The joy of being a mother

Last week South Africans were celebrating " Mother's Day", people went to purchase some cards for their mothers or buy some products that were on special during this week. As I saw many of them with their mothers on that day spoiling them, I start thinking of my mother as well. I realized how important she is to me but also how much I am missing her. I called her and wish her a happy Mother's Day, she was a bit surprised for in Gabon we are not celebrating Mothers Day on the same day. It was so refreshing and good to talk with her, to tell her how much I love her something I do not only do when it is Mother's Day but every time I have the opportunity to say it.

Mothers are so important to us, without my mother I do not know if I would have been the same woman or girl I am today. My mother is my role model and she also is my hero. When I look at her, I see someone who will always give me the strength to go forward even if it is tough but I also see someone who says" Well done my daughter, I am proud of you" when I do well. At the end of our talk, she told me that her greatest joy as a mother was the fact that we as her children came to know the God she serves. She told me that she thanked God for our lives and also because we are her greatest pride. We do have our flaws but she loves us like that. I was so moved by what she told me, and also hearing her keeping saying " my daughter" really touched me. She now sees me as a grown up person, someone she trusts and someone she knows is responsible, it is really an achievement I want to say. For your parents to trust you, it is not something easy, it is something you constantly need to prove and to build in them so I was so happy when she told me that she does trust me.

Then, I just ask to myself the type of mother I would be one day. Someone said once if you want to be a good mother in the future, then start by being a good girl in the present. How will you teach something that you have never practiced that you only have heard of. Children do not really pay attention to what their parents say, they pay more attention to what they do. That is a message! I just pray God that one day when the times come, I would be a great mother just like my mother and that my children will look at me and say " yes, my mother is a real gift God gave to me".

I love you so much Mommy, may God keep on blessing and protecting you. Much love. Lala

Appearance: I do not love myself!

Have you ever looked yourself in the mirror and appreciate the person you see? Have you ever thought you were not beautiful enough, nor pretty enough? Do you love yourself? Do you love your body? The way you move? If not, then continue to read may the Spirit open your eyes to let you see the beautiful person you are in Jesus Name! Hello precious! Today, I am going to share with you about self-love. How sad it is to see many women comparing themselves to other women! It breaks my heart every time I hear a lady saying 'I just want to be like her', or 'If only I was her'. Have you ever thought this way? I think we all have...but the good news is you can decide to choose this way of thinking. You are unique. No one on earth can smile like you, can talk like you, can act like you, you are a very peculiar person, and God has no more stock of you in heaven, this should make you think twice. When I was a teenager, I used to compare myself to my little sister...

The best is yet to come! Appointment at the top!

Will I survive from this? Will I recover ? Will I smile again ? So many questions, we asks ourselves after a sad event. It may be the loss of someone, a breakup, a disease, unemployment, well after a bad case we often tend to reconsider everything in our lives. If you are at this stage, know you are not alone. Many people like you have gone through this or actually are going through this. I love the Word of God because it talks about many situations we can relate to. As it says, nothing new is before the sun, everything that is have already been, and what will be is already. So is this situation you are going through...Do you remember the story of Naomi in Judges? The Word says that after loosing her husband and her sons, she became bitter....

The right attitude for Valentine's Day...

Good day beautiful ladies! It has been years but I am around, I have been lately busy with organising my new season!!!!! I am more than excited of what God is doing now and I shall at the right time tell you more about this. Today is Valentine's Day and many single ladies like me have been asked the question of ' where is your valentine?' What are you going to do on Valentine' s Day? People have made it such an event that if we are not rooted in the Word and God's love we can feel depressed or worried especially if we are in age to marry. First of all, ladies do not take this at heart. A friend of mine who got married recently wrote this on her wall ' I am not a Valentine' s Day fan but for all those who are waiting for their husbands, keep waiting upon the Lord and trust in His timing!! It shall be well'. Maybe for this year, you thought you would have a fiance to spend this day with, maybe you hoped for this year to spend it with your h...
