Sources of help...

2 days ago, I got a call and at first I thought it was one of my friends trying to pull a fast trick on me. But as the  conversation progressed, I found out that it was not just a genuine call but a really important one and in fact one of the answers to the prayers I had made. At this point, I put on my game face, game voice and I sat uprightly hahaha. This was because I had actually just got in from a long day after driving 21 miles with traffic on the road, I was just knackered, snacking and watching TV curled up on the couch while waiting for dinner to heat up when the call came in. The funny thing is that I knew someone else who was formerly in that position but never deemed it necessary to be of help...... But come to think of it, if the help had come from her, I would have been indebted to her and every form of my success in that area would have been attributed to her help. But here I am, being helped by someone I barely know, never met but he's trusting me with so much money and not just that but speaking to others and getting them to equally partner with me in this project. It can only be God!! He does it so that all the praise goes to Him. The scripture that comes to mind is that "He calls those things that are not as though they were" Rm 4: 17.

The problem with hoping that certain people help us  is that we begin to have unrealistic expectations and because they are human, there is  quite a high tendency for them to fall short. Today put your absolute trust in God, He has a way of doing things that leave us speechless. He will always send help...

In 2018, there will be tough days and easy days but I pray that in all, we will always find many reasons to smile just as I am smiling in the picture 😊. However may our smiles not just be for the click of the camera but may it be due to an overflowing joy that flows from our heart & the assurance that comes from knowing that in spite of the tough days, 'it is indeed well'

Enjoy the rest of the 354 days of 2018 😉
