Waiting for the storm to pass

Dearest reader,
     Life is full of ups and downs as we all know. Sometimes its cool, cozy, sunny, breezy and all but there are times when its just stormy.... Real storm! That time when you feel it's over and everything seems to work against you. What do you think should be done at this point? Give up? No!!! One of my favorite quotes has it that "when you give up when its winter, you'll miss the promise of spring, the beauty of summer and the fulfillment of fall"
      My sincere advice is that you wait. I know waiting is not easy and many don't like the idea of waiting. This is easily seen in the bank and public gatherings where people prefer to take 'short cuts' and overtake those who arrived before them so as to avoid waiting. But in life, 'waiting' is one process that can transform and shape our lives. The caterpillar has to wait and pass through a process before it becomes a beautiful and colorful butterfly.
     There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. He lost almost everything he had, even his wife told him to curse God and die but in the midst of the storm he said " all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come". He actually waited and remained faithful to God. Yes, the Lord blessed him more than he had lost (Job 42:12).
     Dearly beloved, the finances, good health, marital favor, fruit of the womb, academic success, job offer and that answer to your prayer. They will all come with peace of mind attached. All you have to do is... WAIT!!! Wait on God.

Love always,

THINK OF THIS

How good is a house if its not a home How good is a tree if it bears no fruits How good is a garden if it has no flowers How good is a clock if it cant tell the time How good is are friends if they cant care and share How good are eyes if they cant be used for sight How good are ears if they cant be used for hearing How good is a nose that cant be used for breathing How good are legs if they cant be used for locomotion How good is a mirror that cant reflect images How good is a phone that cant be used for calls How good is a heart that cant pump blood How good is a book that cant be read How good is a youth without a dream and How good if your life if you are not living for Christ Remember a life without Christ is a life in crisis written by Alice Asuquo 

THE PRESENCE OF LOVE

When you are in love with someone, a walk in the rain becomes a welcomed chance to share an umbrella. An unexpected snow-storm provides the setting for a quiet afternoon snuggled in front of the fireplace together. What could be bad times are good when you are with the one you love. In the same way, a growing relationship with God and appreciation for His presence beside you can give you a whole new outlook on life's storms. From a short-lived cloudburst to a long and difficult winter, adversity offers yet another occassion to draw closer to the Lord you love - and who loves you even more. Nothing can happen to you that could be too small for this protective hands or big. Nothing you will ever face could be too serious, too difficult or too lasting to keep the warmth and closeness of his comfort away from your heart. When you are in love with someone, suddenly nothing matters quite so much as the fact that you are with your beloved and your beloved is with you.... SOS 6:3 ...

A mother's love

Its a love so divine and true A mother's love cannot be compared to another It is as sweet as honey... A taste that remains palatable Throughout a lifetime Her love is as warm as wool She goes through the hustle and bustle To ensure that life for her child is pretty cool As steady as a rock Mother's love remains unchanged Amidst faults and wrongs of her child She forgives A mother's love is as gentle as a dove She's always there with a dose of love Mother remains patient as Job Through the thick  and thin Even the highs and lows Quietly  teaching  and  correcting  in love For the hope she has ...
