Christmas Again

Hey there,

I know I know, i have been missing in action and i truly apologize for that.... Ah well, I am just sitting here thinking of how wonderful christmas is... (the picture above shows Jenin and a super cool cuz, Lydia at christmas last year) I do not actually believe that the 25th December was Jesus' birthday and we do not actually celebrate that date as his birth. However, i do believe that Christmas is my favourite time of year. This is the period where all my family members (all 100, 000 of them....lol) come together - forgetting all squabbles and disagreements.... All christmases are spent with my family..... We decorate our huge christmas trees and place gifts under them....Myia gets all excited and shakes every present with her name on it..... Then on christmas day, we wake up early to open gifts, to make great, big breakfasts and to cook the christmas lunch/dinner....And absoluteltly not forgetting the fruit cakes that Myia and I stuff our faces with....

I absolutely love the family aspect of christmas... The fact that basically everyone is around and perhaps I feel more loved then, than any other day....

I am excited about this christmas because my family members are going to be coming down and i really really really really reallly reallllly do love the "togethernessness" of christmas......lol

Until next time
Adieu

Hi there, I have been away for a long time being busy and all of that.....So first of all I would like to convey my sympathy to St Lucia because we have lost a great man, Sir John George Melvin Compton....Whether or not i agreed with him returning to politics, he was a great man who was very much concerned with education as a way for us to go forward....He won the general elections because St Lucians knew him well and they had faith in the fact that He would work for the people and with the people...Sir John was well loved by the people....Though young, I know that Sir John has done a great deal for St Lucia and thus, I would like to convey my sincere thanks.....I know God will continue to bless his family and St Lucia as a whole.....

Due to the death of the father of the Nation, Sir John G. M. Compton, our new Prime Minister is Dr Stephenson King....As a result of him being Prime Minister there was a slight reshuffle in the cabinet but basically everything remasined the same... I hope that our new PM will continue Our Father's legacy.....

I will come back to politics another time but at this moment, I would like to introduce you to a new addition to our family, Princess Caitlin A. Kisna.....Jenin's and Matthew's daughter.....This child was born on the 20th September 2007 at 6 am at 8 lbs 15 ozs....When I found out she was born, that was honestly, the most joyous day of my life.....I could think of no one but her and i was prompted to call everybody i knew to inform them that this angel was finally born....From the moment I saw her, I can tell you that I have never ever loved any body more than I love her.....I felt an immediate bond......A bond that makes me want to protect her and love her forever.....

I have always liked children but this feeling was totally new to me....Her crying does not disturb or annoy me......everything she does, seems absolutely adorable....I simply want to thank God that this little angel came out beautiful and healthy.....I think she has her Mom's mouth.....LOL...I am severely proud of her mummy for carrying her for nine months and two weeks after her due date.....

Caitlin, I'd just like to tell you that you are incredibly beautiful and no matter what life hands you, you will Always be loved by us all.....Your Mummy and Daddy are the happiest and the cutest parents I have ever seen....Congratulations you guys..... I love you....

Im longing for Heaven

Hi there... yes i do recognize that I am almost a stranger.... but i am here now and that's all that matters.... I desperately need to converse with you on the state of our government, but according to Rick Wayne, I will leave that for another show.

It's friday evening and i am truly thankful for the fact that the Lord has brought me through another week. We may not realize this but everyday we are alive, it is because of God and he's wonderful, miraculous powers...

I am far from perfect! In fact, there are times when I do absolutely everything wrong and there are times when i say and think wrong things. I admit it, I am a christian but a far from perfect one. As a christian, i believe that the Saviour Jesus Christ died to redeem us from our sins. As a christian I believe that in order to maintain a close relationship with God, we have to spend time in He's word. Through fervent study of the bible, i believe we attain a connection with our heavenly father. As a christian I believe that there is a need for faith in the relationship with God.

As a christian, i believe that we should always try to preach the gospel in everything we do because according to Paul, faith without works is dead and in Hebrew, a book of the bible, he stated that Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. As a christian i believe that with God, all things are possible.

Now i will admit that as a christian, it is not easy. In fact many times you will falter like i have in many of the choices that i have made but no matter what, i believe that God works. In 1 chronicles 4:10, Jabez simply asked for what he desired and God gave him that which he had requested. Jabez began he's prayer like this "God that you may bless me indeed...." that is what faith is all about my friends and in this case, Jabez had enough faith to ask for what he wanted and expect that God would provide. That is the true kind of faith that all christians should have. I am in desperate need of that kind of unwavering FAITH.

God is never late and if we simply believe in Him and His word, I believe that we would achieve our utmost desires. We simply have to ask and believe without any doubt in our minds that we will truly recieve what we have asked for.

Friends, I am truly longing for heaven. It is truly ridiculous to allow small things in this world to prevent us from going to Heaven. The ten commandments and the entire bible has given us the law as to how we should live. The father sent his only begotten son to die on the cross, i believe that it within us to try our best to follow Christ after all that He has done for us. Friends, i am truly longing for my Heavenly home. This place that has promised to be wonderful because there will be no more pain or sorrow, poverty, hatred, murders and so on. I think whether you are Atheist, Hindu or whatever, there is still this element of hope within, that after death, there is something.

Well friends, that something is Jesus. After death, Jesus Christ has promised us a second coming and He has suggested in He's word that the dead in Christ shall rise first and they will be caught up to meet Him in the air. Friends, I cannot wait for that day. I am truly longing for heaven. I beg of you, do not allow alcohol, gambling, sex, lies, stealing, lusting, covetousness, envy and all of these things to keep you from walking side by side with the Son of God, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Friends, I pray that your life will be blessed by the holy touch of God. Until we meet again, goodbye!
