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

faith with me at God's extraordinary plans in all of this. *wink*

ReplyDelete@E'- Hahaha..Thank you dear.that banging invoked some nostalgia(anchorage).you just might make a good debt collector with that banging...hehehehe.break the door if you like.no entry for you today.
And oh,I plead the fifth@your unfounded accusations.
Don't we all just worry abt d future?infact I used 2feel most times dat av made no real progress..
ReplyDeleteThe truth is U will achieve all God has planned for ur life dear,in God's time which is d perfect time.
Fret no more,don't fret at all.it will all come to light... Joseph must av wondered wen his light will shine too,wen year after year met him in prison.but He held on,believing in his dream dat His God showed him.
Hold on and believe too dear,a glorious future awaits u.
And just like wat u said faith is,look for scriptures concerning ur future and speak and hold on to God's words.it is well indeed!
Thanks darling! ....apologies for the late response.
