WONDERING…

WONDERING…

Today I think i made a new friend.

We had met before but i think today brought us closer together

simply by us going for a church service together.

my friend heard a testimony on the internet

and this Led her closer to Christ.

She has a new found strong belief in Jesus,That he died  to save us,In His ability to take care of us,

answer our prayers,forgive us.

This revelation led me to really examine myself and

wonder why  the fire/passion I had as a new Christian

some years ago seems to have fizzled out..

It is so easy to talk about so many different kinds of things

but how many times do we take time to tell others,our friends,

people we interact with on a daily basis

about the great things God has done and is doing in our lives?

People are willing to die for their faith,

when push comes to shove,would I  be?would  you be?

The Present

The Present

It is so easy to wallow in self-pity

when people do not react to situations as you would expect.

walking on eggshells

because there are things you cannot change

however much you would like to.

But I believe worry about past mistakes or things we cant change only

consumes time and energy

So Today I will try to Let go and Let God

He has my back Always.

Its my birthday \o/

Its my birthday \o/

So I was just thinking about how new year’s resolutions are made at the beginning of a new year

but since most of my resolutions seem to have been brushed to the side I thought maybe this time round I could make some today

because it is the beginning of another year for me.

I won’t share them just because if I do , I believe they won’t come true

but I am really thankful to God

for all His blessings.

Sometimes some blessings are taken forgranted and today I  came a step closer to realising how much…

so receive some air cake

from me to you

with Love.

BESTEST

BESTEST

Have you actually given the best you can

at a given time

or been the best YOU you could have been in the past..

are you striving to be the best you can be now and in the future…

Thats all anyone could ask of you..

giving any less than your best is

denying yourself of so much…

Tired of  just being average because I can..

so I’m really hoping that from today

I will be the best me I can be and

observe if Life will prove to be more fulfilling..

Do not let the smallness of your vision

limit the greatness of God.

BEDSIDE (*insert church you go to here*)

BEDSIDE (*insert church you go to here*)

I was brought up in a should I say Christian family.

When I was younger,

most of us went to church together.

There was never a time when I didn’t feel like going to church

it was never  an option

Sunday = church followed by a lunch treat and other business thereafter

(sunday school maybe,never forgot the one time I was imprisoned,I say this because I was not allowed even a bathroom break and having been accustomed to leaving class before the “BIG” church or simultaneously,I was not amused when we were kept in long after the “BIG” church had ended)

As i grew older…

I felt I needed to move to a church where

I could grow as a youth as the youth service at the church we went to

began at 8am(read as too early in my vocabulary)

This was met with resistance as my mum

would always say “A Family that prays together stays together”

after winning some and losing some i got to go occasionally to a different church

alternate sundays turned to monthly and eventually I moved

completely to a different church..

HOW IT BEGAN

I was really happy at my new church..

made new friends,

always rocked my sunday best,

Bliss.

I can’t really say I know what happened but one day

my enthusiasm just went away.

I would rush off immediately after service so that i didnt have to interact with people..

I began targeting the seats near the door so that my exit could be swifter..

I then started getting to church late

(ok let me say later than usual,

I have an issue with timekeeping which hopefully ,

will be a thing of the past by the end of this month)

Missed praise and worship,

I began targeting the estimated time at which the sermon would start,

Now when you’re late you don’t just go looking for a seat at the front pews or in the middle of a row

because it looks like one is either showing off what they are wearing ,

attention-seeking or unfocused

obviously it is somewhat disruptive.

So I began to sit outside lucky for us there were loud speakers situated nearby,

At first i would have a permanent sneer on my face

because i was irritated by the ‘noise’ makers

who I couldn’t find the courage to tell to SHUT UP.

Gradually,I became a noise maker myself

depending on who I was sitting next to..

and would feel guilty for about two days thereafter..

The ‘lateness’ increased and I would occasionally miss church altogether

I would leave the house and find somewhere else to go or

just go into town then meet up with family after..

still  would feel guilty for about two days thereafter

Eventually I stopped feeling bad

and I got used to not going.

I realise that no one can force you to go to church..

What you get depends on how open you are to receive what’s there

God gave us a free will and I am no judge.

I can’t say i always go to church nowadays

Sometimes I am ecstatic ,

Sometimes i miss it all together

Taking one day at a time.

I believe ideally one SHOULD go to church

The Bible encourages us to fellowship together..
