Snip the Skipper

Finally!

Been trying to post for the few days phew but the new post option was not co-operating.

Now that it decides to be nice to me, I've got no time :(. Looks like another busy work day for me.


Can't a girl just read for a living? Won't that just be fun? (Don’t I just wish?)


Anyway, enough of my whining.



I've been having a really good time with FL these last few days. I realise He has been trying to catch my attention but I'm always too busy doing a lot of "nice" things. Only I have been neglecting what is truly important.



Fancy forgetting how to breathe? That is exactly what I have been doing, and then I wonder why I am so worn out at the end of the day.



Just some days ago I was running around frantic and in the midst of it just as I by the way thing, I whispered a prayer- God save me and I heard "Breath".

Now I don't fancy myself as a really deep person or anything like that but at that moment I knew that was exactly what I needed and only one person could have known that. - My First Love.



I heard an analogy yesterday and it clearly depicts what I often find myself doing.



Picture this, I'm taking a walk with my really cute puppy. The puppy (let's call it Snip)

So Snip is excited to be out, the path is really any dog's idea of a dream world.



As we head into the woods this warm evening, the crunching sound of leaves underfoot, the drizzle of 30 minutes ago has left the ground moist and the air nicely fragranced with the not quite dusty-woody smell. Squirrels and other furry little creatures are popping out of holes from various angles and running off who knows where. The birds seem to be having fun singing sweetly in the trees.

Of course Snip is tickled pink with all these activities happening all around.



So he decides my pace is not fast enough, he is chewing the leash, tugging and pulling for all he is worth and has gotten the leash all twisted, he barks excitedly at everything that we come across.



Now does Snip know where I'm doing? Of course not, yet he tries to drag me along to the path he believes is fun and he wants to go even if it means leaving the pathway.



Often times, I am exactly like Snip, FL has the leash but I am too impatient to just let Him guide my direction, I jump and skip, turning around in circles chasing my tail, I've got grand and lofty ideas that lead straight into a pit, but I am too short sighted to see it.



Snip gets himself all worked up, yet he ends up going my way, he tugs and pulls forgetting it is just a cute furry puppy. In the end I am just like Snip, a little girl, desperately in need of her FL.



I don't know the way, I can't even find it by myself even if a map is drawn for me, yet I don't want to be guided. What if I go down that path, I would get so lost, that all the search and rescue teams won't be able to do anything for me :)



So that's one lesson I am finally getting my head around.



In case you are wondering, now I am breathing.



Y'all don't forget to breathe ok.

10 Lil things about me

1) I love God- that is one thing I cannot say I fully understand or comprehend but I am learning more each day what that sentence means and praying to live it

2) I love ML- he is such a sweetheart. Love such a big word ehe but I chose to love him and guess what? I enjoy loving him.

3) I enjoy reading- now that is a mild way of putting it. Maybe you will understand better if I say I'll rather read than eat.

4) Writing is one of the most beautiful things next only to my number 5. It allows me be me. The ink neither complains nor does the pen cringe as I divulge my numerous imaginations and ideas.

5) Sea, ocean about any large water body especially in it's gentle state. Rolling waves and gentle breeze, hmm I can almost taste the salt. A totally idyllic view.

6) I like blue, white, pink, red and almost all colours in between but Blue just stands out. It is such a soothing colour. I can like almost anything blue. The lighter the shade the better :)

7) I talk to myself like all the time- not the in your head type conversation only but speaking out loud type too. I bet everyone does that right ;)

8) I totally detest high heel shoes , mehn I have concluded it is just someone's idea of punishing us ladies especially in the corporate world. Where are the trainers please?


9) I think food is such a bother and sleep is a waste of perfectly good time unless of course it is at night.

10) I enjoy singing, listening to good music and of course dancing makes a good accomplice to those two.

Y'all have a great weekend.

I'm back

Hey,
Been a long bit right?
It has been been an crazy/ busy/interesting last few weeks, but I am back now, me think :)

Will do a full post real soon but for now, you could listen to the song that says all that is in my heart right now- Give you more by J Moss

Tomorrow

Who know what tomorrow holds?
Who even knows for sure what the next minute carries in its bosom?

Each day we live like blind bats, flying round hoping to land on a rich feast

Hoping to find the utopia often talked about.

Yet who would find it?

What distinguishes that one person from the next?

All lies in mystery.

Answers we may never know
But one thing we all know
Tomorrow we hope to see

We hope it brings joy
We hope it promises greatness
But most importantly we hope we know tomorrow.

See you all tomorrow :)

Alas, He Died

It was a long weary day, for He knew what was about to happen. It had been told Him as He had for my sake dropped his jewel of Omnipotence. He had to sit with the Father to peep into what ordinarily was readily at His disposal.

