Avalon - Testify To Love

Hello Friend,

How are you doing today? Great I'm sure. I was listening to this song this morning, and I just got goose bumps all over. It is great to know that the least of the things I can do for all God has done for me, is to testlfy of His Love. He is love.

Thank you Jesus for the privilege to be a witness to Your love.

Be blessed as you listen.

Much needed rest!

Hello friend,

How are you doing today? Great I'm sure. How was your thanksgiving weekend? Mine was very dry and I needed the rest. Used the period to catch up on much needed sleep, etc. There was lots going on as usual especially eating and shopping. Didn't even do any black Friday shopping but next year I'm there! lol. Really tough past 2 wks, so much gist flew esp. during the past week oh! but I guess I'll be chipping it in along the way (other posts). God just bulldozed through it all for me.

Have you heard about this detox diet thing a lot of people are talking about now? Well it's all about juicing different vegetable and drinking only that or a variety for 3 days or so. The fruit fast diet is something that has been popular for a long time but the vegetable diet has really a fad right now. I guess with this new deal of everyone trying to eat healthier, it's taken on with some. Doctors say they use it to detox patients before surgery. I was watching Oprah sometime ago and I remember Dr. Oz saying it wasn't going to get rid of toxins in the body but is a great start to eating healthier. Don't really know.

Really sometimes we just eat too much junk and need to cleanse our systems. I found this link on Rachael ray's website. You can actually order the products from them online. I'm just checking out the website myself. Once I saw it on TV, my next trip to the grocery store included stopping by the celery corner lol. I tried making my own super duper drink (celery and apples). Boy oh boy, the taste was so awful. Needless to say some of the celery is still in the fridge, But I'll try it again tomorrow. I can say this for sure, having more vegetables in my system made a difference, even it is was psychological. It made me feel healthier.



It's the beginning of yet another week. We praise God. God is really good. Can you imagine it's the end of the year? Unbelievable. Yday's service in church was an anointing service. I received my anointing to gather soooo much. You just need to listen to message. Click here.

If you can please take the prayers we took. Some of the things he said were: A person of prayer cannot be depressed (Prayer assumes you of what you have not seen), Ignorance is no answer to spiritual things (My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge Hosea 4: 6a), our ability to receive determines how much we can receive from God (our vessel to receive is faith). Soooo many things. God bless you as you listen. you can also open http://www.biblegateway.com/ to follow the bible passages.

May God help us all in Jesus mighty name.

Crunch Time!

Hello Friend,

How are you doing today? Seeing less and less of me right? Well it's just for a while. It really is crunch time oh! Forget!!! I have 3 wks to go in school and it is crazeee. You know when u're almost at the end of any journey, that is when the pain really kicks in, be it a race, pregnancy, journey, you name it.

I just had to go like God this is when I need you the most. We had prayer on Tuesday in church (small group) and we were all like praying through our noses lol. low voices and much more sitting, and leaning than the usual aggressive pacing. lol. I mean you could just tell the atmosphere was a bit un-aggressive. Our pastor joined us towards the end and was like 'when you don't feel like praying, that when u need to use all your might and all that is left within you the most'. In our subconscious we all know that, but sometimes it needs to be announced to us. That is exactly how I will treat my assignments and classes for the rest of the three weeks. I'm about tired of presentations, assignments, project work, tests, exams, discussions ...etc but ow is the time to bring it all home. Ruuhaaa! Go buks! (lol. ah! it's true. Need to psyche myself. Game on). God is my strength. Without him I am nothing.

So a lot has happened in the past week. My daughter had her bday. Yipee! That was nice. All we did was eat. No party. She just did the normal cake cutting and singing in church but at home we ate up a storm. That was fun. We're also practicing for our dance, and drama in church. It really is a big deal cos we haven't done our usual drama/dance in church for a while, for a long while, infact since I was like 5mths pregnant. Long time. So it's finally good to be back on track with that. We thank God. Looking froward to teaching the kids a christmas carol dance too. That would be great to celebrate Christ at christmas don't you think?

To encourage you this morning, I want you to remember what my Pastor said above. I also want you to know that it is never, never too late to pursue your dreams. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. My Father in heaven is faithful to do it for you, as long as you believe. If you're in the middle of pursuing your dreams, don't give up. Circumstances may seem like it's no longer worth chasing or people may discourage or oppress you but as long as you keep in line with the will of God concerning it, He is faithful and will complete it.

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" Phil 1:6

"Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass". Psalm 37:5

Let go and let God!

Hello Friend,

How are you doing today? I'm Sure you've been pretty busy. Had a bit of a flood in our basement on Thursday and it's been something else trying to get it all clean it all up. By God's grace in like another week, it should all be a thing of the past (completely gisting you about it may take a whole post). School's hectic too, so much work that I had a presentation last week and almost blanked out. Just kept talking, all I had planned quickly flew out of the window but I didn't run out of what to say which was good. Beat myself up about it all week cos I wanted it to be perfect but...

Counting the days to be done. Wow I just can't believe it. God is really a faithful God. Service on Sunday was really beautiful. A guest minister (Pastor Tola Odutola) came over to preach a message titled 'Our God is a God of twist'. It was really powerful. God is God, and no one can question his actions or decisions. Situations do not decrease God from being who he is. He talked about God sending Jesus to the world to save us in such an unpredictable way that so many people refused to believe that Jesus was and is the son of God. People expected Jesus to come in such a grandiose way. How could the son of the most high God be a carpenter's son. Some of us are of the thought that we would have believed but if we imagine the situation of a single lady getting pregnant with the promised son in 2007 to be born to a carpenter and for it to be said that he is the son of God. We would most likely have condemned it all.

It may seem that God is not showing himself in your situation but by the time He shows up, the twist will be so miraculous, it will be obvious that it is only God that could have done it. The message spoke to many issues and it was so powerful. You can check it out. Click here.

My general message for today is let go and let God. He is the only one who knows how to manipulate situations to best fit us. All wee need to do is follow his word faithfully (righteousness). It is well. May God help all of us in Jesus mighty name.
