Praise God!
Hello Friend,
Wow! I am finally done (for now) with school! I praise God. I finished my last class Thursday night but couldn't start jumping up and down till now. I still had a final paper to submit for a course. I just sent it in to my instructor and got a confirmation he received it PHewww!. I feel like a huge load has just been lifted off my shoulders I'm telling you. The last three or is it four weeks, were crazy! I had so much workload it was unbelievable. I was almost pulling my hair out. I was so weak. I just thank God I could actually do the 12 day fasting. I don't know how but it was just by his strength. I hope you did too. Our 2008 is settled in the mighty name of Jesus.
I really want to testify to the goodness of God. It's not like there are no challenges such as finances, balancing all aspects of one's life etc but through it all there is only one constant thing and that is the love of God. Last year during our prayer and fasts, concerning my academics. I prayed that I would be finished by Dec 2008, that my G.P.A would 4.0 and that I would have no student loans and not owe my school a penny. God did it oh! I bless God for His mercy and give Him all the glory. It really pays to serve God. I just remember when I was going to school in the snow with my huge belly, broke, stressed (emotionally and physically) and sick. I almost lost my faith that it would all happen but God strengthened me. He kept me through it all. There are challenges and always will be but the word of God says, "He will never leave nor forsake you" Hebrews 13:5.
Not only that I finished school on Thursday, and I got a job on Wednesday. I'll be starting in three weeks, and am really appreciative and grateful for that. It's not completely full time but I'm thinking that extra time will be useful for my business or what do you think? The three weeks before I start I'm planning to finish up my website. By God's grace I'll be able to finish it or least get really close to finishing.
I really missed you oh! I was beginning to forget a lot of things cos my brain was just overheating. My last exam was even awful ehn hen that's true haven't gisted you about that. I still have one more grade to check oh! I got my exam results in my last class on Thursday and i wasn't happy about it. I knew the score would be like that cos on the exam day I was so overwhelmed I just couldn't think. Right now I am falling borderline btw an A and a B. I am believing God that it will be an A hence I'm giving my testimony in church tomorrow. Stepping out in faith concerning it.
I'd just like to leave you with the fact that not matter what we desire, we should always desire the things of God first. If we do that, then God will grant us the other things we did not ask for. The key is to focus on Him and serve Him fervently.

My Bday!
Hello Friend,
How are you doing today? Great I'm sure. It's my bday today!!! hip hip hip hooray! The fasting and prayer has been going really great honestly and today was no exception. I would have loved to be in service to listen to the sermon but I was upstairs in the children's department (boy was that hectic). I had to teach the two year olds'. It was fun and I know God will not forget my labor of love. I'm online now trying to watch to video, so I can be uplifted in my spirit.
Got calls from naija and the UK from so many people even those that I did not expect it was kool. My grandparents even sent me a card all the way from Osun state, they always do and never miss it. So kool. I have to say though that apart from their card I only got 1 other one. No cake, no food/dinner, no gift but I tell you the spiritual gift from God is just the best. Spending most of my day in church and in His presence is always the ultimate for me. I know it makes one feel really good to get physical stuff and it can be quite a bummer not to receive them (need a Buki appreciation day) but Jesus filled the gap, He always does. Halleluyah.
I am grateful for life, for His mercy, for grace, for divine health, for my family, for my tomorrow, for all God has done in every area of my life and will continue to do, I praise and honour Him. Today we prayed for our 9th month of the year 2008. I have to log off to concentrate on taking the prayers online before midnight. You can always listen to the prayer we take everyday as well and take them for yourself and your family. It is much more encouraging and intense when you hear the voice of others taking the prayers with you. Click here to listen.
I have to go print my final project tomorrow, so I'm going to be up all night editing the last draft. Hope to catch you Tuesday. I exhort you to begin your week afresh and anew with Christ as your centre focus. It is well.

12 day fast
Hello Friend!
How are you doing? I trust you are great. Was just singing this song:
Thank you Jesus
Thank you my Lord
Whatever i am now
It is by your grace
Many are dying
Many are perishing
Whatever i am now
It is by your grace.
Just watch or listen to radio and TV, you will appreciate the little you have. There are children dying of hunger and disease. I want to encourage you today to give. We are all like struggling to get a career going, be it at work or in business etc but we just need to pause to take a look at those that do not have anything. I heard a story yday! Someone said he was freezing in the snow at the bus stop. He had just relocated and was going to work but didn't have a jacket. Someone saw him, ran home to get an extra jacket he had, and came back to the bus stop to give it to him.
Moral of the story? Whatever little it may be. We ought to help our neighbour. Life right now can be so consuming with bills, school fees, mortgages, little things like bus fair or what you desire to own, whatever responsibility it may be; let's remember to reach out with the little we have.
We are currently on a 12 day fast in my church (Dec1- Dec12) for every month of the year in 2008. 2008 is going to be a year full of extra blessings by the grace of God. This is the time to deal with issues in prayer and to wait on God and seek His face concerning what to do and what not to do for 2008. If you're not saved this is the time to ask Jesus into your life or if you're saved and maybe you need to rededicate your life to Him please do, cos the salvation is pertinent to the fasting and prayer. Everything I prayed for last year concerning my personal life this year, God accomplished in 2007. I will encourage you to do it this year.
Each day start you can start your fasting at midnight and then break at 3pm the following day. Those who can take it till 6pm should. It's day 3 already (sorry i posted late) (sorry i posted late) but you can continue. So today we're praying for March 2008. Pray throughout the day whenever you can till you break. The Holy Spirit will guide you.
