Praising God in my heart

My heart is overflowing with joy and so much more ♥️. I'm in awe of God's love and how He runs ahead and assists.


Today it was a Children's Ministry Sabbath. And I'm so happy 🥰. It started with four kids being late for Sabbath School and we had to do it without them. God came through.


I was blessed by today's message: Send me Lord, I'm willing. I'm still reflecting and asking God to empower me to minister to others always.


The Children's Choir sang finally. Ever since the Camp Meeting there's been so many programmes that practising has been so difficult. Praying God blesses the Children's Choir and it continues to grow even when I'm gone.


I've grown to love the children I work  with.And above all, I've wanted to form a loving relationship with them individually, so that they can know I'm in their corner. Apart from the verses and stories, I want them to know how much I love them and how much God loves them.


I was able to do a reflection on how the year was. We finally received the certificates for the children who attended the Vacation Bible School we had. I'm so thankful. Just sad I forgot two kids. But God will help me make them for them too.


Overall, God is such a support system and I'm grateful for the support.

Through His grace and support, we've achieved so much. There's been support from the church too.


I'm filled with awe as I watch and reflect on how God continues to be a Present Help in every moment. I'm still mourning the loss of one parent who was such a support system. Oh Dorcas! How God used her to support me. I pray God blesses us with more folks like her.

    Thanks for reading sis. I'm praying for my own Grade 0 - R school for now. I'm really hoping in a year's time God blesses me with one. Man, kids really warm my 💓. I'm learning to love better and communicate better.

Thankful Thursday: an answered prayer

 Hey reader, I trust you are well. Let me start by welcoming you in my space. I hope you'll find it to be a safe space. So, I feel like this past month I've been struggling to breathe - so much workload. Anyway, that's always the case. But there's pressure to improve and do your best. I'm still a facilitator for grade 1 - grade 3 learners . So far I have 3 new learners. Two are in grade 2 and one is in grade 1. Two can't write much nor speak English. My biggest challenge has been the grade 1 learner who'd cry when she had to write. I requested for her report card and let's just say it was extremely bad. She didn't meet grade R requirements- hence she can't write, doesn't know alphabets, can't really colour, not familiar with simple words(sight words) like and, is, this etc. Besides being a Christian  school, we emphasize on the three Rs - Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. Our kids write quite a lot. And I commend this - I'll explain in

Three Months In: Marriage reflection

Prior marriage, I honestly had my fears: how will living with a man be like, will I be able to freely express my desires, will he like my cooking? Will I still be able to maintain personal time and devotion?How will copulation be? Will it hurt? Will there be affection?All these questions would come to my mind from time to time, as I had never witnessed a healthy marriage where God was honoured. I had only observed bits and pieces from others and couldn't get the full picture; though there are healthy marriages. Thankfully, we can always "cast our cares to God", including our fears that keep us awake at night (1 Peter 5:7) and God promises to be with us through the fears (Isaiah 41:10). These fears  alo include a change in trajectory - whether it's leaving home, a change in career, getting married or any change we might face. My husband and I spoke about some of these fears prior marriage but our comfort has always been that God will continue guiding us as

29 Years of Grace - Part 3

19. Relationships with other people will often include misunderstanding and disagreements, but that doesn't mean we should give up. Sometimes folks  will make assumptions about us and will even seek to sabotage us, but God will see us through. God sees and often interferes. Human relations do hurt, more especially when you sacrifice so much and your motives are misunderstood. Through all of this, we should continue to pursue them for the good of mankind. Human connections require wisdom, grace and discretion from above. If we don't allow the Holy Spirit to guide us, we are in danger of seeking to deal with those who hurt us with revenge. But when we surrender to Holy Spirit we are able to return hate with kindness, sabotage with patience and misunderstanding with grace. Ours is to guard our hearts as we navigate these connections. And remember to deal with others, with the same grace God gives us. 20. Comparison is a thief of joy. We often picture  a certain path for our lives,
