What a week

So much happened in the last seven days. So many different feelings passes through this heart of mine. So many questions.

Sunday as an emotional mothers day as I received the holy spirits blessings and was gifted with the tongue. Itself bring forth feeling of happiness, relief, gratefulness and a special spiritual overall that no words could describe.

Monday we discovered that our shoe rack was looted of the men's shoes. After taking stock with the 2 sons, 9 pairs were gone which includes a broken pair, daddy's new walking shoes for Italy, A's newly repaired working shoes and Au tracking boots which was a hand over fr a cousin. The monetary lost was not much but it meant further shopping.Naturally that brought forth the alarm man to suggest a photo beam. Feelings of being vulnerable and and regret for being too complacent sprouted.

Thursday night was a frightening night as we discover a break in right as we were in. With God's grace that made us armed the house much earlier than usual, the intruder left as the alarm sounded but not without costing damages to the gate, grille and window. Praise the Lord for M, alarm man, the repairs and reinforcement was done the next day. Oh the invasion of privacy, the hard knock of the danger we could have faced and the waking up that we could have lost our life brought cold sweat to me. I can't rest well and sleep eludes me.More than that, I need to suppress myself for the sake of others around me. Oh what a mess.

Soon thoughts of other thing came up. Breaking of fridge door, broken antenna, broken shoes, punctures in a car all within this short frame of time.Is it another test of faith The chill that flows through and the heaviness of the heart but i refuse to buckle. My faith in Him holds. I feel the crumbling and I holds on to His promise.At church today worship was energising and it strengthen me.I would be lying if I say it was back to normal. But I am determine to claim His strength to stand strong; for myself and for the family.For my prayers to be answered.

Oh what a week.
