In my eyes

Heartbeat asked me to marry him.
I don’t even know where to start with this one. I never would have imagined. Oh i was completely unaware of any planning…

Heartbeat and i got engaged in front of a congregation of about 800 people AND on my birthday. It was beautiful and a total surprise for me. When the service was almost over, a friend of ours stood and announced that it was the birthday of one of us and that she needed to go to the podium. I suddenly see my sister coming from one end of the church with a cake in her hands. (Can’t believe she was in on it!) Then heartbeat stands and comes to the front and takes the mic. He wishes me a happy birthday and says how lovely it has been for him to have me in his life then he goes down on one knee, gets out a ring and says

“In front of God and infront of all this people in the congregation, I wanna ask you B (pause), Will you marry me?

By now, the whole church is screaming. I can barely hear myself speak when i answer yes.

So the politicians have been sworn into parliament.
The Internally Displaced Persons (IDP’s) are being asked to move out of their camps.
Civil rights movements are holding demonstrations.
But who is listening? Who really cares? Where will the IDP’s go to? Who will compensate them of their losses? Will the dead come back to life? Is the media helping? Are we as citizens playing our part? The horror stories i have heard over the last couple of weeks have been daunting to say the least. And i refuse to be a part of these fights. Fights for leaders who only care about themselves. Fights for leaders who we (the Kenyan citizens) have elected but can not un-elect. Is this the meaning of democracy?

Disaster!
Who would have ever thought that Kenyans would be reduced to tribal hooligans whose only consuming thoughts would be of vengeance and ‘finishing’ the ‘other’ tribe?
So many have lost their lives, their property, their family, their friends. Who will take responsibility? Will justice prevail?

He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End!

He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!

He is the Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times.

He always was, He always is, and He always will be…

Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!

He was bruised and brought healing!

He was pierced and eased pain!

He was persecuted and brought freedom!

He was dead and brought life!

He is risen and brings power!

He reigns and brings Peace!

The world can’t understand him,

The armies can’t defeat Him,

The schools can’t explain Him, and

The leaders can’t ignore Him.

Herod couldn’t kill Him,

The Pharisees couldn’t confuse Him, and

The People couldn’t hold Him!

Nero couldn’t crush Him,

Hitler couldn’t silence Him,

The New Age can’t replace Him, and

Maury can’t explain Him away!

He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.

He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.

He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.

His ways are right, His word is eternal,

His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me.

He is my Redeemer, He is my Savior,

He is my guide, and He is my peace!

He is my Joy, He is my comfort,

He is my Lord, and He rules my life!

I serve Him because…

    His bond is love,

    His burden is light, and

    His goal for me is abundant life.

I follow Him because He is…

    the wisdom of the wise,

    the power of the powerful,

    the ancient of days,

    the ruler of rulers,

    the leader of leaders,

    the overseer of the overcomers and

    the sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come.

And if that seems impressive to you, try this on for size…

His goal is a relationship with ME!

    He will never leave me,

    Never forsake me,

    Never mislead me,

    Never forget me,

    Never overlook me, and

    Never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!

When I fall, He lifts me up!

When I fail, He forgives!

When I am weak, He is strong!

When I am lost, He is the way!

When I am afraid, He is my courage!

When I stumble, He steadies me!

When I am hurt, He heals me!

When I am broken, He mends me!

When I am blind, He leads me!

When I am hungry, He feeds me!

When I face trials, He is with me!

When I face persecution, He shields me!

When I face problems, He comforts me!

When I face loss, He provides for me!

When I face Death, He carries me Home!

He is everything for everybody, everywhere, every time, and every way.

He is God,

He is faithful.

I am His, and He is mine!

My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.

So, if you’re wondering why I feel so secure, understand this…

    He said it and that settles it.

    God is in control,

    I am on His side, and that means all is well with my soul.

Every day is a blessing  - for GOD Is!

By David Langerfield

You don’t know me!
Looking through my eyes, you don’t trust me.
You’d rather die than take my hand and lead me from this land of destruction and poverty
Why don’t you understand?
You don’t see me.
Look into my soul…
Can’t you see, I’m a man

I am that poor man on the street,
To the rich man, I’m a sinner, I’m a failure and I’m a thief.
Everyday, you all just pass me by
Can’t you see me?
Please don’t deny that I’m alive

You say you love God?
God says “feed him and you feed me”
So why deny me of the very thing i need
I don’t mean no harm
I just wanna talk to you.
Don’t want your money, no,
At least have the decency
To look me in the eyes and not deny that i’m alive

Listen, it’s a hard road to live the life of one that has no name
Before you point your fingers, did you ever stop to think how this happened?
I was living a normal life just like yours; a job, house, car and wife
I never comprehended that I could drop to zero.

So I beg you for a shilling and you deny me again!

My name is poor man.

 

My understanding and thereafter version of the song poor man by SoulJahz

I am a child of the king

Regardless of the situations,

Regardless of whether my faith feels shaky,

Regardless of whether i’m going through the midst of temptation,

Whether I feel like it or not.

I am a child of God, full stop.

Thank you Father, for this wonderful revelation.

Tomorrow is not my business. It is his. Let it rest with him

Consume me,

Consume my thoughts,

Invade my space,

Occupy my mind,

My king, my redeemer

I’m tired, exhausted and drained.

I’m running on an empty gas tank.

Too many responsibilities, too much to do.

Yet they don’t even know they’re overbearing me.

They don’t even know that I’m struggling

They just seem to want more and more of me.

I wanna run away from all this.

So I’m running to you

I wanna get lost in you

Drown me in your love

Restore me.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Mathew 6:33

So, tell me, what are you desperately in need of?
