WHO DO YOU CALL UPON IN YOUR DAY OF TROUBLE?
There are things God is waiting eagerly for us to bring to Him as Our Heavenly Father. We don’t have to wait until those things choke us down to the grave because by then we will have no strength to even call Him. In John 10 : 14 Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.

There was a lot to be done and I was so determined to finish all my house chores were it not for the awful distraction! See, I was busy in the kitchen cleaning the dishes, my eyes were literally focused on cleaning them sparkling clean when from nowhere I noticed someone standing in front on my kitchen window. Before I could open my mouth to voice out my concerns to him, he looked straight at my hands and at all the plate I was holding and commanded me with a firm yet low tone to call the driver. So I was like, “who are you again?” “ which driver?” “what are you talking about?” I mean, I had all sorts of question to ask that strange man yet my voice couldn’t just come out. I had temporarily lost my ability to speak and I wasn’t aware of it. No sooner had he appeared than he left. I gathered all my courage and hurriedly went outside to see if I confront the stranger only to find him gone and completely disappeared from sight.
Standing at the main door in total shock and disbelief, my phone’s ringing was what snapped my soundness of mind back to reality. I slowly shut the door and proceeded to go answer the phone which was ringing from the bedroom. I was about to give in to the urge of returning outside which was pulling me so strong just to go see if the strange man would by any chance surface except for the beckoning of the phone’s ringing!
Mmm if the strange man’s ordeal was not enough, just when I was about to receive the phone call the ringing suddenly stopped. I picked up my phone to see who the caller was to call them back but sadly enough it was from an UNKNOWN caller ah, and I was unable to call them back. By this time my head had had enough drama. This was not the usual me, creating room for random and hell-bent spiritual attacks, at least not for that day! I mean, how much worse could it get. I was running out of time. I needed to finish my house chores on time and make lunch for my kid lest they return from school during their lunch break and find lunch not ready. I did not want to disappoint them again for the third time this week. I was at the brick of a severe emotional break down and the last thing I needed was a demonic push. I just couldn’t handle it. Enough was enough. The whole idea of my kids eating home-made meals was entirely mine because my husband was totally against it.
As a stay-at-home mother I was so determined to cook for my kids and I could afford the time and energy for it. I had vowed to my husband Matthew that our kids will no longer experience any more food poising at my watch. We had tried transferring them to different schools but this too failed us terribly. The school diets were failing our now preschool twin boys and we were counting losses with unnecessary hospital visits every month.
Now you see why at this present time and era I chose to go the old school way and have my boys come home for lunch.
Back to my bedroom scene, I checked on my bedside California-timepiece and noticed that I needed to stop with all the absent-mindedness and the imaginary building of castles for hire and get quick with what I was cleaning back in the kitchen.

I left the bedroom door half way open for fresh air supply to walk in as well as for my usual room exposure to free ventilation, a decision I regret to this day! I went to the kitchen and immediately got busy with finishing the remainder of the dishes as there was not that much left to clean on the sink. When I finally finished with the dish cleaning, I left them on the rack to dry and without knowing it so happened that I left the water tap running! I turned to check the fridge for what to prepare for my kids and completely forgot about the running tap! There was not that much to do with in the fridge so I proceeded to check my freezer meals again having forgotten to close the fridge doors! I was lucky enough to find some frozen lunch enough for the boys and at least I could afford a fraction of a smile! Though it was not what the boys had ordered for lunch, I was relieved that I was not going to feed them ugali and milk (cornmeal and milk) as was my norm. I was not all that bothered with the thawing process because I am a pro when it comes to short-cut means.
Thinking I had removed the frozen food, it so happened that I got distracted with all the frozen desserts smiling right back at me. How happy I was to my rising to that occasion! What a blessed decision!  I left the frozen food right inside the freezer without knowing and proceeded to satisfy my already salivating-mouth’s desire and let the Neapolitan ice cream slurp me well. With the frozen dessert melting in my mouth, my legs beautifully stretched on the coffee table, I decided to make a quick call just to check on my husband. I was aware that his return flight was delayed due to the bad weather experienced in German and I figured that by my local time he is still stranded in Gurshaizer City. That’s why I decided to check on him as well as cheer him up. I dialed his number and to my surprise my phone indicated that my husband was within town. That was impossible. How could his number read that he is in town and I was expecting him to arrive later in the night. I canceled and dialed again but it was the the same in fact this time he received and he was all happy that I was calling him. I was busy talking on phone that I did not notice him open the door and enter in. My husband had not just returned but this time he decided to return in style. A style of pulling my leg! He was just so off when it came to surprising me and lucky enough that is who I happily said I do to.
I warmly welcomed him home and it was quite obvious that we were both excited to see each other after him being away for his two years business trip! My joy was at a place that could not be reached, and in a degree surpassing the excellence of gladness. I happy, I was delighted, I was bliss and allowed him to carry his bags to room as well as freshen up while I went to ready something quick for his arrival. Remember I mentioned earlier that I left our bedroom door half open for fresh air to walk in, well it did that and more of which I leave room for your imagination!
I was in the middle of juicing the oranges when I felt a sharp pain on my shoulder.  I tried ignoring it but noticed that my right hand was starting to judder and disturb me as well. Everything was moving so fast and before I could yell for my husband to come help me, my whole body was shaking and sweating. My body was in so much pain for unknown reasons and as I desperately opened my mouth to call on my husband’s name, all that my mouth could utter was the name “Jesus.’
The screaming was so awkward that I just had to shake Emma to wake her from whatever dream she was in. I mean here I was unable to sleep the entire flight from Qatari and my seatmate here was not only sleeping but was able to indulge in musing fantasies? Though Emma had a lot of explaining for me, to be honest, I woke her up just to let her know that the plane was about to land. I just didn’t want her to miss it.
I mean I love seeing the inspiration of awe on her all grown face every descending moment.
How much our daughter enjoys her landing moments is still filled with some awing awesomeness to Matthew and I as Emma’s parents!

There are things God is waiting eagerly for us to bring to Him as Our Heavenly Father. We don’t have to wait until those things choke us down to the grave because by then we will have no strength to even call Him.
In John 10 : 14 Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.
In Genesis 16 we read the story of Hagar, an Egyptian maidservant to Sarah…verse 13 reads…( then she -Hagar called the name of the LORD who spoke to her. You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees;  for she said,”Have I also here seen Him who sees me?’Hagar was at the brick of her mental breakdown and she found it best to call on the name of the LORD. PSALM 50:15 “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” Who do you call upon in your day of trouble?
