Summer

Summer is the warmest of the four temperate seasons, between spring and autumn. It is marked by the longest days and shortest nights. The Summer solstice is on 21st June, which is the longest day in the year. The summer months, tend to be last June, July, August and September. The colours of summer are lush greens, vibrant blues, pink, golds, red, very colourful, because of the weather being warm, people take advantage of the weather, by going out more, more daytime activity.

The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon occurring in summer months at latitudes north and nearby to the south of the Arctic Circle, and south and nearby to the north of the Antarctic Circle where the sun remains visible at the local midnight. Given fair weather, the sun is visible for a continuous 24 hours, mostly north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle. The number of days per year with potential midnight sun increases the farther poleward one goes.

There are no permanent human settlements south of the Antarctic Circle, so the countries and territories whose populations experience it are limited to the ones crossed by the Arctic Circle, e.g.. Canada, United States of America (Alaska), Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and extremities of Iceland. A quarter of Finland's territory lies north of the Arctic Circle and at the country's northernmost point the sun does not set for 73 days during summer. In Svalbard, Norway, the northernmost inhabited region of Europe, there is no sunset from approximately 19 April to 23 August. The extreme sites are the poles where the sun can be continuously visible for a half year.

Because of the sun we have more activity, people tend to be much happier. Summer reminds of the long school holidays, more people who live in the city, either leave the country or go on the annual 'summer holidays'.

Generally it is a fun time for people.

Genesis 8:22

While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

From this we know that Elohim created the seasons.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

He has made every thing beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.

The seasons are God's reason for everything to be put its place and order. Everything is done in a particular time or season. Seasons and time effect plant life, God has made every plant according habitat and climate, some plants need heat to grow and thrive, others need cooler temperatures, while some are perfectly happy in cold climate and can withstand frost and ice.

If we look at the beginning of Genesis 1:5

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

In verse 2 where the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep, in other words the earth was in chaos, so Elohim brought order to chaos and when we read in later verses, he created the various elements, day, night, the universe, the seasons, the forests, plantation, then he created man. The garden was created and he put man in it.

The same way Elohim likes order, it is the same way we should copy his example, everything he has put in creation for us to observe and take note.

Proverbs 30:24 -28

There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
The spider take hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

This shows organisation and the Divine order of things. We can learn a lot for each of the seasons, but we must be open to get knowledge and wisdom and in all our getting we must get understanding.

Spring

Spring is the time of year for renewal, rebirth, it is a transit between between winter and summer. The earth's tilt relative towards the sun. The spring days are close to 12 hours long, with the day length increasing as the season progresses.

In Northern Hempshire countries, the spring months are from March, April and May. Around the 20th March, begins the Spring Equinox, even though many times, it does not feel so, because we have the light, but it is still so bitterly cold.

Spring is seen as a time of growth, renewal of new life, both animal and plant and reborn. It is of great significance that in the Judo/Christian calender, it is Passover, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Resurrection Sunday (Easter).

Jesus became our Passover Lamb, on Palm Sunday, he entered into Jerusalem as a King, on Good Friday, he was executed as a common criminal. He was humilated for us, he was executed naked. Crucifixion was a very common way of execution. The most famous passages in the bible, is from John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotton son, that whosoever believe in him, shall not perish, shall not perish.

He was whipped, he was beaten, And his stripes we are healed. He took on all our sins, so that when he went up to heaven, and his precious blood was put on the mercy seat. At the time of his death, when he said "It is finished", he gave up the ghost and he died. The veil in the Holy of Holies was 3 inches thick was torn down from top to bottom.

Before Jesus's Christ ultimate sacrifice, you could not speak to God, like that. You have to get a priest and you had to get your animal to be sacrificed. After Jesus's death and resurrection on third day (two days after his crucifixion).

You can speak to God anytime, any day, you speak his words, about any situation, you mediate on his words and you will get relevation.

In the midst of your turmolt, you do hear the still small voice.

