Chronicles of a love walk 1

Lagos Sunset (@b4best 2015)
Hello Everyone.
I have been going through a lot lately. As an individual, a budding career person, a friend, woman, sister and really I am learning that it is necessary for me to put to use all the learning, training and experiences that I have inside. I have been learning and growing painful sometimes, but i know that at the end of the day I win and come out on top.
I have had a Myles Munroe's snippet on my phone that I play every morning as I commute to work:

 "Everything that I need to be great and awesome is in me,
 the tools are ready, the future is ready, the execution is up to me."


We hear of a refiner's fire and I for one thought it was probably just a buffer cousin of cooking fire with a few burns and scrapes we will be fine, but I am learning that they are not even neighbours. Even though as I type this, I am grateful for God's mercy because if He decides to blast out everything once, I do not think I would be left.
You know we hear His grace is sufficient and He doesn't give us more than we can handle. That gives us hope and now as the days go by I truly wonder if I really have it in me.


It is always easier to experience things when you know where all the resources are. You will gladly learn how to drive with a brand new SUV when you know that your bank account can handle the strain of bashing some other road users cars (unintentionally of course) but when you are down to your last penny, you will not even want to eat out for fear that you may just end up washing dishes till dawn or sleeping in a cell (depending of the depth of the bill).

At this times, along with all the million things that are to be learnt, you have to learn to trust on the dependability of God. That is one of His many super powers. Yeah we know all the things we have learnt and seen but daily we have to keep reminding ourselves. At least I need to keep reminding me.
Trust in His capacity, capabilities and strength. He is Trust - Worthy, Bankable that should be an anchor for our soul.

18 These two things cannot change: God cannot lie when he says something, and he cannot lie when he makes an oath.
So these two things are a great help to us who have come to God for safety. They encourage us to hold on to the hope that is ours. 19 This hope is like an anchor for us. It is strong and sure and keeps us safe. It goes behind the curtain.
Hebrews 6: 18-19(Easy to Read Version)

As I offload, the thing that come to mind are that God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above ALL I can ask or think according to His power (not my fears, expectations or feelings) at work in ME!

Chin Up, Let's go!

Play list for the road

You split the sea so I can walk right through it

Your thoughts define me, you are inside me
You are my reality.

Don't know how but you did it

You Lift me up, You stretch me wide, I am bigger because of you

My Gratitude Journal

Today I have decided to switch things up a little bit. I want to thank you for testimonies that seem like a lie. All of them are a result of your goodness and benevolence to me and mine. Especially in this season where people are judging the seasons if their lives by what is being said on the NEWS and in the stock market. I judge your faithfulness by the goodness I have enjoyed in and out of season. My cruise of oil has not run out neither has my barn of wheat dried up. You have been faithful and good in every area of my life. This picture depicts the condition of my heart, joy, gratitude and nothing more. God is dependable.

A Long Way From Home (1) - Where is home?

I am learning that God brings you out of your comfort zone and safety net just to have you all to himself. Is it funny?, NOO. Is it Easy?, Not in the least. The longest part is when he is stripping you of you. Try compounding that with becoming a housewife in a new country after being in back to back employment for 10 years. A first time mom with a new child that is also trying to figure out this earth experience with you. There are days you will feel like you are trapped in your home, moving from bedroom to parlor, and back to the bedroom, pacifying a new baby, and looking for a pacifier yourself. Today was one of those days, I had really hoped that I could live a little through the stories of a workday but if wishes were horses.  Then after getting her royal highness to sleep, you have to struggle with a computer screen, at some point, you just drop everything and begin to look inwards. That's right after the filtering noises of a club playing music sounds like an old companion, ...

WAITING

I have been a mom for two months and I think my greatest challenge has been waiting. Waiting during the pregnancy period and wondering what the baby would look like,  what delivery will feel like,  will the things I bought be enough? Then the child comes and everything is meant to align to her timetable. Sleep when she is sleeping they say, do they remember Deborah has a work deliverable waiting on you? Sleep when she is sleeping they advise, that is except you are preparing their lunch, then you can stay awake, finish cooking, serve and clean the kitchen. Then there is the ministry of helps that you are not sure how to receive. They can only help you in their convenience which is kind of confusing because you do not really need the kind of help they are offering and the next thing you hear is "Use all the help you get" After some time, you get to a point where you are in a rhythm you don't know how it started but it doesn't reflect what you do and you are focused on ...
