Joy to the world the King is Born. The King is Born I keep meditating on those words over and over again.

The King is Born The King is Born The King is Born The King is Born The King is Born
The King is Born The King is Born The King is Born The King is Born The King is Born

You and I are Refugees

A deacon at my church who actually lives and works in Sudan put advent in a whole new light for me.

He says in the same way that most Sudanese people are refugees in other nations and yearning to go back home in peace and start to live their lives anew so are you and I as christians.

WE are refugees too here on earth and we have always to keep yearning to go back home that has to got be top of our yearnings.

Say a prayer for peace in war torn Africa today and pray that we may all end up home with the Good Lord for ever.

beatin tha devil down!

Excuse the forthrightness of the title but at this stage the honeymoon of my new friendhip with the Lord is kind of over. Temptations are flooding in and it does get tough..............more than I can tell you but I always try to think of how sweet it is now being in communion with the Lord and forever in the life to come and that's where my strength comes from.

That the good Lord is here with me and will not leave but will stand with me and hold my hand.........................

Dont laugh ladies and gents but I am learning a pivotal lesson of faith here it is never I or me or myself it's always We me and the Lord unless I take a U turn or a side street into sin. ( Stress the world always.)

The evil one has got unbelievable tenacity even with Jesus nigh he still tries to make a pass at me and that's ok because I am determined to avoid his kiss of death.

Thats my prayer today that I may steer clear of evil and in the sweet company of My Lord and Saviour especially this Advent season

Falling into sin

After my conversion there have been immense moments of bliss and such an awesome feeling of being right.

However in the past two weeks I have fallen back into some shameful habits.......hard to imagine when I look at my previous posts.

I have had moments of pure shame, swam in muck I thought I would never get stuck in again. It's annoying, sickening and painful to contemplate and remember!

I know the Lord is beside me stretching out his hand to help me up get back on the road of righteousness again and I appreciate that greatly and Love Him for his awesome mercy and goodness.

I know my self anger will get me nowhere and I ask the good Lord to save me from self judgement and derision. My point this is really a point of maturity for me.

I need to stop getting mad and getiing even. How? By showing my Saviour that Yes I do Love you and my sin was just but a slip.

I also pray for the grace of commitment that I may perservere in faith.

I know this post is not entirely eloquent, flowing or sensible.


But my soul is developing a calm and easiness now that I really did not possess when I started writing this post.

God Bless us all.
