SUCH TIMES

WARNING: HIGHLY SENSITIVE     Wrote this entry all the way back in March and came across it tonight. Thought I'd finally share it here. I have just been intrigued by the person of Grace in mesmerizing ways for the past few weeks and feel this entry sweetly shoots the bullseye, stingily I must add for me. And no I have not mastered the matter but am constantly humbled that He constantly comes through.  I am NOTHING. HE IS EVERYTHING ONE COULD EVER NEED or at least dream to have - HE IS LOVE.   March 20th,  2015. A few months ago  this prominent man of God I know said something in one of his sermons that made me question a lot of things about God's love. I guess I've always had these questions as I look at life in general but I had just never voiced it.  I realize  that I have never voiced it because I knew what the answer is.  I always have known.  Somehow the way that story was told that day cut me sooo deeply and made me wa...

Yesterday we had Bible study here and talked and shared on the importance of the influence of women in our society, in our families, in our nation (s) and the world with reference to the story of Deborah. Later in the night i watched a movie called 'No Greater Love' which was about a believer woman loving her non believer husband. It was really cool - Nothing violent. But it was just on how the woman didn't want to compromise God standards while loving her husband. The study earlier mentioned on Deborah talked alot about her uncompromising integrity as well.     So at the end of the movie I cried like a baby. Genuinely I just couldn't. I know that I miss MFG but I didn't see it as that much big of a deal...just something to laugh about or something. But last night I realized how much I deeply and wholeheartedly appreciate knowing and having a unique set of women in my life who are beautiful inside and out! Women who are just downright phenomen...

              A few days ago I came across the above quote on Twitter and I one hundred percently agree! I have a lot of people that I can think of who I never thought would be so passionate about God like they are today but today I'm just gonna write about one.     Here I am prayerfully thinking about family members and extended relations and just kai Vitis out there who I want to really know this God I serve more than just a 'Sunday thing' or a family thing but for themselves individually to know Him for who He is and then God just goes, "Hey, look at Miqa."     If anyone even God (sadly for me) told me back in 2005 that Miqa would have her IGram account under 'Daughter of the King' I would have laughed so hard. Geez I sound mean. Sorry. But seriously though. I recall a memory from back then where we planned to go movies and were to meet at Sukuna Park. This man came and shared with me...

        So I'm imagining going on this car ride where I'm obviously on the passenger seat and the driver driving.  Along the road past Nausori airport (I don't know why) we come across unexpected humps. (maybe this is why. ha.) Meanwhile there are ongoing conversations between the driver and I about life, likes and dislikes.    The first hump.  The first hump got me with both hands stretched out and clenching on whatever I could get it on - the left hand on the driver's shoulder, the right hand pressing on the glass window, plus a little agitated heavy sigh.  The driver calm as ever continues driving.   The ride was beautiful especially with the newly done roads and fancy street lights done and billboards on the side - super comfortable dot dot dot ..... until the second hump.  I started to complain.     " How did you not see that coming?" "Why is there a hump in the middle of nowhere?" "Wh...

It is summer! And it is BEAUTIFUL! The taste of mangoes this past few days has me lingering on Thankfulness.  It is soooo sweet and beautiful that there has to be a God that makes it all THAT good! My heart explodes at the taste of it.  I stand on the side of this L - shaped living room and look out to one end where the breeze makes the clothes on the line fly like its about to touch the sky and then to the other end where the branches of mango trees in the front yard sway to the music of nature.  A bliss. I can't help but give thanks! I am brought to the moment where I realize that there is always so much to be thankful for.  Thankful for life; thankful for friendships; thankful for family; thankful for the glorious taste of mangoes; thankful for the breeze that makes my hair feel like its about to fall off; thankful for the heat of the beautiful sunshine; thankful for moments like now that will never come back.  So I'll just stay in th...

  I don't know if I will write more about it but today this part of it is what I want to share here. Blessings!       “Here are the blueprints for the whole project as God gave me to understand it,” 1 Chronicles 28: 19 Just got done watching Heaven is for Real and thankful for the timing of it.   It’s quite amusing to me that I never got to watch it when it had come out until this week. Heaven is for real. A place like no other. I still feel the rush of it and pray it will never ever stop.   My heart was just heavy and straight after family devotion I rushed to the room, shut the door behind me and knelt and just let out a sudden (to my surprise) flow of unceasing tears like my heart was going to fall out! I just wanted it all out. Whatever it was. With life unfolding to new and different seasons, I cried for just a sense of peace and comfort to rest, to rest, to rest in my King as the seasons inevitably change.  ...

So a dear sister sent me this and I felt it so profound to share here.. He Says:   You are Mighty!   You are Chosen to do so .   You represent me to all that get a glimpse of you.   They see me in you   I see through all   I make the final touches   I conduct as my spirit pleases to do so   You are way more   Confidence is in me   Power is me   Fire is me   Anointing is me   Jah Jehovah is me   I am El Elohim   Jireh hears   Jireh knows   I am the Blessing my Child   I make you Brave   May you never lose your Wonder   Staring at the beauty of my name just like a child   I am your keeper   Repent is the Word Child   I Love you Dearly my Beloved   Rise Church Take your stand   I am your Heavenly Father   This is my Word   Obey my Spirit ...

