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.

Brotherly Love

I miss my brother who returned to Africa some months back. We normally shared everything here in England and because he was so funny, he loved to share comic-lines with me or some funny videos. It made me feel I had my entire family with me. Anyway, thank God for whatsapp should I say?
This morning he made me smile by sending a very beautiful poem from an unknown author and I thought to share it with you, although this version has been modified a tad by me. Blessings

 As I was walking

Down life's highway 
Many years ago

I came upon a
Sign that read

Heavens Grocery Store..

When I got a
Little closer

The doors swung
Open wide

And when I came
To myself

I was standing
Inside..

I saw a host of
Angels.

They were 
Standing everywhere

One handed me a
Basket

And said 'My
Child shop with care..'

Everything a
Human needed
Was in that
Grocery store

And what you
Could not carry
You could come
Back for more

First I got some
Patience.

Further down was
Understanding,
You need that
Everywhere you go..

I got a box or
Two of Wisdom 
And Faith a bag
Or two.

And Charity of
Course
I would need some
Of that too..

I couldn't miss
The Holy Ghost
It was all over
The place.

And then some
Strength
And Courage to 
Help me run this race.

My basket was
Getting full
But I remembered
I needed Grace,

And then I chose
Salvation for
Salvation was for
Free

I tried to get
Enough of that to do
For you and me..

Then I started to
The counter
To pay my grocery
Bill,

For I thought I
Had everything
To do the Masters
Will.

As I went up the
Aisle
I saw Prayer and
Put that in ,

For I knew when I
Stepped outside
I would run into
Sin.

Peace and Joy
Were plentiful,
The last things
On the shelf.

Song and Praise
Were hanging near
So I just helped
Myself.

Then I said to
The angel

'Now how much do
I owe?'

He smiled and
Said

'Just take them
Everywhere you go.'

Again I asked
'Really now,

How much do I 
Owe?'

'My child' he
Said , 'God paid your bill
A long long time
Ago.'
