A SHAKE AROUND

Hey guys was up?
I really dont have a lot to say today other than I am grateful to be alive,

Its been an amazing experience each day, understanding daily that.....

Its all in his time, his hands and his place!!! GOD

School is about to be over! phew! Finally I get this done

A lot of us are just tired of the class and frankly who wldnt?
August is here and dat just means DECEMBER is knocking............
Excited and a lot of nerves too :) but its all worth it................
Ill be updating u on every detail for sure but til then stay tuned................
Doing nothing fun at the moment trying to lay low and keep watch..........

Anyways b4 I go on with a lot of nothing, wish u guys a lovely day..........

Been learning a lot about depending on people and boy am I glad..........
I never thrive on groups I do me and it works out better.................
Anyways it is what it is and I would let Sunday's sermon stick.............

Jer 17: 5-8 Its been my watch word and I know God is reminding me

Me or nothing child.............

Alrighty y'all av a beautiful time doing good

 

PAPA O'JAFOR

Its been a great week its the 22nd of July.....
I can tell you its been great

Its been a while I had a week of positivity in my life!!!!!

So last weekend I was just in this not 2 cool place.......

Sunday could not make it to church and thought 2 myself really??

When would you get out of this cirlce you are roped in.........

This week I determine I am out then I am sunk in again...........

Prayed Sunday night after submitting my assignment, crawled into bed

Woke up monday and decided Ill go for a Program at church......

RCCG Power Explosion at Bowie, a bright start to my day.........

Then the day came along and I became tired, having second thoughts

But the more I looked for a reason not to go, I told myself I would......

Even my mum almost got in my way but I chose to go cuz to me.....

That was the devil trying to make me miss a blessing!

So I heard Pastor Ayo was preaching monday night.........

I was baised about him never heard him preach and was not keen on him

I heard Pastor Ashimolowo was going to be there so was contemplating

Going on Tuesday when Pastor Ashimolowo wld preach but.............

GOD IS A WONDER

My friend came to pick me against all odds tried saying I was running late

Yet he insisted he wld wait at my house, eventually I said Teju gotta go......

I got to church had Minister Ernest lead us to worship GREAT voice

Announcements and then Papa as they called him came in .......

I was like ok lets see how this goes............................

As he took the mic and started speaking, I knew why the devil tried!

I pratically teared down at every second thru the service MY GOD!!!

I was rushing home to go watch Basket Ball Wives & Single Ladies

I would have missed God's visit to me personally that day........

It was a powerfilled night, I tell you I was super blessed............

God reminded me of my role and why he placed me there........

Firstborn children are given a token from God............

A token of BIRTHRIGHT

A token of DOUBLE PORTION

And for this Pastor Ayo said for we first borns............

We need to praise God like a mad man

We need to give to God like a crazy being

Pastor Ayo blessed that night not preached as he said............

I felt so humble and honoured God had me in mind Monday

Its friday today and I am glad how my week went............

I am walking back into his fold as he always opens his doors

Always digging me out of the rubbles and washing me clean

God has been good to me so good I cant but be thankful......

Thats how my week went and I hope the weekend wld be greater

God bless and have a fab weekend.

GOD's AWESOMENESS

Hi everyone,

   I hope you are all doing great at the place/point you are in life right now or making a move to get to that place.
I have been NOT busy but just occupied with all sorta stuff and as usual the devil rears its head.
Its the 2nd half of the year and its amazing how I look back and remember the beginning of this year.................
Filled with so much hope, fire and determination but den slowly descend the stairs ahead........
For about 2 months been trying to make sense of this place I am in,
It feels familiar but then its blurry, I am not happy, not entirely sad, just can't place my hand on the feeling hmmm!
The devil knows where to get us best, he knows my sinking bait (FINANCES)
Once it starts that way every other things seems to go wrong.................
So ere I was in a circle of confusion and pushing thru this wind of self pity.....
I made a note I am going back to praying more, I need to fast but guess what??
This has been what I want to do!!! for sum reason not achieved it ............
Thinking if i have this, that would fall into place but nothing falls into place.....
2 days ago I was with my Ghanian girlfriend and she told me...................
Where u are I av been and thats why I understand better hmmm!
She encouraged me and I tried to remain positive but another bump!!!
In all of this I am grateful for  my family And at that point when I look at where I am coming from and.......
Look at where I am now, I feel so guilty I have not appreciated God enough......
I always want things to be perfect, on time and this is the area my test comes.....
God never lets it happen when I want it, I am learning to trust him totally
I am too focused on this one thing I want that I dont have .................
This makes me oblivious of the many little things he is changing arnd me
Setting me up for a bigger future but in my NOW I forget my NEXT
So in an attitude of thanksgiving I want to thank the almighty for:
LIFE, HEALTH, FAVOUR, MERCY, LOVE, HOPE, and......
<God bless u all and thank u for reading.....

W*O* R* D* S

Words are so powerful, we have no idea how much it builds or destroys.....

