Dearest Abba

Dearest Abba,My Father,

You are always on my mind. Whatever and wherever I am, You are always there at the forefront of my thoughts. And I would not have it any other way Father. I am always mindful of how much love You shower on me each day and how You cradle me in the comfort of Your protection and peace every night. I just so love You, dearest Abba! But even more than this, I am so glad that You first loved me; that You planned for my deliverance from slavery, from unhappiness, mortality, from pain and suffering, from deceit, dishonesty and disappointment. I am so glad that You have enticed me back to You with your deep, incomprehensible, infinite agape love which surpasses all human comprehension.

Did ever a daughter have so loving a Father as I have in You?! Human parents fall short; they mess up but You Oh my Lord, has never failed me yet! When I need You,day or night,You are always there for me. I can depend on You. I can ask You to take care of something and I do not have to think about it, or wonder if and when. I know with profound certainty that You will take care of it; I know that You will do so in a comprehensive way that looks at every possible angle, and then decide that which is best for me,and for all who may be impacted by the outcome.

I just love to be in Your Presence all day long; talking with You, thinking, meditating on Your Words as I pursue my daily tasks. I whisper to You, question You for divine direction, for answers, for strategies, for advice. I love to take special time out to commune with You, to hear from You, to sit with , cry with, laugh with, dance with You, be embraced in Your unfailing love. Oh how I love and adore You my Father!! How I love to spend my time enjoying Your grace, Your favor, Your many gifts to me. I even love the lessons You teach me, even when some are painful to go through. But You are always with me, seeing me through, giving me Your strength, Your wisdom, Your Holy Spirit to get me through .. through to my blessings, my next level, my inheritance in Christ Jesus my Saviour, my Brother,My Kinsman Redeemer.

Do You know Father that Jesus is the very best gift of all, the very best favor, the greatest blessing, the most precious thought that You have for me, the biggest most awesome inheritance from a dad to a kid? Yes Father, Jesus is my portion. In Him "I live and move and have my being". Without Him I would be lost to You and You to me. So I really want to keep on thanking You for Jesus,for all eternity. And what is more, I thank You for my abundant life through Him, and I thank You that Your Words can never fail to bring a harvest of life, health, wealth, peace, prosperity and eternal rewards.

I love You my Heavenly Father and Your praise shall continually be in my mouth!!!

With all my Heart, Mind, Body and Soul. Divinely, Your Daughter, LadyZaidie

For Starters, Praise God For Empty!!

In My Office At Work - Picture Taken To Publish In The Company's October Newsletter!

I just have not had a chance to catch my breath! It's been all go since the 7th of September to now. The Lord is Blessing me BIG TIME!! It's like being caught up in a whirlwind except being securely stashed in the centre of it. So all is peace and calm where you are but all around, everything is just being turned every which way!! I am dizzyingly happy, enjoying every blessed moment,praising all the way. God is just so AWESOME! I Love Him. He is my Abba,I am His daughter!!

What am I going on about this time? Well,you all remember my last but one blog when I said I was empty but excited about what the Lord was gonna do in my life next?! Just read it again if you have forgotten! Well this is IT! NEXT!

I had been applying for jobs for over 3 years consistently, sent out over 800 applications! No one wanted me. I was persona non gratia,it seemed and felt. Also, for various reasons which kept changing,I wanted to return to London. I just could not make it happen either. I was in a rut. STUCK!! I tried everything I knew how. I wriggled and squirmed,I prayed and cried,I ignored and berated my circumstances,I was determined to change stuff. Nothing changed. I was still stuck where I was standing.

Since I was standing I decided to "Stand Still, having done all, to just stand". Sound advice from the Psalmist ... he ought to know, being a man after God's own heart and all! Then I decided I might as well just sit while I was standing around anyway. And while I was sitting I started to think. I thought until I was all thought out. I was empty. This I told you guys about.

At first I hated being empty but there was nothing for it,I was completely EMPTY!!

Then, I KNEW something. You know when you know that you know something?! The Holy Spirit told me SOMETHING. This is the SOMETHING that He told me - "Being Empty is Good. Excellent in fact! Being empty was the time to get ready...Get ready to be filled up by the Lord". I shared this good news with you all. So I started praying, and praying. Then my praying turned to praising.

So I started praising. Like Jehoshaphat, the "Battle was not mine, but the Lord's". So I kept praising. It's amazing how much there is to praise God for when you get praising through the Holy Spirit. I was praising the Lord for the past,the present and in advance,for the future. I have been praising God for being God,for my Redeemer,for Salvation,for Mercy and Grace,for Life,for my Children,Family,Friends, for Prosperity,Love,Peace,for Blue Skies and the Rain,the Sunlight and Chocolate!! You name it,I praise God for it. Most of all, I praised Him for 'Filling Me up to Overflowing'.

Within a period of one week beginning the 7th September,I got a job offer,tickets to London and I was off. I arrived on Monday 13th September,PM. I started work on Tuesday, 14th September,AM and I have not had a minute since then. The education authorities said Zac would be out of school for around 4 weeks. Zac is in school after being out for 2 weeks!! I have secured accommodation suitable for us. I got paid my first pay check; a half a month's salary. I have been in London for 3 weeks now. How about that for the WHIRLWIND!

Sometimes HE IS NOT IN THE WHIRLWIND,RIGHT ELIJAH,BUT SOMETIMES ... HALLELUJAH, SOMETIMES HE IS!!

What am I saying then? Praise God for "Empty", Praise God for the Whirlwind, Just Praise Him and see what He can do! I will keep you all posted. GOT TO GO Praise Him In ADVANCE FOR THE FILLING THAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. BELIEVE!!

LOVE, BLESSINGS AND OVERFLOW!! LadyZaidie
