FIRST KISS

It had nothing to do with me standing in the moonlight
In fact, the sun awoke me that day, with its refreshing rays that brought delight
And when the time had finally come,
This is what I had to say:
I stand before you here and now
Pretty nervous though but ready to make my vow
To the one man, that chose to be a warrior above all else
By guarding my heart, propelling my focus toward God and nothing less
I stand before a cloud of witnesses to testify of one thing
This queen has found someone to position as her earthly King
He walked up to me on day one
Claimed me to be shinning bright like the noon day sun
But I brushed him off and sent him on his way
Thinking that it was some sort of game he wanted to play
He kept on persisting, every night and day
Until one day, I chose to stop being stubborn, and hear what he had to say
It wasn’t anything much other than a “hallo”
And at that point in time, I was quietly uttering, “Oh, no”
I walked away hurriedly, but He took me by the hand
The look in his eyes, made me understand
He wanted something
Wanted it so bad, to the point of pleading…

Fast forward to this moment right here that was once just a dream
I can confidently state that, I wanted no other but him
My friends laughed at me, when they had almost all the men and I had none
But now they are all gone, and I stand tall, with my beloved One
Today, I kiss good-bye the moments I spent my nights all alone
I say good-bye to the times I wished I had one to call my own
Its good-bye to the many times I wished I’d hear the ring of my telephone
No more wishing; no more dreaming, my once cold nights are all gone
He is here
Not just here, but here to stay
And I promise to love Him in every way
You may now kiss your bride…
A lil’ bit delayed but for this reasons
He was lost in the view of my beautiful brown eyes
By this time, my blood was rushing through my body, at levels so high
Sliding his hand down my cheek
I admit, to some extent, I think I became weak
He then leaned forward
And oh boy didn’t I feel awkward
Breathed me in
And I had no choice but to give in
Pretty shy
At that moment, and if you were any where close you would understand why
And when our eyes closed, our lips met

ALL THIS WAS AT THE ALTER…..
TRUST ME WHEN I SAY, IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT
I had to smile realizing it was my first
And burst with joy, knowing that it was not at any given point going to be my last.

THE WHISPERS BEFORE THE SHOUT

Hey you! 😃 Has anyone checked in on you today? Or better still have YOU checked on you today, or lately? If not, well then this is a reminder to do so; to create time in your schedule to hold your heart, mind, body and soul as an offering to God in prayer and allow it to be searched, comforted, and mended so that you can operate wholly and holy. Quarter one of 2025 is coming to an end; a palpable shift hangs in the air with testimonies within it being starkly different. For some, the journey has been a smooth glide, a serene cruise through calm waters. For others, they are overwhelmed by life having launched into a sprint at the beginning of the year; and now, they are finding themselves breathless amidst a landscape of boundless potential. I discovered something interesting lately; while many of us are knowledgeable of the truth and necessity of slowing down, there is a fear and guilt attached to this God ordained activity called rest. We are afraid to rest because we fear that if we...

SERVING ON EAGLE'S WINGS

It’s funny, how much seems to come to life, when you sit back and observe people and things for a while. You never quite get to witness how life unfolds when you’re busy trying to make major ends meet. It’s understandable though, that’s just how the cookie crumbles these days. The hours of the day are filled with “busy bodies”, clogged minds trying to generate ideas while at the same time create solutions for problems that seem to be cropping up quicker than them. Life is a continuous evolution; not much appears to be the same. Though amidst the unending amendments it causes us to make, I still repeatedly find myself asking these questions, who I’m I? Why I’m I here? Where I’m I going? Sometimes I think I have the answer to these questions, though as life unfolds I then realize, only God has the answers. He will continually remind me who I am in Him. Even then, if I fall prey to trying too hard to be someone else, the reflection I get from His mirror of who I am defies all els...

27:1 'UNEARTHED'

The motive behind any kind of establishment is the determinant of its upward thrive or downright downfall. When it comes to human beings, why you choose to embark on a journey of friendship with someone is part of the foundation that can either withstand the tests of time, or like the house built on sand, be washed away by the winds and storms of life. (Matthew 7:26:-27) Friendships are and will always be tested-but what is actually under trial is usually the motive behind the friendship. There is a purpose for everything-including friendship. And until we accept that there is a ‘why’ attached to the ‘what’, we will always classify friendship as a casual part of our everyday life when in real sense, there is a purpose for everyone you meet-whether for a season or for destiny. And so I reiterate what I mentioned earlier in my previous post , that when you walk with God closely, He may reveal to you people with whom you will; 1)        ...
