I went to church yesterday and we sang 'how great is our God' by Chris Tomlin. I just couldn't stop thinking about how great God has been to me this year. So i thought i would list the things i am thankful that the year 2008 has brought forth. I can proudly say that i am ending this year with a smile.
1. My family.. this year i have seen things changes in every aspect for my family and we have become closer than ever before.
2. I finished my first degree and well i am almost getting there...
3. My best friend and I have become closer by day and by night i have no idea, but our relationship has stood the test of time and distance making it only a breath of fresh air as the days go by.
4. My new found friends on blogville....everyday you give me something to smile about, laugh about or shade a tear about. Never a day goes by dull....xx
5. I promise I had alot of them but they all seem to have vanished or are wrapped up in the above..(ooopps..My bad)
I am thankful to God because even when I am faithless he is faithful. He has been more than great . What are you thankful for this year?
The splendor of a King,
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice,
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light,
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice,
And trembles at his voice
CHORUS(1):
How great is our God,
sing with me
How great is our God,
and all will see How great,
How great Is our God
VERSE(2):
Age to age he stands
And time is in His Hands
Beginning and the End,
The Godhead, Three in one
Father,Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb,
The Lion and the Lamb
CHORUS(2)
Name above all names
You are Worthy of all praise
and My heart will sing
how great Is our God(x2)
Happy New year ..xx

I wish you all Joy, peace, a warm meal sounded by friends and family.

Failed to come up with one
She awaited her doom as the night draw closer. She had loved him, she had wanted him and each night she had crossed out a numbers. As days grow nearer, time seemed slower. The clock seemed to lag behind and it seemed like the night took longer to break into day. But now it was about time.
"Janice.", She heard him say. Without turning she knew it was him. She closed her eyes and all she could see was him. She turned around and smiled, he embraced her like he always had. The world stood still. He looked into her eyes and he kissed her, so deep, so passionate. It felt like the first time.
Seven years earlier their paths had crossed, their eyes had met and their hearts were entwined. They journeyed together, got caught in a storm and lost their way. But today it was different. They were in different worlds but they could still connect at a blink of an eye. They were meant to be. It was their destiny, their fate. And as the light turned to darkness she just anticipated the morning.

Men allowed
I know i am a sucker for love and all things loveable..hence thats why i thought i would share this with you all. I can across this article (and guys dont read in between the lines on this one) Apparently this is how you should keep it fresh. By it i mean Love..Since we are heading to the holiday i thought you might want to try this out.
Whether you're in a long-term relationship, or are just looking for new ways to woo the lady in your life, these tips will help you keep love and passion alive with your partner.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: As much as you have to give
Here's How:
1. Tell her you love her. Do you do it enough? Be specific. Say, "Honey, you make me laugh," or "You're the sexiest person I've ever met." Only say it if you mean it. She'll know the difference.
2. Buy her flowers. Do it today! Don't just wait for a special occasion. Surprise her!
3. Take her out on a date. So many long-term couples don't go out on dates, especially if they live together or have kids. A date doesn't have to cost a lot of money. Go see an art opening or a free concert in the park.
4. Make a date for romance. Is your love life in a rut? Plan an evening of intimacy. Turn off the TV, light candles, put on some romantic music, send the kids to a baby sitter or get a hotel room.
5. Tell her she's beautiful.
6. Meet her at the door after a long day of work with a glass of wine and a hot drawn bath.
7. Sit behind her when you're watching TV and rub her shoulders and back. Have her put her feet in your lap and massage them too.
8. Cook her a romantic dinner, complete with candles, flowers and a nice bottle of wine.
9. Have interests of your own, but make time for her. She fell for you because you intrigued her. Keep doing what you love. If you're a well-rounded person, you'll always have things to talk about.
10. Encourage her to follow her heart's desire. Does she have a hidden dream? Does she fantasize of being a famous painter? Buy her an easel. Has she always wanted to climb Mt. Everest? Buy her books on Nepal or a new pair of hiking boots. Does she want to return to school? Help her apply for financial aid. The happier she is with herself, the happier she'll be with you.
11. Find a common hobby or interest. Whether it's attending a church together or watching horror movies. Find something you BOTH like and make time to do it as often as you can.
12. Listen with your ears and your heart. Let her know you're paying attention. Ask her what she would like to make your relationship better. Be open to what she has to say.
13. Follow up your words with actions. Did you promise to go with her to visit her mother? Say you were going to take her out on Saturday night? Return the videos? Do it!
14. Give her space when she needs it. If she needs some time alone, don't take it personally. Everyone's need for personal space is different. Respect hers.
15. Communicate. Listen with respect. Repeat what you heard her say. Validate her points. Validate her.