From my own experience, each time I fast, I always experience toothache. My tooth was annoying me and the week before, we had a miracle and healing service, my tooth was fine, on Easter Sunday, when I went home, my tooth started to annoy me, but the time I got home, it got worse. The pain was unbearable, my muscles was thickening. I took painkillers, washed my mouth out with salt water, and the pain persisted. I kept saying "Lord, your word says By your stripes, I am healed" and the more you are saying your words and more the pain is getting stronger, but I heard a small voice tell me, take a little bit of disinfectant, add some salt and wash your mouth out, the voice even told me where I would find the disinfectant, I did exactly as I was told and I started to get some relief. Then I went downstairs, and took some alcohol, nearly 100%, added water and washed out my mouth, with the few drops of disinfectant, the pain started to decrease, then I put a few drops of Tea Tree oil, which is a another disinfectant, washed my mouth, making sure I did not swallow. I did that for a few days and now the pain and the infection has gone, although I will be still washing out my mouth, and getting work done on my teeth, even though I am eating on the one side, it is much, much, much better, before every time your food, accidentally, went near your infected tooth. You cried from the pain.

I am a testimony, speaking his words, in the midst of the storm and torment, you have to listen to the still small voice and sometimes, because we are so wrapped up in our pain, it is sometimes very difficult to you.

Bless the Lord Oh my soul and all that is within me. Daily shall he be praised, Glory to highest and he shall be praised, until he comes to earth or he take me home!

I hope that everyone had a Happy Easter and the year is turning out to wonderful every day.

Valentine's Day

February 14th is Valentine's Day. It is a day for love, lovers, romance, roses, chocolates. I have noticed that soon after Christmas in over. In January, the Valentine's cards are available. One can argue that it is very commercial, but looking at Valentine's day closely.



The first representation of Saint Valentine appeared in the Nuremberg Chronicle, (1493); alongside the woodcut portrait of Valentine the text states that he was a Roman priest martyred during the reign of Claudius II, known as Claudius Gothicus. He was arrested and imprisoned upon being caught marrying Christian couples and otherwise aiding Christians who were at the time being persecuted by Claudius in Rome. Helping Christians at this time was considered a crime. Claudius took a liking to this prisoner -- until Valentinus tried to convert the Emperor -- whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stoned; when that didn't finish him, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate. Various dates are given for the martyrdom or martyrdoms: 269, 270, or 273.



The ultimate romantic is Elohim, and who santified marriage and created love and sex to be within the marriage bed. The first marriage was between Adam and Eve. If one reads the Songs of Songs or the Song of Soloman, it is very romantic and it shows the love of a married couple. It is very beautiful, very moving and very touching.



There is nothing wrong with celebrating St Valentine's Day, with the chocolates, flowers or the trip to Paris or a romantic dinner for two, but romance should be in the marriage all the time, not just on February 14th. Husband and wife should have a date night together. Marriage should be for life, and it requires a lot of work, but a lot of enjoyable work. Marriage can be made in heaven.

Happy Valentine's Day

New Year New Beginnings

Happy New Year, we are now in 2010, which is a year of great expectations and excitement.

So far the year has started off very well for me, and I hope and pray that you get all the promises of God.

Autumn

Autumn (Fall) is a wonderful time of year. I love to look at how all the colours of the trees and the sky. How the light changes so suddenly, it is so dramatic. Each season has its own particular magic. Spring is newness and freshness, summer is brightness, hot days and nights, autumn (fall) time of abundance, fullness, harvest and winter stillness, crisp morning and the winter days what I find so wonderful, is when it is very bright, the sun is shinning and it is cold.

Even the fashion for this season autumn (fall) and winter are bright blues, reds, purple.

The first three pictures, I took and the others I found them on the web, pictures of autumn taken by other people recently.

I haven't written much, because I was going through a very difficult time in my personal life. My father was being very difficult and two women at church, let me call them Jane and Rochelle, I found them to be very deceptive and deceitful.

