Picture Quote - #MomentsLikeThis


People like me, (especially those that grew up within the confines of the church walls + in this part of the world) have these worship lines all crammed up in our heads. I remember my Sunday school teacher (+ her cane) teach us what to say whenever it is time to worship, and asks us to repeat these words over and over again. I still feel these lines imprinted in my head, so even subconsciously i have words to utter from the stack of cliches planted in my head.

Well, for some people it's just an accustomed repetition of lines that store up over time.

Trust me, this could get really boring, and it entertains distractions. It makes you feel like you are worshiping even when your mind has wandered away, this can be attributed to the repetition of the same words everyday.

Worshipers, get real with God. Don't feel obligated to speak when silence floods your heart. keep your words real and true. Allow eulogies to well out from the depths of your spirit, consciously

.                                       "Our worship Shouldn't be a repetition of cliches
                                            but a verbal expression of our deepest
                                                      intents at the moment."


Blessings!

Picture Quote: JOY IN HOPE


Just one of those words that come to mind - JOY IN HOPE
The joy that hope brings surmounts every possible doubt or mountain of gloom.

so, when you find a glint of joyous moment on a dark day,
hold on to it all day long.

Blessings!

Tribute to Mothers (BY Abigail Wallace)


From a Mother to her Mother...

Push, Push, Push,
You heard the midwife say.
You pushed with every inborn strain,
As all of nature stood still,
Poised, hovering, in tranquil,
Waiting to sing the refrain.
There was no stopping until,
You heard the midwife say,
“It’s a girl”

Mother!
The name suddenly echoed in your ear,
As your teardrops touched my nose
Mother!
That name, oh so dear,
Precious as the most perfect rose
Mother!
The song you will always hear,
From the day your arms first held me close

Your life would never be the same,
Everything would change.
But all you have is praise
For the gift of life,you have to raise
So, you reached deep into you,
To the strength God has put in the name.
Yes, it was well within your range
To shape the life God had given you.

Mother!
Your bosom is a rest so rare.
Mother!
You alone can give me tender care.
Mother!
Your heart is laid bare
Mother!
To embrace your child,so dear

The miracle of birth
Is but a fusion of the divine and human.
For heaven fuses with earth
When a seed is taken by a woman,
The wonder of motherhood,
Is but a revelation of the nature of God
Nurturer, Sustainer, Protector, Friend and Rock.
