often using phrases like “Am I the first person to have children?” but you gave anyways You have thought me as a young lady that being a mother does not have to be biological That one does not need any special reason or occasion to love and give You opened up your home and heart to all in need You opened up your kitchen and even your wallet until you’ve given your very last I’ve seen you give your last penny, and then come in to wonder about how the family will feed Above all, you taught me what it really means to trust God through difficult situations I have watched you live your life, and I can...

Free

Image
I want to be free Free to be me The me that I was created to be Not you, just me Free to be the light that the world needs Free to live above sin In a world that lacks His glory Free to radiate His beauty In a way that makes me a blessing Free to love without fear Free to laugh without pretense Free to dare to be the best Free to say “NO” to defiling my body Free to say “YES” to healthy relationships Free to give without expecting Free to dance without music Free to see the world through a kid’s eyes Free to be me Just free