My father is elderly and he is disabled and yet he feels he must humiliate me. I found that many family members know how he behaves and yet they would not give me any support.

Anyway, I decided to sow a double tithe, and I talked to God to deal with this problem for me.

The support planner came, my father didn't tell me anything about him, he talked with my father about attending church and my father called me to talk to him and I asked him find out the different department that could help my father, my father said quickly, he doesn't need help and I told the planner I need all the help, he agreed and he gave me his telephone number. My cousin and I went to social services and they are aware of him and his behaviour and they are now writing a report, they are putting a care plan in action for him, even though he is still being difficult, a higher authority has taken over. Everything moved so quickly, clearly God's hand is involved here.

Since I have been going to my church, I have learn to see through my father's lies and mind games and I have been able to distance myself from him.

At church, I met two women who I thought were very nice people. I realise that both are professional Lots, they only want to hang on to you, so that you can get information for them. Jane picked up the fact that I was having a difficult time, and instead of having kind words, she was a gossip and she would accuse me of not recognising her worth, remarks like 'Look how I have spoken into your life', it was good to meet her, but now she is very deceptive.

As for Rochelle, she was always wanted to see me, because I could tell her what scriptures to read. Few weeks ago, I experience her cold attitude towards me like she never knew me, she is very deceitful. God pointed out their behaviour to me.

I was very hurt and I asked God to bless them, but I don't want to see them again in church, if they are there, I asked that I don't see them, sometimes Jane would email me, and I would email her back, but I don't want to have anything to do with her anymore. Both of them, I have cut out of my life.

I realise that I don't need Lots in my life. I have been listening to confessions from our man of God, the cd plays all the time and I used to go to bible class every Wednesday, but the Holy Spirit lead me to 'take a break'. I find that I now get up in the early hours of the morning, do praise and worship. I hear his voice more clearly now, it is a voice of excitement, 'you can do it'. 'Great things can happen for you'. I am now more at peace with myself. So many things are being revealed to me and I am in a good place thanks to Jesus. May the Lord be praised.

Psalm 35:37

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Marriage

We are now in the month of June and traditionally most marriages take place in this month, especially if you live in Europe, America, Canada and Russia, one of the main reasons being that the weather is a lot warmer. Lot of brides want to be June brides. Due to the new covenant, that we have with Jesus the anointed one of God, marriage is available to everyone, if they want to be married. Marriage is not to make to couple whole or complete, or finish each other. Marriage must be sane, level-headed and sensible people.

Before you get married, you must know why you want to get married and do you really want to be married in the first place. Marriage takes a lot of time and lot of work and energy however this work should be enjoyable. Marriage needs passion, romance to keep it exciting. You still need to go out on dates and your marriage bedroom, should be for you and your husband, not your children, or your mother, you best mates to see it, your marriage bed should be for you, your husband or wife and God. Your marriage bedroom is sacred. You should not have a television in your marriage bedroom. Maybe your laptop, if you need to work, and only a radio, nothing else, because you have to concentrate on each other, physically, mentally and spiritually and it is for you to make love to your spouse.

Passion never dies, you should be still be passionate for each other, I would say even more, men who have passion for computers and trains or women for shoes, and makeup, even when they reach eighty years old, never lose their passion, but we expect people to lose their passion for each other, because they age.

A lot of people call for a relationship and when one person shows enthusiasm and wants to spend more time with them, seeing them three or four times, suddenly the other person thinks they need to breathe. Then you need to ask yourself, do you want a relationship which will lead to marriage, or do you want a boyfriend or girlfriend for sex.

When you decide that you want to get married, you need to pray and ask for guidance, have a heart to heart conversation with God, not your pastor, he can't help you, but with God himself, you have to talk to God, you have to go to the throne room and talk to God, you make a list of the characteristics, which are important to you, and pray them in your spouse, by thanking God that my husband is a gentle and kind man, pray characteristics for yourself, 'Thank you God for making me such a loving wife, because too many times, we want this and that in our life partners and what about us.

