BEING A WIFE TO MY HUSBAND

What a blessing being married to Andy kits my lovely husband...what a joy it is and how it brings me so much peace that i often thank God for him.
A very down to earth calm man, very soft spoken, has such a sweet spirit, not easily angered, very forgiving ( keeps no record of wrongs), just a good example of what the bible says about love in 1corinthians 13. Such a loving man...very handsome yet not proud at all...how amazing this man is, he provides yet we both work, he supplies, helps me at home with house chores, cares for me, looks after me,remembers my birthday...lol, pays bills, caters for my hair bills...even pedicure and manicure... Am dependent on him for strength and courage, understands me when am down and talks me out of it, my prayer partner, my companion, Leader,  to mention but afew. Loving me when I least deserve being the person I understand I am;

Barbra, I, the one writing this is a very stubborn human being, loves herself to bits,likes to be independent (less of that now...hahahahaha),entitled to her opinion, very annoying, not perfect at all, easily angered, very playful and sometimes child- like and I tell you looking at me in the mirror... I can not put up with me, its hard to even think and imagine how my husband puts up with all that...we are so different in nature. "Oba Akikola'tya?" How does he even do it...?


Thinking about my husband reminds me of  how the bible likens man, the head of the family to Christ the head of the church and how he has loved us...which takes me to his character traits...very forgiving, loving and I get so amazed and marvel at how he has forgiven our past...present and future sins and how he loves us regardless of want we have done or do...he remembers not our transgressions as his bride...he has loved us with no exepections and he cares not if we are perfect or not because either way we can never be perfect but rather perfected in him. He provides for us even when we don't appreciate, he cares for us when we least deserve it. The love of Christ is tremendous, indescribable. Christ is LOVE.

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.


These days power is been on and off where we stay...dark nights most of the times and I have been experiencing hard time figuring out and putting together most of the things without proper lighting or no light at all. Having no light is the hardest time for me...its frustrating and unpleasant, I literary struggled to put together a meal for my husband and I as it took longer than necessary for me to put things together and as I sat to have my meal, my mind was thinking of many things and somehow it settled on thinking about people that do not know Christ, and I thanked Christ for the light.... John 8:12 says "... I am the light of the world.The person of follows me will never live in darkness..." I became very happy about the light( Christ) that I don't need to grope in the dark yet at the same time my heart crushed for these people who are still in the dark...in self condemnation... In hatred...in strife... Jealous and the like. I thought of Gen 1:1-3 ...then God said,"Let there be light!" And it brought so much understanding of light than I understood it before. Light is everything I need for me to properly do what I need to do...Jesus at the center providing us with this undying light is a such a privilege which is available to everyone that perceives and accepts it to be part of their lives.

Jesus being the light is also life ( John 1:4) verse 4 reads; In him there was LIfe. That life was light for the people of the world. In another verse he says he is the way, the truth and the life. Where there is light, there is life and truth and this light lights the way. I just love the fact that I know this truth and that there is light shining towards my way and that I can never stumble when am with him and that I have life through this wonderful light that has shone and lit my path and that there is no more darkness...strife, hatred, am Free from all that because my way is clearer than ever. Am in him and he is in me and I can move without any hardship. That is the light of the world. Receive it and you shall fall no more. The light shines in the darkness. And the darkness has not overpowered the light; there is so much power in having this light. It can never be overpowered... Not by anyone or anything. It is powerful walking in the light and am proud to be one of the people walking in this light as the righteousness of the lord and I would  love so badly  for  everyone  around  me to experience  this  beautiful  thing...the light of the world.
