I'm trying to find my Christmas Spirit, I Don't know where it ran to.

I don't feel Christmas. I KNOW tomorrow is Christmas but I don't feel it.
The yuletide season is pronounced everywhere - On Tv, on the Internet (just check Google's doodle, tweets and facebook walls), in public places (I was at the bank yesterday and too many people were on Christmas caps/hats) and in my house (Mum is receiving chickens and drinks anyhow - The woman keeps laughing, reciting in my ear that 'A good name is better than riches and It's not easy to be a senior citizen' as if na she first retire

DISILLUSIONED

Shared dreams
Shredded dreams
Promises made
Promises maimed
My wounds are awake
They bleed red ink
I bottled up these smiles
Hoping to get drowned in them

I Was Asked to Probate

      One year ago, i was sitting on this bench, in a teenage meeting at my church, thanking God for grace and strength to read, and for a successful completion of my 2nd year in the university. One year after, i am sitting on the same bench on the same spot in the a teenage meeting at my church, not sure how or whether to thank God for the completion, (hopefully successful), of my 2nd year...AGAIN!

Ts DECEMBER.....Process, Patience and Paths

Its a great day yea? Its the first day of the last month of the year and I can't help but be thankful for God's mercies and grace. 2014 is coming to its end and I'm witness to it, not because of how I am but because of whose I am. Because my Father has counted me worthy to be alive.
As I kept thinking of how great it feels to see December 2014, I couldn't help but remember those who didnt get here. Those people who died a couple of hours/days/weeks before December 1st. Its sad and I pray most earnestly that majority of such would have had Jesus in their heart because at the end of our temporal existence on earth, the only factor that would count as regards where we spend eternity is having or not having Jesus in our hearts and what would count in the lives of those we leave behind is not how much money we had/how successful we were or how often we had

CHRISTMAS AT THE DOOR

I was sad I had no shoes until I saw a man with no legs.

Like play like play, December will soon reach. Like say na joke, Christmas is one month away, 2015 is around the corner. Whilst trying to meet my checklist for 2014 ASAP so I can actually have a playful, work free Christmas, I'm reminded of those who don't have the opportunities I have, who can't flex and have fun like I can.
Its 1am and I'm thinking of those families who may not be able to cook Christmas rice, those kids who don't know what it feels like to have christmas dress and I'm thankful for how God has blessed me.
A lot of times, we take those little things like water, air, food, and shelter for granted. We are so used to having them around that we forget these are the basic necessities that make life worth living.
I remember been close to dehydration at a point on friday and immediately I got a sachet of water, I unconsciously let out a deep sigh that was followed by 'Lord thank you for water'

My Marriage plans

I'm a girl with big dreams and great potentials. There is so much I want to achieve, so much I want to do and impact. At the point when it seemed like I had so much clustered in my mind and thus, no definite career plan, I took time out and wrote down everything I had in mind. Then, I made lists - a list for the things that came naturally and thus would need just a little brushing up here and there,  a list for those that needed professional trainings and or tutorials, and then the academic list. I then went further and set a timeline for each of them

The blessing is in the application

I think the most enjoyable sleep is that which happens after you first wake up in the morning. That 5/10mins sleep you allocate to yourself before you finally stand up to begin the day. That struggle, - the battle between sleeping a little more or standing up to begin the day could be one of the toughest, yet that few minutes of sleep is very relaxing for me. It does something to my system.
No! Chill! This post isn't about sleep. Its about what the Holy Spirit whispered to me while I was observing my sleep after sleep this morning.
He said and I quote 'THE BLESSING IS IN THE APPLICATION'.
