Continual feast

'He who is of a merry heart has continual feast' - Proverbs 15:15b

That is today's bible verse from daily snippets from the word ( widget on the lefthand side).

Was going to post about my day but when I read that verse, I shanged my mind.

Noe am going to find sites with clean jokes and make merry.

Why dont you do the same, abi you no want continual feast?

....and David encouraged himself in the Lord!!!

'into every life some rain must fall'

Well, it feels like I've been hit by a storm. It has left me feeling a horrible shade of blue all weekend.

My business has been suffering for sometime now. We badly need to recapitalise to be able to compete in the field. This has been the challenge I've been battling with for sometime now. I've tried the banks but not much has come from them. Customers are being lured away and the more we lose customers the less able we are in meeting their needs. The facts are not unknown to me and I've been trying to get a way out.

The rubbing of salt in open wound came on Friday when a member of staff dropped a report on my desk at the close of day. The report was on a meeting they had held, without my knowledge, on the situation of things in the business- as if I didnt already know.

Now am not upset with them for feeling concerned, but I feel dejected because am being reminded of things I have very little control over. I feel that they should have been more sensitive.

All weekend I've been experiencing a cocktail of emotions ranging from fear, anger, defeat and self pity.

In the midst of my inner turmoil, I am reminded of David in 1st Samuel 30:6. This must have been a really distressing time for David, to experience personal loss and yet be blamed for the losses of others. I can easily identify him at this time, someone who has been declared as righteous- 1 Samuel 24: 17-20, now faces a mutiny and the risk of being assainated. He was weak from crying over his losses, whats a man to do?

He did something very strange. He encouraged himself in the Lord. he reminded himself that his God is far bigger than any problem or situation, that his mandate is not from man but from God, that God is faithful and can be trusted in every instance, that even when things are not in line with our own expectations, God's plan for us are far more beautiful than we can ever imagine and though it may seem slow in coming we should wait for it.

David encouraged himself in the Lord and his faith in God grew, his faith was renewed, he sought God, he heard God, he believed God, he followed God's instruction and he was rewarded.

And the moral of this story.....................?

I should stop here, find a quite spot and encourage myself in the Lord.

No one is going to encourage me so I might as well do it for myself

Have a blessed week.

As easy as candy

"As easy as taking candy from a baby"



Who ever said that obviously knows nothing about children or hasnt ever tried taken candy or anything from a baby.



If my earlier post left you feeling like am one of those mamas blessed with an cute adorable girl child then I apologise.

Well, she is quite cute ( dont mind if I say so myself) but sometimes she behaves like a pikin!!!



As I compose this post, I really dont know whether to laugh or be upset or just generally be ashamed of myself( please advise).



Lemme explain the situation:



I havent eaten a proper meal all day thanks to Nepa ( actually I ran out of gas & cant go out to top up the cylinder cos Shafu's ill), so in short am very hungry.



Then uncle J brought a meat pie for Shafu - Uncle J is Auntie T's beau and he is seriously courting Shafu cos she is going to be little bride at their wedding later in the year.



Anyways I had to give the pie to her royal majesty so that she can properly thank uncle J, which she refused to do.



Me, being her very hungry mother who is also insughtful enogh to know that a child of 23 months cant possibly finish a whole pie by herself, then proceeded on the arduos task of trying to score half a meatpie off a toddler. Which is no mean feat I assure you!!!



I tried everything, I begged, cajoled, sang,( talk about singing for ones supper!),danced and even put on my LISTEN-TO-ME-RIGHT-NOW-I'M-YOUR-MOTHER growl, for where ??? Nothing worked. The little madam just turned around went to the other side of the room plopped herself on the carpet - breaking off a third of the pie in the process, nibbling a smidgen and crumbling the rest all over the carpet in an ecstatic glee.



Guess who will sweep the carpet.....................................................



Yep!!! Her hungry, househelpless mother!!! GOD DEY.
