Theme song : The sound by Mary Mary ( playing)

This is not a real post.. I just had to share

I passed the first section of my CPA exam amidst all the drama and sadness and craziness that went on during the time I took the exam. All I can say is I have a wonderful, loving Father who always looks out for me.

I have been bouncing around my apartment to really loud music cos I am sooo joyful.( my poor neighbors)

P.S Happy Birthday to the awesome simeone!!

May God continue to grow you into the remarkable man of God that you are destined to be.

The LORD is my strength and my song;

he has become my salvation.

He is my God, and I will praise him,

my father's God, and I will exalt him.

Exodus 15:2

Reunions, Missing Persons and other tales

This weekend was awesome. My bestie came to town! Hadn’t seen her since last may so it was awesome to be reunited and I even got to meet her boy. They are sooo cute, I can’t wait to plan the wedding, I already have my MOH speech prepared.

I was so glad that she was coming to town that I even overcame my issues with redeemed church and followed her to their convention. It was not bad even entertaining to some extent. Especially the singles summit, oh the stories I have. I think my favorite part was when the one pastor kept saying God wants us to all get married as ‘vaagins’ . LWKM!!

I think I need to file a missing person’s report.. A certain naija lady that lives in the DC area seems to be missing. If anybody knows where she is please tell her to call me. I am having withdrawal symptoms.

The next section of my CPA exam is in approximately 5 weeks and I have only studied one of the 20 required chapters. LORD help me.

I really need to remember that insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting different results.

I miss mgbeke.. please come back now. I am begging.

I came across the VOTD during my reading for ATW ( go here for more deets). I am really enjoying the reading. The book of Genesis feels like a season of passions or the young and the restless, from mistaken Identities to deception to murder.. oh the drama and intrigue!

Please, Take a few moments to mull over the VOTD, hopefully you have the same aha moment I did.

Is anything too hard for the Lord?

Genesis 18:14a

Something is about to happen!!!

So I mentioned in my last post that I wanted to read the entire bible this summer. Well the awesome Simeone and I are going to partner up and do it.

We are inviting everyone we know to join us and make it a movement. How amazing would it be if a whole bunch of us bloggers (and non bloggers) embarked on this journey together? Oh the lives that would be changed!!

I am supper excited and cannot wait to begin because I know this going to be goooood.

You will seek me and find me

when you seek me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:13

In my head and on my mind.

1) I am supposed to be “working” from home and i confess i have done maybe 30 minutes of work in 6 hrs.

2) I confess the summer is not a good time to be studying for a major examination, too many shows on TV. How am i supposed to study after work?

3) I think i have finally found my church home.. it only took 13 months ha!
4) I need a good chin chin recipe... any takers?

5) I just discovered I may have put myself in a "Christian bubble", i subconsciously choose to interact with only Christian people.

6) I want to read through the enitre bible this summer but I need a reading buddy, anyone want to join me?

7) How do you convince a non believer on the sovereignty of God?

8) I am thinking of getting baptized again but i am nervous about doing it in front of the whole church :(

9) I came across the VOTD yesterday and It made me want to smile, laugh out loud and cry at the same time!!

VOTD

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses,

so that Christ's power may rest on me.

That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses,

in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.

For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Cor 12 :9-10

I am BAAACK!!

Hello Blogworld!!
Long time. This past month has been craaaazy! there was a CPA exam, school finals, breakup, weird work schedule, naturalization all in one month!
I am not too much a fan of typical Christian rhetoric but i can't help but say GOD is indeed good.

I just recently learnt a few new life lessons and i thought I’d share;

1) NOTHING can take the place of really good friends... and they don’t have to live close by :)
2) We all possess inner strength and resilience that we just need to tap into.
3) Life is ridiculous and it is never done throwing curveballs, you just have to learn to go with the flow.
4) no matter how bad a situation is, it could be worse, oh trust me, it could be worse.
5) it takes a special kind of grace and strength to be able to do the right thing.

so the point of this is to encourage anyone out there that's feeling battered by life. God is real and he DOES come through if you call on Him.

P.S shout out to my newest friend. Congrats on being the first person, I met through blogger. This is the start of something good, don’t you agree?

Call upon me in the day of trouble

I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

Psalm 50:15

Question

What do you do when you have been at the library all day and you need a break?
Answer : a facebook quiz of course

What type of woman are you?

LOVELY LADY

You are lovely and caring. You help others and spread out a lot of sympathy. Your life aim might be to serve the people. But your weakness is that you forget about yourself, your own needs. All your time is hold back for your friends and family. You are always there for people in trouble. Ready for any emergency. You make a lot of sacrifices just to be a good human. But every woman has her needs, her longings and a destiny. Don't loose yourself in work or curing other people's souls. You will have your own problems in your life. Another problem is that you don't say your opinion when it's right and important to say it. People trample onto your soul if you are always so kind and lovely and helpful. They will play on you. Though you should try to relax more and enjoy your life, you should not loose the gift that was given to you to help others . Not everyone is created this way... You are unique and rare! (yaay me??)
