History like a weaved fabric

“... history is like a giant piece of fabric with very intricate and complex patterns. During the minted span of our lifetimes we see only a tiny fraction of the pattern. Furthermore, as been observed by others, we see the pattern from the underside. The underside of a weaving usually makes no sense. Even the upper side makes little sense if we view just a tiny piece. Only God sees the upper side, and only He sees the entire fabric with its complete pattern. Therefore, we must trust Him to work out all the details of history to His glory, knowing that His glory and out good are bound up together."

From Trusting God: Even when life hurts by Jerry Bridges, page 94; NavPress.

I write

I write to capture flying birds
To neatly arrange them in nests
And feed them
All on a baobab tree
Before they fly away
To be a blessing
To my eager and curious readers

God bless ya,

God defines you
He made you
His Word, which is the TRUTH defines you

♥ ♥ ♥

You are chosen by God, Himself (1 Peter 2:4)
You are precious to Him (1 Peter 2:4)
You are a living stone (1 Peter 2:5)
God’s special possession (1 Peter 2:9)
A royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9)
God love for you is eternal & even longer than your ‘Best Friend Forever’ (Jeremiah 31:3)
You’ve been marked with a Seal, who guarantees the fulfillment of The Promises
(Ephesians 1:11-14)

.... and on and on and on... the everlasting truth goes (Isaiah 40:8). His Word is forever, so is His Love!

This is to encourage readers and myself as well to focus and live on what's true. There is so much more that God has to say about who we are and His love for us. You’ve got to search the Scriptures for more! :- )

God loves you,
Lady Akofa.

I will get there

I know I will get there,
But I don’t know how to get there.

So LORD, I need you to lead me
To guide me through this winding road
To the place called home.
For You are The Sure Way.

In this world theories abound
Lies and deception lead astray
But You are the Unshakable Truth
My Rock who keeps me sane.



I don’t know all the answers
But I know that You are the Answer
The only Answer I need for this life
What You say is final and good
I hold on to You.

I know I will get there.
Home is the place to be.

(No, SHE is not me but a kind student posing as a model. :-))

I will get there,
Lady Akofa.
