Rain and more

Hey peeps....Am looking forward to this weekend. It turkey day on thursday....Gobble gobble....
A lots been going on but first things first, please we need prayers in GA...We are on level 4 drought warning. It is becoming a major problem. We will not have water in a few months if we continue like this..I know what some people are thinking, are we naija? ask me o! i tire... The governor of GA held an all nite vigil for rain and it rained the next day, so i believe in d power of prayers..Its supposed to rain on thursday, pls we need prayers, we need to be baptised with water, we need Georgia to be flooded on thursday.

So i was at work yesterday when i got a call from a member who was going to schedule an appt for her 1 month old grandson, the woman was 35 yrs...Upon probing further turns out the mother of the child is 12 yrs old so she cant go to the doctors with her baby cos she;s a minor. I screamed... What in the hell is a 12yr old doing having a baby. Shoot! i dont even think i'd had my period at 12...This is very disturbing...Are we living in d age of sodom and gomorrah? Scary init?

ASK

You know as i sit here at my desk at work, half asleep and half awake...Yeah right!! who am i fooling? Calls are slow coming in and my eyes are burning which is indicative that its snooze time, i remember just a few months ago how so frustrated i was with my old job. You see, most times we ask God to change our situation and make it better, but we dont give him nothing to work with. As in, you cant ask God to change your situation or give u another job and you're not even willing to put your resume out there and watch him do his thing. This was the boat i found myself in. Am sure my friends probably got sick and tired of me complaining about my job. Folks kept telling me that i was better and had more potential than what i was doing.
I remember one day walking into my old job and just crying and saying to God, please change things around for me. That was how so frustrated i was. Suddenly o, things began to happen...as in for no reason my boss started giving me hell, lies were told about me. I was devastated!!! It was a wake up call for me, like God used that situation to take me away from that job to answer my prayers. Gave myself a week to find something else. Myself and DH prayed about it and on the last day of the one week i had asked for a miracle, like play like play o, got another Job with the perfect schedule for me. I still get calls from my ex-co workers and they say stuff like"girl! i never believe you could leave this company"...As if na my papa get the company.. rubbish...I had put in 3 years into that company and twas time to go....
The purpose of this post? well, this is to encourage anyone who might be going thru stuff and feel like when will the situation change? I dare you to take it to the one with the higher power and offer him something to work with...(as in dont be praying for a new accomodation and you dont have a timeline ) and see if he wont do surprise you. Dont get too comfortable with your present situation if it aint where you want to be.
Be encouraged......L8r

Been a while since i blogged and i feel so ashamed of myself. When will i get a hang of this...Anyways am back now and do hope to keep up with this.

Ok here;s to timely updates and gbeboruns....Cheers to longevity of blogville. Only the strong will survive.

So proud of myself!!!

This post is actually inspired by calabar gal, london buki, and vicki's weightloss blog. Last week i slacked on my diet. I noticed i had gained 3pounds over the past week(s). I could actually feel it. It was only 3pounds but i felt heavy and uncomfortable. So i decided to go back to the basics. Yes it would hurt but oh well..... Somehow i stumbled across London buki's blog and found some great tips. These girls started off not being able to run for 3mins and here they are running the 5k. Geezz!!!

Anyway that really inspired and i made a commitment to power walk and jog 3miles everyday of the week and watch what i ate to the "T", but guess what? i shocked myself....I found this nice but spooky 5mile trail close to me and power walked 5miles the first time and then alternated between running and walking..... I am so proud of myself...For you to understand my joy, i dont run for nada...as in i am so prissy, i amaze myself sometimes...but here i was running and breaking out a sweat and the funny thing was that i was actually loving it. By the end of the week, i had lost a pound. Not great!! but i am pleased with myself.. So now this week i am making a commitment to running atleast 3x. My roomate is even in on the 5mile thing.

Thanks calabar gal and london buki for sharing your tips. Because of your help i have been able to conquer my fear of running and i've fond something i now love to do.

I go love o!!!!!!!

This was shared with me. Can you imagine waking up every morning of your life with text messages like these from your significant other?



"Walk with me when your heart needs a companion,

Talk to me when you feel alone,

Trust me when the world says no,

Think of me whenever you need a true friend.

Good morning my dear, i miss you"



OR EVEN BETTER



"Your love is like the golden lamp of the temple,

Your pillar of love shines in the sanctuary of my mind,

In the rhythm of life we sometimes find ourselves out of tune,

I have found my tune in you my love.

Good morning and have an awesome day!!!"



Can you imagine? abeg me i go love jare.

Love is a beautiful thing when you find the right person or the one whom your heart is in sync with.

Indecent or not.....Trousers, pants or not.

Naija and some of the ridiculous things they do. They just amaze me sometimes. So my brother is in naija at the moment and in the one week he's spent there, you can only imagine the stories he's had to tell. The one i find to be rather disturbing is that of the recent law that was passed against indecent dressing. We were talking when he first got there and he was saying how naija girls no easy o, and a few days later he tells me they have passed a new law against indecent dressing...What mess!!! Who decides what is indecent or not. To make matters worse, they not only passed a law against it, you could be taken to jail and the only way you can get out is by a bail of 20,000 naira. Are you kidding me!!! I had a good laugh sha when i heard cos i feel for the middle or low class people. It would just be another way of cops or is it naija police now exploiting people. I just forsee females getting raped and harassed all in the name of the law. Naija never ceases to amaze me. Admitedly, there is a a problem wit the way some nigerian females go overboard with their dressing, but why do the nigerian government expend so much energy on irrelevant things and neglect the oh so important issues like communcation wahala, the poor state of the nation, better infrastructures for their citizens, better public school sytems, the unbelieveable rate of crime..I could go on and on as the list is endless..Na indecent dressing dem dey talk about....Rubbish!!! I hope they are not trying to turn nigeria to another iraq abi na saudi...This is just me rambling as i see this as utterly disturbing and nauseating.......

BTW...G.O Adeboye has banned workers wearing trousers to redeemed churches. I attend redeemed here and all i can say is thank God am not in nigeria cos i lurrrrrrrrrrrvvvvvvv my pants. I am secretly praying that this doesnt apply to the redeemed in the states, otherwise i am screwed. Heck!! 90% of my clothes are pants.. Ok OK i know i am biased but whareva......

I miss blogging

My gosh!!! I have missed blogging like crazy.. Not for lack of inspiration, but because other things have taken me away from my love for blogging...example crackbook.....
This weekend was mad fun...I went BOWLING!!!!Yep you heard me..I went bowling for the first time ever with friends from our young adult group. Honestly, i was skeptical about it when my friend LA called me about it, partly cos i was going to be the only girl there but on second thots i was like what da heck? i'll go jare and enjoy the attention.
So i got to brunswick late as usual (why cant i be ontime anywhere?) and it was akward initially. The guys paid for my shoes and socks and one of the guys BJ gave me beginners lesson. After 3 hours of fun. Yours truly came last after 2 rounds (yes o am proud of myself. I no try? atleast i commot for house).
Its something i would most definitely do again and again. It really nice to have gotten to spend time with the guys. On sunday after church, i went out to lunch with our pastor and his family and some other folks from church. That too was nice. Overall it was a relaxing weekend. Am not looking forward to this week though cos i'll be working 8days straight just to get the weekend off.
