    For many years, I searched for happiness in all the wrong places and with all the wrong people. The hurt, disappointments, the emptiness, the loneliness and my physical limitations sunk me in such a low place, I thought I would find more peace and comfort in death.


    Then 1 year ago when I was in Trinidad while speaking to a Christian Friend, she asked me a very sobering question ... "Sister Angela" tell me something .. Do you ever remember a time in your life when you were happy?" ... I said yes .. it was the time when we were spent our time in Prayer and we did Christian things together. I miss that! Esther smiled and said .. I missed you too but Our Lord jesus Christ, misses you most.


    We prayed together. In the middle of praying she sang a song that tore through everything I have ever felt and opened a new place in my heart, and I surrendered it all to Jesus. Today when I look back at the wretched person I was, all I can say is .. Thank You Lord for filling this empty cup.

    It is so hard being a human sometimes .. I make mistakes, I say things in the heat of the moment that I end up regretting, but I suppose it was for those reasons and then some, I wonder how is it and why would God would find me worthy of sending His Son to shed His blood for.

    If we would see the color of our future, we must look for it in our present; if we would gaze on the star of our destiny, we must look for it in our hearts. We can only do that in total surrender.

    I have lived a lot in my time, I knew what it is to be poor and and I know what it is to be rich ... but I have learnt the most important lesson .. If I did not have Christ in my life, I had nothing!

    Isn't amazing how we who are children of The King have never looked on the other side of the Cross.

    This is probably one of the greatest promises that anyone can make to themselves, with assurance that at the end of this life .. we will be rewarded by our Heavenly father.

    Calvary was a "legal" work. An event of such magnitude that the Righteous demands of a Thrice Holy God were forever satisfied .. and that is why the Cross of Calvary made the difference.

    A lot people ask me about my walk with God [Christianity]. A lot of them even question me about what they perceive to be conflicting stories in the Bible.

    This is my candid response;

    First of all, we can’t walk with God if there is no relationship. Walking with God isn’t presented as following a list of rules. It is the way we conduct ourselves. There isn’t a rule or law that could specify what to do in every situation and decision that we may face in our lives. Therefore, we need a guide more than a rulebook. That guide to God through Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit.

    John 14:6
    Jesus said; I am the way the truth and the life, no man can come to the Father but through me
    John 14:16
    I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever
    John 14:26
    But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

    There are many times—most times—when we do not have a Bible on our person and we are faced with a decision or even a temptation. We can't look at our Bibles to see if we should do this or that or if one action is sin and another is righteous. So we need to know God personally so that we would be led by His spirit and not depend on rules and regulations. We need to have a relationship with God so that we would know him personally and not merely through the pages of a book.

    How did I ever get to the place in Christ Jesus? It wasn't until I completely surrendered my broken life and asked God to have His own way.
