It's my birthday

I can't believe how quickly it came. I'm I really excited? Yes, certainly. It was just yesterday, when I had a rucksack and throttled the streets of Africa as a little girl going to school. That little girl, now a woman soon to be married and have her lovely family. I am most grateful to God for everything.I am not in the mood to write today nd I won't be celebrating much. Your prayers will be greatly appreciated.

As bright as the Sun

As I tapped in the title of this post, I thought of a poem... I sure will write something on that title so expect another As Bright As the Sun.
Today was so warm and bright, as I stepped out of my block I wished I stepped out earlier. Had so much to do and going to the market? Well, I wasn't down for it but I had no choice. Opened my fridge this morning to get something to eat and realised it was practically empty. I prayed to God to direct my day because I really had to do all my laundry, cooking and studying. Guess what? I'm almost done with all I had to do. God truly put some sunshine in my heart today n he made me quickly finish my task, I even had spare time to prepare Cherry Sorbet which I might take to church tomorrow. It's taking too long to freeze. Anyway, I feel so sleepy now.. I guess all I wanted to say is, never stop asking God because just when you don't expect it, Bang! It will happen. Watch out on emeraldogz.com, new stuff coming soon too. Do not forget to prepare your heart for tomorrow's worship, God is going to bless in an unusual way.. Listen to every word, that might just be what you need to carry on.

Morning Rhythms

You may have read this on my website but this poem was one straight from the heart writing during one of my best times of the day. I love mornings, they are new and fresh.. it kind of tells the perfect day. I wrote this yesterday 24th of May (One of my best friends birthday) I'm tempted to say previous but best friends are forever. Yes, previous because we parted ways about 10 years ago.. we are still friends but miles apart. We spent the later part of our childhood days together and our early teens before she left for the States but that was way back in Africa.. Today we are all connected with ermmm American and British Spellings.. Lol, time differences... Rebtel calls once in a while and google chat. I love her like my sister but losing touch has kind of messed things up a bit. There's always one thing you never forget; the good times. She was so kind and sweet. We were pretty close back then and we did keep in touch for a while when she left for the States, after sometime communication got really bad but we tried. Now, I really don't know, all I do know is that I still really love my friend and wish we could still be close.
Okay, in all that mood I realise I've got exam.. I got scared, studied pretty hard and went to bed only to wake up an hour and a half before the exam starts.. Rushed out quickly, got on the train, thank God the location was easy to find because I just trailed behind students I guessed were going to same venue. Got out of the exam hall  two and the half hours later.. and this poem is remembered. I love the LORD because he makes me SMILE all the TIME. I PRAY he does same for my FRIEND whose birthday was same day, she turned 25. I PRAY a loving and God-fearing man will get married to her really soon (please God when I have money to fly to the US though) and give her PRETTY kids like herself and surround her with all blessings she has asked. Also, God please bless the person reading this now and smiling at the thought of my friend... :)

A wake up to the rattling of tea cups on the saucer, the sauce pan moving around the burner, the birds chirping, squirrels chittering, crickets stridulating and all the rhythms of nature. It is unlike the rhythm in my heart, the rhythm of uncertainty for the day. There is one who perfects in a tandem of rhythm no matter how it sounds to make it a beautiful symphony. And I know the rhythm of my heart will blend in that harmony when the creator of the rhythm of nature perfects and gives a better rhythm in my heart. The rhythm of joy.
Wishing you all a fulfilled day. God bless you.x

Thoughts

Now this is a backtrack of Saturday's event.
I attended women for Africa award as a Press for my Fashion Magazine and at this event were so many African women, very beautiful with so many gorgeous designs.
One of the attendees who is also the President of this organisation (Women 4 Africa), a Nigerian Celebrity: Stella Damasus. She enlightened everyone about the abuse of women in Africa with case studies. This got me thinking, African women are abused on a daily basis. Some were abused when they were little, others as teenagers and some while married. It has become a big issue around the world, most especially in Africa were there is no one to fight for them. We must all try our best in every way possible to help these women. I have started playing my part, and I implore you to start too.. no matter how little, one day we will be heard and domestic violence will cease.

Wisdom


This is something I've always admired, desperately wanted and prayed for. Following a sermon at church about a month or two ago, I prayed fervently for it.
I woke up this morning excited about life, because I got to learn that each day God gives us life is a gift and when he chooses to take it, we should thank God for it, because life itself is a struggle.
As I prepare to round up studying and everything relating to Academics at the moment, I get scared but something triggered: God's wisdom. It doesn't come cheap and when it comes, it includes all in one.
I thought of something to write on my blog today, not this... The blog that includes my articles (Emerald's Notebook). I noticed when I just write off my head, it doesn't come out as good as when I am led my HIS mighty hand. I finally found one of my previously written articles and I added just a little to it. I thank God for using me in people's life even as he speaks to me through the poems, novels and plays.
For every little gift, NEVER fail to PRAISE GOD.
