I pray for YOU!

As I sit here, on Christmas eve, I can't help but think back at the year that was. I tried refraining from the 'what 2013 has taught me' messages, but I just cannot. I mean, as I sit here thinking about the reason we celebrate Christmas, I cannot help but be thankful. Thankful to the Lord. Thankful for His birth. Thankful for His sacrifices. Thankful for the blessings He has bestowed upon me.

Christmas has such an overwhelming effect on me. I find myself holding back tears, of both joy and sorrow.

This year, two things happened that I am very proud of:
I started my blog :) It seems all my talking and ranting can now finally be put to good use! All my opinions finally have a home.
I also made it into the Clinical Psychology Masters programme for next year. A very selective programme, and one that I am honored to be a part of. I know that I am more than ready for this and I will reach the end of this journey having achieved my dream of becoming a Clinical Psychologist.

God has taken a lot from me this year. But He has given me even more.

God has given me an amazing family. He has given me opportunities. And He has given me Life.

So as I sit here, on the eve of the celebration of my Maker's birth, I cannot hold back the tears any longer. I cry because I am happy. I cry because I am thankful. I cry because I am grateful. I cry because although I am not worthy, He loves me and He thinks I am worthy of so much. So much more than I ever could have dreamed of.

Today, I pray for love and light to all of you who read my blog. To all of you who have supported me. I pray for blessings in abundance. I pray for peace. I pray for hearts that are at ease.
I pray for YOU!

Have a blessed and merry Christmas.

Take Care

Miss Stone

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...
