My Beautiful Sisters, My Brothers

My Beautiful Sisters…. My Brothers
Yes My beautiful Sisters My Brothers…
I call you my brothers because you play a role of being brothers to me…
you protected me when I was scared,
 fed me when I was hungry, and clothed me when naked.

When I felt like God was too far to hear my prayers I ran to you,
not even once you turned me away,
you always had some wise words to tell me,
you tried your best to make sure that no one could hurt me,
and if I was already hurting you searched for comforting words to sooth my pain…
If it meant crying together with me,
that’s what you did so that I could feel that I am not alone…
hence I call you My Beautiful Sisters my Brothers….

When those who were supposed to protect us left… God doubled your strength
He made you very strong so that you can protect our family, you became brothers that I could be proud of, you became the pillar of our family and you made sure
that when our parents look at you they see the miraculous works of God…
hence I call you My Beautiful Sisters, my Brothers…

Each day I always wonder if you will ever comprehend the gratitude, love and respect I possess for you, for being what you have been to me, for always having something funny to say even when the only thing expected of us is to cry,
 for always being on the other side of the storm
and being a beautiful silver lining of my clouds,

I know I can never say thank you enough to you Bantu Abahle,
 but your hearts know that with every breath and every beat of my heart,
I wonder what did I do to deserve such beautiful souls, so different and very diverse,
yet the beautiful cord that ties us together
 makes us overlook and at times embrace our diversity…

You are all beautiful, wonderful and fearfully made,
your strength is hidden in your brains and hearts
where all your thoughts and ideas are born,
you are my sisters, beautiful like princesses,  
 yet strong like warriors,
……..hence I call you my Beautiful Sisters… My Brothers

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace                                         Here we go again... It’s been six months since I took time to write in this space, and I haven’t been too active in any social media platform, I guess I needed some time to reflect without all the pressures that comes with exposing one's life. For me 2016, was a year to learn, more especial in terms of developing my business. Though there isn’t much to show for that, but I’m happy with the business person I gave become. We however closed in a “low" with my family as we lost a loved one again. This blog is however not about the pain and challenges that we went through in the past year. It is about the amazing grace of God, personal lessons have taught me that as much as it very good to plan your life, but it is only God's grace that makes it all happen. I am not discouraging the habit of planning its good as it shows that we are some sorts of visionaries.  My prayer for 2017 is God's most

Count Your Blessings...             You will be so amazed! I can still remember clearly the Sunday I opened my eyes and felt grateful and so much peace in my heart. I felt love and I thought I was dreaming. I called out “Sthandwasami”, and there was no response, looked at my wall, saw the picture of my dream home still there, surely I am not inside it, then I listened for some cartoon sounds, and heard none, again surely there is no child in the house… I was even tempted to go to the garage to check if my dream car was there…but I was starting to realise that nothing had changed, it was my life as I knew it. Then I wondered why? Why I felt so happy and at peace? As I pulled my blankets, I couldn’t help but feel the cold breeze and I realised that I had been warm the whole time, I was under blankets and was warm the whole night. Then I got out of bed and had a glance of my face on the mirror, I looked so cute and “healthy” if you know what I mean by “healthy” lol, yes I re

See the Light

If I can start to share what has transpired since the last time I was on this platform, it would take me a very long time to get to the point that has  brought me here today.  I might have mentioned how life has humbled me, but I dont think it meant what it means righr now.  I might have mentioned how grateful I was, but I had no clue it felt this way. I am grateful for the beautiful light in my life, as it always direct me to a place of peace , place of love and contentment .  Life is seasonal, when its winter in your life, take note and get ready for your summer, make sure that during your summer season you gather enough warrmth so that, your winter season do not affect you.  I have been through all seasons, and my winter decided to drag a bit longer. It fooled me to believe that I am hopeless and the darkness was here to stay.  I totally forgot that, everything in life flows, nothing remain the same... and the pain and fear can never last forever. The light always come in
