God WILL sometimes allow you more than you can handle

On Mar 1, 2021Mar 1, 2021 By EfuaIn life8 Comments

Yesterday was the second anniversary of my precious uncle’s passing and I spent some time reflecting on the pain that his death has caused. He was a very loving and godly man who was like a glue in the family. As I thought about him, family, pain and why bad stuff happen to good people, …

The call comes with the cross

Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me." Luke 9:23 With this phrase, Jesus Christ gave a clear picture and challenging description of the christian life. He begins by letting us know that this …

She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them. Luke 2:7 The highlighted sentence above have been in my spirit for the past few weeks. Understandably, it could be as a result of advent. Having …

I miss spending the Christmas and New Year holidays in the village back home in Nigeria. Some of my fondest childhood memories were formed there. Although we lived in the city, my father had a strong love for village life and looked forward to spending his retirement there. When I think about those happy memories …

I’m thankful that despite the blows 2020 gave, I’m still standing. Thankful for the growth this year. Thankful for the ups and downs, highs and lows, mountains and valleys, laughter and tears. Thankful for it all because it there wasn’t the former, there wouldn’t have been the later. Also thankful for you reading this. Thanks …

I’m thankful that we had snow yesterday and the kids were able to play in it safely whilst I was working. “It’s the little things” they say. This “little thing” made a lot of difference in how our day started yesterday; meaning I could work without any distraction for the first few hours. As they …

I’m thankful that God provided another job for my brother during this pandemic. God has really been faithful and He’s been paving ways for him. In places where some are saying “there is a casting down”, he is able to say “there is a lifting up”. It’s indeed the Lord’s doing and like everything He …

Two nights ago my husband had to take one of my daughters to the hospital because she was feeling unwell. The doctor that assessed her initially told them that there was nothing wrong with her and that they should go home. My husband insisted on him running a blood test. Thankfully he did that because …

Today I’m thankful for a little outdoor park I found near me that has been a place I go to when I want serenity. Interestingly, we’ve lived in this neighbourhood for over 6 years and we never knew of this place which is literally 2mins walk from us. This is now where I do my …

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas? Today I’m thankful for the kindness of my daughters who are aged 8 and 9. They got me and their dad a Christmas present by using their money. After thanking them I told them that they shouldn’t have bought me presents and that they should have saved …