There are comments that people say that people show not make lists, this is an absolute lie, and complete and utter rubbish, when you go shopping, you have a shopping list in your head, when you go to buy a house, you have the idea of what kind of house, you want. There are features that are most important to you, when you buy a car the same thing. When we travel on plane or train, you travel bound for the destination, it is no good going on a plane bound for South Africa and you want to go to Europe. The plane is going to its specific destination and if children are important to you, be with a man, who wants children, don't be with someone, who doesn't want children and then hope that you will change their mind. Same way with a believer, if he is a non-believer, don't think you can save him, pray for him yes and God will look into his heart, you concentrate on being with someone who is a believer.

Do you have a vision for your life, can you actually see yourself married with children.

Also attend churches where the men and women of God are specified anointed to preach and teach the word of God and ask God to put you in the right church. This is extremely important.

God does not change his method of doing things, he may adapt to the modern world, he may talk to you through the computer, and why shouldn't he, he designed them. He anoints the men and women of God and the anointing goes from the head to the congregation. There are many people, who are in the wrong church, some may be full, because 'pastor preach good', but are they teaching the word of God and how are you using it in your life. Have you seen significant changes since you have been going to the church or Christian centre. If you have not, you need to leave the church fast.

In Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall be room enough to receive it.

A tithe is the first ten percent of your income. Your tithe looks after the church, the building, the media resources etc, so that you can be an effective ambassador for Christ. When you tithe you are acknowledging El Shaddai - God Almighty as your source of all, he can provide for you, when you tithe, you open yourself to Divine Favour and blessings of all kinds. When you tithe, on your envelope, you should put what you want in your life and get scriptures for it, as you want to be married, you put on the envelope for my successful marriage and let the Holy Ghost teach you how to be a wife, or a husband, some of us learn our bad marriages from our parents, the Holy Ghost is the right person for the job, and he can teach you.

Reading Proverbs 31, Ruth, Esther, Deborah and Judith. Judith, you will find in the Jerusalem Bible. Read Peter, Joseph, he was an excellent husband, Daniel, although he did not get married, he was very wise. Proverbs 3:5, read the chapters concerning Jesus, how he was caring and very wise, look particularly how he treated women, especially prostitutes, in his ministry, he had a lot of ladies, who were members of his congregation.

Those pastors, who say that you must sit and wait on God, that he will send you a wife or a husband. No God does do that, you have to get yourself out there to meet your husband or wife. Ruth had to travel to meet Boaz, Esther had to take part in the beauty competition. After your wife and husband training, you make yourself attractive, lose weight if you need to, you have to be a delight to your husbands or wives eyes. You have to let your husband and wife to be see you in their dreams, you see him, you pray for them, where ever they are and when the time is right, God will bring them to you.

Marriage scriptures

Genesis 2:24, Psalm 128:3, Proverbs 18:22, Proverbs 31:11-12, Song of Solomon (showing how marriage, should be), 1 Corinthians 7:14, Ephesians 5:25, 28, 31. God does not care where your husband comes from as long as you are equally yoked.

Other inspiring women of God, where Abigail, she was wise, of good understanding as the bible refers to her 1 Samuel 25:2-43, The Shunamite woman 2 Kings 8 -37.

Tis the Month of May

The month of May, being the five month of the year. The number five represents favour. So it is a month of unexpected favour. It seems to be a time, where a lot of celebrations are held. May Day celebration in the United Kingdom is the first Monday in May, or Labour Day in many countries, such as USA, Canada. The symbols of May is the May flower, lily of the valley and the emerald, which means success or love and the rose Rosa chinensis.

The weather so far, has been wonderful, sunny bright and warm.

Prayer for May

Heavenly Father, that you for this wonderful month, full of joy, excitement and expectation. We expect supernatural and divine favour from 1st to 31st of May, we thank you in Jesus Name.

