Why It Is SO HARD Sometimes......

To just be good? I know, I know, the eternal battle of the flesh vs. the spirit of God in us?

Sometimes I wonder how I would be if I had just a little less free will?

Yes, I really wonder......but would that be truly LOVE? The removal of the choice?

I wonder.......

If You Remember That........

You are royalty? Yes, Do you recall that you are so valuable to God that he killed his only son for you?

Perhaps you have forgotten. My mentor, Pastor B just posted a blog and it just reminded me of this simply 'new birth reality' - NO matter what you have or DONT have, you are somebody special. You are valuable. You are too much! In God's sight.

DNW wonders if you 'get' what this really means?

I hope so

Why We Don't Experience MORE Love in the Church?

Maybe its just me but I feel that as children of a loving God, congregated in his house, LOVE should be overflowing. But's its not so. I wonder why?

I wonder because my bible tells me that if I say I love God who I have never seen and do not love my brother/sister that I can see with my naked eyes, then am just fooling myself.

So I wonder why we continue to fool ourselves and in God's house for that matter.

I wonder, will you show more genuine love to the members of your church? Will you give some one a real smile next time you are in church? Will you reach out to a first time guest with genuine warmth or will we all just continue to be 'afraid'?

They will 'bluff'' me. Or ignore me. Or want my money. Or steal my husband!.

I wonder if we will let these excuses stop us from being like our Lord Jesus. To all we meet but more especially to those we worship with!

I really wonder.

Why We Just Wont Leave It At The Cross?

Yes, DNW wonders why we are determined to carry all the 'stuff' that God has invited us to deposit at the foot of the Cross back on to our own heads? Why are we 'dragging' these things with a God that just wants to help us?

Why, I wonder do we continuosly ignore God's blood stained invitation for a lighter, more victorious life?

Why cant we just submit all our issues, negative attitudes and behaviours, needs, wants, everyting at the Cross and LEAVE THEM THERE?????

Do we not TRUST God?

DNW just wonders.

Whose Afraid of Marriage?

Well if you are, dont be! Being married is a piece of cake compared to.......

Motherhood! (or Fatherhood)!

I tell you the responsability that comes with these roles is no joke at all!

Do you ever wonder about that? If you can cope? Well I do especially when I am looking on
helplessly as one of the children is sick. There is nothing more scary..... That's when I thank God so much for being real to me.

DNW wonders how parents who dont know God cope cos as for me, its my faith in a God who heals that keeps me from going crazy!!!!!

If You Know That...

Whenever you wake up is your morning?
Foolishness is not missing your way or losing focus or straying from your God given path
Foolishness is closing your eyes again AFTER you wake up!

Yes, do you know that as long as you are ALIVE, IT can still happen.
Stop trying to run in someone else' lane. That's their life. Live Yours.
No matter what your IT is, you can still make it happen.
So wake up, open your eyes.....
and this time? Please keep them on Jesus Christ OK?

DNW is wondering......

What Woke The Volcano Up? Why? Why? Why? Now?

If you are aware that yours truly has an authentically autographed copy of 'The Diary', yes, autographed by Wole Soyinka, his very own super legend self! Imagine that!
You are not? You are floating o!

If you know that DNW's phrase of the moment is 'I am bragging on God' cos he is the only reason I have to brag? You do? You are on top of the buzz o! lol!

If all is well with you. Make up your mind to let it be because God has got your back. Don't be confident. Be God-fident.

Shalom!

What You Have Been Thinking About Lately?

Yes, what HAVE you been thinking about doing lately?

What talent God has put on the inside of you that you have been siting on, unsure if you can do it, be that, think that?

Anyway DNW is only wondering becos once a time she used to be like that.....but thank you Jesus no more! Cos click on this link and you will see what the Lord has done! Yes, my book is on sale online! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.authorhouse.com/bookstore/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=69308

Yes, and trust me, if DNW could do this, with God, so can you!

So DNW is taking time off vexing with her Naija printer and all his technical hitches and is focussing on just thanking God!

And yes, DNW is wondering, will you take that leap of faith too?

IF You Touched Someone Other Than.....

First of all Happy Val's Day!

Now as I was wondering, who, apart from your spouse or significant other did you show love to today? I wonder if you tried to reach out a little bit further with your love....... .

Was it just the usual suspect - spouse and or children?

Or did you step out of the box and show love to the usher in church or your housekeeper/driver or maybe you hair dresser?

Its not too late you know.

What God Sees In Me?

Yes, this is one of my major ponders....What on earth do you see me in Papa God?
Why do you care so much? How can you stand all my crap?
Who are you really? No one can be so full of Love. But oh yes, you are divine. Not human.
Thank ...well, thank You! Yes, Thank God.

Yes I wonder how come you are so mindful of me, of mine. Why you even care.
When sometimes, I could really care less. At least that is what my words and deeds would prove...
But you know what? I know I can wonder from today till forever.....you are who you are.

And I am just so grateful that you love me the way you do...Whether I wonder about it or not.
My wondering could not change a thing. What a wonderful wonderful love.
If there is one thing I dont need to wonder about it is the veracity of that singular truth,

So, for just this minute, I have stopped wondering to simply say:

Thank you! Thank God!

Why It Is That

When you watch movies and they want to show events happening in different parts of the world, you will see the Eiffel Tower for France, Big Ben for the UK, the Statue of Liberty for the US but when it comes to Africa, you always see a bunch of black people in loin cloths in some safari like place with lions and elephants in the backdrop???!!!! I don't get it. Maybe its just me, but I am thinking 'Is it that there are no notable landmarks in any of the African countries?

Please if you know someone who knows someone in Hollywood, please tell them that they should stop rehashing that 'single story' of what Africa looks like. We have high rise buildings over here too and streets bustling with people who are actually wearing proper clothes. Yes, we have suits and dresses. And we have beaches too. Why cannot the aliens from space drop their alien bombs all over...well...well....The National Theatre in Lagos for instance! Or somewhere nice and notable in Senegal, le petit Paris? I can even manage the Pyramids in Egypt if I must.....

Yes o!

If Anyone Else Thinks The World Has Gone Mad?

I just scanned the two daily papers my MGM bought and I am convinced that the world is coming to an end.....

Am I the only one? Let me see, we have:
Missing Presidents
Wanne be Nigerian suicide bombers
Doctors skiing to work cos the surface of the earth is covered in snow
Stray bullet murders
Landslides, mudslides, earthquakes, bush fires,
CNN and, and....Ok I give up!

Ok maybe its just me.

BTW, Happy New Year.....I know its 10 days old but better late than never. May 2010 be an awesome year for you and yours. In Jesus Christ's name. Amen!