This sacrifice He made for me is oh so mighty but you know what I did not care!

With the weight of this revelation weighing on His mind, He was burdened and in agony as He could not fit this into what part of saving people or good plan this was but He knew there had to be more.

So He departed with three close friends to unravel the mystery of the revelation but He could not just be there but had to walk long miles as he gave up the switch of OMNIPRECENSE so that He won't freak me out.

He knew somewhere in His mind that He was the King yet could not explain to any where He left His crown and glory. For doing this would have further sent me far from Him.
He loved me oh so dearly.

He got to understand betrayal like I do because His best friends were of no comfort or help to Him when He needed them most they just Had to sleep. While another schemed to give Him away for money.

He could have kept them awake but He had given up His master key that allows Him access to keep their minds on fire.
He gave up much more than just His life when He saved me. He gave up everything and in exchange for what I wonder
Poor, old, wicked and wretched me.

Oh that thought is too great for me, to mighty for me to understand
That the Creator would become as a created just to hang out with me, to feel my pains, to save me from myself.
Giving up his Royalty, Power, All knowing and Ever present, His Word that made all things.

Becoming a baby in the womb of His creature, from that moment He gave up all the benefits of being the Script Master, Director, Controller, Creator, even the company of the God heads. The Trinity split because of me!

Just walk with me try to picture this if you can, three amazing thrones made of substance that my wildest imagination has not been able to conjure. Diamond, platinum, gold, silver and all the precious stones put together have nothing on the component of these thrones.

Thirteen million angels constantly worshiping and praising along with all other creatures in heaven. The robes of all three cannot even be looked at because even the sun is pale in comparism to on the radiance emanating from their awesome presence.

Then the Father says He wants to save me but the picture He has painted of how the salvation will look like made even the Avenging angel to shudder with fear.

They all see me with my constant defiance, there most certainly no way anyone was willing to leave the gathering for a piece of crap like me so they keep worshiping and thinking, hoping and most fervently desiring that the Father will forget about this new quest of His.

Oh they were not there at the beginning when I was fashioned, they did not see the grand plans the Trinity was privy to that, just as the worshipers thought the Father must be changing Him mind by the unexplainable catch in their breaths and the brilliance of the presence that was already too mighty for them yet it suddenly intensified to the degree that they all had to remain face down to the ground and still as though dead but the floor as shaking everything was shaking little did they realize that the Son as they knew Him had moved and was about to change everything they knew. He got up from His throne, got down to the worship arena and knelt bowing before the God head. It was just His movement that stilled everything and sent a chill down their backs. But when He said I will go
I can only imagine the terror and wonder in their
minds, saying "Why would He?"

Because of me Christ knows something I never will- God turning His back on Him.
The heavens was agitated waiting only for a signal from him to break him free from the cross but He gave no signal
And Friday night He Died.
The earth knew it and the heavens was silent.
Alas He died!

Love’s Conquest

I fear what I see
I fear what is hidden
I fear what is assumed
But all the fear feeds on is my imagination

I refuse to be cowed by fear
I refuse to be crowded by fear
I refuse to be conquered by fear

Is it that fear ceases to exist
Is it that fear is but a myth
Is fear really so weak
Then I wonder how fear makes me fear

I am the Princess how can I fear
I live in His palace no fear can reach me
I love so fear cannot stay
Fear flees when my love is perfected

I face my fear
I fight my fear
I frustrate my fear
Till the fears fear me.

I love so I speak
He loves so He promised
His love has come to perfect my love
So fear flees because I love

To Love

Hey, how are you all doing?
Been away for a bit. Hope y’all have fun plans for the “special” weekend?

Anyways whatever it is make sure you have fun.

Here’s a quick note for the 2 loves in my life. One Perfect the other imperfect but both more than I could ask for. Thank you FL- You are awsome

My darling Love
Loving you
It’s not something I need to deliberate on
It’s not something I need to be convinced about
I love you not just on the high days
Not just on the great days
Not only for the smooth sails
But for all trails
Loving you is simply what I do

I love you when I am excited
Even when the days are dull
When the mood is low
And when the pain won’t stop
It is a decision I have made
Not a whim I follow
I love you
This I say with all joy.

FL
Loving you is more than I could explain
Your love for me is more that I can comprehend
Even when I am not in my best behaviour Your love does not stop
It does not cease even for a moment because if ever it did I would be dead
Your love is unconditional

I want to love the way You love
Not minding my weaknesses
Or my shortcomings
Not minding my constant questions
And ever so frequent straying

I need to live my life loving You
In my words
In my deeds
In my thoughts
And my ways

May Your love consume me till Your love is made perfect in me.
To my First Love, You truly are my everything.

Tolumide says a bit about that love here. Enjoy!