Take your passion and .....run with it, don't stop until you achieve it!

The dictionary definition of the Passion

1. any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, as love or hate.

2 .strong amorous feeling or desire; love; ardour.

3. strong sexual desire; lust.

4. an instance or experience of strong love or sexual desire.

5. a person toward whom one feels strong love or sexual desire.

6. a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything: a passion for music.

7. the object of such a fondness or desire: Accuracy became a passion with him/her.

8. an outburst of strong emotion or feeling: He suddenly broke into a passion of bitter words.

9. violent anger.

10. the state of being acted upon or affected by something external, esp. something alien to one's nature or one's customary behaviour

11. (often initial capital letter) Theology.

a. the sufferings of Jesus Christ on the cross or His sufferings subsequent to the Last Supper.

b. the narrative of Jesus Christ's sufferings as recorded in the Gospels.

12. Archaic. the sufferings of a martyr.

I was rather suprised with the many definitions of the word. It is good to be passionate about something, it makes you feel alive, it gives you hope, however it should not overtake you that , if you become obessessed about your passion. It becomes an Idol. That is why when you doing what you love, call in God to help and bless you with it, so it can glorify his name.

Our God loves creatiion and he loves people to express themselves with his creative gifts, when you both creation, together, you are in a different wave length, the impossible becomes possible, take a man like George Washington Carver, who was an inventor,

The passion I am referring to is the definition in number 6, if a person is passionate about music, or writing, or mathematics, the science of whatever. Most people's passion starts when they are very young, they may write or draw, or do what they love doing for hours at a time, and if it a something, they are talented like drawing, or chess playing, writing, poetry. They should be encouraged, if you always wanted to write or develop a craft or whatever go for it. You have nothing to lose and you are probably bringing out your God given talent.

All talent comes from God and many times, when you start to follow your passion, you find that you release several other hidden talents you didn't know you have. Age has nothing to do with it. Due to circumstances, because you may not have been able to start your talent, when you were a young person, but you have got a chance as an older person, go for it.

The thing with a passion, you have to protect it like an egg and tell only people who really can see you doing something like being a writer, or over the age of 40 going to medical school, or being a doctor, lawyer or interior designer or whatever. As long as you are alive, it is never too late, because you have this passion, you have to hang around with visionaires and dreamers.
Even though they may have a different dream from you, you can encourage each other.

Napoleon Hill talked about having a mastermind group in 'The Science of Personal Achievement'
CS Lewis and JRR Tolkein, were both lecturers at Oxford and would encourage each other when they were writing. CS Lewis was the author of 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and JRR Tolkein the author of books, such as 'The Hobbit, and Lord of the Rings and they both wrote many other books.

God is God all by himselfand yet he has a network of angels. There are the nine choir of angels. Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Powers, Virtues, Principalities, Archangels and Angels.

Angels of the north, south, east and west, angels of dawn, midday, evening and midnight, angels of spring, summer, autumn and winter, angels of war, (especially as you are fighting the good fight. When Joshua and the children of Israel fought their enemies, Joshua 10:10 - 14 angels were involved sending down hailstones. and they were involved in the sun not raising and the moon also not raising, hence that was the only time, they got an extra day and that is recorded in history, so it is a fact. God send down his angel in 2 Kings 19:35 and he killed a lot of Ayssyrians, one hundred, fourscore and five thousand. God send an angel to protect the children of Israel, during when they were leaving Egypt. Exodus14: 21-22, Psalm 91:11-12, by the authority of Jesus Christ, you can send them to get your money, or bring the right people to you, protect you and your household from any danger.

Even when there were storms in Kanasis, a man summoured his angels to protect his house and when the wind blow, his house was fine, while the others were badly to extremely damaged. As part of your covenant, you have protection, prosperity, good health, sound mind, peace, have dominion over challenges and restoration.

