A virtuous woman, who can find?
She is worth much more than rubies
She is strong
Her lamp burns late into the night
A woman of virtue, yes she is me!
She makes cloth
So skillfully woven
That they are expensive
Worth a lot when sold
Her hands never cease to work
They know no idleness
Only relentless energy
Her husband praises her
Her children could have no better mother
Although there are many fine women out there
She surpasses them all
She speaks wise words
And teaches others to do the same
She never wastes her time
‘Cos she knows that it is precious.
She watches over her family
Making sure everyone is well fed and happy
Then she opens her doors to the poor
A selfless act of kindness by an excellent entrepreneur
She is a compatible companion; a loyal friend
Her husband trusts her completely
With her, he has all he needs.
She does not harbour evil intentions
She does him good
For as long as she lives!
She maintains a standard of
Moral excellence and Good character
Clothed with Humility, Self worth and self confidence
Her Dignity is intact
She is beautiful and full of charm
She looks to the future with joy
Most importantly, She fears the Lord!

Thoughts...
So that everytime I sit, I wonder and I think
Let it be your words that I speak
‘cos my mind is a mess
But for your goodness
I know you can fix me next
Give me the words to say
To the people that come my way
As I go about today.
............................................................................................
This is a little prayer in the form of poetry. there are times when i really want to encourage someone but i don't have the right words. There are times when i feel that there's so much going on with me that i cannot even bring myself to talk to someone else about their own problems. This was just going through my head and i was thinking if God can just anoint my words so that rather than me struggling to find my own words, i'll speak His own words and they'll be perfect.....just the right therapy for someone's broken heart or worried mind e.t.c

Jesus died...that's love
to calvary
To save the rest
like you and me
That’s love
They hung him high
They stretched him wide
He hung his head
For me He died
That’s love
That’s not how
the story ends
‘Cos in three days
He rose again
That’s love
......................................................................................................
this is just a snippet from a love medley by God's chosen. The words ministered to me and It kinda summarises what Easter is about- The Love of Christ...
He went through so much for us while we were still sinners and so undeserving...His love knows no bounds.We can't even begin to comprehend it's depth!

Lies
I told a lie, one small tiny lie.
What I knew, I said I did not know
And now I carry it with me all the time
Hoping to grow old with it but it eats at my bones.
One lie became two, three, four
Guilt plastered on my face
Heavy on my shoulders; a stench to abhor
This lie is in control, I’ve lost my place.
Now several lies have been told
My life, my actions are all lies
My heart has now become stone cold,
I see in black and white, no more green grass or blue sky.
Unfortunately, the end came too soon.
I thought I would stop but that was just in my mind,
Each lie proved a useful tool.
I became the source of pain to many, all because of a lie?
.........................................................................................................
There's really no reason to lie, it causes a lot of pain and for the person doing the lieing- it causes phsycological stress. when the 'end' comes - that is the time when you get caught- it may be too late to rectify the damage already done..And then you finally ask yourself: why did i even lie in the first place??
It's a new year so don't begin with lies. Have a wonderful year ahead!x
