Make Jesus Lord!

Byadmin

Sometimes we feel disappointed by the things we feel ought to be and are not. Sometimes, we get carried away by other people’s achievements. We allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by the things that we don’t have, the things that we have asked for and not received. At times like these, we need to cry out to God and let Him know our challenges. Ps. 61:1-2 says that when our hearts are overwhelmed, He will lead us to the Rock that is higher than us. He is that Rock. When we don’t know the way, He does. When we don’t know the solution, He does.

Pain & Healing

Byadmin

This experience helps me appreciate afresh, the healing power of God and His presence with us. He says He will never leave us nor forsake us. He will be with us always. He is with me even now, as I write this. As I think of weight loss strategies and pain management strategies without medication. As I promise myself to stay away from excessive eating and stay committed to walking and healthy eating, He is with me; helping me stay committed to the good things that promote health and healing.

Part II – The Offence

He caught Kate’s eyes in the mirror and looked away. She had given him a tentative smile which he ignored. He couldn’t wait to get off the ship and back to real life. The Linda matter had left a bad taste in his mouth. He needed a plan to show her. He found it difficult to concentrate on what he was watching. He recalled the interaction they just had. He got angry all over again. And this time, his anger arose because he didn’t know why he was so angry. Why would seeing Linda bother him so much? He regretted divorcing her. Maybe if they had just been separated, he would still have a hold on her. The divorce was meant to be a punishment. She had cried and begged him when he told her he wanted a divorce. He sighed, and Kate caught his eye again in the mirror. This time, she had a worried look. He decided to humor her. Maybe that would help take his mind off Linda. He smiled at her.

Sadness & Joy – Part 1 (The Meeting)

Byadmin

He looked around to be sure everything was going well, before heading to his designated table to have dinner. The band leader chose that moment to change the beat and started playing a very upbeat tune, a mixture of afrobeat and pop, very African. Out of the corner of his eye, the captain noticed a couple at the next table get up to join the dancing couples on the floor. He did not pay much attention and continued with his meal. It had been like any other trip and he was glad that it was ending uneventfully, especially as his experience had taught him that anything could happen at sea. He had   learnt never to heave the sigh of relief until the last passenger had safely disembarked.

Pain Points & Purpose

Byadmin

Pain points. It’s very interesting how language evolves. As new experiences occur, language makes room to accommodate new words, adjust for old words with new meanings and eliminate some old words, which die out entirely out of lack of use. Who talks about typewriters today, or cassette tape or rotary phone boxes? Pain points is…

AWOL!

Byadmin

Hello! I can’t believe I went AWOL (Away Without Official Leave) last week! 

It wasn’t intentional and I truly apologise. I got caught up in a tide that swept me away from my laptop and try as I did to find my way back, it was impossible.