When God made man He handled the being so delicately He formed it so skilfully His most treasured possession! He gave his breath into the being to move, to live and have his being Holy. Sacred and Good is this being to God "Mine Mine Mine", He says. "Oh how you are mine!" Taking delight in you, so pure and true. Unlike any other creation One of a kind you! Gave you everything else in His creation to rule Everything in His creation, in all its splendour! He gave you. What does man do? Man leaves the creation aside Decides to overrule his own kind How much God cherishes a human being Loves him with all his heart And the human chooses to play his own card. Yet it doesn't change the way He looks at us Oh how we've strayed from the start Doesn't change the way He looks at us. With this truth I nullify every lie Telling me that playing around with a human being is right Devil so sly but you're going down dead and dusted again...

PNG Independence is in a few days. A week before the Independence you will see Papua New Guineans walking around selling provincial flags and their national flags.   Every Papua New Guinean vehicle will have one or two of these flags on their vehicle. Some hold it out from the buses like how Fijians   do during the COKES or Deans seasons.   So much pride for their country. So much love and so much hope they carry.   Its contagious! Maybe I’m the only one fascinated by this because its my first time here, but this has been soooo refreshing for me.   Apart from the recent shooting a week ago and all the other scary stuff that happens, seeing this side of life here gives me some sense of peace. It’s always fun and sweet to take pride in something; to take ownership of belonging.   It is in these moments that one finds something worth fighting for; something worth counting on; something that makes a memory that when we look back we chuckle a bit and cry...

  Here we go.... Sometimes life takes a sudden turn Leaving you with choices to discern Been asking for something And you get it, even beyond Beyond all the dreams of man Beyond what you can comprehend Oh to have the words Words that fully express my soul Words I may not even know Words that filter the darkness that constantly tries to bring me down As I enter a world unknown. Sunshine, crazy heat, dry surroundings Mountainous too All a little too familiar Felt so close for a bit Yet still so far Far from the usual enchilada Makes me wonder What is this And God's like, This.is.Me. This may only for a little while But it is happening.. Taking on the bright sides of living and loving And making it even more real Because He is for real.   So as I go That I will make Him known And make Him known and make Him known. Amen.

[WARNING: These thoughts are completely my own battling through the odds and reality of life and trying to see it fit in to the wonderful adventure of having a relationship with God. No hard feelings.]  When days are hard And my mind battles through the scars The things that are close to my heart Trying to find its way back to the start The world around me seem so complacent and nonsense Here I am praying not to get poisoned. Is it wrong to care, I wonder? People just chilling like my Jesus didnt suffer Came to give His LIFE while we wandered The life that i s like no other! Yet we choose much less than His offer Pre-marital sex, selfish ambition and lustful pleasures Sorcery, jealousy and outbursts of anger To name a few of our acts of ignorance on things that matter. So, what am I supposed to do with all of these struggles?  Well we who belong to Christ are more than conquerors We might fall but we rise up taller Sinking...

I wrote this on January 24th  and today I feel like sharing it here.  Mothers may be a lot of things but being weak is not one of them. They endure through the toughest pains and struggles ever known to man and still manage to smile and love and move on.  Mine, she knows all my friends even though she hasnt met half of them. (and she may never will), listens to all my ramblings even if doesn't agree or even if its just plain boring and silently prays that I grow up and be better than before and no matter what will still be here when everyone else isn't. The perfect and closest illustration of Jesus and his beloved.  Cheers to all you awesome mothers!  Father,  My heart bursts forth in joy At all You've brought my way Thank you isn't enough to fully convey Your wondrous works my God keep blowing me away. Today my mom is a year older How blessed I am, I still ponder Her reverence for You, no one can fight her For her God comes first and there...

This week I had the honor of seeing a sweet sister of mine tie the knot with her man! Words aren't enough to describe how happy I am for them and how deep my love for them is on their special day. Selfless, sweet and humble Gentle, authentic and kind these are but are few words to describe you sweet friend You've been a joy, a strength and a blessing to me on my journey And my heart is nothing but full to see you tie the knot with your man I recall the good ol' days of sharing till night's end, long hours of phone calls when certain issues made us mad,  the forever walks to remember to the seawall, the dark nights of jammin at our beloved MacFarlane porch the unending tea sessions oh and always pushing me to sing and sing and sing. lol! to name a few memories flooding my mind as I aspire to write something about your new chapter.  Mr and Mrs Nakavulevu! How time flies Words cannot describe Seeing you last night Tying the knot aright You beauti...

The morning we arrived back home, the Lord led me to Isaiah 60 as sort of like a confirmation passage to what has begun last week at Savatu.   [Insert Fiji where applicable.] ISAIAH 60:  (NLT version) “Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see.      For the glory of the  Lord  rises to shine on you. 2  Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth,      but the glory of the  Lord  rises and appears over you. 3  All nations will come to your light;      mighty kings will come to see your radiance. 4  “Look and see, for everyone is coming home!      Your sons are coming from distant lands;      your little daughters will be carried home. 5  Your eyes will shine,      and your heart will thrill with joy, for merchants from around the world will come to you.  ...
