I smile recklessly and I love excessively. I live today knowing I have no other day until tomorrow. Now is my moment. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is a mystery, but today, today is my gift (present).

I've moved to a new neighbourhood

I got a forwarding which made me think of my situation. I think I've over-extended my temporary visa and it's time to upgrade to a permanent one. I've often complained to God how 'my' situations and storms are big and complicated and in all I forget to address the situations and storms (they are not mine any more, I refuse them) by telling them how big and understanding my God is.

I reviewed my drive recently, and the findings were shocking. Many times I ask God to lead me, but in actual sense I drive myself. I miss junctions on motorways, I go beyond/below the speed limit and get penalties, I forget the road works, yet in all I'm too quick to ask God 'where were You in all these'. I search 'my location' in my GPS, often forgetting that He is the GPS.

Before I start something else, here is the forwarding...

"Can't remember if I told you that:

I have moved out from Beggars Alley, located at 2 Poverty Lane at the corner of Down and Out Circle. As of today, I have a brand new home.

My new address is Living Well on 231 Abundance Terrace, located at the corner of Blessings Drive and Prosperity Peak . It's in the God Can neighborhood. I will no longer allow myself to travel to the other side of town on Begging Peter to Pay Paul Route, located at a dead end intersection called I Don't Have, which connects with Borrowers Junction! .

I no longer hang out at Failure's Place, near Excuses Avenue , next to
procrastination Point. I've moved to an upscale community called Higher Heights with unlimited potential and opportunities for my success. I can do ALL things through CHRIST who strengthens me!

Life is good because God is good!

Care to change your address?

There are many vacancies!

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS OH LORD!

I AM WELL BLESSED AND SO ARE YOU!!!!!!"


I have therefore decided to claim one of the mansions next to the forwardee. There are still more vacancies, and they are yours for the claiming. Hope to see you in my new neighbourhood, soon.

Did you know that if you drive over 70mph and below 93mph on the motorway if caught it's a traffic offence? Beyond 93mph is a criminal offence.

I watched this on telly. If caught above 93mph in UK, no questions asked, no negotiating, no points issue. Licence taken on the spot. Guy I watched had to call for help to have his car driven from the spot back home.

Amen what a lovely forward :) indeed we are blessed

Mhmmm! For a sec there I thought u'd joined the blogger to wordpress migration:) Hope you enjoy your new place.

Maua said...

@Prettylyf, it blessed me immensely.
@Kei, It's another form of migration. The neighbourhood is good, but you need a tour guide. My old neighbourhood was like Mexico city - overpopulated, this one, exceptional. Should I reserve a mansion?

I have been receiving similar messages in all shapes and forms, so thank you for sharing this. I am currently making the move, but trying to shake off the desire to drive by my old house and revisit its familiar spots.

Onward and upward!

Petesmama, I just took my son, everything else will be added......

Thank you for sharing this. I am trying to make the move, just waiting on God to open some doors some I can burst right on through them! Very encouraging indeed.
