His guidance is always needed!

-
God has the power to show us who is God. That is what we always hear. It is sometimes said in the form of a threat, sometimes it is said when God has once again showed us one of His many miracles he performs. Either way, God has the power to show you who is God.
We live our lives and we forget Him at times. We do things that we know He will not be pleased with, but we do it anyway. We live to please ourselves and our selfish needs, but we neglect to please Him. And yet, He is always there for us, especially in those times we find ourselves stuck between a rock and a hard place and we need a soft landing place.
Sometimes things happen to us, things we never thought would happen to us. In these moments, we find ourselves begging God for a different outcome. We plead with Him to change our circumstances. We even bargain with Him. If He changes our circumstances, we will be more obedient, we will listen more, and we will do what makes Him happy. We have all been there at least once in our lives, but as soon as He turns our situations around, we forget the promises we made. This saddens Him.
All I am trying to say today is this: Remember Him in everything you do. Call on Him in times of difficulty, but always thank Him in the good times too.
I have been all over the place recently, busy with a lot and finding very little time for Him. I have neglected Him, but today, I would just like to thank Him for still being there, even in the times I forgot about Him. I would like to thank Him for being there even when I did not call on Him. And I would like to thank Him for never giving up on me, even when I gave up on Him.
Have a blessed long weekend and Happy Women’s Day to all the ladies tomorrow J
Remember to put the Lord in everything you do. His guidance is always needed.

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...
