God I Look To You..

Today was an interesting day..

In fact, this whole weekend has been..

This morning at church, we heard a word from visiting Pastor, Kevin Gerald; entitled “Favour Forever”.. It struck a chord with me..it was a very powerful message.

This evening, the song I’m sharing with you is called ‘God I Look To You’ and it’s by Jenn Johnson.

This song has been on my mind all day, and I wanted to share it.

I’ve added the lyrics below in case she is a little hard to understand.

Tomorrow starts a new week, new challenges and new journeys. This song is perfect for me as I’m coming to the end of this journey I’ve been on in my education; and lately, I’ve had the tendency to feel overwhelmed.

It’s a new week..and instead of new challenges.. I’m opting to accept the new triumphs that come my way..unlimited favour and an abundance of grace.

I hope you enjoy the song and have a wonderful week

 

God I look to You
I won’t be overwhelmed
Give me vision to see things like You do
God I look to You
You’re where my help comes from
Give me wisdom, You know just what to do

I will love You Lord my strength
I will love you Lord my shield
I will love You Lord my rock
Forever all my days, I will love you God

Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns
Forever all my days Hallelujah

I Am..

Now that graduation is looming..I have quite a bit on my mind..

These past few months have got me thinking so much about a future I was so sure about a few years ago..but now that it’s drawing closer, I’m starting to question.

Deep down, I think I know what I want.. But it just doesn’t seem like it’s within my grasp.

I’m questioning.. almost second guessing myself. A lot.

I often think about if I’d decided on a different course of life.. Would I have had the same experiences.. Been presented with the same opportunities..Met the same people? But I realise that those “What If’s..” are wasted..because they didn’t happen.. and I know the more I think about was wasn’t as opposed to what is..it won’t change anything at all..

Don’t get me wrong..I’m so ready to start life and get on with it.. And I am happy with life now.. But it seems like the end of this chapter is hanging by a thread in the balance as opposed to be poised and standing to attention.

I haven’t written in a while, which I think is where I’ve been going wrong.

I haven’t blogged as much..written anything in my journal or thought of any new spoken word pieces..and I think that the pent-up frustration that usually comes out on paper has now built up to a point where something’s got to give..

I don’t know if I’m certain about anything any more..

And I guess that’s okay..

Right?

 

Right.

 

A Song for Mama..

Mother’s are phenomenal..

Maybe sometimes..we don’t tell them enough..and we should..

Every day..

My mother is amazing..

Here’s a song for her and all the other amazing women out there..

 

..Happy Mother’s Day xx

 

“A Song For Mama“

You taught me everything
And everything you’ve given me
I always keep it inside
You’re the driving force in my life, yeah

There isn’t anything
Or anyone I can be
And it just wouldn’t feel right
If I didn’t have you by my side

You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were grey
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me
And no one else can be what you have been to me
You’ll always be you always will be the girl
In my life for all times

[Chorus:]
Mama, mama you know I love you
Oh you know I love you
Mama, mama you’re the queen of my heart
Your love is like
Tears from the stars
Mama, I just want you to know
Lovin’ you is like food to my soul

You’re always down for me
Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong
Yes you did

And you took up for me
When everyone was downin’ me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on

There were so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you come to me
And say to me I can face anything
And no one else can do
What you have done for me
You’ll always be
You will always be the girl in my life, ooh oh

[Chorus:]
Mama, mama, you know I love you
Mama, mama you’re the queen of my heart
Your love is like tears from the stars
Mama I just want you to know your love is like food to my soul
Never gonna go a day with out you
Fills me up just thinking about you
I’ll never go a day with out my mama

 

From The Inside Out..

I’m really trying not to make this blog a one post a week thing..but it seems like this is what is happening!

I really need to get back into the routine of things..it’s just so busy around here..but  that’s no excuse

Anyway!

Today, my song to you is called From The Inside Out by Hillsong United.

I love this song. L.O.V.E.

 

Take a listen and let me know what you think!

Have an amazing week

I’m Back!

Hey everyone!

It has been the longest while hasn’t it!

I’m back from Nigeria, and have gone straight back into school to catch up on the work that I missed out on.. and I’ve got to hand it to myself..I’m doing pretty well despite the fact that I was told that my Final Year Project was a little (actually a lot!) on the incorrect side, so I’ve had to start again with that..but I guess that it’s okay..better to be told now than just before it’s due!

This evening (or afternoon – depending on what part of the world you reside in!), I’m bringing you another song from the band of the church I go to called ‘Sound of Praise.’

This morning in church, we talked about praise. About how when all else fails, when you are sad, down and out – just open your mouth and praise! When you’re happy – praise! When we let go of that negativity in our lives and open up our ears to hear the sounds of the army of the Lord – there is nothing more powerful than that and your valley will be filled!

 

I hope you all enjoy this worship song and have a wonderful Sunday

Breaking the Silence

It has been a while since I’ve posted something.

Completely unlike me I know.

I’ve come to you all.. On my knees.. Apologising for neglecting you all!

Things have been hectic. I’ve been preparing for a trip I am about to take, I have been sick without knowing why, and now having found out I have an infection have begun my treatment of antibiotics for it.

There have been numerous occasions where I’ve wanted to blog.. I’ve never forgotten, but the energy just wasn’t there.

About two weeks (roughly) ago, it snowed so bad here where I study, that my University shut for the day. Classes did not happen! It was great! I watched an amazing video my University made in honour of “Snow Day” and pretty much stayed in bed all day

*I think the video is absolutely beautiful! Every time I watch it, I smile *

 

Once again, I’d really like to apologise for my lack of postings.. I’ve been swept off my feet already this year by University work, new classes, my part-time job, volunteering and planning my trip to Nigeria..which I’m not sure yet if I’m too excited about.

I leave for Nigeria in around 4 hours with all my medicines and one suitcase in tow.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to blog in Nigeria, but now that I feel like I’m getting better, I want to get back into the swing of things. There’s no more excuses! The nausea has subsided, however there is a dull pain at the infection site of the cyst I have and also minor abdominal cramps caused by what seems like a combination of different factors.

Oh well, life goes on!

 

I hope everyone has been well, and I look forward to catching up with all your blogs and posts soon!

Feels good to be back!

Get Up!

I thought for this Sunday worship I’d jazz it up a little..

This song is called Get Up.. and it’s sung by Mary Mary.

I love the rhythm of this song and the fact that whenever I listen to it, I’m bouncing along with them!

The song basically talks about getting up out of everything and being who you are supposed to be..no smoke..no curtains..no fear..no excuses.

I used to ask myself what I was waiting for in my dreams..my life..my education..I expected everything to just drop into place.. but it doesn’t work like that.

You have to work hard for you.. through that fear, that doubt and lack of self-belief and when you do..the results will be amazing!

Don’t make excuses.. What are you waiting for?
