my sis is getting married...

...on the 7th of April and its crazy last weeks going on in the countdown. The wedding gown is almost on the way but i have still not figured out what to wear. Anyway, just thought this was a good update.
One li'l word to chew upon. God spoke to me lately and told me that as the people of the kingdom we were destined to turn "promises into reality". That was pretty amazing.
Alrite then...mum's calling.

Who will save me?


Once upon a time Paul cried out that who would save him from "this body of death". These days I can say I am right there with you Paul, actually its quite good to have a comrade in the turbulence and yet sometimes it feels so alone so hard while all the while Satan keeps blaring in your ears of how incompetent you have proved, how slack you've gotten but, thank God,Paul after voicing his cry immediately follows up by saying "Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

And well indeed, thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord, whose mercies are new everyday and who is a strong unshakeable rock on whom we stand. When we are in Him, nothing can break us, let alone the weazel-like attempts of Satan. Indeed we can surely say,

For we are not among those who shrink back and so are lost but among those who stand and so are saved. Hebrews 10:39

Praise God!!

One cannot begin it too soon.

I came across this poem by Samuel Butler Yeats a few days ago and surely one can say he has nailed it in this one.
BROWN PENNY
I whispered, 'I am too young,'
And then, 'I am old enough';
Wherefore I threw a penny
To find out if I might love.
'Go and love, go and love, young man,
If the lady be young and fair.'
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
I am looped in the loops of her hair.
O love is the crooked thing,
There is nobody wise enough
To find out all that is in it,
For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away
And the shadows eaten the moon.
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
One cannot begin it too soon.
