ROCKING A CHAIR!!!!

One of the many truths I've come to accept in life is this...
Yup!!!!

I'm a big 'Worrier'...The littlest thing can make me scared....I cry a lot about a bad situation...Talk about a crazy situation for about a 'million times' to those that care to listen...Mull about a situation to the point that it takes over my entire being...

Uhmm.... Talking, thinking and crying might offer some sort of temporary relief but eventually, the problem is still there...and the whole process of worrying starts over again.....

For instance, when dad died, it was crazy...It was a worrisome period....I felt like a rocking chair...Cried and moved but I felt like that was all. There was no rest and peace in my soul. If my sister fell ill, I worried that she would die (Can you imagine?) or if mom was a bit upset, I worried about what I could do to help her...but what can a poor jobless 18 years old undergraduate do? 

Uhmmmm, trust me, worrying didn't add any value to me except giving me a headache or maybe helping me lose a lil' weight... Ha!

I learnt that rather than worry and give myself a lot of heartache, trusting and leaving it to God was my only option and so far I've been crazy blessed and humbled by Gods great love for me and my family...

Rather than worry...Rest on God!


Benjamin Franklin said, “The way to see by faith is

 to shut the eye of reason”.

When you are hit by life's many trials (honestly, they seem never ending)........Lean on God....and like Jesus said 'Take heart, I have overcome the world'.

Stop the tears and replace them with smiles. Stop the mulling and replace them with good/happy thoughts. Stop talking to the 'Oprah's' of the world and start talking to the Most High....Stop worrying/fretting and Start resting on GOD'.
Ah!!! Can't get over the gift of prayer. We are so privileged to talk to the most important BEING in the universe anywhere and at anytime...

PS: God hears...
The other day I was rambling to HIM about how I haven't seen a rainbow in a while and then yesterday, after reading 10 pages from my new fave book 'The Bible is a girls best friend', I looked up and just beside the brightest orange-y Sun I've ever seen, I saw the most beautiful rainbow I've ever seen... (Still excited about it)

Rainbows represents unfailing promises and God promises for U are never forgotten and are good. 
Also, if you look hard, You will find beauty and help where you least expect....
Always remember, beauty for ashes :)

If God could hear a 'crazy girl' prayer for a rainbow, how much more  yours? He's your father and friend, You can tell Him what you want and trust His decision and will for you :)

And wait in His time too no matter how hard it is....His timing is perfect...

Funny thing is, I need to apply this in my life today...This morning I got one those news that can spoil an almost perfect day...I've told God {Yup :) }and I'm trusting Him for His ready present help....

So, please pray for me too!!!! Plssssssssssss!!!! :)

So, sorry I've been MIA....Missed this so much...Miss You too!

Have a beautiful rainbow filled day :))

FEAR NOT!!!!!!!!!!

Hellooooooo :))
How are you doing and how was your night?
Last night was a bit scary. Woke up to dogs barking, gunshots and loud thuds from my heart.

It was so scary and my first thought after calming my heart was 'Stay calm, God will fight for you!!!'...
Thankfully, it was nothing other than, a 'trigger' happy night watch guard who was more than happy to secure us.

But it was SCARY though

What do you do when you are in FEAR? Talk to God. And then worry your poor heart out?

It's a new week and maybe we get to experience new fears, like an annoying boss, or maybe no job or even a health scare or  maybe your life becomes this new horror movie... BUT always remember that no matter what your FEARS are, 'Lay it all on God, He Cares'. (1 Peter 5:7). Trust HIM only.

It's not easy though. Like right now, I'm stuck with working with a somewhat difficult colleague :( 
However, I've learnt to Trust God and be friendly and smile through it.  :) (Trusting only GOD for help with the situation)

Knowing that God is faithful, it really helps me to not be captivated by worry. But knowing that He will do what He has said, He will cause it to happen, whatever He has promised, and then it causes me to be less involved in worrying about a situation.- Josh McDowell

Have a beautiful week with less fears and more faith...

Big Hugs :))
