When we link arms with one another many things can be ACCOMPLISHED..

About a month and a bit ago I was asked by a friend Gerald if I knitted scarves as well and initially I thought he was inquiring about himself and I then tagged him in a few Neckwarmer pics that I have made before however he was not inquiring for himself he was however inquiring about 50 scarves for homeless people. Initially I was a bit apprehensive and I told him I will pray about it and get back to him.

However prior to him asking me about this project I had already been seeking God about something I wanted t o do and Gerald’s ministry would benefit from it however I only shared this with Gerald once we had agreed to me making the 50 scarves. After I said yes I was like Lord “HOW?” How am I going to make these scarves and on top of it I need to study to prepare for exams. That is when I asked Gerald what is my time frame and he said “Mid June” and I was like “OK”.  I did tell him that I am in the midst of my exams.

Soon after that my Mom said she will donate 10 scarves worth of wool, I donated 10 of my own and then the rest well God provided funds for the wool and also He provided hands to knit.  We even had another lady donate a pack of wool of 5 balls. My sister in-law heard that I was busy with this project and she offered to knit as well, later on she recruited her other sister Trudy and a close family friend Pam who loves knitting. My Mom also decided to help knit and she picked up her needles after years of not knitting.

So in the midst of exams and five ladies by my side knitting away we finished the order of 50 scarves and we were so proud of ourselves. I learned that two is better than one and when we link arms with one another many things can be accomplished...

God does not do anything without providing for it first. If He asks you to do something you best believe that HE will provide!!
Every time I picked up needles and wool to knit the scarves the word DIGNITY would flash in my mind. I personally believe that God wants to restore DIGNITY to His people. While we were the people knitting the scarves I know that God used us in this project to be His hands to successfully complete over 50 scarves. We often take for granted the warm clothes we have, our resources to have us protected in Winter. We take for granted to gift of having a house/a roof over our heads many do not have this.

I have been immensely humbled by this experience of knitting for a Cause and I believe it is a start of many to come. We will be knitting more for many Causes in the future. For God’s glory.
Saturday we went to deliver the scarves and hand them out just seeing the smiles on the people’s faces was so heart-warming having a single item to keep warm meant so very much to them and that I give God praise that I heard His voice and I obeyed no matter the cost.

It was great to be a part of a cause that makes a difference in people’s lives and you can see the impact that Hope Street is making in these people’s lives. I look forward to many occasions where we will be lending a hand as a family to help where we can. You can also be of help to this Cause. I believe that if we put our hands in God’s hands miracles will happen.

What is in your hand that you can use to be of HELP to restore DIGNITY to people?

My 2018 Lessons learned..

Tonight I have so much joy in my heart, as I reflect on this year. We have had so many setbacks yet God ordained our come back. We are on the verge of entering a new season and I am so expectant within my spirit. I cannot contain the excitement. This year has taught to love my family, my husband, my kids and my mother and not forgetting my Bestie Bianca. These were the ones who stood by me this year when I was down and out they picked up. My best friend has been a sister to me in word and deed God has strengthened our relationship so much. The ones whom I thought were my sisters they fell by the way side and made me wiser. Life showed me who will show up and support me. Through all of our setbacks and trials I have learned to trust in Jesus more and less on man. GOD HAS allowed me to accept the things I cannot change and accept people for who they are. GOD has taught me to forgive quickly and continue to pray for the ones who persecute me and cause me harm, God has taught ...

He works all things out...

And just like that my life has changed, from dreaming of becoming a Teacher and having my own class things changed just like that. I survived my first full week at school. Days of preparation and laying of foundation. As I sit and type these notes, my heart is so full. I am filled with immense gratitude to God for paving the way for me. I work with the most amazing colleagues who have the love of education rooted deep within them. The lesson I learned this week is that preparation is key, if I want my day to flow the next day, I need to prepare the day before so that I can get everything done. When one has had so many trials along the path of life it's hard to believe that relief is here and that it's just teething process we have to get through now. God does give you the desires of your heart when you trust Him to do so. When we submit our plans to Him, He works out a perfect plan  for us. He promises in His word that He will work all things out for our good (Romans...
