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...

TOO MUCH

  Why is it so easy to say I’m fine? Hardly do you ever think about it, Effortlessly, it slides from between your lips. Especially, When all that lies around you is witness to the total opposite. Seasons really never last forever, There are those when the party just won’t stop Then others when silence invades, the kind like pin drop. A silence to kill or a silence to heal, A silence that kills, echoes various unheard voices, Screaming piercingly on the inside... The result... is a temporary brain freeze. Silence that heals fabricates unheard melodies, Calm, gentle that are soothing to the soul. I then wonder and it dawns... this is just too much Or is it?   Do I fear too much? Do I care too much? Do I worry too much? Do I question too much? Do I think too much? Do I foresee too much? Do I trust so much? And if I do, will I hurt, just a little too much? Do I wonder too much? Do I give too much? Do I expect too much? Have I love...

THROUGH THE LENS OF GRACE

This right here is a post I wrote on my wall a few days back… “I am probably going to be hated for saying this but for real it has to be addressed. It is sad and rather painful that of late, the trend has been, to celebrate more Baby showers BEFORE we celebrate Bridal showers. Where did we go wrong?” It doesn’t take a one-on-one appointment to have someone open up about their past. Try make a statement in relation to it and you will probably witness a side to them you never thought existed. It will then dawn on you that not everyone who has a glimmering smile on their face, a drop-dead gorgeous body and attractive personality, has been like that from the beginning.   There’s been a growing trend of more baby showers before bridal showers. Many have said its normal, others have said it’s worrying; others have insisted it’s the last days and we need to repent and turn from our wicked ways. In as much as I agreed, I was convinced I hadn’t yet received an appropriate a...