Words r never forgotten, they ring an alarm in our minds, hearts
Words are worn like a badge of honor or a garment of shame.........
When we speak lets make sure we r encouraging, blessing and lifting others up
Dont get me wrong, u might be very unabashed with ur words................
Quick to say it like it is but..........................
Is it worth it if ur words damage another's soul?
Is it worth it when ur words build walls between people that dont even knw each other
Is it worth it when ur words defame a character that calls u friend?
Is it worth is when ur words defame a character u never had an encounter with?
Is it worth it to use entrusted secrets as insults to another?
Watch ur words more importantly watch urself, dont get lost in ur words
A potent tongue is worse than a sharp knife, confidence is not arrogance
A smile or warm gesture is not life threatening, encouraging effort goes a long way.....
Dont be quick to judge the front without looking at the back...........
U hardly knw anyone's story or pain, dont be too quick to roll ur eyes.......
Sum pple get it the first time, sum get it the 2nd while sum get it much later
It does not make them less worthy of support or praise..................
Its not who starts but its who can GO THRU not even who lasts anymore.....
Dont judge anyone by ur life, ur struggle or ur success judge dem on theirs
If u can walk their walk, take their hits and pray their prayer till they succeded
Only then can u let ur tongue speak at will but till then WATCH UR WORDS......
Its tru pple may not remember what u said and only remember how u made dem feel
But there are a few U see that remember ur words and never forget that feeling they had
Unfortunately pple who speak vile never remember how much they said..........
Life does not end now, the one U cast off might be the one U need to come to............
God bless u as u start to bless others....
N.B - Mothers speak positivity into ur kids, schools/peers are real brutal these days kids need their family to speak love into their lives
N.B - Wives let our words be like a soothng balm unto our men,
Silence is not weakness but a weapon if used right
N.B - Husbands we love to hear u, we love to be encouraged
thru ur words, its the fire that keeps us going........
Try it for a week, bless pple and encourage them thru ur words
Ull see how amazing ur week goes,
WORDS ARE SEEDS WE SOW INTO LIVES WHEN WE SPEAK IT.

MY TIME

Happy New month, life has just been happening and I av not been able to keep up with y'all but I am here today :).
Hope the year 2011 has been good so far? Incase you have had a rough first few months, start the remaining part of the year and make a decision to live for urself.
I am here today remembering where I was last year..........................
Hope lost, self worth gone, and just lost in my person trying to be another.......
I hid my worry for a bit but God saw it all, sometimes i questioned him......
Why me? whats that SIN causing me all this, I heard my echoes back at me.......
I tried to numb all these pain, anger and hurt wondering how I landed deep in...
School was in session , like I said Life would happen, the clock did not stop ticking
My heart did not stop beating but my existence was like a bubble and a burst.....
2010 was that year where my valley caved me in and loved me locked in......
I tried so hard to burst out, dug holes but they closed back up...........
Tired out my strength, till I lay lifeless and my tears was all that LIVED
God stretched his hand and shook me back to life rigorously.............
I faced myself, looked at my muddy feet, dusty hands and unpretty self..........
All my struggle to get out, God created a path for me to walk.............
Into the sunshine and my journey to brighter days begun..............
former
God took me thru all I did cuz only me could survive it.........
I may not have been amongst the first to live 'THIS LIFE'..........
I certainly would be amongst those that would live it forever.............
When u undertsand my pain then u can make sense of my praise............
Until then, let me bask in my time and be grateful to GOD.............

Happy New month , its amazing to be alive and it would be great if we make use of this precious gift given to us, LIFE.
I am ere, God has been faithful as always in my family, its been some rocky ride but like my dad told me today, "u go thru all u do to help shape ur tomorrow" indeed he is right.
Everytime I go thru anything I feel God has a young girl going to seek my expertise on stuff or even friends and hopefully how I make it thru now would help later.
So what else is going on with me.hmmm! ......................

THE BIG ONE - HAPPY BDAY TEJ

My bday was on April 5th and it was just an awesome day I tell ya,
Family, friends, pple all well wishers all over BBM, Twitter, facebook.....
I was floored, I was humbled I was blessed, it was too much too handle.....
The day before I got so emotional just thankful for another year
Looked thru last year and the past 29 yrs and just grateful.......
Yup I turned 30, the age I feel awesome, beautiful, loving me as a woman
It just felt all too good and God has blessed me with Family, Friends & Love
I am at this point where I can say Life wld hit me but I wld hit back better.......
I have seen enough thru 29 yrs to knw God or nothing and I choose God......
My bday morning started with me just praying, I was talking to my sis from abt 11pm
12 am the calls started, gosh I teared up it was just Love I could not but bask in.....
BBM was all too humbling, its kinda of a ritual we all celebrate one another but for me
Seeing my pictures on pples's profile and the joy they had doing it!!! GRATITUDE
If there was any other day I doubted how much I meant to anyone......
APRIL 5th 2011 I felt God celebrate me, my family, friends and loved ones
I told no one at work so was not off, got some cake and drinks for them at the office
All surprised but I just felt to celebrate me with everyone I came across........
My girl Itunu came from Atlanta to spend the week with me, God bless her.......
One of the few guest I loooove having over, My sister & her husband got me Edible arrangements,
I had dreamt of it for so long and wen the delivery man came in.......
I ll put up pictures of all I got not a truck load but from those that matter in my world
Their thots and just their constant love and being hard on me wen they needed to
My lovely sis from another mum Jade & Bff (Sagz) sent me a lovely card & wallet
All d way from Dublin it touched me and the funny thing is I NEED A WALLET
My sis has been on my neck abt that, she got herself this lovely coach wallet,
The trendy ones out now and I seemed to just not get the kind I wanted but......
Dupsy(Jade) another fashionista like my sis Toke are just so with it...Thanks!
Itunu got me a lovely Silver WristWatch and had the kitchen in a storm that evening
It was a wonderful day and I feel very blessed.
I am grateful to God for his many mercies and his wonderful blessings!!!