- Patience
- Compassion
- A shoulder for her to cry on
- Lots of Love
Happy holidays

Still
I don’t know if you still hear me when I call. If I still make sense when I talk to you. Lately Our conversations seem to be growing colder like of two stranger trapped in a deadly storm. We seem to be going through life not caring. We seem like we are leading differently path in life. We had promised, we had agreed never part…we had agreed on forever. I had hope that one day I would be able to sing still and smile. But today the promise of that seems to be sailing away.
Still by Tamia.
Mmmm yea-hey-oh-woah-oh yea-hey-oh-woah-oh-woah
Usually when two people are together for a long time things seem to change
Its been said nothing good lasts forever,
But this love gets better every day,
We get all excited inside,
Every time that we get alone,
He still got love in his eyes
And i still got love in my soul
[Chorus:]
Still, feels like the first time we met that i kissed and i told u i love you,
We still, run around like teenagers even though we're grown and married with kids,
And we still, talk on the phone for hours when am away
He still, writes letters and send me flowers every other day,
The question everybody ask, is how we make it last,
I tell them i still, he still ,we still
Now i still smile in the morning,
When i realise when I’m still in his arms,
We know everything about each other,
But we still keep holding on-yea,
We're never gonna break up
We'll be always there to make up,
As long as we stick together we'll climb higher,
I’m gonna ride with him to the wire,
Our love is never gonna end we're on fire,
[Chorus:]

The question everybody ask, is how we make it last,
I tell them I still he still we still
We go through problems like everybody else
(but I really don’t mind) but I don’t mind cos it
Makes us keep it fresh
What’s sadder than an argument is the thought we may have never been
He's my lover, my baby’s father, my lifetime partner and my friend,
Still the man of my dreams,
He still, still the man for me and I’m still in love with him so deeply,
I think I’ll sing it again
He’s still, still the man of my dreams,
He’s still, still the man for me
And I’m still in love with him deep deeply.

Whisper in the dark
I hear it calling
I hear it through the wind
In the stormy night,
The whisper becomes louder
The light in a distance is only beckoning me to come close
The cold chill of the night becomes intense.
All in a whisper
I am being called home
Home where I belong
Home where I am love
Home where its nice and warm
Its all in a whisper.
Hey guys when is the next BHH...?
I hear it through the wind

Home where I am love
Home where its nice and warm
Its all in a whisper.

Strange Happenings
Oh my this week for me for some reason has been stranger than any other that i can remember.
Monday: -Got a big parcel at round 7am in the morning. I was surprised first because i hadn't ordered anything and second because i wasn't even expecting mail. To open it was from a friend of mine who i haven't talked to in months (she accused me of not having any emotion, not reacting to things as normal people should, that i was living in denial......) The last time we spoke i don't remember what it was about..So she sends me a whole five complete seasons of Ally McBeal...strange but she did.
Tuesday:- I don't really remember what happened there..i think i smiled alot
Wednesday: -I had an appointment , didn't know where i was going, was late for it (Ugandan style) by an hour, Forgot my phone home. But i have an excuse one seemed to know where the place was hence i kept going round in circles like a dog making its territories.I guess i should borrow a leaf from Emi and get a stat nav. I got home later that night and i had 11 messages, 2 voice messages and 9 missed calls...( I am that popular....lol..)
Thursday and Friday: - 0 missed calls, 5 messages, 3 received calls, 0 voice messages...what did i do wrong...i thought i was popular....
Saturday:-
I woke up
I saw you, smiling at me
I saw you, standing by my side
I saw you making me laugh
I saw you telling me its alright.
I saw you hold me hand
Then it was dark again
I couldn't see you anymore
I said your name
But you didn’t answer
I shouted but you didn’t come
My frustration overwhelmed me
I couldn’t feel you near anymore
Today was your day
Today you would be 28
Today was when we were to cut cake
Today was your show
But you haven’t showed up
And I miss you so much
I have tried to be strong
I have tried not to cry
I have tried to believe that you are in a much better place
But it is not the same,
Without you here to dry tears
To hold me and tell me its going to be ok
That its just a bad dream.
You are not here with me.
I do not see you
have a great weekend.

