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.'

At my church, we organise summer camp meetings to worship God, study the word, listen to good Christian music, to share with and uplift one another. It is always an amazing time. 

This year, I did the West Africa Camp, the headquarter of West Africa being Nigeria. So I attend the camp situated in this village where everything is cheap. Food here can't be compared to the price in the closest city, Lagos. 

Worse of my experience at this Camp is, I got flu! So sad. But thank God it happened toward the end of my stay. I m so excited, because I am finally returning back to London. Yay! That city has been on my mind for long and I have been wishing to return. Now, a dream come true.

I am however, happy to attend this camp. Btw, I'm still at camp, leaving in tomorrow. The camp was powerful, amazing, awesome...... Really blessed.

I won't be able to share much detail now till I return to England. Internet is still not very good here. 

Remain blessed dear reader.

Have you ever got to the point where you wish to pray but you can't? I got to that point today. The devil knows how to steal your time, he almost succeeded by letting me worry about situations at hand. I was able to get back up in prayer but it wasn't like yesterday. I like hitting the climax with the Lord, in prayer. It is always an amazing time.

About my day, 

Still in Africa, my internet ran out and I had to get help!! Got some money on hand and ran out like something was going on with me to get more bandwidth. I just had to keep up with the world, my world in England. Oh I miss the summer there. It  has been raining cat and dog here. I don't like this time of the year in Africa to be honest. Well, I am pretty tired and about to do some bible study before bed. Tomorrow is Church, yay! An awesome time in His presence. Enjoy yours because I defo will enjoy man. Blessings to you and yours

I am a programmer, database developer and cyber security researcher by career. I am currently in Africa devoting my time for web development to my small firm. We currently have a number of projects going on and The Lord has been faithful.

Everyday, I wake up and do not leave my apartment here in western Africa, I sit back to work because I've got deadlines. I take a nap and wake up in the wee hours to work till dawn. I sleep in the morning and when I wake up, I devote time to studying the word and deep consecration, communicating with my Father in heaven.

Well, today took a different toll. I woke up and felt the need to dedicate time to the word and prayers. Oh yes! It's time to wait on The Lord, not just for blessings but also for more Grace and wisdom to walk with him, according to his will.

So instead of my usual work routine, this morning, I am praying, listening to sermons and watching my church summer camp going on currently in Portland, I'll be attending the UK one, that's my permanent location. God has been gracious and spending this day with him even in the midst of tight deadlines and problematic program codes, is my utmost joy. Join me if you care to, otherwise, I'll be praying for you. Blessings to you and yours!

So I visit this company with a friend where she is to be interviewed for a job. The company direction looked dodgy initially and then we started out after a sumptuous meal at Shoprite.
We walked about 4 mins to get to the company. The external look wasn't pleasant and the environment very non-professional looking. We got in, walked up the stairs and we pressed the doorbell. The sound was not professional at all, it was some long ring that you'd hear at a student apartment (if they have any)... but seriously??? We got laughing from the door. The look of the office was okay to give some credit. The receptionist's computer wasn't a desktop but a worn-almost-dead laptop, she was practically doing nothing on it.
Then came a call and another receptionist takes the call and all she said was 'hello'.  No introduction of the company and greeting?
My best friend said during the interview the first question asked was "can we meet you?" seriously? That means introduce yourself. Then an interviewer tries to tell my friend about Australia he hasn't been but were my friend studied and worked for some years. Why do people think they know so much? Worse,  he had the wrong information... lol. I am so tired. My fingers are hurting from the long day.

Currently I am in Africa  on a business tour. In this part, electricity can be a scarce commodity. So last night I slept in the heat, my batteries on all my devices were out! Being a techie person, these are  essential parts of my life, i couldn't do work the next day without power.

The last charge on one of my my phones and iPad got me  connected to a close friend on Facebook. I was mentioning my frustration to my friend. I told my friend I was going to pray for power to return... lol

I got praying for electricity and somehow I had this strong faith it will return soon. Thank God, the weather has been fair, slept off. Two hours later I open my eyes to electricity. Isn't the Lord good? Apparently, electricity returned shortly after I went to bed. What faith can do.
