Turn It Around!

Little testaments of His Faithfulness: 

This week  money went missing from the records I look after. And a big amount at that! Peace reigns and I honestly had no idea where that money went to! Co-workers started murmuring and throwing pitiful glances at me. Just what I needed to go in to declaration mode: "No way God. Turn this around!" 


The next day I was convinced I was getting the loss cut off off my pay and I was fine with it. "They can have their money, I'm just here to testify." I rested on the fact that whatever happens, being in Samoa in and off itself is a testament of heavenly goodness and this situation wasnt going to ruin that. Got woken up at 3ams to declare out loud, "Even in the odds, my God is for me and not against me. My God is for me and not against me. My God is FOR ME and NOT AGAINST ME.." 


I really needed to stay connected. Did not want to get distracted by the murmurs and glances. And for me that meant plugging on earphones while working, listening to tunes of a higher power - WORSHIP. Work gets busy, mostly boring and sometimes frustrating and worship tunes have been what keeps me in tact and in grace again and again influencing my interactions and mind situations. Im so thankful its what got me through this week. 


So in total I'm supposed to get at least a 60% cut off off my pay. I was ready for it. 


Our pays are done manually and so there couldnt have been a mistake in data entry and there isnt that many of us. 


Instead of a pay cut, I got a 20% increase! Bruhh. I was preeetty sure it was a mistake. I saw it and was like, "uhh this is not mine.." to which the boss replied: "Yes thats yours. Have a goodnight!" 


Cheesing all night not because I got extraas but because My. God. Turned. It. Around!

Doing It Anyway

For some reason, I thought I needed to be out of the woods of this process to be able to tell the story. At least a proper one where my emotions are not in the way. The danger of doing it anyway is you feeling the rawness of the rage, the hurt, the heartbreak, the bitterness.  But I want to stay alive and telling the story helps me do that. Not for likes and follows and shares, but to simply stay alive.  Cue tears.  There's this misconception among Christians sometimes that nothing bad happens to us if we believe in Jesus. You know because God is good all the time and  Great things He has done. I'm not writing to imply those aren't true. I just want to tell my story.  This blog has been about my journey. Testimonies of God's faithfulness in grief, suffering and celebrating life and milestones. And so the journey continues.  Here's what I've been dealt with: a relationship that I love(d) where he wanted to marry me ..... and then he didn't, the morning of....

Imagine a girl growing up in a safe little good Christian home. Key words: safe, good and CHRISTIAN.  I start here because when the environment in your development stages in life is safe, good and Christian, your views and ideas about life is very limited. Limited to only good things. It's not bad and I'm not ungrateful but I say limited because I had no idea how to cope when bad things happened to me because it was a foreign concept and that it was even possible to happen to me in the first place. God was my protector I was taught and I should be immune to bad things?  I look back and see trauma happened one after the other for me in my 20s and now 30s that I guess is where my safety net comes in. My safety net being how I was raised as default - prayer, Bible and family with phrases like, "just pray about it!"   Great stuff but does not negate the fact that I was raised to believe that God is good all the time and for a kid that was raised in that environment, unco...

Steve Penny Prophecy for Fiji! PROPHECY BY STEVE PENNY AT CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE, Nausori, Fiji - Monday,3 November,1997 "This nation shall experience a cloud of the glory of God, the anointing coming down upon this nation like a thick cloud filled with rain , filled with great potential and it will come down and it will blanket all of the islands like a cloud and it won't come and just wash across and go, but it will settle and it will continue to fall ...the rain of God's presence will fall on this nation in a powerful way. And the reviving of the Spirit…literally within five years, this nation will be awash with a great Revival. One side to another, this nation will literally be under the blanket of a move of the Spirit of God like you've never seen before. Just about every denomination will be touched...only those that are very, very resistant will hold out against it, but whole denominations will be swept into this move of the Spirit. There'll be un...
