Note to SELF!!!

The woman I become is strengthened by the things I believe & the things I fight. Contrary to popular opinion I am not everywoman cos our God has cut for each of us a path similar yet so distinct.
The pain of my past makes mockery of the faith I profess and dares me to sing the redemptive song, the circumstances I face challenges the voice of hope so tiny but yet powerful.
Without question I walk my path and sing the redemptive song for the redemptive song is for always and hope ........yes hope shines so bright and makes today good and tomorrow very colourful and beautiful.
I put my hand on its switch cos I know that no matter how dark the night, the presence of light dispels the dark, so yes I'm singing all the way and my hand is on the switch of hope.

Keep believing.Good things find its way to those who believe they deserve it.

We are better CONNECTED.

 

Me myself and I mentality is something we are familiar with. We want to be left alone, we hang the “do not disturb sign” everyday for 365 days and we fly solo just doing our own stuff. God knew we will get to this point of self sufficient mentality which is not in line with His way of thinking about our existence as humans hence He illustrated by His actions when He was going to create man the hallmark of His creation, He said Let us.......... God created every other thing just by speaking them into existence without having any consultation but He knew to create something that will stand out as a MASTERPIECE of His work there needs to be a connection and an agreement that involved all of the Godhead. Through His action God showed that to birth something extraordinary you need to be in connection and in agreement and if this is the case why do we think we can get far flying solo?

Individually we can build something but if we partner together with God and connect with the people he brings in our lives then we can go farther than our individual energy can carry us. For where one individual’s creativity ends is where another person’s begins. We are blessed individually with different gifts and talents that can only produce to the capacity of one but when we bring our talents and gifts together, like a firework we spark and create extraordinary colours.

In today’s world people hire those who can work as part of a team because it’s a known fact that together: the burden is lighter, we create winning moments, the journey is more interesting and we fly higher. I know about being scared to let others in, truth be told our greatest and most rewarding moments will come through people and so also will our worst moments  but for the sake of the great destiny placed in our hands which is impossible to birth solo we have to put yesterday behind us and make bold to trust again.

It takes faith to connect with people and you will be connecting with the wrong person if you  don't connect first to your source(God). For it is God who made us and gave us the assignment  and He knows those who are meant to go on the journey so we have to put our faith in Him first and put our hands in His and He will direct our path.

My life compass (Bible) makes it clear that on my own i can chase a thousand but when i join forces with another we will chase ten thousand. We can only go so far individually. We were not created to fly solo we are better connected to our source (God) and to the people He brings our way. 

Keep Living, Loving and Learning. Stay Connected.

THE PURSUIT..............

Life is a beautiful journey and in all we do we need to pursue EXCELLENCE and give our very best every single day. There will be times we don't measure up but we shouldn't bury ourselves or write ourselves off. In order to grow and move forward we must learn from every experience and set ourselves goals that stretch us in our PURSUIT..............

Today i stand

from the shackles that held me bound

A Phoenix out of ashes

An eagle that has no other mission 

but to soar

Running with Passion

not to prove anybody wrong 

but to prove the voices of limitation

from my past wrong

Cos those are the only enemy to my PURSUIT

I may not make the free throw the first time

and i may not fully understand what it is

to be my own shooting guard at life's game

  

But I'll keep working on my throws

I'll keep aiming for the net

and I'll keep fine tuning my skills

if today i don't get it

tomorrow I'll stand again on life's court

I'll make the throws again

with all sense of precision

this time I'm going to be shooting straight

into the net

When i make the net and I'm certain I WILL

God on my side this is not gonna be a one off

or the end of making  precise throws

Because I'm going to always 

stage a COMEBACK

that reveals a better me.

Pursue excellence in all things and you'll find that happiness will not be far from you.Live life on purpose and trust God above all else.

You will MAKE IT.

Don't Change the Song!!!

It's a New Year and i know we all entered this year with a song of hope and faith. With our head held high and with faith locked in our hearts we decided we will start afresh and continue to hold on despite all that life threw in our corner in 2010. As you journey along it is true that the new will become old. Somehow you become complacent and slide back into the former ways of doing things and somehow the prayer request written 1st January seem to be taking too long to manifest. I just want to encourage you that no matter what you see or how it looks DON'T CHANGE YOUR SONG!!.I believe without a shadow of doubt that this will be one year to remember for good  but as the word of God says only those who believe to the end will be saved. Don't let what people will say or are already saying change the song of hope you have. Let our God be true. You are more than you know and He has great plans for you this year and beyond.
Have a fabulous 2011. Live,Love,Learn and don't let circumstances change your song.
