And it shall come to pass

I was tired this weekend,after a very busy week,and the traffic didn't help at all.Last night,in bed,I realised that I am not always openly thankful to God,I might think about it,but I don't always say it.I am getting tired of waiting for things to get better,to be able to go away and just relax when I feel overwhelmed,wondering if things would have been different if my path had taken the one i dreamt about when I was in University.But with all these different activities going on,I must never forget to be thankful and grateful,because let's be honest,what else can I be.
Yesterday was Mother's day,I was a bit upset,no-one at home said it to me, but then my daughter gave me a handmade card and my son also gave up something he likes just to make me smile,and I liked it.My husband keeps saying he will surprise me, so let me wait for it.I will definitely announce the great surprise when it happens,because even I cannot wait.I will be hopeful and have faith about my life,career,marriage and all that concerns me because I must keep looking up.
It shall come to pass,that my latter days will be better than the former ones.
it shall come to pass that people will call me blessed.
It shall come to pass that my children will be a wonder in and to their generation
It shall come to pass that God's plans for me will be better than the plans I thought were good for me
It shall come to pass that a time will come when I will never have to worry about anything,i am learning to lean on only GOD and I want that to be 150%.
It is well with my family,my future,destiny and dreams

The unspoken words

I am very angry.Armed robbers now seem to think that it is okay to rape women after clearing out their possessions.The police checkpoints have been removed,big deal,I don't see them in countries outside Nigeria.Why must we be different.If I was a superhero,I would destroy a lot of bad people,go green hornet on their butts.
Last week was tiring for me,traffic and waking up at 3a.m just wore me down.Couldn't even attend a women's programme over the weekend,because I was just exhausted.I got grief from one person who I am beginning to get upset with,for the comments she makes,she doesn't mean harm,but always put yourself in the next person's shoes.
I read this from a devotional this morning on work balance- Don't work yourself to death!We need to always take care of ourselves,our bodies are living temples,and overwork brings disease.Overwork is not only imbalance,it is neglect of God's temple.A person can only take so much stress.We must remember this whenever we feel overwhelmed, and to hell with what people will think just because you want to relax.Life is to short .Let us rest and ask The Holy Spirit to help us,show us the way and give us breakthrough.
