Wedding dress crush
Yes!!! Modest and Yes!! Sleeves
I don't care Tuesday
You don't have to wait till Friday to dress down! Here's my idea for today
A day at the office
For that day at the office when you have to submit that strategy to your boss and attend that meeting and do some client visits.
A Step back here, a step out of England
I know, I know! Its been forever I was last here, its been ages you read from me. Dear reader, you may not know but I stepped out of England for a while!!! (Please don't ask about my PhD, I'll tell you about that soon) for now, I am in this very cold, weird place in Canada. They speak French (the story of my life).
Okay, so I was once an intermediate French speaker till I stopped speaking for years, became pretty basic, tried to learn this language in London but never really had the time and now I'm here, I don't want to learn it. This people are rude!! And mean too (if you meet the wrong ones). So far, it hasn't been all that bad.
So I'm on this Information security course. It is really cool, interesting and you need more to succeed. I am so praying hard to get this done ASAP.
So far this is my life and regarding God, hmmmm... He has been AWESOME!!!
I have some wonderful people in my life who have been helping me in my walk with God and every day I want more, I feel I am a lazy Christian but every time I talk to God about it, he tells me everyone has their method of approaching him. I feel a lot better but I can't stay like this, I want more from Him, I want to know him more, that is my greatest desire this year.
Before I go, I'd like to say Happy New Year. 2016 will be an Amazingly blessed year for you and yours. Lots of love from me. I'll see about blogging more, but I can't promise anything, the days are so busy.

Kitchen!!!
Long time there. Thank God for gradual healing. Returned from hospital and I'm good! Amen. Well, from my Facebook page came these fantastic designs of kitchens, I couldn't help but share.
Look at that effect! It's emosh... I'm so dying here
Talk about natural view.. It's my anthem. Give me this and I'll cook every meal without stepping a foot out the kitchen door.. Lol. 👌
Claiming the Blood
A year after I fainted on the DLR on my way to a friend's. I walked down the stairs and couldn't get air. I panted and my chest heaved, I was scared at the realisation I had become anaemic again. Why this is so terrible? I get quickly weak and out of breath at any little work done. So I tell myself, "time to meet the doctor" skip work and meet the doctor? Well, I had to pray for the Blood of Jesus to be replaced with mine. Got home and got down on my knees to the father. Hallelujah! The miracle just begun.
Hair hour today
It has grown again! Two more inches!!!
How I spent my study time
Sometimes you don't wish to know. Other times you really want to and some other time, it's mixed feelings. Yesterday was one of those latter times and I don't know what to pray. Woke up about 2 am and was so worried sick about my clients and someone. I was in a dilemma with a client project and I didn't know how to fix it but that didn't bother me as much as this someone did. I was concerned about the recent events in this someone's life (sorry can't mention names) and somehow I teared up because I was in the dark with the whole situation. Called to pray with this someone but I couldn't get the words out my throat, ended up saying a very short prayer and dropped the call, now that felt awkward. I was like "what did I just do?" Well, that didn't end my worry. I had to get on my knees to pray for all that worried me including my clients.
PRAYER FEELS GOOD. THE AFTER-EFFECT EVEN AMAZING AND AWESOME.
I woke up feeling good, stopped worrying and began worshipping God. My concern for this someone is still there but I'm not worried. I know it will fix itself somehow because God is alive. For my clients, hallelujah!! Yesterday began its victory.
The challenge begins
I looked into my Supervisor's eyes with fear as he mentioned those words "you have to rethink your project. We need you to get a paper out ASAP" I was lost for words when he asked what next I'll do. I began a marathon prayer: "Lord this can't be happening. For years I have prepared to do this, planned my work and now?" Right there, thank God for mercy, he gave me hope and he told me this which I echoed "It's a challenge, I'll get back to you in a week" with a smile so broad. I was so sure God will sort me out. Did he? He sure did and I'll tell you all about it.
I went to my office feeling like a star, next Albert Einstein Lool. It's the God in me! I got to work!
My first Poetry recording
It wasn't so good but I felt I should. Pardon the recording and my quarter British and African accent lol.
Here:
So PhD begins
Sadness began as I walked through the door to the office of the school administration. Like dark circles, my life for the next three years played before me. Did I say "I'm doomed".. I didn't but it did look like it. I cried my first postgrad research cry on my first day, how pathetic?
Well, what they don't really explain to you are details of a full-time research. I will explain:
To finish excellently well, technically 24 hours a day is not enough!
You need minimum 60 hours a week (these times are for Christians only cos church is subtracted from the hours).
Having a Mon-Fri five hours a day job? I strongly advice not to Dare! I've got almost same dilemma
Living two hours by road travel away from University? Your biggest nightmare!
Put all of these and extra personal work going, you can understand my point. Sleep is now a luxury. Four hours of sleep is a great gift!
If you are considering a research postgrad, mostly a PhD.. Think strongly on these things. I am caught up now. Don't get caught up!
