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?

Thought for the day...

When someone shares something with you in confidence don't go jumping on their issues' band wagon, don't make their issue yours, respect their issue in the way it is presented to you don't go making up your own stories because in the end the person who shared with you has made peace with it and you who has now made it your issue is just showing that you are not that "mature" to deal with the information given, examine your own heart and deal with your issue accordingly. We are all different and we deal with things differently and work through things differently so let us respect the differences, doesn't make my way right and your way wrong. It is what it is

I THANK YOU...

Today I have this IMMENSE gratitude towards people whom I have known for a season and whom have now either removed themselves from my life with ill intentions or whom has accepted my way of ending our season. I must say I never thought that some friendship doors that I had to close were laying so heavily on my heart and it was holding me back. I do feel FREE and I am moving forward at a pace that is surprising me, ALL GLORY TO GOD! I have such gratitude towards those people who have moved on for whatever reason and I am so filled with JOY this morning that my soul cannot contain it and I want to speak a blessing over each person whom I have had the honor of knowing but who has now moved on, I pray a blessing of GREAT things to come in your life and I PRAY THAT GOD WILL SHOW YOU MIGHTY THINGS AND THAT YOU WILL STAY CLOSE TO JESUS, IN JESUS NAME,MAY YOU LATTER BE GREATER THAN YOUR FORMER, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN! Just a small ENCOURAGEMENT for those out there who is still holding onto to...

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...
