Who am I to say "NO"?

What to do??

My back is killing me! Ever since I tripped,fell and landed on my
head..I can't seem to lie comfortably on my side. Anyway, enough said
about that!!
I have a friend in need of prayers and probably my help but I am not
sure of how to aproach her. I already let her know that I care..but
she didn't respond. So, do I just sit and wait for her to reach out?
I'm worried about her.

Lala salama!

It's the back-ache that's annoying me!! I am exhausted but I'm used to
that at the end of each day!
I had practice today and it went fine. I sometimes wish it lasted
longer...It feels great just being able to let go of all that's
happend during the day and simply be able to have fun and enjoy
praise!
My eyes are struggling to stay open,so, its good night and May God
bless you and keep you!

Amen!

A friend asked me to keep her in my prayers and she's been in my heart
and prayers all day. Jean, I miss you already!!

It rained today. I had a good time with Nana and I must admit, God has
a way of working things out.
I just noticed that JJ actually prays for Elmo and the TV!! It's kind
of funny but I'm actualy glad that he remembers his family,
Elmo,...and...yes, the TV!!

In everything give thanks!

It's been quite a busy day! I enjoyed Praise and Worship today. I got
to church late for a number of reasons but I still enjoyed being in
the Lord's presence. Part of being in the Praise and Worship means
that each member aquires one of several roles outlined. I am still
praying and embracing the role of conducting the group which sometimes
proves hard especially when I'm not sure of the songs. Sometimes I
wish I had listened more to my music teacher!!
Its a process and with time I'm sure I'll master it.
I got quite mixed up when it came to the sermon though. Maybe it was
just me but I think the preacher strayed alot! What I hid in my heart
though was how to live and walk in Christ and to stay away from evil
and temptations of this world! 1st Peter 4:1-9.
My grandma came to stay with us for a while. I had missed her so much.
She's old and frail now but God has been faithful to her.
Josh loves having her around...he actually learnt to call her 'maitu'
which is a respectful name for children to call their great grandma's.
He's growing up so fast that I sometimes can't keep up with the
changes...but I choose to enjoy and learn from all these precious
experiences.
As I lay him down to sleep, I lead him in prayer..he mentions all his
family's names then I finish with a short prayer.

Psalm 29. Give to the Lord, Glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord
the glory due His name. Worship Him in the splendor of His holiness!!
These are the words in my heart today as I wake. It's early and a
neighbour's rooster just can't stop crowing!! I can hear JJ tossing in
his bed. Soon he'll be up asking me to pray. He knows it's Sunday and
he'll say "Mom, let's go... Church!", then he'll tell me of the church
bell that goes "ding-dong"! He impresses me and he sure gives me joy
to know that he's learning about God and His son Jesus!!
I need to get up and get ready because I need to be in church early
for practice. One of the things that I added to my schedule late last
year was being in the praise and worship team where my heart fills up
with joy, praise and thanksgiving to my God and King.
This is the day that the Lord has made, it's a beautiful day, we have
breath, we get to enjoy his beauty yet again... So, let us rejoice and
be glad in Him!! :-)

A Re-run and a Come-back!!

It has been a very eventful past year, with lots of experiences
accompanied by adventure, learning, more love and best of all God's
blessings!! I am writing this because I have neglected my role as an
Azizi mommy and most of all as a friend. I am so sorry about that and
it is my hope that as I re-dedicate each day to writing about my
experiences for the whole year I will be able to catch up with you as
well! My love and prayers are always with you and your precious ones
my dear mamas! Phil.1. I miss you all!!
