Here's the special love story of my very special friends - The Devlins!

Tara and I had met a few times but it was only when we were both leaders at a national youth conference in Scotland that I had the moment where I thought "this girl has something about her". Tara was the speaker at one of the main meetings and it was the things she said that really made an impression on me. It was clear that she was a woman of God and really wanted to honour God with her life. Thankfully she's now my wife and she's such a blessing. Recently we've had some challenging situations to deal with and she's been a fantastic support. I want to big her up for these reasons and many more.

How did you meet your significant other?

Taken

A blessing given, a privilege taken... What would you have grown up to be? Who can say? You never lived long enough To swim across the river like the bigger boys, To climb mango trees, hunt for ‘swims’, Suck cocoa seeds all day in the summer, Collect bird egg, go to market on your own. You never lived to learn how to play an instrument Maybe the drums or the guitar Or maybe the piano, the trombone They can never tell the tale of how you studied hard For the GSAT or maybe the CXC, CAPE, SAT, GRE... Or even how you never loved the books but could sing, Dance, draw, cook, paint, fix tings good. Ever describe that look on your face when You get your first job, purchase your first car, Start your own business, experience loss, bounce back ‘Check you first catty’, marry her Gracefully receive a position of leadership Walk into your own house, hold your first child in your hands. Who, what, and how can they ever explain why y...

The Story Behind-'Cherish the Love'

Ok...here's the story behind this event. I have two blogs that are my pride and joy that I like to experiment with, one can be traced back to me and the other is fairly anonymous (innocent stuff:). So I was doing some updates and checking out the stats, tweeting and all of that when I stumbled across #februarywish as a group/topic/search trending worldwide on twitter! Anyway, not surprisingly, most of the persons on there were throwing a pity party online and I could so relate. Bah Humbug! Last year that was my position. I even wore full Black (was going for the Mortisha Adams look) to the Pre-Valentine's Dinner I attended and was sour most of the time to say the least. Mid-way through the dinner and even during my 'on-stage performance', I just wanted to go home, not even company in misery could cure this case. You see the thing with Valentine's day is that there is no fooling yourself...you can't ignore it (unless of course, you are half robot). It is just...

The Unchanging One

In awe of you I stand, examining your plan for this life and the next, but all the world’s a mess My vision is at best clouded and all around me shrouded by the darkness that unfolds in the most unlikely of places I see it on those faces Once filled with your joy and peace Now they’re longing for release From the sickness and disease in life See how they struggle with the strife that seeks to pull them under Lord sometimes I wonder, when will it all end? But until then Until the answer comes When at last the battle’s done My gaze will remain transfixed Never flailing, forever remaining with you The Unchanging One. ~Live Life, Love God, One Enkounter at a Time~
