THE WAITING

caption: wordpress.com
If the excitement we have when God makes a promise would be consistent through the time taken for the promise to substantiate then we would have amazing results and God's children would be all smiles all the time. This however is not the case. The question we often ask is why does it have to take this long? I mean... He is God... He just says the word and it goes. But the question we should be asking is this, "I'm I ready?"

What will it look like?
What will it be like?
When my life turns out like you've planned
When will I get there?
Seems like I'm know where
My dreams are like dust in my head... 
The reason why we get so worked up trying to make a promise come to pass before it is its time I believe its because we forget to remember that the one who gives the seed is the only one who can make it grow. Paul said in the bible that for him he came to plant and another would water the seed but it is God who makes it grow. See the seed that Paul was planting was given by God just like each promise or word spoken into our lives and it is God who makes everything beautiful at its time.

God is the best parent ever. If the earthly, not perfect parent can be able to tell that a five year old is too young to drive a car, what about the perfect God who knows us more than we know ourselves. He knows when we are ready to handle the promise and when we are not yet in a position to do so. In our minds we might be thinking, "I want it right now" or "It would be the perfect time now Lord to bring that promised husband or wife my way" but God may be looking down and saying "My child there is somewhere I want to get you before you get that leadership position" or "There is some grounding I need to do on you lest the wealth gets into your head."

It is not wrong to anticipate, but we should be anticipating with patience, peace and joy knowing that Love will not let go. If it is not here yet then it is better than what I am imagining and I am still being shaped to be in a position to handle it and the responsibilities that come with it.
This is the waiting, I anxiously wait
As I hold on to Love that will never let go
And in this time when my patience is tested
Won't you remind me that I am not alone
Here in the waiting

YOU NEVER LEAVE ME

Umeahidi ewe Bwana huniachi (You have promised oh Lord that you never leave me) Hadi mwisho wa dahari ulisema huniachi (To the end of ages you said, you will not leave me) Wewe ni Mungu uliye mwaminifu siku zote (You always a faithful God) Mimi ninaiweka Imani yangu kwako Bwana (I put my faith on you Lord) Today I just sat down and remembered the faithfulness of the Lord. These are the wings I needed to soar with in this new month.

ABIDE WITH ME

Photo from youtube.com This post is not for one who got it under control. This post is not for you who thinks you have to do a number of things to get God's attention. This post is not for one who already has a list of this years resolution and is willing to make everything work. This one today is for you who only knows that God is with you and that is all that matters. One who is aware of the new year but still has a junk of the previous years trying to weigh them down.

PEOPLE

We all care. Most of us like to say we do not really care what anyone thinks about us but truth is that deep down we really do. It's just that some of us have slowly been sucked into approval addiction while some have gradually realized that it really shouldn't matter that much so we try not to let others' opinions sway us. All the same, even those of us who claim not to care actually want everyone to believe that we are unmoved by their opinions so really, it's a big deal. 123rf.com They are the best and the worst you've created Loving and hating and opinionated Loners in basements and those congregated Deliver me... Far from the peace, from ashore I was sinking Deep in the ocean of thoughts they were thinking Don't know what  validation I was seeking Deliver me from... I believe there's nothing wrong with caring about opinions. Because sometimes we're able to change our lives' direction for the better because we listened t...

WHO DO YOU SAY I AM?

One day Jesus asked his disciples who people said he was, (Mathew 16:13-20) . They went ahead and listed what other people thought he was. Then Jesus asked who the disciples thought he was, and Peter replied, "The Messiah, the Son of the Living God." Jesus went ahead and declared a blessing over Peter for knowing whom He was. Mark this however, he told him that this was not revealed to him by flesh and blood. Nilitoka njia ya Bingu nilikoitwa mimi (I have left the heavenly way)

OF HONEST PRAYERS...

We've heard it said countless times that when it comes to talking to God, there's no sort of perfect way to it. What matters most is the state of our hearts.  A broken and contrite heart- these, He will not despise. A good number of people say music gets them through pretty much everything. The truth is that music is powerful. However there have been times in my life when nothing made sense. When I say nothing I mean even the songs that would normally be very helpful were simply just nicely arranged words with a melody. I would be in so much turmoil that I’d think of the times when one song or the other lifted my spirit and wonder what changed. Saviour please, take my hand
