  "Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of Your presence, Lord...They exult in Your righteousness." How great is it that the Lord of lords, the King of kings invites us to be in and walk in His presence, what an honour that is. We can worship wherever we are. We are not confined to worshipping only on a Sunday in church or only when we get down on our knees to pray - no, God listens to us and wants us to speak to Him and worship in the busyness of our day, at anytime and wherever we are.  I remember my Uni days, we'd sometimes get a lift with one of my friends mom to the bus stop from where we'd take a bus to campus. That car ride with Aunty Patty was a full on praise and worship session! I look back in awe of her energy at that time of the morning, I remember the pure joy she had - singing her way through the traffic, waving to the people we were passing by, she was 100% filled with the spirit.  We can praise the Lord f...

  "Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth."  We have so much to be thankful for and yet we take so much for granted. How many times do we go for routine check-up's at the doctor and leave with the good news that we are fine? As a woman I go for two routine check-up's a year and there is anxiety that comes with it but I kind of assume everything is fine and when I get the results it always has been and that is all thanks to God. The fact that I do not fret about the results is thanks to God too and the faith I have that all will be fine. Sometimes, I do not thank Him immediately and then later it will dawn on me that I'm fine and then the thank-you's go up. God really shouldn't be an after thought.  I always stand in awe of how babies are formed in their mothers womb - ten fingers and toes, eyes, nose, working organs. That alone is a miracle - the fact that in 9 months a woma...

  "Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the scriptures say, 'I will take revenge, I will pay them back', says the Lord" It's so hard to be still when we feel we have been wronged. It's almost natural to want to react. There has always been fierce debate about the death penalty, do we as human beings have the right to take a life of a person who took the life of another. Christianity is clear on this but does it feel fair? It does not, especially for victims and their families. We see how some families though are able to forgive, it's truly incredible and this is God at work.  As Christians, we are guided by Gods Word. It's clear that God wants us to live in peace and leave revenge to Him. It can be hard to "let things go" but we should remember by choosing peace, we are not condoning the wrong done to us or forgetting the pain suffered at the hand of another. By choosing peace we are freeing ourselve...

  "We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them." Sometimes we set ourselves up for disappointment. We speak about something too soon, we reveal too much of our plan and then feel bad and embarrassed when things don't work out as we had planned. Often we speak out of excitement around people we think we can trust and that's okay but there is power in keeping some things to ourselves and even more power in taking our hearts desires to God in prayer and asking Him to make provision for them in accordance with His will.  When God makes us wait for something, we can find ourselves feeling frustrated and growing impatient because He is not delivering on our time. We feel stuck, we feel that God is not working, that He has forgotten about us. This is furthest from the truth. Our disappointment is often God's appointment! He never stops working and will reveal His perfect plan to...

"Honour the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce." Jesus is working all the time- He is protecting us from unseen evil, He has planned our futures and is walking with us everyday. Sometimes we forget this but He never forgets about us. We are constantly on His mind because He loves us that much.  The Word, tells us not to worry and yet so often we are overcome with anxiety for the future, worrying about what today and tomorrow will hold. When we fall into this trap, let's remember that Jesus is working all the time, that He is protecting us and has hope for our futures.  It is easy to get lost in our own thoughts but here God is asking us to honour Him and by so doing - by honouring Him in everything that we do - we are to constantly and consciously carry Him in our hearts and minds, instead of constantly worrying. By offering our best to Him we are showing Him that He is important to us.  How do we honour God with our wealth? Tit...

Girls, I’m not gonna lie, I'm so happy that bigger handbags have made a comeback. The crossbody bags were starting to hurt my shoulders and I never got round to purchasing the perfect moon bag (fanny pack). The smaller handbags are also quite limited for space even for the mere essentials – lip-products, cellphone, wallet and keys. Like with everything, there are pro’s and con’s…a bigger handbag means a whole lot more room to carry stuff but when you’re a mom and a wife, your bag becomes the family bag – the good old “I don’t have space in my bag” excuse no longer works!   It is convenient not having to lug around more than one bag which was the case when mini-bags were on trend, I remember taking a mini-bag to the office but keeping my wallet and keys in my laptop bag because the mini was not practical but rather cute and fashionable. Keeping a bigger bag neat can also be challenging and many smaller essentials, like lipsticks or keys ending up at the bottom of it, making them d...
