If there is a group of people that fascinate me & I enjoy studying in the Bible, its the Israelites. These guys not only pushed God to extreme limits by their constant grumbling & whining but they were such an ungrateful lot. These chaps pushed God's buttons real good and awakened his wrath - Jeremiah 7:20 "Therefore thus says the Lord God, 'Behold, My anger and My wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and [the fire will] not be quenched."  God however had a very soft spot for the Israelites, extending mercy and grace and continually expressed His love towards them - Isaiah 43:4-5 "You are of great worth in my eyes. You are honored and I love you. I will give other men in your place. I will trade other people for your life. Do not fear, for I am with you. I will bring your children from the east and I will gather you from the West. " Completely brings out G...

Ever come across a song that ministers to you and try as you may, you cannot help but have it on replay the entire day? Well, one such song I have discovered today is Neema Yako by Laura Karwirwa. It is a prayer and a very strong declaration. That God, it is your grace that has kept me. Had it not been for your grace, I would have given up. I recognize Oh Lord that it is not by my own strength that I am where I am in life, not because I am better than anyone or not because I am more learned than others but Yesu ni Neema Yako imeniweka. 1 Corinthians 15:10 "But by the [remarkable] grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not without effect". Enjoy :-). Neema Yako By Laura Karwirwa Mambo mimi nimeyaona na macho haya yangu,  Mambo mimi nimesikia na masikio haya yangu,  Mambo mimi nimeambiwa na rafiki zangu,  Mambo mimi nimehisi moyoni mwangu, Yangenifanya mimi kupotea,  Yangenifanya mimi kushushika,  Yangenifanya min iru...

My devotion during QT challenged me much and I felt why not share it and encourage someone who might be going through the same phase. I am a CW - "Certified Worrier"....I unfortunately tend to worry about every little thing, always making sure I plan ahead and try to have everything in place perfectly. Thing with worrying is, since you are always trying to plan and project the future you fail to enjoy the moment. "Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy," Leo F. Buscaglia. You need to make an intentional decision to kick worrying out of your life and instead leave everything in God's hands. My devotion was from Mathew 6:25 - 34. As I was reading through, I couldn't help but feel a heavy load being lifted off my shoulder. You see, for past one week I have been worrying about a certain situation that is unfortunately out of my control, something which no matter how much I want - I cannot control. I have thought about it and ...

I must admit that I unfortunately neglected "The Loved Up Lounge" section on the blog. With the New Year however comes new resolutions so here is mine - I purpose to post more frequently on matters of the heart, {So help me God}. I know it may seem weird that my first post after the long hiatus on Loved-Up- Lounge would be on conflict resolution right? Well, I believe that if only couples could cultivate a culture of handling their conflicts and resolving them in good time; then we would have less hurting hearts and more happy couples. So let's delve into this :-). You meet Prince Charming, he sweeps you off your feet & before you know what hit you, cupid is overly happy with his perfect aim. You are soon head over heels - you enjoy each other's company, can't wait to spend time together and the endless phone conversations become your daily dose of happy which you patiently look forward to. You are bursting with gratitude to God for bringing "Adam...

Happy New Year. 2017 here we are. I am super grateful to God for the blessing of a New Year. It is my sincere prayer that we all had a great holiday. In case for one reason or the other yours was not what you expected it to be, it is well..may the peace and the joy of the Lord be your portion as we start off another beautiful year. For some reason, I ushered in 2017 in a very relaxed - bila pressure mode. I'm still trying to figure out why I had a mental block - try as may, I couldn't make plans for the year ahead {weird right!}. What I found myself doing instead was reflecting on how gracious God had been in 2016. My heart was bursting with so much gratitude thinking of how an Awesome God who has a 2-4-7 job of holding the universe together & taking care of billions of requests across the world found time to shower His love on little me and hold my hand through tough situations. This song was on replay in my heart as we ushered in 2017. Grateful, so grateful fo...
