Stop and Look!

About a week ago, I had phone issues my trackball wouldn't work and I became very frustrated after numerous attempts of not getting the trackball to work I knew I had to either have it fixed by someone who knows about fixing such things or get a new phone, the latter was not an option, I can't afford a new cell phone so I needed to fix the one I had. After a hard day at work I walked into a shop where there is also a cell phone tech dude, for the life of me I don't know how I never even gave a glance towards this guy and I often go to that shop. He resulted in fixing my scroller and what happened after that was all God, you know that moment when you are so frustrated and you just like saying to God 'Lord! When am I gonna get a break?' And you are close to tears and BOOM! Breakthrough happens, well that's what happened to me last week, this guy not only fixed my phone but he was a great part of fixing my eyes upon Jesus and looking through the eyes of the Lord, in my busyness I never stopped and really took note of my environment, how sad is that we all get so caught up in our own lives that we don't see what God wants us to see, in my frustration God had me STOP! He had me HALT and pause 'selah' for a moment to just take in my surroundings and be open to even befriending a foreigner from Iran, the cellphone tech dude who fixed my phone, who has a name, who is a person , who has feelings and who so longs to just be heard, who so longs to belong, who so longs sincerity, who is one of the most humble people I have ever come across, we are friends now and we talk a lot about anything and everything most importantly I started praying for him, I started encouraging him with the word of the Lord, my friend who's name is Honey Shah is Muslim and he is open to be encouraged and just to be listened to. My lesson for the last week is: Do not get so caught up in your own life that you don't see what God wants you to see, allow God to interrupt your normal routine with divine appointments and see how your heart gets changed towards things you've never imagined possible' even making friends with people who can resonate with you, allow God to use you, there is a hurting world in need of love, care a listening ear, are you willing to STOP and look to see what God wants to show you?

It's OKAY not be OKAY...

TODAY is one of those days I don't allow myself to have many of... A day where I am extremely emotional and teary and life seems to have gotten the better of me just for today. I don't tend to dwell on my negatives I am known to be the optimistic one and always positive however today I am far from that. I allow myself to be in this space because in this moments of being emotional and allowing myself to cry because they say tears are healing waters. I am very much aware of my surroundings and giving myself this space to just process every disappointment and whatever else I am dealing with. A close friend and mentor of mine told me a few months ago that I should learn to unpack things as they happen and not bottle it all up and then I explode when things just get too much. As a mother, wife and whatever else I am to whoever it all just got too much. Have you ever gotten to a point where you question "Why?"   "Why do I even bother talking non stop with my k...

No one is always busy...

Such truth in this picture. I saw this picture message on a page I follow on Facebook and it made me think and reflect and I shared it on my page but I didn't elaborate at the time because I was still filled with negative emotions. Then this morning a friend of mine shared it on her page and these are my thoughts about this and I am referring to friendships/relationships with family and just relationships in general. So please allow me to express myself.. What is most difficult to comprehend is that we allow people to have so much space in our lives and they give so little of their time to us...It hurts immensely when you know how committed you are to certain friendships/relationships and you get absolutely the bare minimum and that fact is what is making me walk away from many. Zainonesha had this to say about it " So true...then one has to settle with lame excuses as if our lives are depending on it. Be Honest I would say" Yes I understand that we are all in dif...

Being a MOM

While I pride myself in being a Mom, a nurturer and everything that goes with it, I have been feeling much like a failure of late. My girls (especially the middle one and the eldest one) have been struggling in their schoolwork not the understanding of the work but the self discipline that goes with making progress at school. A week ago I sat on one of the benches at the station and just managing to at that time (7am ) of the morning to write notes to teachers in message books as I had kept the girls at home the previous Friday because I forgot to do it the night before. As I went from one message book t o the next I opened the last one that was my middle daughter’s and here two warnings and a nice message from her teacher stared at me. As I proceeded to read the note I was filled with anger and much disappointment... I completely became one of those ladies that just let it “rip” on the train station and yes the “nasty” mom came out you know the one where you switch to Afrik...
