Will you thank HIM please...?

Dear GOD,

I want to thank you for what you have already done. I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better, I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed; I am thanking you right now. I am thanking you because I am alive.

I am thanking you because I made it through the day's difficulties.
I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles.
I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.

I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.


I got that lovely piece from a good friend and it lifted my spirit. I know we should all improve on showing gratitude to God even for the things we consider as little mercies.

I have been a bit low in the spirit for some days now but God has been awesome as always. My blogger friends have been supportive with comments. Sister Sayo i know is smilling down at the rest of the family from heaven.

Yeah,no gist really. It wont be a boring weekend tho. I have to take out my braids this night. Have i ever blogged about my passion for Nigerian films? I have a box load of Cd's. I only do yoruba films tho, i will only watch the english ones when i am absolutely BORED!
On wednesday, i bought 15 yoruba films, that means my sleeping time is now 10pm for the next 3 weeks. Not a bad deal for someone that doesnt go out after work. My social life is nil that i know but what can a girl do? I guess i need to find out from my london peeps what they do to catch fun.Buki, funmi, Desola and Calabar girl over to you.

I was gisting with my colleague at work and she asked me if i were to rewind and fastfowward my life what age would i love to be. Well, to rewind abeg na 5 years old o with all the innocence and all. Worshiping God with truth and awe, believing that there is actually santa claus. Willy willy truly exists and i can throw my tooth on the roof so it can grow quickly. Infact there was a time i actually planted egg shells just for another to grow. As if that was not enough, i went to the stream by my house once in ibadan to catch tadpoles, thinking they were actually little fishes!
I can never forget the way my mum laughed that day before she called her husband to come and see what his children brought home!

To fast foward: me at 80 with my husband at our grandkids' graduation or wedding or some celebration. More prayers and we will get there abi now.

To all my October peeps, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Cant start mentioning names i am not ready to blow my cover.

Have a lovely weeknend all.
