Say a little prayer for me...

-
I sat at my desk this morning, just working on some reports. It was an ordinary morning at work. I made myself a cup of coffee and I worked away. Nothing special was happening, other than the fact that I was alive and blessed to see another day. Now that is always something special.
So as I worked, an e-mail came through on my phone. I opened it and as I read it, I cried tears of joy. It was feedback I had been waiting on for two months and it was worth the wait. As tears ran down my face, I looked up and said ‘Thank You Lord’. This is only the first phase of a very long process, but with hard work and help from Him, I made it through that phase. The foundation phase. The first step. And it gives me courage and motivation to continue going. It gives me the will power to continue on this journey.
I wish I could share more with you all, but at this point, I am unable to. I just thought I would ask you to say a little prayer for me in your free moments. Those moments when you have nothing to do, or in those moments when you pray for your loved ones, maybe you could include my name too. It would mean the world to me. They say prayer changes things right?
Today, I realized that we underestimate God and His timing. When people say God’s timing is perfect, we do not fully comprehend it. As mortals, we are impatient, imperfect and we want things done when we want them to be done. We get upset when they do not happen as we wish and then we blame Him for not allowing it to happen. But He knows what is good for us. He knows what we can handle and when we can handle it. He shapes us into that special being that can take on challenges, even when we think we are unable to. He knows when we are not ready and He also knows when we are. Maybe I am ready. Maybe my time has come to take on another challenge. I just need to believe in myself like He does. I need to put in the work and trust Him to carry me through.
I know today’s post has probably confused many of you with my cryptic messages and I apologize for that, but I am just admiring His works. And I am sure, in your own way, many can relate. There are many ordinary days that start off with ordinary mornings, until something happens that makes you smile and cry tears of joy. Those are little miracles from God, reminding us that He is still looking out for us, even when we have forgotten Him.
Try not to forget Him today. Thank Him for your little miracles.
And please do not forget to say a little prayer for me J

Take Care

What Susie says about Sally...

‘What Susie says about Sally, says a lot more about Susie than it says about Sally.’ I came across this and thought it would be a sin not to post this. I know I have written about this before but I thought I should say something about it again. How quick are we to judge others? It really takes nothing nowadays for someone to say something bad about someone else. It has become almost second nature to open our mouths and to spread a story about someone else. In most cases, it does not even concern us at all. We spend way too much time concerned with the lives of others when we should be focused on making our own lives better. And it is true, what you say about someone else really does say more about you than it does about them. If you make it a habit of spreading stories, lies, rumours, whatever it may be, soon, you will have a reputation. And no one will believe you when you bad mouth others, because they already know that you have a reputation of doing so. The bottom line is t...

The clouds will fade...

I love rainy days. Days like today. I love them. The air seems so much cleaner. I inhale it and I feel alive. I feel alive. Rain has a cleansing effect. It falls down to the Earth and wipes all the dirt away. It penetrates the ground and works its way through every soil granule and blade of grass it can find. It leaves its mark on everything it touches. It cleanses. And then, it makes way for growth. That is what rain does. It touches the Earth and makes flowers grow, it makes grass green, and it nourishes and feeds so that growth can take place. And after the rain has stopped, the dark clouds that once threatened are gone, and it leaves us with a beautiful rainbow and the sun that eventually makes its way through the clouds. After the rain, growth takes place and the sun does eventually shine again. And in our lives, it works basically the same way. The dark clouds arise in the form of our problem and obstacles, chasing the sun away. They chase our joy away. They hover in our s...

They Chose My Womb

-
I often wondered if it would ever happen for me… I often wondered if having life growing inside    me would be something I would experience too.  You know how those thoughts of doom and gloom enter your mind and try to convince you that it is merely something you will witness and never have the pleasure of experiencing first hand. And as the years rolled by, those thoughts grew and gained strength.  I had often obsessed over it. Pretended not to be bothered, but secretly obsessing over it. Until it consumed me.  When I lost my Father and my best friend, the obsession grew. Almost as though I were trying to replace these two lives I lost with another. But continuously, I was disappointed. And so the thoughts grew. The thoughts became stronger and more prominent.  I didn’t know how to wait on God’s timing anymore, and frankly, I didn’t know if I wanted to. I became selfish and trusted Him less, although I still prayed for some kind of miracle. Which sounds we...
