Been a while

Its been a while since I last blogged not because of lack of what to say, but working full time, being a full time mum to 17 month old twins and an 8 year old, and of course a wife can be quite demanding.

Since going back to work after maternity last September, it has been one thing or the other, from struggling to fit back into work, struggling to keep and maintain the home front, struggling to maintain friendships to struggling to keeping church commitments.

At a point, I just felt like quitting it all as I am sure most of us have contemplated at one time or the other. I just wasnt coping well at all and it was begining to affect everything that I did. I was very tired(such that my son always used to say, 'mum you look tired), I was weary, frustrated, feeling quite inadequate and started to see myself less than how God sees me. I became so hard on myself as I wasnt giving my best. But in the midst of this all God had a plan.

In February of 2012, we had a prophetic conference in my church and during the ministrations, everyone was queuing up to receive words of prophesies from the different prophets who had come to minister. The queues were quite long for this particular prophet who I wanted to hear a word from and I felt a bit discouraged but then I decided to hang on and wait.

Eventually it became my turn and as I stood there, she began to tell me how God asked her to say to me He loves me, He thinks I am special and very beautiful and that I seem to have forgotten who I am. As soon as I heard that I was like 'wow', but erm I was expecting to hear, 'you have been annointed for...........' lol. Anyways I decided to keep listening. Then she says, I see that you are tired and weary, but God is asking you to take time out and get refreshed, take care of yourself, she went on to say she could hear practical steps that the Lord was asking me to take,  she laughed and said this might sound a bit funny but 'God is saying go get a SPA, go get nice shoes, and get your hair done. She said I could say to you go on a retreat, get a 3 day fast, but that is not what I hear God saying now. You see when I heard those words, I didnt know whether to cry or laugh as I didnt think God would be interested in my hair, or shoes or getting a SPA treatment loool. She said quite a few other things, prayed for me and then I went back home.

I got back home and was gisting with my husband and guess what he said to me 'baby I am thinking of getting you a SPA'. My goodness when I heard those words, I just started screaming and laughing as I shared with him all the prophet had said. So then and there, we decided I was going to get my SPA treatment which by the way is a regular thing now lol.

God is interested in you my friend, all of you, not just spiritual you but all of you, He wants you well, happy, strong, alive, strengthened and so much more. If you need to take time out to just chilax, please do. He understands, He sees, He knows and He will strengthen you.

Since that experience, my daily routine has not changed but I am able to respond differently as I am refreshed physically and strengthened by His word daily.

I hope to blog more often now as God will enable me do. 

So until next time, just want to encourage someone by saying 'Don't give up, don't quit' God has a plan in store'.

Much love
