Life and Me... Memoirs of a church girl

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 ...

  That was the sound of my parent's toast at their wedding many years ago.  When I discovered it was either we've found it or we've got it, I decided that at my wedding we would be sure enough to say we've found it (so they don't arrest us for copying them).  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field;  the which when a man hath found, he hideth,  and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Even though people know this as a bible story, I see a leave and cleave in this too.  I am mighty excited about  Nicole C. Mullen and  Donnie  McClurkin 's  upcoming  nuptials  . I watched the beginning of this video   and my heart was glad, the whole video is very cool. When next you want to advise me to reel in a man, Please remember that a man has to be willing to go out of his way to want to love me and pray for me and wash me and cover me with the wor...

Hey guys, *dusting cobwebs*  Yeah it has been a long break. I missed writing. So for sometime i have been feeling dull and honestly not the 'everybody hates me, nobody likes me kind'. But the 'we are on the grind, we are fast and furious' but at the close of work, the to do list still has many unchecked to dos and you go 'well i can't deal'. This is then followed by the 'one day at a time' thing to 'just live in the moment' and wham! a month has gone and you have not really moved. The worst hit was my fellowship. Yeah i'm in church, yeah i work but in the edge of my wrapper (if you have an African granny that ties wrapper you will know that's where all the good stuff is) i had nothing new just recycled stuff. So i saw this  Joyce Meyer  3030 challenge , i signed up and hoped for the best. I knew there was a but when i did not sign up for the daily reminder but the weekly one ( unread inbox message troubles don't ask)...

Phillipians 4:6-8 (MSG) Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. I have said and heard this words many times. But i just saw it for the first time that 1. When you worry, you are easing substituting prayer in your mind. 2. Worries and Prayers can be shaped. 3. God knows everything but you can still ALLOW HIM KNOW your concerns. 4. Putting christ or worry at the center of your life is up to you.  Recently i have had to question peace. What is the best way to explain peace?  Is it a sense of feeling empty, bland or void of emotion?  Now i realise that the feeling like your life is all over the place, splattered like a juicy tomato against the wall and it seems like someo...