So there are angels of protection, your own guardian angel, angels of days of the week, months of the year, angels of music, dancing, singing, surgeons, lawyers, doctors, writers, communication, interior designers. birth, death, the home, finance, money, saving, bank accounts, heritance, trust funds, fishing, agriculture, water, earth, wind, fire, sports, determination, artists, painters, party (entertainment), gatherings, woods, trees, rivers, looking after the planet, horticulture, architectures, beautiful treatments, buildings, angel who are look after countries. Archangel Michael protects Israel. Patron saint of England is St George, patron saint of Wales is St David, Scotland is St Andrew and Ireland is St Patrick. Michael and all these men have one thing in common, battling evil. Champions of the right and the good.

God's angels cover every aspect of our lives, he has a whole network of them, Psalm 103: 20, in Acts 8 : 25 - 40, an angel took Philip to the Ethiopian officer in Queen Candace court, Acts 12: 7-8, the angel delivered Peter from prison, Acts 16:25 -26, God sent an angel for Paul and Silas released their chains. In Hebrews 1:13 -14, they are ministering spirits sent to us to help us, as we are heirs of salvation. Estimation of God's angels, very from several billions to a trillions. So he had got an extremely network and extremely is very conserve word. So we can say, God is the ultimate networker.

Even when Jesus lived on earth, he had his 12 twelve disciples, plus there was the inner four, Simon Peter, John, Andrew and James, and there were the 72 disciple, he sent out, plus the ladies, Mary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus and his mother, Luke 8: 2 -3, they organised the meals, and his apppointments. Jesus's ministry was very well organised. Some of his disciples were married and had families of their own, some were single. Jesus had an accountant, which was Judas, estimation of people who Jesus looked after was at least thousand or more. Peter travelled with his wife, when he was preaching after Jesus ascended to heaven and he built up a network of followers. After Jesus was ressurected, over 500 people saw him and he thought the gospel for a month, before he went to heaven.

Now with Paul, even though he was chained to the Roman solidiers, he converted many of them, they protected him from hostile crowds, because he was a Roman citizen. He spent many times in jail, the jailers, and the prisoners, they converted to Christianity. Lydia, the businesswoman, she was one of his supporters and I'm sure, she also influenced a lot of her customers.

Long hair lovers, long hair care forum, or keep it simple sista, facebook, twitter and the various meet up groups or the national romantic writers association, are examples of forums, network of people who have the same interests, whether it be long hair, growing your hair long, or whether you are communicating on facebook or twitter, emails, blogging, writing romantic fiction, or whatever your interest is. You can talk to each other, swap ideas and keep each other focused, so that you can achieve your goals. So if you have friends or families, who do not share your visions or dreams, you need to be with people who do, if you don't they will kill your dreams, because of their own limiting beliefs. If you want to be successful in anything you do, you must be with successful people who have already achieved success or be with people who want success and they are as hungry as you are.

So networking, meeting up, are all important, if you have a dream, you write it down and you can run with it, until you achieve it.

Spring Fever

Spring is the season of year, which represents renewal, growth, rebirth, new beginnings, and enterprises, people fall in love. Religious festivals at this time of year such as Mothering Sunday, or Mother's Day, Passover, Ressurection or Easter, Penticost.

There are the familiar sweets available, such as Easter eggs. I have always wondered why in the middle of the New Year, the shops are stocking up with Easter Eggs and each year the eggs seem to be more elaborate.

From church, last Sunday, my daughter and I went out and we saw an Easter egg for £70.00, but of course, it was made from the finest chocolate, organic and it looked very nice and I wondered if I would spend £70.00 on an Easter egg, I don't think so, too much money and I would definitely spend that money on a new handbag or shoes and good luck to the person who does.

One thing, being with God, any time, day, can be your season, so you don't have to wait until March 21st, to be renewed.

Psalm 1:3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Psalm 23:2
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Psalm 92:12 -14
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing.

Isaiah 58:11
And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones; and thou shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

So with these promises, we can still make corrects, learn for our mistakes and if we are teachable, be the very best we can and be successful in whatever we put our minds to.

