Great Month!

How are you doing friend?

Great I hope. Missed you oh! Been quite hectic. We thank God for this great month. We prayed about a couple of things in church yesterday including 'whatever we do that will cause us not to witness divine settlement, that God will prevent us from doing it'. It's so true oh! Sometimes we're our worst enemy. May God help us in Jesus mighty name.

I have been up to a lot. After graduation, I started looking into applications into schools for a doctorate program. Don't mind me oh! Never thought I would get to that stage but a friend in church brushed it by me and really encouraged me to go for it. I was like 'lai lai' which means never but I decided to look into it and really found nice choices. Anyhow, so I applied to one school and started the process to apply to the others but the first one came back with an admission. So... I guess I'm going for it! So that's the brief. I'm supposed to start in 2 weeks. I'm not ready and have been looking for people to psyche me up but I know the Holy Spirit will strengthen and encourage me. Apart from that the cost is outrageous but God is faithful. He will provide it.

I guess I looked at myself in 3-4 yrs which is about the amount of time it takes to complete the degree and I thot, hmmn not bad, it may just be a great booster to have at that point in time. God will see me through. His word says "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus". Phil 1:6 His word also says "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work". 2 Cor 9:8 I am holding unto every word of those scriptures honestly cos it is a lot to handle at the moment. Grace Lord, grace. It is well.

I start my new job today. Another new thing I began was going to the gym. I made it my time away runs. Time to do something I like. You know what? In our women's group in church, my Pastors's wife once or twice advised us to have time away by one's self as a woman. She said she picked a day and time of the week which was hers'. She could do anything at that time she liked e.g. shopping etc. She advised it would recharge one to be the kind of mum and wife you'd like to be. I always said I wish I could do that cos I just never had the time. Well I made that time my gym time and started it a week ago. I tell you, it really works at least for the mean time oh! I just have this energy from no where. Apart from the fact that I am healthier physically (just a lil'), I'm healthier in my mind and heart. The first time out I went to watch a movie all by myself and I was really rejuvenated. I guess it's a way of destressing.

So friend, destress oh! It can't be all, work work work or play play play. It's for those who just never have enuff alone time (i.e urself oh!). We need to balance it out. May God help us all in Jesus mighty name. Pls take time out to check out the verse of the day at the right hand side each day.
