REFLECTIONS

The evening is streaming in
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city
I lazily lapse into the silence
Under my little cottage
Resting my chin in my right hand.
I wonder,
Oh how I wonder.
I question,
Though the silence responds,
But with vague answers.
My toes twitch
As my thoughts, dart this way and that.
I know who I am
I know what I want.
Though you say nothing
Thus the uneasy state…
My uneasy state.
What I’m I to believe at this rate?
Are you an acquaintance or my real soul mate?
This far I have come with you by my side
Tell me,
Should I let go, or keep walking with pride?
Signs of pain
Appear on my face
If you were anywhere near me
You’d know I’m in dire need of Amazing grace
That grace that once saved a wretch
The kind I feel like now
I feel so lost
Eager to be found
I am blinded
By your so called ‘love’ I hope that I can see.
The sun sends straight rays
Right through my window
I sense,
Not far from now, I’ll be buried in my pillow.
Eyes wet with tears
Fighting aimlessly all my fears
Sobbing with enthusiasm
Hoping in the end you won’t conclude it for sarcasm.
If you see me
Don’t press me to unburden my mind
Some peace and quiet is what I desire to find
If you have that to give,
Quickly then! Come to my side
And let me fall freely, into your loving arms…open wide.

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...

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...