How do we view ourselves?

In the light of the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation. I decided to write this blog. How do we black woman view ourselves, as royal princesses or ghetto princesses. I have put images of hip hop video princess and princess. I have images of African princesses and fictional princesses from Disney, such as Jasmine, Belle, Cinderella, Aurora, Snow White and Ariel. African American Belle and the new African American princess Tiana and a picture of Rihanna, who was or still is a pop princess. However, she seemed to have lost her crown, on the light of what happened with Chris Brown, and her violent attack.

When I read it first, I could not believe it and the more I read, I was just horrified and the abuse from many black people, I was absolutely shocked how many blogs and forums blamed her for the action. 'She must have done something to him'. Then articles were written that because she beat up her brother when she was younger, it was her fault, she gave him herpes. She deserved it because she is from Barbados and as one young person put it, they don't like the accent. One of my younger cousins visited me and she said that she must have provoked him and I have to put it straight to her. I told her if she came home and someone beat up her mother like that, would she say she deserved it. She reminded very quiet.

Rihanna is six months older than my daughter and I would be horrified if anyone did that to my child. When Rihanna started to date Chris Brown, I had this sinking feeling. There was a English footballer, who beat up his fiancee and the media was so supportive of her, but with Rihanna, there was very little support and this got me thinking. It seems that with polite black educated women, there is a significant amount from the black community want to challenge their blackness.

We don't like graceful beautiful black women. There are elements who want to destroy them, yet we don't have a problem with graceful beautiful women from other races. We want every black women to behave like ghetto or fish market women and when they don't behave like that, we get angry and challenge them. However with black men, we have the whole community fighting for them, whether they be good, bad or indifferent, but where is the fight for black women.

The conclusion, I have come to realise is that only Elohim, who loves us and no-one else and therefore we were the original queens and we must never forget it and we must love ourselves, we were created in the image of Elohim and we must never forget and look for scriptures, such as in Esther and Songs of Solomon. 'I am black and comely', I am fearfully and wonderfully made'.

Remember that we are the apple of God's eye. It does not matter what anyone thinks and long as you follow your God given talent, he can express himself through you.

You ask for guidance and he is there for you. If you are not at a church, or a gathering, go to institutions where are more spiritually based and are followers of the word of God, institutions who teach the bible properly, not institutions where pastor says, tells you rubbish, you must read the bible for yourself and everything, prosperity in all aspects of your life is for you. Whatever nationality your husband is and you choose to marry him and as long as he believes that Jesus Christ died on the cross and he is a good man, he is the man of your dreams, marry him and forgot what the 'so-called community tell you, if they call you a sell out, yes you are a sell-out to Jesus, they are sell-out to Satan.

Accept nothing but the best, because God gave his son and he was the best. If a man cannot treat you like a queen, he is not worthy of you. If he can't buy you flowers or he makes an excuse, it's not his thing. Show him the door, because you are not worthy in your eyes. There are plenty of men, who are willing to adore you and treat you like a queen. They are real men, not other men who are really boys pretending to be men.

The Day the Snow came

Our Snow started on Sunday 1st February evening, it continued until in was Monday morning. There were no transport running, the buses and the trains were not running. The councils didn't grit the pavements or the main roads and the government said as usual, we don't get this type of snow, however it snowed earlier in January and maybe not as thick, but other parts of the country had a lot of it. So in London, we got it. People didn't go to work, the schools were closed and children, young and old and I am including adults like myself and daughter had fun!!. We went to the park, we took pictures, and the park was fun and snow people were made, giant snow and woman. men. women and children were busy making things with the snow.

The goverment complained that the day off work cost the economy billions of money, the recession would deepen even further. People still continued to have fun. Teenage boys and young men were planning who they were going to ambush, battle lines at the ready and teenage girls were with their dogs sliding on the ice and dogs were positively excited also. Despite the destruption to traffic, we all praised God for the snow and asked him to send us some more.
