I Miss You - Written by Carmin Martin

I see you in pictures, you’re still so real,
You’re just a phone call away.
I can’t grasp that you’re gone,
I just called you the other day.

Driving to your house,
I hope to see you at the window,
But no one comes, finally I go inside.
Your smell still fills the air,
The memories are still so fresh,
It feels like you’re right there.

For you I guess it was better,
Your pain was over fast,
But we’re left behind and we miss you,
Our thoughts swirling in the past.

I hope you heard the words we spoke,
I hope you knew we were there,
You weren’t alone,
When holiness came and entered in
And within that soft rendering
Whispers gently, “She’s resting, no longer here”

Did you know that we loved you,
Did you know that we cared?

My only hope is that one day,
I will see you again.
I cried bitterly while you asked me to let you go,
He was to deliver you from all your pain.

Father hold our mother in your arms,
You know the hardship she endured
She was a good soldier still,
Her children know well of a
God who is faithful to the very end

I guess it’s time to let you go,
I’m really going to try mummy,
I guess this is it then,
My time to say goodbye.

So long then my precious mother,
At least I know you’re now free.

Where Does My Help Come From?

I lift up my eyes to the hills- Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip -
He who watches over you will not slumber;
Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you
The LORD is your shade at your right hand;
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm -
He will watch over your life;
The LORD will watch over your coming and going
Both now and forevermore.
Psalm 121

I love this psalm. In this day and age when nothing seems permanent anymore,isn't it comforting to know that Our Lord is CONSTANT.
He neither slumbers nor sleeps,that means that at ANYTIME,He is available to us,and able to hear and help us.

Who do you rely on?

In whom do you place YOUR trust?
Your Tracking device in your car does not guarantee protection from harm.
Your 1.8 metre walls and Alarm System doesn't guarantee that Nobody will try to rob your home.
If your trust is NOT in the Lord, I would sincerely urge you to reconsider...
Prayer:
Lord God, thank you Father that you love me the way You do.
Thank you Father that you watch over my coming and going,and that your hand is with me.

Thank you ,Lord , that you neither slumber nor sleep, but that you are Omnipotent and Omnipresent.
Thank you Lord, that I can rely on You and KNOW that You are watching over me,and I thank You for you protection of me and my family,over our comings and goings.
I thank you Lord,and I pray that you will give me your peace that passes All human understanding,as I place my trust in You.
I pray this in the Wonderful Name of Your Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Have a Lovely Day Now.
Wish you ALL God's Best.

Thought for The Week -Written By "Sis Des Gopaine"

Thought for the week

Thanks giving week, Ye, this is the week leading up to Thanks giving, In this week we tend to look at our life in reverse, what happened to us, in and outside the body, wrong or right, pleasant or unpleasant, all blessings, everything and anything one can think of, that happened to give us reason to be thankful.
We sure do have a lot to be thankful for , our salvation, life, health and wealth. Psalm 139 is one Psalm that shouts out to the Lord of his knowledge surrounding our inner beings. The one person that truly knows you, knows me, hallelujah!, Someone who knows me better than self. I surrender me to God and cry out Psalm139 over my life.

Psalm 139: 1 -18,23&24 “O Lord, you have Searched me, and known me.
You know my sitting down and mine rising up, you understand my thought far off.You compass my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, you, O LORD, you know it altogether. You have beset me behind and before, and laid your hand knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Where shall I go from your upon me. Such spirit?or where shall I flee from your presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there.

If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
If I say, surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Yea, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you. For you have possessed my reins: you have covered me in my mother's womb.

I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are your works; and that my soul knows right well. My substance was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the low parts of the earth. Your eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
How precious also are your thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with you.

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
This is God’s gift to you and me. Form the God who cares more than you know. He gave you this week to do introspection for Thanksgiving. Enjoy it, it is yours. There will never be another moment like this one.

Enjoy you thanksgiving, God bless

Reason For The Season

As I write this,we are having a beach day at work.

The company went to great lengths,regarding the decor,and everything,and it got me to thinking...

Yes, we are once again back in the Festive Season.

Or the "Silly Season" as some call it.

I would like to ask you all a question.

Imagine, we celebrated YOUR birthday,and you weren't invited.

OR.....

Imagine we had a thousand people at YOUR birthday,but you weren't allowed in ,cos "Your name is not on the List"

Sounds ludicrous , doesn't it?

This year, make a conscious decision to remember whose Birthday it is...and please allow Him at His Own birthday party.

As you are preparing to travel,and as you are planning,don't leave out "THE REASON FOR THE SEASON"...JESUS.

Now I'm not saying stay at home, be Super Spiritual and all that.....

Holidays are good, as we need our rest....

But know that the enemy never takes a rest,and just because you are relaxing ,doesn't mean he is....

This season is about the miracle birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

LET'S NOT FORGET .... "THE REASON FOR THE SEASON"

Be blessed.

Have a FAB Friday.

God Bless and have a Blessed Day.

20/20

Brothers and sisters,I greet you all in the Name which is above every other name.

