Do you ever wake up with your heart smiling? There’s no specific reason other than just oodles and oodles of pure gratitude.

That’s how I started my day…

Soaking up the soothing sight of the vast ocean and feasting on the brilliance of the day unfolding through what seemed like a perfect sunrise.

With each ray I spotted, I got thinking and gave thanks for the countless blessings in my life. Try it sometime… after all, perspective is everything.

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.

Time to thrive…

My favourite times of the day is just before sunrise and just before I head off into dream land (like now).

The house is absolutely still and the calm of the night has a reassuring message.
A message that says you are alive, you survived the brutality of life’s curveballs…
You’ve got what it takes to be victorious – thanks to the Cross and all that it represents.

The past few weeks have been surreal. I have had so many “oh-my-hat” kinda moments coupled with immeasurable gratitude.

We live and learn daily – some experiences are more pleasant than others but ultimately everything we endure points back to Romans 8:28.

Whatever position you currently find yourself in, know that it’s time for the tables to turn.
No more delays.
No more frustrations.
No more tactics to throw you off course.

You’ve stood firmly on the Rock and you’ve persevered so now is YOUR time to rise and thrive!

Embrace it and celebrate. There were moments you felt like throwing in the towel, but the Author & Finisher of ALL things made it clear that He’s not done. In fact, He’s just getting started in pouring out His best for you.

Stay centred.
Stay in His presence.
Stay true to your core being.

Let them talk, let them fabricate all sorts of assertions, let them email, let them conference call, for as long as you stay authentic, the truth will come out. Eventually.

Besides, as someone dear to me said, “eagles have no time to concern themselves with the pettiness of chickens.” So, from this moment on, I hope you choose to renew your strength and rise on up where you belong.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

When last did YOU…

blessings, brave, choose, fabulous, favoured, heart, life, love, question, sky, smile, Soul Sunday, strong, sunrise, sunset, true, world

Waking up to the sounds of the African Fish Eagle makes my heart smile. It’s one of the best things about living in these parts of the world.

In that moment I forget about the challenges facing the world… and I count my blessings.

On this soul Sunday I found myself singing an old song from way back…

Below are the lyrics and a link that I hope will inspire you:

Fill the world with love…

In the morning of my life I shall look to the sunrise.
At a moment in my life when the world is new.
And the blessing I shall ask is that God will grant me,
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through.

(Chorus)
And to fill the world with love
And to fill the world with love
And to fill the world with love my whole life through

In the noontime of my life I shall look to the sunshine,
At a moment in my life when the sky is blue.
And the blessing I shall ask shall remain unchanging.
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through

(Chorus)

In the evening of my life I shall look to the sunset,
At a moment in my life when the night is due.
And the question I shall ask only I can answer.
Was I brave and strong and true?
Did I fill the world with love my whole life through?

(Chorus)

So… when last did you choose LOVE instead of anger, bitterness, manipulation, unforgiveness, gossip?

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Stay favoured and fabulous x
