It’s been 11 weeks since I have been in church – maybe it will sound better if I say it’s been 11 weeks since my mom died, and I haven’t had the courage to go to church.   I am neither angry with God, nor disappointed or in some sort of action against God. I just could not get myself to go to church – purely because I was afraid.   Afraid of falling to pieces once I let go … It’s the moment when I surrender during worship to my Saviour. It’s that electrifying connection with God Almighty – and it’s during these moments that I let go of whatever seems to trouble my soul;   the worries, heartaches, the disappointments, the anger, the guilt, the shame … In those intimate moments it’s just me and my God. The One who can saves me from it all…the One who truly understands me and the One who only can edify me, love me tenderly – the way my soul and spirit longs for, the only One who forgives me unconditionally. Since the day I gave my broken and bruised heart t...

“I will never be the same; Love has called my name, from the ashes I rise to proclaim: Your love is undefeated, forever You will reign, Justice has won again. Love has a voice, Love has a name: Jesus, Jesus.....”   I am at the office, working, whith earphones tightly plugged into my ears, worshiping the most High God. How did I go from not having time for God, to singing for my King every day? How did I transform from a broken person with empty hands, to a perfect creation of the All Mighty Living God. I am new, because Love had called my name in April 2009. My story starts many years before that..... I started smoking and drinking when I was only 12. My parents were divorced that year and it was during that divorce when things got rough with very little adult supervision. I had an older sister and ended up tagging along with her and I started doing these things for acceptance and in a way, I had to participate to ensure I would not tell on the wrong d...

  Look forward with HOPE not backwards with REGRET.... Irrespective of your past, where you have been, what you have done...or how many times. Jesus is the Author of Hope. He is HOPE. Give Him your life, start afresh. Let today be a new beginning for you. Let your day start with HOPE today. Let HOPE take control.  

On my way to the office one morning, I heard this song on the radio and immediately fell in love with the lyrics because it captures a peace of my own heart:...   It never was about the oil dripping from my head I never did dream beyond the pastures I could tend It was never about the praise, not about the street parade I didn't really need a crowd when Goliath fell down   I never meant to woo a king with simple shepherd songs Or hide away inside a cave, safe from danger's arms I never meant to wear a crown or try to bring armies down It never was about me and who I hoped to be   Five little stones or a royal robe Shepherd or king doesn't mean a thing 'Cause at the end of the day I want to hear people say: My heart looks like Your heart!   [Your heart from Chris Tomlin]

I believe in the sun, even when it's not shining I believe in love, even when feeling it not I believe in God, even when He is silent

1...ACCEPTANCE: This term is largely metaphysical in nature. It is necessary for us to get beyond this point. We must accept the reality of death and its permanence. Unfortunately the nature of death often makes it difficult to admit that a death has occurred. 2...ANGER and rage in these cases can be directed toward: Other family members, [for not reventing the death], The victim, [for dying]. Doctors, [for not saving the life of the victim]. Law enforcement agencies, [for a variety of reasons such as lack of resolution of a criminal case]. In natural death, anger is not normally so severe. Anger can be because others are not grieving enough or too much, or your loved one for leaving you, and much more. 3...DENIAL: Denial is an escape from reality. However, above all else denial, is an unconscious defense mechanism, characterized by refusal to accept the reality of death. 4...DEPRESSION: Depression is a deep sadness at the loss often accompanied by hopelessness o...