I just couldn't keep my mouth shut.
Well a few days ago I was tagged by Kin’shar and I was awarded The Superior Scribbler Award. Having been the busy bee that I have tended to be the past few weeks I didn’t get a chance to respond to it. So now I want to say Kin’shar honey thank you so much for the award. I finally got my head round it and I just can not fathom. I love you girl and there has never been a greater honour since I join blogville. I have had to share my thoughts, and emotions with one who is so like myself. You’ve been my fan from day one and I really appreciate it. You have won a place in heart.
Apparently I have to give you the rules first ( by the way the are not meant to be broken especially for the likes of The Emrys)
THE RULES
Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass The Award on to 5 most-deserving Bloggy Friends.Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author & the name of the blog from whom he/she has received The Award.
Each Superior Scribbler must display The Award on his/her blog, and link to This Post,which explains The Award.
Each Blogger who wins The Superior Scribbler Award must visit this post and add his/her name to the Mr. Linky List. That way, we'll be able to keep up-to-date on everyone who receives This Prestigious.
These are the people I can not go without reading from. (Hence when you don’t write I worry)
1. The Emrys- The 2 W.E.A.K dudes. Well I am still getting my head round how to read this either as two weak dudes..(i.e the authors) or to weak dudes(those out there) These guys make most of my evenings. After a long day I snuggle up in front of my laptop with a hot chocolate. They defiantly know how to puts a smile on a girls face.
2. Robyn-The Art of Freeverse. From this dude I have learnt the art of freeverse and his blog is full of well written pieces that put any of my writing to shame. I have learnt a lot and been inspired
3.Cheri- Sugar. Spice. And all things nice. This is a girl after my own heart. Through out her adventures in my mind I see myself there. This blog is surely one that I never miss out. Even on a busy, cold, rainy day. It gives me comfort, hope, warmth and a smile even when the heroine is being killed.
4.Carsozy-Crimson. This dudes sense of humour is on another level. At times I have laughed, at times I have cried , at times I have laughed and cried and laughed again till my tummy hurt.
5.Erique-Thought of others. The things this dude comes up with are way out of this world. Sometimes on my way to work I just find my thoughts drifting away to something that he said and I find myself smiling strangely at no one. This blog defiantly makes my day especially the fights between Erique and Princess do make my lips break into a smile.
Well the rules say five but I have been bought up to believe that rules are there to be broke. So my list goes on Princess, Emi, Kai , Nev, Solomon,Lulu, be silent, therisingpage, antipop, Sybella…to mention but a few, if I were to name all you guys I would go beyond the 1000 word limit. Each blog I read, each blog comment on, encourages, inspires, makes me laugh, makes me cry, lifts my spirits up. Though I must ask what happened to Relieved by Mimi does anyone know…?
I would say Merry Christmas but I think it might be too early so I will settle for have a great weekend.

You alone
Never have I loved another
Never have I cried for another
Never have I wanted another
As much as I want you
Times go by, days seem endless
Thoughts wonder a million miles away
But the thought of you still remains
The thought of you captivates my heart
My body and my soul never to let go.
Never have I loved
Never have I cried
Never have I desired
Anyone as much as I desire you .
Never have I cried for another
Never have I wanted another
As much as I want you
Times go by, days seem endless
Thoughts wonder a million miles away
But the thought of you still remains
The thought of you captivates my heart
My body and my soul never to let go.
Never have I loved
Never have I cried
Never have I desired
Anyone as much as I desire you .