I wish you all nothing but God's best this day,and I pray He shows to you, the wonderful future He has planned for you,

I pray that you are practising to see more with your spiritual eyes and not focusing on what you see in the natural,but that you are seeing into the spiritual,and claiming and taking hold of the Great Promises and Gifts that are just waiting for you to claim....

I pray that God removes the veils and that you see clearly Who you are and Whose you are.

I pray that you are able to see the Good plans HE has for you,and that you are forgetting what's behind and pressing forward...keep pressing on ....Don't Quit !

Believe it and you will see it!

I cannot tell you all, how I, at this time, am marvelled by what God is doing.

In ALL areas of my life. He is FAITHFUL and will accomplish all He said He would.

I will share this testimony,but not just yet....

ALL I WILL SAY AT THIS POINT IS THAT ...HE IS GOOOOOD. GOD IS GOOOD!!!

All he needs is our Belief,Our Faith and Trust in HIM...

By the way , we've changed our plans just a bit.

Our intention was to drop the single "Back With a Vengeance" next.

However, as you know,God can change anything,anytime as He sees fit.

We've now opted to go with another track "20/20" as this deals with Vision,and in keeping with our theme recently based on WHAT U SEE,it was necessary that  "20/20" precede "Back With A Vengeance".

The following is an excerpt from the track 20/20,and it ends fittingly "Daddy's Fam...that's me and you ...and you...and you....we need to join hands.

It's time for us to take our Stand.

There is a proverb which says "If you don't take a stand for something,you will fall for everything".

We're taking our stand for DADDY..... will you join us?

 

20/20

Without vision the people perish;

Cos God's Word we no longer cherish.

While every 2nd house has a satellite dish,

Give a man a rod, but he won't know how to fish.

But he can tell just where the nearest KFC is

Sssssssh they go silent...

When u feed them the truth people can become violent;

Cos u never know how they gonna react-

When u tell him he's Not a Man just cos he got a Gat!

I look around and all I see-

Is greed, lust, envy and every

kinda abomination -known to man.

That's why I gotta grab this mike and take this stand!

I see myself as more than just a simple man;

And if u see like I see then won't u take my hand,

As Daddy's Fam joins hands all across the land.

Be blessed

Dont Quit !!!!

GOOOOOOD MORNING ALL.
This morning I would like to share a poem with you, which was one of my mother's favourites.
I didn't realise it as a child,but by her constant "DON'T QUIT" reminder,she embedded in me a spirit of perseverance....
For you see.... I CANNOT quit !!!
I'm a Die-Hard! No matter what comes against me - I am stubbornly optimistic.
No matter the circumstances,no matter who is for me,or against me...
I CANNOT AND WILL NOT QUIT !!!
Sadly,we live in a time where the spirit of discouragement is so prevalent.
We give up way too easy,and settle for less,when if we just held on,we would have received the prize we were hoping for.
Whatever you are believing for,whatever you are trusting for,whatever you are hoping for keep pushing......Don't Quit !

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

1KINGS 18:44 The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.”
Good morning brothers and sisters in Christ.
I would like to ask a question based on yesterday's blog....
What do you see? Are you seeing your Victory or do you see the battle?
Are you preparing for Rain....or still complaining about the drought and famine?
Are you STILL believing,or have you decided to settle for your current situation....saying :
"Oh well, at least I'm OK".....
"My job may not be the Best,but at least I have one"....
"My partner may not be the Best, and doesn't fully appreciate or understand me,but at least I'm not alone"...or worse,you are in an abusive relationship making excuses for your partner's abusive behaviour...saying - "At least I'm married..."
Remember - IF YOU WILL BELIEVE IT-YOU WILL SEE IT.
I love what my pastor says: He says the problem with Christians is that we Pray Too Much and Believe Too Little....
So, just for today....a challenge....to say NOTHING negative about yourself,your life,your current situation,your job,your partner....
Instead write FIVE THINGS FOR WHICH YOU ARE THANKFUL,for and TAKE FIVE MINUTES aside to THANK GOD for what He has already done,and for what He is busy doing in your life.
THEN WRITE FIVE THINGS WHICH YOU ARE BELIEVING OR TRUSTING GOD FOR AND THANK HIM FOR THOSE THINGS AS THOUGH YOU HAVE THEM ALREADY.
(The Wise will do this for more than just a day, but will do this until they see what they are believing for....)
Total Challenge = 10 MINUTES.
Ask God to open your eyes, to see beyond the natural, so that through your spiritual eyes,and that your faith may be built up,and you may see the rain that is coming.
The world is preparing for a double-dip recession,but as the children of God, we are preparing for a transfer of Wealth,we are preparing for Revival, we are preparing for the greatest Time on God's calender,for an outpouring of His Spirit...
(N.B. Elijah's servant had to go look 7 TIMES before he saw the cloud signifying the rain which was to come)
So I ASK AGAIN...... WHAT DO YOU SEE? 
Have a blessed God-filled day.
Your B.I.C.
