“Don’t let abuse be your child’s story: Make a change. End child abuse”

-
The Child Development Division within the Ministry of National Mobilisation, etc. will be observing the annual Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month from April 1 – 30, 2024. This is in keeping with St. Vincent and the Grenadines' commitment to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The theme chosen for this year is “ Don’t let abuse be your child’s story: Make a change. End child abuse ” with a focus on child neglect and abandonment. This theme addresses our goals of informing parents of their tremendous power to prevent child abuse; to educate and increase awareness in homes, schools, and communities as we use positive promotional activities geared towards strengthening families and fostering a network between the Ministry, the Police and Communities. As part of the month’s activities, churches are invited to commemorate “ Blue Sundays .” This is an annual event where churches of all faiths are asked to pray for the victims of child abuse and to demonstrate

Broken Dreams

-
Worthless, shameful, bastard, good for nothing
Echoing through my head
Pitiful, Anger, Rage, I hate you
bursting through my soul

Oh how I wish for this to end
Won't I ever feel good again?
But I just can't help the way I feel;
Because of those words they hurl at me
My dreams have become like broken sticks

I look around and all I see are people making fun of me;
Who is she, she'll never make it, her life will never change
Am I just another victim of the system? I asked myself that day.
Who said that? Who told you those things about me?
Did it come from you or did my creator tell you so?
The one who made you and I have better things to say 
As he knows what I was created to do

So don't judge me by the suit I wear, or the materials that I do not have because my life is worth far more than what you can imagine or think, 

It can never be measured or calculated by the instruments of men, 
Only God can determine my life according to his will.
And now that I know about his love 
My life is more meaningful each and everyday. 

Special, wonderfully made, unique, beautiful
Echoing through my head
Hopeful, peaceful, sound mind, I love you
Now bursting through my soul

Let me soar on your eternal wing
And be one with you Oh God;
That I may find rest from the swords that want to pierce my soul
Let me not live in anguish, let me not die in pain;
For I have accepted you as the Saviour and Lord of my everything
And now I am happy I am ready to dream again!

It's Time To Rebuild

It's time to rebuild is the theme from a Women's Ministries Convention held on October, 2022.  Below is an exhortation / encouragement to all women and any individual who come across this post. I pray that the eyes of your heart will be opened to understand these words and follow through with whatever the Spirit of the LORD will say unto you.  Nehemiah 2:17 This theme is extraordinary in that it is given at such a time as this when our lives, family, nation and communities are at crossroads while some are either at a standstill or going on a steady decline. In order for a rebuilding to take place there must have been a destruction, a disaster, catastrophe or any other peril so grave that removed or overturned the good and proper systems of existence. Not much is being said about the roles that we need to play or the responsibilities that we need to take in order to save our world. Some persons have already concluded that our world does not need saving, their solution instead i

Christmas season for a believer of Jesus is more about celebrating H
