Easter praise ...

as the month comes to a close marking the end of the first quarter of the year,  a month which was declared a month of songs  (by the holyspirit through my man of God whom i love so dearly). it has been a month were we sang songs of praise, songs of worship. We sang in the spirit and celebrated the goodness of God. As we sang we remembered Paul and Silas while they were in jail. They sung songs and we all know how the prison cell shook and they walked to freedom. We joined GOD in singing as we heard  the melodies of his songs in our hearts. YES GOD SINGS TOO! he sings over his children

Zepheniah 3:17 says "The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult(celebrate) over you with singing."

Even as i have prayed and waited on the lord patiently, he has finally put a new song in my heart, a song of victory and i will continue to sing it even way past the month of march, yes! this train is pushing foward and there is no stopping it, not even the physical situations will set me aback, even though everyone else around cannot see and hear this moving train, i see it in my spirit! Oh! bless the lord my soul

Psalm 40:1-3

"1. I waited patiently for God to help me; then he listened and heard my cry. 2. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out from the bog and the mire, and set my feet on a hard, firm path, and steadied me as I walked along. 3. He has given me a new song to sing, of praises to our God. Now many will hear of glorious things he did for me, and stand in awe before the Lord, and put their trust in him"

Even as i sing songs of praise, my heart is full of gratitude for the things God is continuing to do in my life,
never before have i enjoyed such fellowship with the holy spirit as i am doing right now, and because of that he is daily taking me to a new level of glory, the things i used to stumble and trip over, i nolonger do . I have this new understanding and revelation of his word, i nolonger fight the devil but i fight the good fight of faith, because i now know and understand who i am in christ !
It is this my new found identity that makes me feel like am flying each morning that i wake up, so instead of having those monday blues i have everyday morning smiles because i know that my father is singing songs of praise over me ...wow! It's the most wonderful and amazing life i have come to know, its impossile to see myself without God in my life, am most grateful that he has seen me through from what i used to be, to where i am today and up to who i  will be and where i will be tomorrow, that is my sure confidence, future security and assuarance right there. So there is nothing left for me to worry about , all i have to do i just sit back , rest in him and sing malibongwe!! - That's the song that is on my heart right now ..........

Me getting posie.. love my african print dress!

 MALIBONGWE (LET HIS NAME BE PRAISED)

Ngaphandle kwakho (Without you)
Anginathemba, anginalutho (I have no hope, I have nothing)
Wangifela esiphambanweni (you died for me at the cross)
Wangikhipha ezonweni zam (You got me out of my sins)
Ngasho ngahlala nawe(and I got to dwell with you)
Malibongwe igama lakho (let your name be praised)

I Promise Myself…

• To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
• To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to everyone I meet.
• To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
• To look at the sunny-side of everything and make my optimism come true.
• To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
• To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
• To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
• To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
• To give so much time improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
• To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
• To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.
• To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

Finding Fulfillment (Modifying My Mindset)

word borrowed from Treena Reed 







"Along the way I've searched for fulfillment in all the wrong places. I've looked for it in my relationships with my family, my coworkers, my friends, boyfriends; I've sought it by expanding my knowledge, by reading, by traveling, by studying; I've hunted for it in my job, volunteer opportunities, service, and other noble pursuits. I've searched for fulfillment in all these good things, but the one place I failed to look was the one true place it can be found—in a rich, full relationship with God.

I desire to live up to my potential; not the potential I or others see, but the potential God sees in me.

Unfortunately I have become self-sufficient, and too often this stubborn independence seeps into my relationship with God. I believe I can do it on my own, or maybe with a gentle nudge in the right direction, I can continue down the right path on my own. When the inevitable happens, and I find myself lost, I cry out again, “God show me the way so I can walk in it!” But I’ve learned that instead of asking Him to show me the way, I should ask Him to lead me in His way—walking by my side, holding my hand, and carrying me through the tough times.

So join me as I change my mindset and seek fulfillment in a rich, full relationship with God. Join me as I ask Him to walk with me, allowing His will to become fully develop in my life. Only then I can finally embrace and experience the joy of this journey—a journey overflowing with abundant fulfillment that comes from fully embracing God’s will and urgently pursuing an intimate relationship with Him.

Final Thought: Every attempt to find the fulfillment I so desperately sought outside of God left me looking for more, searching for answers, feeling empty and void. Every single attempt ended in disappointment and failure until I looked to God."

AAAAH ..... My God is God!
