AMAZING GOODNESS

In 2008 I had become broke such that I went back to live with my parents and I had almost given up and it was so stressful. My brother had to go to Zimbabwe for four months and he needed someone to house sit for him and since I wasn't doing anything I volunteered but he did not leave me any spending money and I believe in God's ability to provide so I packed my bags and went to live in his house.

 On this particular day, I was very low on funds and when I got to the house I had some corn flour but nothing in the vegetable department. I decided to wash my clothes(no laundry machine) and when I was airing them outside to dry on the clothesline I noticed that the garden had overgrown and in my worry that I had to get someone to clear it (meaning me spending money I did not have)  I looked closely and to my delight what looked like weeds was actually a very rare vegetable that only grows in our village and up to today it never fails to amaze me that God actually grew the greens for me when I really needed help.

Two weeks later some high school friends called me up and wanted to come over and catch up and what they had not told me is that they were doing shopping for me to an extent that yoghurt was included in the purchases.

What do you need today? Ask him for help he is available.

STANDING OVATION

I want to take the time and appreciate the individual who came up with the ear plugs, I wonder what kind of noise he encountered until he came up with this invention and for that I take this minute to honor him.

I work in an office that is fairy do what works for you and to hell with everybody else and the earplugs have been a good addition in my handbag and I can't leave home without them, its like someone muted the computer, the traffic sound is stopped downstairs and I am in my space uninterrupted and I can write and for that I am thankful to the inventor.

In my many travel with the train they have helped me relax and read my book seated between two people shouting themselves hoarse and it brings a smile to my face knowing that I have that control.

It’s amazing how much intelligence is in the world that someone can sit and come up with a solution that can be used by many generations to come.

Good and bad must co-exist because if there were no interruptions from sound then the earplugs would be non existent.

UNBELIEVABLE

I went for my lunch break late today finishing up on something important and as I sat in the park, a woman brought her sick child to be prayed for. The child cannot see, hear, talk or walk and the sad part is that he was born normal seeing, hearing, talking and had even begun walking and then one day the mother woke up and that had all changed and now the child is just a shadow of his former self.

The preacher was very passionate praying for this child and then another man appears claiming to be the pastor who preaches in that location and ordered him to pray quickly that it was now his time to preach. People around had their mouth open in shock, how can someone who comes in the name of God be so impatient to be heard that he is not compassionate about the mother of the sick child?

How do you tell the genuine preacher from the fake one?

 A lady in the group could not hold her tongue and asked him why he could not join the other pastor they pray for the sick child and his reply was beyond words. He said that women should not talk when men are talking and that she was not married because she did not know how to submit.

I wish I had more time to witness the child being prayed for and how it ended. My thoughts and prayers are with the mother of the child because it is such a huge burden that she carries everyday seeing her child in that state and not knowing where to get help, I sure hope that she receives that healing for her child.
