✝️ IntraOrdinary Faith: Reckless Love

-
When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me.You have been so, so good to me.When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me.You have been so, so kind to me. And oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God. Oh it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine. And I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away. Oh the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah 
Full song  

I performed this song on our annual Christmas service in 2019 but today on the 11th of January 2020 it begins to make sense as my victory song for the event that unfolded a couple of weeks later on the 9th of January 2020.

Here it is in summary
The Lord delivered me from many troubles. This morning on my way to work. I run into a parked car and my car capsized. Then an incoming vehicle run into me while I was in that position. I managed to come out with just a few scratches. My car is not as damaged as it could have been. I should have lost my life, but the Lord stopped death from laying it’s hands on me. God is merciful. This is a miracle all the eye witnesses said it looked so bad. I remember that after I was rescued from the car, one of the onlookers, a bus driver came up to me screaming “You made it girl, you made it! You are one of the lucky ones. People don’t survive such accidents!”. 
09-01-2020 God saves

This is a true account of my car crash two days ago. I made it alive and I am able to share my testimony with you. Just so you know, I have been working on my biographical book for the past 3 years. Here is an extract.

The day went smoothly. All my classes went well and I only narrated my accident to 3 other staff members. I would rather not narrate this part. 
By the evening of the 10th, my sentiments had somehow changed. I didn’t feel so grateful that my life had been spared. I began to question why God would save me instead of uncle KK. I don’t know but I thought that the best Newton to be saved (and healed) should have been Uncle KK. 
I didn’t really want to die but I wanted a supernatural experience, at least I wanted to see a light, an angel or something; to shake me up when I recovered from it all. 

I didn’t think of my immediate family’s pain nor consider their lack of finances. I wish they would know me well enough to know that I would like a simple burial. They shouldn’t keep my corpse for too long...2-3 weeks should be fine. 

By morning the next day, I was beginning to change my mind about it all. Certainly by midday, my thoughts led me to this conclusion. ‘God saved me because He loves me and He is always with me. The love must be deeper than I thought because He could have done the incredible miracle with my extremely ill uncle but He chose to save me although I feel hopeless and have given up many times in life. He must believe in me this much to keep me alive and if I fully accepted Him for me then He will  be able to make some drastic changes with this occasionally self-hating soul.

If you are reading this account, you are alive and if you are alive, you are still important. God loves you, Jesus loves You and He has many plans for your life. Plans for good and not for evil, says the Lord. Will you accept Him as your Lord and personal Saviour? Say this prayer wherever You are 



And Till next time,

Happy Living,

Claudy xoxo

    Thank God for ur life. Condemnation is one thing the enemy uses against us Christians making us feel not worthy of who we are in Christ. There is a reason for whatever that happens to us. So next time you go through anything that makes feel unworthy of the life God has given u, remember there is No Condemnation for those in Christ. Btw hv my condolences

My To-Be List for age 30 and beyond

My birthday is coming up soon. And for me I often see birthdays as an opportunity to reflect, review and set some new goals. Basically birthdays are like my version of New Year's resolutions.  Very soon (next year) I will be turning the big 30, And I still have a lot of things I want to accomplish, to tighten up and to break down ... especially insecurities. As you read my list, you'll notice that these are mostly mental habits or personal behaviours as opposed to physical habits. I was going to make a list of 30 things but I realised that would take too much time to read and would even take too much time to write in the first place. Here are a list of 10 things I would like to apply in my life on a daily basis (or as frequently as possible) by age 30 and beyond. 1. Read . I am a very slow reader. I mean 🐌 kind of slow. This makes me not enjoy reading so much. In fact, I think I can only usually manage reading for 20 minutes, afterwards I lose interest and switch on YouTube. S

Being Extraordinary

As promised, here it goes...my eureka moment finally comes into manifestation.  In my last post, I was trying to explain the roots of the name for the blog 'Intraordinary', which is basically made up of the words 'introvert/introversion' and 'extraordinary'. It was purposely coined as the name for this blog to represent the amazing ways of an introvert. If you are an introvert, you would understand what I refer to (hopefully). From my conversations in the past few days, I have come to understand that there might be certain aspects of introversion that 'stand-out' the most.  It's the shyness or quietness part that was attributed to introversion. I really don't want to start going into detail about the subject as I have noticed I am already ...     straying ....                   off ...                            course ... I will try to put together something soon, but for now back to "Being Extraordinary". For this moment, I put asi

Dear Singleton...Part 1

Don't compromise. Estimated reading time: 3 minutes As I sit here in my usual writing spot, I am happy that I have FINALLY been able to put "pen to paper" to write this blog. It's been on my mind for so long and damn if only I had written this when inspiration was at it's peak, it would have been a really good blog post. But regardless, here we are 3 weeks after, finally doing this, so let's go! As you may have noticed, I always begin my blog post with a quote. This one here is secretly my favourite Bible quote but I always say I don't really have one when asked that question. Daughters of Jerusalem [Replace that with S isters, friends, girlfriends ], I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. Song of Solomon 8:4 Precisely 28 days ago, I was flattered by the thought that I might have met someone...you know...for a potential romantic relationship. But as life will have it, time always tells.
