This Woman Right Here In My Heart

People in the world talk and tell about many fascinating stories they find dearest in their hearts.

Love, entertainment, survival and adventures. At best, all these furores carry different weights and meaning for different folks.

You see, I have moments in my life way back as a young orphaned boy which bring tears of joy to my heart.

I was raised by my big brother and big sister as an orphan from eight. These two people took over where Mama left, carried and guided my life to what it is today.

I had nobody else to cry and run to after my mother passed on. My sister and brother became my real parents, I was never alone in a lonely world!

Just where do I begin to tell about this woman right here in my heart? No boy has experienced so much love which only God can give!

One day I was excitedly told my big brother was getting married the next Saturday. O boy! I was thrilled to the clouds!

Without exaggerating. I was happy as a puppy to say the least. My smiles stretched all the way from ear to ear. I couldn’t sleep as I eagerly waited to meet my new Mom.

Then finally, came this dream day which overshadowed all other events in my life. It was the day, and we danced, sang and laughed as our neighbours joined in this great celebration.

This woman right here in my heart! God knows I was happy as if I was the one getting married. Nothing in the world compares to this one day in the whole life of this orphaned boy!

My big brother’s wife became everything my dreams were made of. Hey you! Linah became the New Queen in our house. I was happy.

This woman right here in my heart. Cooked, washed my clothes and above all else, she loved me like a rock!. Linah Mbele was my Superstar.

I was proud to have her in my fragile life. Just going to and coming back from school, retiring to sleep.. I knew she’s around. I felt richer than the richest boy in the world!

Her demeanour, beauty and ever smiling face, complimented her beautiful heart and soul. My late Mother was risen in her stillness!

This woman right here in my heart! I loved her with all my heart! This poor boy was happy.

One day returning home for winter school holidays, Linah came out running, picked me up like a baby, kissed, embraced me in her own special way.

I was loved and all the reasons to mourn my late Mama were diminished!

Though gone for over a decade today.  Linah Mbele. My sunrise, sunset, moon and stars. I survive her loss by living inside her drizzling rain of her sweet memories

Rest in Power and in Peace my Dearest Sister and Mother.

Your day on earth is done! This woman right here in my heart.

Your loving footprints remain embedded inside the chambers of my heart... Forever!

MY BABY.... SHE'S ALL I GOT!

Feelings, in whatever mood matter sometimes.. . If I must open the window of my heart and let you see the real backdrop behind this narrative... this is it. After being let down by my first daughter and after we've agreed for her to meet her little sister for the very first time... I was very distraught. She withdrew at the last minute. I went to bed with a very heavy heart. I believe the Spirit whispered inside my sad heart these sweet words in the dead of the night. I tossed and turned as I began to listen to my heart, comforting and propping and lifting me higher than I thought I could ever climb. Everything else is history after this amazing encounter of wrestling with these incredible words and lines in my heart. Waking up the following morning was nothing but a formality as I began to smooth all the way to my last verse. Yes, yes... She's My Baby and She's All I Got ! Reflections, realignment, retracing and recollections of the life spectacled usually incognito to the

IN PURSUIT OF A DREAM!

In Pursuit Of A Dream!   Life is great and life is hard! Life is cruel and life is not fair! These are some of the most common overtones heard daily from Space. If the Almighty were to afford you a rare chance to sit on top of the Globe for one day: you like God, will hear these conjectures coming from the corridors of life below.   We live in the noisiest and the most congested Planet as humans. If God had offered a choice to parents in which Planet, they’d wish to have their babies born. Our population would not have risen to Eight Billion Souls as it were.   There are thousands of adverbs used to describe the very life we’re all part of. Life is subject to individual’s interpretation the same had gone through this twisting and endless labyrinth of Human Race and Pilgrimage to nowhere .   Once upon a time. In the busiest day for parents and their kids, who had excelled after their twelve yearlong school of education and gained their deserved university entrance pass.  Thi

SO, YOU THINK YOU HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD?

COMMENTS ... Sometimes, to think that I'm in charge of what I write, where and when I like: is just a wish.  Yesterday I wrote a complete Soweto June 16th Uprisings Tribute.. two hours later, I've had to delete the whole thing. Why? Because l had no witness of the Spirit in my heart.  Well, that's just me! God gave me all these Thoughts and Words to play with the rest of my life. I have gazillion words to play around with.  This narrative came over me early this morning. I felt like God was reminding me of the Covenant between Him and Jesus.  Kenneth Copeland and all the false teachers dance around their mega churches and brag about the Covenant they never had.  I'm always left speechless whenever I see thousands run behind false teachers and false prophets as if they cannot read the Bible for themselves.  I follow Jesus in His Word and nobody else. I am the addict of the Doctrine of Christ!  Nothing fascinates and moves my heart and soul like the anointed Word of God!
