TOBI NO LONGER COHEN..

So my niece got married earlier this month in Israel. You know those amazing things you hear and wish it would happen to you but then you push them away because the dream tall pass you? That was this trip for me. Me and my siblings went for the wedding. It was AMAZING! The New Testament came alive! I walked the path Jesus walked, where He was born and crucified? Me kwa? I went to the wailing wall to pray with my brothers? It was indeed a life time experience. God bless Mr and Mrs Cohen immensely, may God give you unforgettable blessings to your tenth generation.

This Tobi that used to follow my friends and I around in Kano, is now married! Tega don old. The next generation don start to marry.

God bless your union Tobi and Vadim, I wish you many years together filled with love and fruitfulness.

HAPPY NEW YEAR IN FEBRUARY..

Four days after my last post, I fell very ill. Had a case of ketoacidosis ( use dictionary abeg). And somehow I haven't really got my self back, I still get dizzy spells once in a while. You know how you just up and move and you don't understand you need to give praise to the one who gives you the opportunity and privilege to be healthy. 

I remember reading Open Heavens a few years ago where we were asked to thank God for at least an hour, by the time I had covered everything and everyone I checked the time it was a bleeping 10 mins!!!

I had prayed like I was gonna spill my guts. And it was just 10 mins???

Now if you ask me to do 1hour of thanksgiving, I'd probably do 2 hours without knowing. Thanking Him for health alone will probably take the 30 mins. 

When I realize I was a coke bottle away from diabetic coma, I understand the goodness and mercies God freely gives.

Was having a conversation with my older siblings and we were talking about thanksgiving and my sister told me to listen to Solomon Lange's 'Yesu Masoyina'. And I was totally lost in love. 

Indeed I'm thankful for life!!!

BORROW NOW..

I went to shoprite on valentine Sunday at around 11am to buy wrapping paper and thought I could dash in and out since it was one item, I was grateful for the '10 items or less' cahsier till but as I reach there I see people with trailer load of tins, I tried to speak grammar telling them to follow the rules so I can run, but as naija people be na, I totally was ignored and the only person wey even answer me tell me say no be UK we dey. 

So I was silently seething and then this little boy walks up to a woman on the queue and says in the most cheeky manner 'favor was punished in Sunday school today because she didn't remember her memory verse' and walks away with a smirk on his face. The mother was so embarrassed because everyone heard.

This boy needs to be flogged by his mother for being a 'reporter'. These are the people who grow up to be 'eye service' people, trying to gain silly favors from people of authority, making themselves appear like they are the good ones. 

What is the motive behind your reporting? Will it hurt the person? someone told you about someone else, then you go and tell the person??? If what you will say will hurt the person, and not bring solution, brethren I humbly advise you pray for the person.

If you report a matter, you automatically make people ( even the person you reported to) wary of you and life is like water, you never know when you will flow into each other in future.

Another name for the book of proverbs should be 'BORROW BRAIN'. Thank you Michelle Ante for making me read the book of 'borrow brain' again.
