We are Rising

We are Rising

Out of ashes
Out of burnt bottom pots of pain

Pain inflicted by self
self, self wounded by guilt
guilt propagated by fear
fear enriched by doubt
doubt assisted by laziness
laziness broken by diligence
diligence stripping me of my ignorance
ignorance that led to my doubt
doubt now overcome by faith
faith assisted by His love
His love enveloped in His hope
the hope which has crushed my fear
fear which is gone from me
me who is no longer living in guilt
guilt which has been washed away by Jesus
Jesus made me a new creation
creation basking in His mercy
Mercy which is new every morning
every morning not dependent on self
self hid now in Christ
Christ in God
God on the throne.

Out of burnt bottom pots of pain
out of ashes
we are Rising!

Thank God dad wasn’t furious as I expected. He just said ‘the Lord will work it out for your good!’ Amen oh! Tope and Toye were (and are) a great support and so was mum. (and is...love this woman!) Everyone seems to be saying it is well …dunno if that’s a new viral word! It sure would be well sha. ...................................................... [ eyah's: aww's or sorry]

"if you love me you'll wait for me!" Those sweet words pierced through my heart and vented out of my mouth. How could he say such a thing? How could he possibly mean it?...no! ....................................................................................... "...if you love me you'll wait for me!" Those words forced out of my mouth, I didn't know what else to say but sure enough even in this pain I knew that I was doing the right thing. How could he say such a thing when he knew I genuinely loved him?...before marriage? Never...but I didn't want to loose him. "Tolu but how could you say you love me but yet hide one thing from me?" he said. "Felix how can you say you love me yet you keep me away from the altar?" Now that sounded sarcastic but I was serious....dead serious. "So you think this is a joke right, I'm not refusing to marry you, of course I know what the word says, I know what tradition says but just once
