Remind me


In the quite hours of the midnight, when I cannot doze off because of the weight of life's trials that are pulling me down. When all I have strength to do is....nothing. In that moment when the only thing moving, are my fingers as I pencil....this something. Not to sure if am even staring at the paper.
Because everything seems blurry, dark, cloudy...But even more dark really.

Am not too sure if the silence is dark or the dark is silent. But am certain it is silent, and it is dark, and intermediate is where I find myself. Being the centre of attraction but not receiving attention.

As I listen very closely to the silence. I realize....
Everything is still as dead......wait except not everything.
Three vital things are still in motion.
1. My brain
2. My breath
3. My heart

Interestingly, God in three persons brought me to creation
1. God the father
2. God the Son
3. God the Holy Spirit
Kissed me with the breadth of life and declared me his satisfaction

I find it quite amazing, that in the midst of my feebleness and weakness. These three are still very much alive, full of alacrity...I am breathing, my heart is pumping and well clearly my brain is still functioning.

After all by worry can add one cubit unto my stature?
It then makes me better understand that to worry about tomorrow is a result of ignorance. The absence of my physical needs doesn't change the presence of my greatest need, God.
In him is my breath, my heart beat and my thoughts. And unless one of these part from me then so does tomorrow.

Therefore because I don't have a tomorrow. In these quite moments of the midnight, when I still have breath.
Having nothing in my hand that bring, only to your love I would like to cling.
As my thoughts begin to think about the things I don't have, kindly remind me of the three things I still have.

And Lord when I begin to doubt that. Please remind me of the faith of Abraham to give you my all in even in my nothingness. Remind me of Job who lost everything and yet still gave you all of him.

As my stomach aches for food please remind me of the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet you feedeth them.
As I drown in my tears comfort me with your staff and remind of the joy that comes in the morning.

And above all, when all seems to be turning against me remind of your love that has continuously sustained me. All the way from creation to redemption in the hope that I may attain salvation.

Lord since you bid to me seek your face,
Believe your word, and trust your grace,
I’ll cast on you my ev’ry care,
And In you May my consolation share
For you have overcome the world
And with you I will hold on till the end
Forever and and ever AMEN

First Things First

Woke up today day like any other day.         Feeling a bit lazy but happy. I made my bed, brushed my teeth, I had my breakfast and cleaned the house.         I was suppose to do some work,Bu t for some reason I kept on procrastinating I ended up opening my Whatsapp instead.       And as expected messages started flocking in Some more urgent than others And others responses from the previous night conversations. As I began to respond to the text messages in their order of urgency, I get a text from him. Yes, him. The man that I had given my heart The man who I thought my heart was safe with  The man whom I decided to love The man who looked me in my eyes and told me how much he cared The man who told me that the thought of losing me made him scared         Theee man that told me I was special, that I was of a unique species.     Yes, that man...

Healing: One of those moments

Hi friends, It has been a minute. Almost four years, actually. While I am a bit sad that it has taken me so long to start blogging again. I am glad 2024 is having me do all the things I have set my mind to do. Thank you LORD. So recently I had one of "those moments". You know those moments that just take away all the progress you think you have made, and the setback presents itself as painful as thousand needles. Trust me, I am grateful to God. Grateful for saving me from all those near death experiences, taking me out of that life frightening place and gracing me yet with another day to live. I am grateful, I really am. However the life I have suffered to live thereafter sometimes feels like it hasn't found a way to weave back the torn fabrics of my heart. One day I am the strongest woman I know, full of life and totally confident in who and what he says I am. Next, I am weak, doubtful, with no self esteem whatsoever and re-living the past as if it was just yesterday. Te...

Intoduction to Thubelihle Maduma

Blessed greeting blogger So since it is my first blog post. I thought, why not I tell  you a little  about myself.  This will help in the later  readings you come across  that you will understand where my views  and principles  are based on. In the matter of age, I have completed 18 years of life,praying for the 19th this September. So yes am pretty young,SURPRISE!!! I quite struggle to describe what kind of a person I am so I will  leave that to you to conclude, however each day I pray longing for the character of Christ to be resembled through me. As he says that let that mind that was in me, be in you also. Among many things I believe in simplicity,whether  in dress, food, conversation, and relations. Let it be simple and done to the glorification of the almighty "whatever ye do, eat or drink, do it in the glory of God". Everything should testify of the master  you  serve. Beginning from  your thoughts, your  hear...
