It’s been a while since I’ve posted…

So much has happened.

So many eye-opening experiences.

So many moments to hold onto and cherish.

So many times I wished I was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

So many times I wished I could’ve seen what was coming to stop the nightmare of epic proportions.

 

But, that wasn’t to be…

 

And so there I was in the thick of things.

Feeling like a ton of bricks had been thrown in my face at lightning speed.

Feeling like for just one minute things could be different.

Feeling like time could stand still and someone could wake me up from what felt like a bad dream with each passing second.

 

But, that wasn’t to be…

And so there I was in true “me-mode”.

Doing what I do best and holding onto what I know is right and true… my faith.

 

I prayed. I cried. I fasted. I worshipped. I gave thanks. Repeat.

 

And so I’d like to encourage someone who finds him/herself in a precarious situation, this too shall pass. You shrug, but it’s true.

Certain situations and experiences are best avoided (if we were not living a purpose filled life) but if they are part of your Divine journey then it’s best to embrace it, learn what you need and evolve…

 

Thank you for taking the time to read.

The last few weeks have been anything but dull or boring.

When life unexpectedly surprises you… yip, it’s been those kinda days.
Not that I mind.
Oh no… my heart just oozes more and more gratitude.

I’m currently on deadline with a major project and as the time ticks on so do my shattered nerves.
The truth is I like it this way; some of my best work is done under extreme pressure.

Today, my song of choice is by Bill Withers (Lovely Day)… the louder I turn it up, the more relaxed and in control, I feel.
I hope you enjoy it:

Thank you for taking the time to read.

This Christmas will go down in the book of memories as one of my best. Ever.
I won’t bore you with the details other than to say, to God be the glory.
Truly, He still works in mysterious ways… and for that I’m most thankful

As the year slowly draws to an end and we look forward to the promise of 2016, my prayer for you is to:

*Continue to walk and bask in God’s grace
*Open your heart to give and receive unconditional love
*Remember that somebody loves you
*For the singles: somebody is praying to meet someone just like you
*Embrace the gift of each moment
*Enjoy the beauty of a sunset or sunrise
*Look for the rainbow after each storm
*Increase your faith
*Spend more time in prayer
*Spend more time meditating on the Word
*Choose always to live on purpose
*Laugh more
*Be courageous
*Cherish friendships
*Walk with confidence
*Shatter any self-imposed limitations
*Spread kindness
*Be a cheerful giver – of time, talent and self
*Hug more
*Talk less and listen more
*Sing more (even if it’s only in the shower)
*Ask for help
*Keep those boundaries intact
*Let go of those ties that are cut for a reason
*Take time out for you
*Sleep more
*Eat more chocolate
*Read at least one book a month
*Treat yourself as often as you can
*Always count your blessings
*Remember that you are a son/daughter of the Most High
*Immerse yourself in the favour that follows you
*Wake up each day with the knowledge that it’s your time
*2016 is the year of one miracle after another… no ear has heard or eye has seen what the Lord has in store for those who choose complete obedience
*More than anything else, I pray that you are always blessed with good health (body, mind and spirit). There’s no substitute for good health

Thank you for taking the time to read.

I love singing.

Whether it’s at home, driving or sitting in my office. The thing is I can’t hold a note; let’s just say I wasn’t first in the queue when the musical talent gene was being dished out. But, still I sing…

Nothing makes me happier than selecting a few of my favourites and keeping them on repeat.

Soaking yourself in praise does wonders for your soul and always offers a new perspective on a situation. When you to choose to drown out the noise of the world and get lost in your praise, the journey becomes that much more enjoyable.

At the moment, I’m listening to Israel Houghton and William McDowell; and I know these songs will get your foot tapping and reignite the Fire within.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Blessing, Breakthrough, Divine plan, fabulous, favoured, God, Overflow, season, Sing, Victory, wisdom, Worship

This is just a little reminder that as you continue to walk into your season of overflow (there’s no looking back – roger that!)… that patience is key.

When life happens, you may well be tempted to do things differently… and your mind might give you 1000 000 reasons to justify something that’s not part of the Divine plan.

Stop.

Resist the urge to deviate from this path or, act impulsively.

Find refuge in worship/ quiet time with the Father. Some of my favourites include: Don Moen (Be Magnified), Israel Houghton (Overflow), Vashawn Mitchell (Nobody Greater), Tamela Mann (Take it to the King)…

If you stumbled upoon this page then I’d like to encourage you:

You are on the final home stretch… can you see the finish line and the chorus of angels cheering?!

Your breakthrough is closer than you think.

Stand firm.

Oh wonderful person reading this, please know that the complete and utter joy that will fill your days once you’ve learnt, accepted and are willing to live through the lessons from your wilderness, is beyond anything that you could possibly imagine.

No matter how daunting the trials may appear it’s not over till God has the last word.

Keep your eyes on the Cross… expect only great things and as you continue to mature in the Lord, know that not only are you guaranteed of victory… but He will also give you the wisdom and strategy to take the next step.

Stay fabulous and favoured x
