I was surprised both by the imagery he created and the fact that he knew what a wrecking ball was used for! But it drew me to a scripture: Last night we were looking at Psalm 27: 1...and I asked my 7-year-old son to explain to me how God is our stronghold and refuge...and he said to me "God is a wreaking ball...He destroys anything that comes against us...!

 So...I watched Being Mary Jane today. I am not really a fan because I do not agree with some views carried on the show but today's episode spoke to me which is why this post!  Lots of times people ask us, 'how are you doing'? And the response is 'I am fine', 'great', ‘absolutely amazing'! Sometimes we quote our religious refrains ''I am blessed and highly favored', 'blessed beyond measure', ' I am lifted'...and on and on....No offense I am a believer and I speak the language too...! But the truth is, you are not fine! You lie and say you are happy, you smile and say things are fine...but you are carrying a heavy burden, you are carrying a weight that you cannot share! You are hurting, and the burden is crushing you under its weight...! If you do not speak soon, that weight will snuff the life out of you!.  The world we live in is increasing becoming everyone for himself and God for us all. Even the African community which is ...

 So...I had to chase my 3 year old around the house in order to spank her for disobeying me...she decorated the living room with water.... I had a cane some where that her sibling had hid, so I decided to punish everyone, for :            1. Hiding the cane, 2. Protecting her while I was chasing her. They were all crying and screaming and running around.. and away from the cane whilst taking their sister along....! Inspite of the punishment and the tears, ten minutes later she knocks on my door and asks,   "can I come in"? I ignore her. She comes in any way...and goes" I am sorry I disobeyed you..."!       I Ignore her! She then goes, "I wont do it again"!    I say ,"it's ok, I forgive you '! Then she moves on immediately..." what's that? Can I put it on...'?           I reply"when you're a mommy"!  What struck me....? The fact that I had just chased her around the house while s...

 You would have to forgive me...motherhood changed me!!! I used to be very logical and factual and organized! Until children came...I transformed into someone that even I do not recognise sometimes! I can now watch my child turn my living room into a swimming pool..,a bedroom, or a cloakroom or even a kitchen!...without having a heart attack!!!! As I picked up my  daughter this morning and remembered all the havoc the children have caused just within this lockdown...and how still I am choked with emotion when I think of how much I love them... I imagine how much havoc we have caused our heavenly father, how many times He has cleaned up my, your mess;  how many times He did not allow you to reap the consequences of your actions and inaction; how many times He has and continually, watched over us and delivered us from wars we were not even aware of...! Do not let anyone lie to you or clobber you with guilt! God loves you too much to leave you!   God knew you would...

One of the greatest miracles that a person can be given is breaking out of a relationship. I use the expression 'breaking out' because most people do not deliberately walk out of a relationship. It takes an intervention completely outside the control of the affected party for them to realize that it is time to say good bye. Everyone has a relationship which needs to be broken out  of. The relationship that is my preoccupation here is the one that keeps you from being everything that you should be...one that is addictive, dehumanizes  and abuses physically, emotionally or mentally. Sometimes there is need to momentarily step back from the relationship in order to seek help, strength or heal; and in some cases, to re-strategize  and deploy external forces to control or bring a stop to the unsavory situation God told Abraham to end a relationship! He was instructed to leave his Country, father's house, kindred and relatives in Genesis 12:1-3AMP [1] 'NOW in Haran the L...
