Spring Time Island Version 2020

Good Evening All! πŸ™‚ How’s everyone doing thus far?

Every year when the Poui trees bear their radiant flowers on the isles I usually take images of it to share on the blog and categorized it under “Spring Time” since we here on the islands only experience two seasons which is rainy season and dry season.

Usually rainy season starts like within the late parts of April but unfortunately that has changed drastically. Right now we are still in the dry season. The climate has changed a lot and the sun is more hot than before. Mostly everything has dried up. Including the Poui trees in our yard sadly. They didn’t birth much flowers at all and it was pretty sadden for me.

It shows that our time on earth is quickly coming to an end. The earth is ready for redemption. She’s dying. Dying for new life. For restoration as we are along with her. My spirit felt grieved when I saw nothing but dry leaves on the ground below the tree but I still found joy in the midst of it all. I was happy to be alive to still capture His creations. It was a little different this year for me where this is concerned but I still admire the lessons learnt from nature’s various stages of change and growth. Be blessed & uplifted! God bless ❀

Happy 58th Independence Day La Trinity!

I love this blessed twin island state my Father have placed me here for a temporal stay to do His eternal work! It’s beautiful, rich in diversity, multiculturalism, history, good food, excitment and so much more. It’s one of the only countries in the entire world that is named after God’s Triune Deity. *La Trinity/Trinidad: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.*

No matter the grimance and darkness hours this nation faces we always survive and is fortunate to overcome and move forward stronger than ever only by the grace of Jesus. I’ve seen God saved this country over and over and over from massive earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, plagues and so much more that I saw wiped out neighboring isles not too far from us and even countries abroad to literally nothing and we only got just a tip of the iceberg from those disasters and I know it was only because of God’s hands of grace and mercy over this isle!

And because of that I think we took Him for granted and still haven’t turned from our wicked ways as a people and as a nation called by God. So through this virus we are currently fighting against I believe we will truly turn to Him this time. In the midst of it we are still able to see the light at the end of the tunnel for the grand restoration, rebuilding and spiritual revival of my homeland. I love it and I won’t trade living anywhere else in the world for it! I’m blessed to be both a citizen of heaven and a citizen of Trinidad & Tobago.

FelΓ¬z CumpleΓ£nos Trinitario y Tobago! Dios bendiga ese paΓ¬s siempres! ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ *Happy birthday Trinidad and Tobago! God bless this country always! πŸ˜€

Maracas/Mount St. Benedict Trip!

Hallo, Wie gehts? *Hello, How are you?* German πŸ™‚ This trip was a blessing and a lessonΒ  as well alongside my bestie, her sister Denise, a family friend Awong and myself! We had originally planned to go Toco but God changed our plans and led us to go Maracas instead.

Toco Beach. *photo belongs to http://www.tripadvisor.com* via google search.
To be honest I was disappointed because of the change and during the week God was speaking to us and showing us where He wanted us to go instead but we weren’t seeing it until the day came and we learnt why He wanted us to go Maracas! I learnt that to go where God wants you to go and NOT where you want to go. Due to us repenting for our stubbornness and obedience to His guide, He blessed us with another trip surprisingly! Thank you Lord! You are great!

Maracas is known as one of the most picturesque bays on the islands due to several tourists that visited de island commentary, that’s located on the North Coast Peninsula of Trinidad. It’s one of the most popular beaches here and although before I had disagreed on it not being the most beautiful bay, I take that back!

Seeing it in real away from pictures on the internet is B R E A T H E T A K I N G ❀ My goodness! I never knew Trinidad was so scenic! What a blessed country God placed me to live in! It’s truly a gem friends. It. Truly. Is.
The road to the bay run through tall, hemispheric, mountains that overlooks the village of Maracas and also other bays that are private and separated from each other by mountains & valleys. Before you reach the beach location, there is a magnificent lookout that Dee and myself took pictures of on our way home…or so we thought! πŸ˜‰
The first roll of pics were taken by Dee! Enjoy! πŸ˜€Β

The bay was very hospitable to us by offering us fresh fruits with a pinch of salt & sand! πŸ˜‰Β

This bridge on the beach takes you over the river that intersects/runs into the sea to a mini play park for the kiddies and vendors alongside the other end of the bay that sells sweet tasty, local delicacies and other treats! πŸ™‚ It was worth crossing lol!Β

Each mountain is shaped as a different animal that separate the bays from the lookout. The first one, a turtle, second a dolphin and the third a crocodile! Do you see them? We did!

I would NEVER forget how strong the Lord’s presence, love & peace was felt here when I stared otherworldly at His majestic creations! I saw His greatness before my eyes and had to burst out in praises to the King ❀ God. Is. REAL!!!!

After capturing images, wailing constantly in ohs and ahs, discussing after lunch about the Lord and His Word, walking the large bay from beginning to end and from the end back to the beginning, trying to assist a guy with his phone camera, interrupting a wedding *somewhat* lol, pondering whether to bathe or not and well it was a lot of pondering we did and our feet decided to happily enjoyed the sea bathe instead for the body, so yeah πŸ˜₯ lol we were sad about our departure buttttt little did we know that we were heading into another adventure, when we lately noticed that our route to home did not. Look. Familiar….!

When we questioned Awong and he told us Mount St. Benedict, we couldn’t be more excited for we always wanted to visit there! God is so good!

Mount St. Benedict is located in the Northwestern vicinity ofΒ  St. Augustine, Tunapuna on top of a very high, wining hill that overlooks the East/Southern side of Trinidad. It’s rich in history and also in beauty if you’d asked me πŸ˜‰ it holds a church, school and other facilities. To know more about Mount St. Benedict you can click on this link:- http://www.mountstbenedictabbey.org

The drive was soothing and the views were stunning on our way there. We didn’t get much time to venture around/ take photo’s because service was going on and they were just about to close, but the 10-15 minutes was worth the panoramic view, tranquility & mediating on God’s Word that I saw operating in life before me…Β

Overall it was a blessed & enjoyable trip! We ended it with thanks to Almighty && purchasing de best tasting street food on de Avenue at night doubles! It was so good as per usual!

Portugal from the tree located to the front of our large yard πŸ™‚ I was stunned when I saw so much babies in birth at the same time! She hasn’t bared this much in a while and that I take for a sign of something great! πŸ˜‰

The island at night!

Bonne nuit all! How’s everyone? πŸ™‚ just here to share some photos I captured some months ago of my home island from the vicinity of our back & front yard in the night. Be blessed.

*You’ll notice some images that are extremely dark with white rays of light that resembles a glow stick. I got that effect by shaking the photo from left to right very rapidly of the lights in our village/the moon and darken the background with a really cool filter featured on the iPhone in the editing section. πŸ™‚ I was really stunned by the results of that.*Β
