Hanging in there....


Hey Champs!..*huge grin*.new yeah?remember I told you I was on the lookout for new intro/greeting lines?...You pipu didn't suggest any,so I stole this off a blog I checked out yesterday.
Cool uh?...It think it means that y'all are and really should be Champions...You better pretend to like it or suggest cooler lines..*tongue out*
     So, its approximately 12days that I haven't put up a post...I think its a foregone conclusion that blog challenges of varying time schedules are best for ensuring I write&post regularly...otherwise I would keep scribbling things in my head and all over the place and generally battling laziness.
    
   Its pretty interesting to watch me all fired up and immersed in a project that requires a commitment.
I realize its one sure way to keep the passion burning,I just can't stand failing to deliver.
Do excuse my fuss about integrity&responsibility,but I like my word to count for more than two cents...I mean,

"If I say "this", I must do "this". it must not be heard that I did "those" ,everything within and without me rises up to the challenge, I can go on&on yakking about it till everyone in my immediate environment becomes a part of it...lol..my neighbours can testify to this(last month's challenge)." 

Perhaps,God will send folks into my life that will put fire under my butt to stay committed to blogging..lol
I know you missed me and i'm covering my face for disappearing after the journal challenge like I deserved some vacay....Apologies...
Yesterday,I was chatting via bbm with a friend and I used our #gratitude dialect in the convo. I was surprised when she referred to my  hiatus and inquired at the lack of posts or links. It shows folks are even much more committed to this resplendent journey than I am... 
Its u̶n̶n̶e̶r̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ encouraging



Although,i have REALLY been thinking of blogging,(almost every waking thought). I just haven't pushed myself to doing it.
I know,I know...Excuses...excuses..

I'm #grateful for your commitment to this blog...Ehen, speaking of #gratitude,how has the journal journey been?Awesome yeah?
Uh,did I mention how #thankful I am for shoes that have half a worshipper's heart as their owner?I'll explain...
Picture this resplendent young lady walking into church on a beautiful Sunday morning.


She's asking a question as she rounds the corner in a hurry to get in for the praise/worship session that has already begun,doesn't see the steps and slips...
#Thankfully,she is righted up in time enough to save face..hehehehe But alas!...the impatient shoe has opened up in worship already to God.


Thank God for extra sandals o!...lol
Guess what?service rocked that day mehn!...It was Spectacular!..and I am grateful for the time out with my Pastor afterwards...totally amazing!..food,gist,Word,music,videos..etc...

This is me encouraging you to stay committed to cultivating that lifestyle. As you well know,It rocks!

#InOtherNews, i've basically been hanging in there,it feels like my life is at a standstill,what with the ongoing Asuu strike....


I think its only fair that i'm honest in sharing my resplendent reality as is my blog's focal theme,warts and all ,especially because someone needs to know that down times aren't as a result of your sin,nope...they happen and you don't hafta remain there. You can come up hither you know?...God is interested in those times too and wants you to engage Him
.

Truth is,i've been struggling hard,against a backdrop knowledge of God's unfailing faithfulness and love-commitment to me. I just stay in (most of the time),wallowing in self-deprecation...


I struggle with the fact that   there's so much to do,experiences to acquire,a big world to conquer, so fleeting a time...and no commensurate measurable progress at my end.

I faced disheartening pressure from certain quarters and my efforts at acquiring a job proved futile.

I've struggled with all that and found myself (not unusually though),asking questions of doubt like


I've also encouraged myself by emphasizing truths like






Today,a friend's funny pm served as my muse for this post.I disagreed jocularly and a convo ensued.
Apparently God in His amazing sense of humor was gonna use that to remind me of my reality and reassure me of His love.

Here's what He said,
"Are u tired of being single? Why not try faith? Buy the wedding gown and see if God won't bring the groom! If it doesn't work, RENT THE HALL and invite me."

The ensuing convo; a snapshot of my reply
Its amazing how I thought to answer my friend in that line...mind you,those were words from the remarkable revelation a pastor once shared,that I hadn't even dwelt on in a while.

"Faith really is a perspective...
God's perspective based on His word.
Its an understanding of God's view of things,persons or situations  and acting on that understanding as prompted.
Its beyond a ticket to obtaining material needs or something. Its a lifestyle"

I'm also learning to engage the spirit of God, to begin to see the unseen things that last forever.I had a great time in prayer meeting this evening and I'm  thankful for the revitalising word of God 'cos this hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times,the lavish celebration prepared for us. 2Cor 4:17 (msg version)

Okies y'all, I just dropped by to check on you guys,extend a warm reassuring hug to those who need it and h̶a̶r̶a̶s̶s̶ ̶ you to #stay in faith with me at God's extraordinary plans in all of this. *wink*



Thank you for stopping by. I mega'preciate you.
