I KNOW #BROKENPIECE1

 I KNOW

I know

They told you,

I know they told you

What a strong lady I am

The truth is, I am not

I am learning to be vulnerable again…

They told you that I am patient

I am not, but I remember He (God) first waited for me

So I wait, anyway…

They told you that I am fun to be with…

Maybe I laugh often because there is no more tear to cry…

They told you that I am courageous

I am not, countless times I have wanted to run away

I didn’t want His perfect will…

They told you that I am loving

I am not, but I learned that Love lives in me…

They told you that I am understanding

I am not, I battle everyday with the question,

Why…

So,

No matter what good or bad they told you about me

All I know is

I am chosen

I am loved deeply

And God has kept me this far for His glory!

I am simply graced!

GHANA MET KENYA!

Hi! Below is the poetic prayer that was made during this summit. Stay blessed as you read.

Dear Lord,We know you remember

How we made goals for 2015, prayed and believed.

You remember how it was

And we thank you for every moment we had.

Today,

The first Sabbath of this new year

We have gathered together as creatives

And yes, we have plans

But we ask that you be our master planner

We have goals

But we ask that only your perfect will will prevail.

Continue to enlarge our creativity for your glory

And as we purge up one another

Stay close

As we go through this new year

Stay close

Closer than a wall is to a paint

Stay close

Closer than an atom is to a nucleus

Stay close

Closer than the oneness that the two become

Stay close

In Jesus name we pray,

Amen!

HER STORY...

Hi! I hope you were blessed by the first part of story of my life. After serious introspection and prayer, I decided to summarize what I’ve been through in the poem below. Be inspired and encouraged. You too, will pull through by God’s grace, anyway…

I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS!

I know what it means to be without a dad

I know what it means to celebrate Christmas and receive no gift

I know what it means to be rejected by your loved ones

I know what it means to be heartbroken

I know what it means to feel used

I know what it means to be taken advantage of

I know what it means to be critically ill and have no one to take care of you

I know what it means to see your mother cry and do nothing about it

Because, you can’t

I know what it means to be in a crowd and feel lonely

I know what it means to smile with tears in your eyes

I know what it means to be homeless

Yes, I know what it means.

And guess what?

I also know what it means to be loved genuinely

Not just by words, but in action

Not just on Valentine’s Day, but everyday

Not just by promise, but also manifestation

Not just through a gift, but more so, the package

Because,

I am loved deeply

By my father

God Almighty!

Bless you!

She is praying for you!

I PRAY FOR YOU!

This is a special dedication to all men who believe that God has, and is still nurturing proverbs 31 women who will always bring joy and gladness to their hearts. Be encouraged and inspired.

Like the joy of a woman from delivery, when she first sees her newborn baby.
My heart is always filled with joy and gladness at the thought of you.
My sweetie…my honey…my sugar…

Well,
That's rather common,
Allow me to call you,
My courageous man!
And I want you to know
That wherever you are,
I pray for you.

Sometimes my heart turns away
At the imagination of the high expectations you have towards me.
Honestly,
I am working hard to bring out the Esther in me, the Ruth, the Sarah.
Precisely,
I want to be your 31 status
My courageous man!
And I want you to know
That wherever you are,
I pray for you.

When you call me your angel,
May you be reminded that I am not that pure,
That I was once a lost child
Who loved the worldly pleasures.
That I was like Rehab
And I hope you will be my Hosea.
That my sins were as red as scarlet
But Christ cleansed me, now I am as white as snow.
Therefore,
My courageous man,
I want you to know
That wherever you are,
I pray for you.

Love, acceptance, understanding among many other qualities are what I desire from you.
Wo! Wo! Wo! Hold it there,
You think I am asking for too much?
Well…mmh!
But even if you think it's too much to ask.
I believe God is working in your life
To bring out the Abraham, the Isaac, the Jacob in you.
Oh Yes! The David, a man after God's own heart.
Fear not,
My courageous man,
Always remember
That wherever you are,
I pray for you.

When people don't seem to accept you.
When they don't seem to recognize your effort.
When they take you for granted.
Honey! Sorry, I meant,
My courageous man
Please don't lose heart.
Keep fighting like Joshua
Keep believing like Daniel
Keep praising like David
Keep forgiving like Joseph
And loving, like Jesus.
Knowing that, wherever you are,
I pray for you.

I pray that you will make me your church,
And fill me with unfailing love.
That you will selflessly provide, protect and care for me.
I, bone of your bone,
And flesh, of your flesh.
And even when you might not meet up to all these...
Just know, that, I, your woman, will be still praying for you.
