The Beautiful Pastor Bims! |
I remember the day I heard about her passing, it was a Sunday morning ten years ago and shock is an understatement to describe what I felt. I found it very difficult to believe that this amazing woman was gone.. taken away from us, just like that!. However, like the song says "He gives and takes away, blessed be His name!"
I am grateful for the blessing of Pastor Bims (as she was lovingly called), I am grateful that she lived such an impactful life to the glory of God, I am grateful to have been blessed by her ministrations and tutelage, I am grateful for so many things about her and many lessons I learnt from her life and teachings, a few I will mention below...
Excellent Teacher! |
2. She was a passionate woman! She was passionate about everything she did - She loved her God with a passion, she loved her husband with a passion, she loved her children with a passion, she loved her church with a passion, she loved people with a passion, she loved and did things with such admirable passion!
3. She made it clear that her husband and family were priority in her life. I watched and learnt how to honour and respect your man in such a beautiful way, irrespective of how much accolade you get used to!
4. Pastor Bim was a woman full of life! You wanted to be with her.. She was so lively, so engaging! She made people around her feel good! You could listen to her talk for ages :-)
5. She preached Jesus without holding back! She was a woman who knew how to preach the word of God. She believed very much in confessing the word of God, holding on and believing in God's word.
6. She was a 'hot' Christian woman - not just spiritually but physically! She not only paid attention to what was going on inside but outside too! Being spiritual is no excuse to look dowdy :-)
Fashionista! |
I could go on and on about this phenomenal woman who God gave the grace to walk the face of this earth for 45 full years!
I pray that God will make us vessels of honour that will be fit for use to His glory so that when it's time for us to exit this side of eternity, our impact and legacy would outlive us. More importantly, when we meet face to face with our Creator on that side of eternity, that we will hear the treasured words of welcome and well done!
So first off Bubba.. I love how you put it as;
ReplyDelete"when it's time for us to exit THIS SIDE of eternity" and "THAT SIDE of eternity"

I think you are well on your way to being the best of you and leaving a legacy this side of eternity :-)
DeleteMay your life and reward on the other side of eternity be mighty indeed in Jesus name xx
Looking at how her books, videos, words, love for God has outlived even her external body...
ReplyDeleteWhat are we living for if not to pour into lives and impact men and women for Christ wherever He has placed us?
Continue to bask in God till we all meet at the end ma'am.
We love you
Amen! I look forward to seeing her to... And also understanding some things :-)