My very slow Sunday
However slow, my day was great! I feel absolutely great even though I had less time sitting in church, was mostly working on the visual and audio systems making sure others got blessed through the media. And oh, The feeling you get after church when you know God has given you a new life and all your past pain and everything before are now behind. That's how Sundays should be.
Thank God for today!
Celery shrimp boat
I got back with my home making today after struggling with weighty bags of shopping from Beckton on the DLR, out the station to my flat. My shoulders ached as I prayed for strength, it has been one hectic week.
So, I felt like I was up for the kitchen but to do something pretty easy. I got on my recipe app and found how to prepare this snack so I got to it. The shrimp sauce tastes great!
All you need:
Celery sticks
Cooked, peeled prawns
Green onions about three
Three tablespoons of orange juice
Fromage blanc
Sea salt
Some seasoning
Put all but the celery sticks into your food processor, cut up the sticks to form a boat and pour content of food processor on. That's it! Divine!!
I hate celery but I tried this out and it wasn't so bad. I need an alternative to celery though. Still can't finish two sticks left on my plate.
Using every opportunity to reach out
It never clicked in my head till today. While working something triggered. My job description includes getting in touch with clients to ensure they attend their appointments otherwise we may need to cancel and reschedule. Today, while making a call through to another client the Spirit spoke to me: "pray that God gives you an excellent spirit so that the manner you speak to people will preach God to them" I thought about it and I was "so true. How can I reach out everyday to people?" You don't have to go out preaching to reach out. You can reach out by behaving in a Christ-like manner. Initially, I had a problem with my line manager,a though she didn't know I disliked her attitude but everyone else seemed to. That fuelled it more. I joined them in talking about her and he Holy Spirit spoke to me to stop it, that wasn't Christ-like, I was encouraged to pray for her and to see her through God's eyes. Guess what? Her attitude towards me changed, she now talks to me with more respect than previous and even relates better with me than others. I pray that through my lifestyle she'd come to know Christ fully.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING EVERYDAY TO REACH OUT? ARE YOU LEADING PEOPLE TO HELL OR TO HEAVEN? Have a blessed day and great weekend too.
Seeing me through someone's eyes
I hate to admit it when I'm tired. People probably hear me say it when I have lots to do and can't figure it out. I got to hear it from someone close to me today. I sent some pictures of me preparing for work n when I finally got to work and all this person said was: you look tired.
I was like wow! True, I am tired, like I got to really think of it and admit it. I have a normal 9-5 job aside my IT contracts I run for African companies and also church work. I really got to see myself in another light. Anyway, spiritually, the bible is that mirror that tells you "Man, it is time to let satan do his job without you", "it's hi-time you took God seriously and spend some time with your father" I encourage you today to never forsake the Mirror God has given us; the bible.
Can't type, I am tired! I pray God blesses your evening.
THE PICTURES
At work just after lunch break
About to leave. Did you notice the scar on my face? That was a miracle, my entire face would have been scarred.
Back to School
After four years of study for both undergraduate and postgraduate (taught) studies, I find myself back to Uni again doing my research. I went up to Canterbury for registration today, never been there and I love it. Murder in the cathedral by T.S. Eliot played in my head as I approached Canterbury. What a lovely town to live in?
I am most grateful to God for all he did today. My day wasn't so great but in the end God turned it into a joyous one for me. I'm literally smiling here because someone beside me is making me laugh in side, I wish I can laugh out really loud, I would. So, I almost missed the coach back to London because I was helping someone find an accommodation in Canterbury, a new international student. I prayed silently in my heart as I boarded the bus back to the city centre to catch my coach. I prayed God will cause some serious delay and he did! I met hold-up as I approached the city centre and I was like omd I have missed it, I partially believed my prayers. I was literally 5mins late but God did hear my prayers. I got there and met a queue, asked a guy if it was the London coach and the time, he confirmed, I'm sure he wondered why I smiled. I said a little thank you to God right there.
I got on the coach and met this young pretty lady by my side. She brought out her iPad and I brought mine out too to type this post. As I tried to type my elbow touched her sleeve and she moved further in as if I've got a disease or something. I noticed she put all her stuff together away from me, then she locked her iPad. By the way, she is white, so I was like "oh, a racist" well, I just smiled and I'm so gassed right now, I want to laugh out loud because these people make me laugh. Why would anyone think themselves better just because they've got a different skin colour from another? God doesn't care if you are black, green, white, brown, whatever he causes the rain and sun to shine on all of us because he created the world and put these colours in to beautify the earth. I don't understand why one creature as equal as me would think themselves greater.. I am having the fun of my life right now, laughing within. Well got to go now. I pray your weekend is blessed too and more testimonies like mine.
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND LAUGHING TOO 😄😄😀😆😆😆
My random Facebook quotes
This is one of my first quotes I'm sharing on here if my memory serves me right:
It is not all about the doors that God will open on earth for us. It is about the door that will open in eternity if we are Christ-like. #factsofChristianity
GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!
