God Keeps His Promises
One of the major challenges that we experience in relationships is disappointments and broken promises. It hurts when a loved one makes a promise that they have no intention or ability to keep. It raises people’s expectations and lands them in despair when promises are broken and people fail to keep their word.
Children expect parents to be nurturing, loving and caring and to put their needs before their own. Husbands and wives expect their spouses to keep their vow to love, honour and cherish them until death and to remain faithful. A broken promise produces a breach of trust which then has to be repaired overtime. Frequent disappointments and broken promises from the same relationship affects emotional well-being. This especially when the relationship is with a significant other such as a parent or spouse.
Sometimes people may choose to distance themselves from the constant offender in order to gain healing and wholeness. Sometimes our experience with loved ones can translate into our relationship with God and affect the level of trust that we place in Him. Our comfort is that God is not a man that he should lie or is he human to change his mind. (Numbers 23:19)
Isaiah states that even some nursing women can forget their children, yet God will never forget you. (Isaiah 49:15) God’s Word to us is an everlasting covenant and he never fails. If God says it then you can trust that he will do it and he will keep his promise to you. Although the vision seems delayed, it will come to pass if you wait for it. (Habakkuk 2:3)

I am a trained Social Worker who currently provides professional leadership on a programme to support Social Work students and Newly Qualified Social Workers entering the Social Work Profession.
Born and raised in Jamaica in a Christian family where my father is an ordained Pastor and Deacon who has served for over 50 years in the ministry. My father is also a trained musician and our family can be described as a musical family. I grew up in a small farming community in St. Peter’s, St. Andrew and my parents also have a small farm.
I credit my gift of writing to my father who I watched and listened to over the years as he wrote sermons, poems and other recitals in his capacity in ministry. English has always been an easy subject for me and over the years I have developed an increased interest in writing.
I am a Trainer, I sing and have a passion for worship, the spoken word and the free flow of the prophetic anointing. I am married to my best friend Andrew Christopher Young who is an advanced Musician and whose music you can find on YouTube and Facebook. I am a trained Coach and Mentor and I love experimenting with food so I love cooking. I enjoy trying cultural dishes from across the world and I view food as an entry into cultures and languages.
