Start of another school year!

Njuamboh finally gets to ride the bus to school. And this too came to pass.


I don't know about you but this summer for my family was one of a kind. Everything happened to fast and I was that parent doing the last minute back to school shopping. My daughter looked forward to school with all excitement.

I was excited for her but as usual all the craziness of the world crept in. I started to worry about the friends she will make, their background, their values, her teachers, safety, stereotypes etc. Yes, my brain (my natural self) can take me to places that are not pleasing.

The good news is, my spirit started reminding me of this scripture "Cast all (not some) of your anxiety to Jesus for he cares for you". A seed that has been planted in my heart and comes alive when I need it. This seed is what will take me through the school year when fear creeps in, faith takes over.

I have the choice to dwell in God's promises that protects, comforts, counsel, are lifting and come alive in every situation. This is where my peace comes from.

My prayer for my daughter as she starts out the year, is to let the light of Jesus in her heart shine through. This way, she might be an influence in her world as she learns new things.

We laid our hands on her this morning showering her with blessings before sending her off into the world(Zoo). 

"Jesus is with you always and there is nothing to be afraid of. You are blessed when you go into school and when you come out. 

You shall be the head and not the tail, above and not below. 

You shall prosper in wisdom amongst your classmates because of Christ in you. This will attract others to you because of the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of all wisdom.

No plague(cold virus, any sickness or attacks) shall come near you. For he will cover you with his feathers and safe you from any deadly pestilence and arrows that fly by day.

The Lord will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

Surely Goodness and love will follow you all of your school days. For His faithfulness shall be your shield and rampart.

To this we say Amen because all God's promises are true."

What are you worried about as your child starts school?

Speak out loud God's promises for you and your child. They are voice activated. Write them in your heart.

42 and Pregnant! Yes! Glory Alleluia!

  Hello there, It’s been a while!   How are you doing? I pray this finds you in good health and a happy state of mind. If not, cast all your cares to Jesus, he wants you to do life with him. It’s been a while since I wrote on this blog. A lot has happened since the last time we communicated. We all went through the pandemic. What a crazy season that was. I was talking to my husband the other day and truly felt God gave us a jubilee year(a year of rest), to restate and refocus. What the enemy meant for evil God turned it for good. I know many of us lost loved ones which is very disheartening. May the memories with them always bring us joy when we think of them. They are gone but never forgotten. They’ve become our cloud of witnesses if they died in Christ right? In my last communication with you I shared about the behind the scenes of every picture. What we see is really not what may be going on although pictures are worth a thousand words. If you did not read that post I encou...

How I met Prince Charming!

Image
Everyone has a story of how they met their Prince Charming. Yours maybe be more exciting than others. Or maybe, more awkward than others. Well, let me give you a chance to make the judgment in my situation. January 2007 was when it all started in South Bend Indiana. For those of you who don't know, January is the coldest, snowiest month of the year with icy roads. As the weather forecaster always says, "if you have no reason to be outside, stay indoors." For several years, I made it a habit to journal  important events in my life . Specifically, to look back with a thankful heart and see what lies ahead of me.                                   (we are no ordinary couple, we have a supernatural deliverer, Jesus Christ.)   January 30th is a big deal in my little world. As I sat alone in my empty apartment, I could hear the echo's of my breath. Usually, waiting to receive a call f...

A Mother's Bond

The connection we have with our children  is very powerful. The bond can not be broken. It is a love like no other. A love that speaks from the heart with a very powerful intuition. God made us carry them in our bodies for almost 10 months. This pregnancy process is a bonding mystery. Feeling the baby move and it can actually respond when you talk to them. I remember my babies giving me kicks of assurance when I asked if they are ok in there. What a magical feeling it is. The bonding continuous as we hear the first cry that pierces our hearts, nursing them, waking up at night and going through days with very limited sleep. Stirring at them to see if we'll see a body part actuall grow instantly. All the smiles and crying only builds up a stronger bond etc. We get soo attached to them that even leaving them home with our husbands is scary. Yet, we have to trust God and pray that we meet them alive when we return. I realized that this mother child bond is the same way God wants us to ...
