6 year old: I want to marry a Prince like in little mermaid and we will live happily ever after
13 year old: I want to marry Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan

21 year old: I want to marry a young and rich professional preferably a doctor, lawyer or an Investment banker. He shouldn’t speak with an accent, that’s a no no, he should be classy, “he should respect and appreciate me as a strong black woman” more blah blah…..

1Corinthians 9:27 I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

Why worry?

So much has happened in so little time........ I joined Visa Journey, cause I am now going through the process of waiting for anything to happen so that my hubby and I can be together. I feel like I am trapped in a "the future will never get here" time trap. I am going through a lot in my daily life I just feel that if the oceans did not separate us I would feel better. So rather than worry about the distance and the time it would take for us to be together I sit and think of God's mercy on my life. I am currently reading a book called Pilgrim's Progress..... I believe every christian should have a copy. I am getting a new awareness of the gift of grace through the blood of Christ. Oh what a joy to know Christ died for me........ I am learning and growing and yearning more for Christ and I pray for perseverance in every area of my growth/life.


Matthew 6vs27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?

Naija union

It has been a while that I have vented about the workings of my mind........., well I still have some level of malaria and I am totally exhausted of feeling sick all the time. Even though I have not been 100% I have been able to plan/attend different events. Most recent was a baby shower, most of the women that attended were either married or engaged. Which brings me to the topic on my mind........... In the beginning of most relationships there is love and understanding, half way through these feeling either get deeper or the couple is struggling, and by the time you have woken up with the same person for 20yrs. It is either you two can't live without each other or you are already divorced. At this time a most of my friends are still in the early stages of marriage..... I wonder if it will be a thrilling and exciting ride for me...... I know I have to learn to be submissive and respectful to my hubby no matter what?????????? Do I keep my expectations or let go of expecting anything. Learning is a very interesting venture, I am open to all possibilities and my senses are tingling with joy.

John 20:29 You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe with out seeing me.

A little more time

DRAMA,
Is the best way to describe everything that has happened over the last month..... I just got back from Naija bout a week ago. So let me start from the beginning and end with a very short version. I flew into Abuja airport for the first time due to all the hype, but trust me it is not even worth the trouble..... First, they harass any one that looks like they spent too much time out the country. I had to lie that I was still a student to have all the 50 custom offices that wanted to know what I brought back for them to leave me alone. This lie also had to be brought up when I was finally leaving cause they wanted me to leave some thing behind for them..... Do they need a pay raise or do they think everyone that fly in/out of the country has it made... My dear we are all on the hustle......

Moving on, I travelled to Benin, Yenegua, Oghara, Ibadan, Lagos, then back to Benin, finally back to Abuja.... Trust me there was nothing about it that was easy. Fighting off stomach aches and fever. Through it all I am now engaged and had to meet all the aunts and uncles in the whole of Nigeria cause our union needed their special blessings.

There were political battles that just leave me too exhausted to think of what can truly save Nigeria... The youth in the country just go with the flow and the elders just continue to take and loot. I was told that I have been away too long, many people have good/wonderful ideas, but there is limited avenues to see them through. This is a case of trying to feed a family of 20 people with 1 cup of garri. WHO GETS TO EAT AND WHO DIES OF STARVATION????.

My trip gave me a more grounded look at Nigeria and the social/ political issues and truly we need to communicate SELF RESPONSIBILITY AND RESPECTFUL INTERDEPENDENCE.

All in all I had a blast, I got to hang out in the Federal Capital Territory(FCT). Missed me initial return due to weather and go-slow(that's my story and I am sticking to it). So stayed in Abuja for an extra 3 days which extended my vacation from 2wks-3wks.

Got back to the states on friday nite and by tuesday- malaria waged war on my body. By thrus my whole stomach wanted to exit through my mouth. At that time I decided that since I was not smart enough to medicine all this time or bring any from naija I will go see what my NY doc can do for me..... The worst is that I just die in the hospital rite.....
Well it turns out that the doc knew bout the fever and went ahead and offered me Chloroquine..... My people I was toooooo weak, hot and dazzed to argue even thought I knew the pinching to come(but hey it would only last for one day rite.)

LOL, come see me dey cry when for 3 days I won tear my skin and drain my blood commot for my body. I could not sleep or shower, I call every one in the world to know what can be done and all i got were alot of u should've, could've.... I do not know why such punishment would be given to a sick person especially with the newer drugs available.

To top it off, all the issues of missed flight and falling sick cut into work time..... So the Man is holding a knife over my neck.

If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities. Luke 16:10

Only in Naija- is that so??????

Well this will be what some will consider free writing.... My step-grandmother(we all know how that is sometimes) passed away in March and she will be getting buried this friday. Come to find out that rumor has it that she was killed(spiritually). One of my cuz asked me that why is is that one can not just die and let it be accepted as such. I also spoke with someone who told me a young lady about my age was killed because she did not want to get married. The question now is why would people pay others to find wives for them, is that not a form of slavery??????
To top it off this week, my car died and caused me to get to work 2hrs late...... this week has been quite interesting, but I will not be trapped in touchy feelly situations. I have been blessed to come in contact with individuals who have a wealth of encouraging words and experiences. of course backed by God's grace.

Luke 8:21 Jesus replied, " My mother and my brothers are all those who hear God's word and obey it".

Naija rule

Well as the time draws near, I begin to understand the pressures that come with having a wedding in Nigeria with Nigerian family members...... Everyone has something to say about the way everything should be done. The interesting thing is my intended does not seem to be bothered by any of the "do it this way talk" from his end. I am feeling stressed cause of all the mind multitasking I have going on and I really need to concentrate on the Joy of the Lord as my Strength.

Luke 6:46 So why do you keep calling me 'Lord, Lord!' when you don't do what I say?

Naija fever

In exactly two weeks I will be packed and ready to get on the plane to Naija, abeg somebody pinch me. I went to a traditional wedding of a friend last nite and it was quite interesting...... I no know why some weddings just dey make person won hurry up marry. The bride was so beautiful, and even though I did not personally know her, she made me feel as though we have been friends since forever(LOL)...... The white wedding is on Saturday, but I would need to be seriously crazy or superwoman to be able to make it, with my jam packed schedule between now and when I go on my trip. So many things to do, so many gifts to buy, so little time to pack. Everyone is getting ready for my introduction in Ibadan, but I am seriously nervous about meeting the parents of my intended in Benin..... Oh by the way the wedding I went to yesterday was a Benin wedding and everyone including the children spoke the language. I felt like I was intruding, *humph* this won wey I de won marry Benin man so, I hope den no go sell me one day. The best part of my trip will be the second week into my trip, I will be in Abuja for the whole week. After all the traveling and preparation/ events during the first week, I can finally enjoy some deserved time with my intended.
So guess what I did........ I called my cuz in London and her sis in Lagos. I want have a full nite to me and my girls, I already contacted some of my main chicks in naija and we are going to paint the town red....... This of course if dependant on knowing where all the parties are going to be in the last weekend in august. This plan is making my intended see green and I am like " my dear you can come and watch if you want".... ROFL

Luke 1:14 You will have great joy and gladness and many will rejoice at his birth.....
