16* years ago, on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon, God blessed a wonderful couple with their second daughter. Since that day, circumstances in my life have changed, there have been ups and downs, there have been great days and sad days but one thing I can say is that GOD has remained faithful. He has been with me and kept His word.
Today is about giving thanks to God, it's not about unfulfilled dreams and expectations. It's not about how close to hitting the big One (that's how my big sister refers to getting to 30)I am, it's not about issues or problems. It's about lifting up my hands and saying Thank you Jesus because not every one born on the same day as me are still here now.
Thank you Father for life, health and wealth.
Thank you Jesus for the fire that is purifying me and making me shine like gold
Thank you for my family, the way they have taught me about love and forgiveness, the way we pull together during tough times, thank you Lord
Father, I give you thanks for the friends you have given me, the confidants, the 'scaffolding', everyone that has passed through and those that have stayed on, they have all contributed in their own way. I love you people
Thank you for the friends i have made through blogging, thank you for egbons and aburos who by their talents have made me laugh, cry, go wow or just stay silent and think. You guys are so talented, keep stirring up your highest gifts.
Thank you Lord for answered prayers through the years, for "This just has to be God" testimonies
Thank you for the man who loves me, both when I'm good and not, not because he's perfect but because he's perfect for me. Thank you for our commitment to grow in our love for you and for each other
Thank you Father for the future, thank you for the vision, both written and unwritten for though it tarries, I know you'll give me the patience to wait for it for it will surely come to pass
Thank you for people who read this blog, follow, I pray that they are blessed, happy, provoked, I don't mind if they are angry or don't agree but let these words always be a seed in the hearts of people who read
Thank you, thank you, thank you, may this be my new song in this new year I'm going into. A year of gratitude, truly being grateful for all my God does and just growing in love with Him.
Thank you Lord.
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His LOVE endures FOREVER Psalm 118:1
* P.S I'm not really 16 but I'm sure you knew that already...lol!!

A season of prayer: Day 26
A Prayer for T.O.M
Father I praise you, I honour and give you thanks. This is indeed a day you have created for me to rejoice and be glad in. Father I bless and magnify your name. How many tongues can tell of your works which you have done in the midst of us. Indeed the Lord our God you are in our midst and you are MIGHTY. Eternal Rock of Ages, wonder worker, I bless and give you praise.
Daddy, I thank you for today. Today T.O.M our wonderful son, nephew, grandson, cousin e.t.c, e.t.c. is one. Today last year, we were speaking in tongues, singing, reading Bible, holding hands, giving oxygen e.t.c, e.t.c as we earnestly awaited his arrival. Today, last year I saw Big Sis in a different light (let's just leave it at that as I'm not sure I have totally recovered from the experience lol!)but Lord I thank you for your faithfulness. You came through for us that day as you always have and for that I give you praise. He came with nothing broken and nothing missing, just a handsome bobo with his cute dimples. Daddy, I thank you.
Today, he turns one, please help me forgive his mummy for taking him to NY and not allowing his crazy aunty to come and do her weird steps in her house. Daddy I thank you for as you have kept him you will continue to keep him. I prophesy that like an arrow in the hand of an archer, you will shoot him into his destiny. I plead the blood of Jesus over him at home, in the nursery, in the car, on the train, no evil shall ever come near his dwelling place in the mighty name of Jesus. I pray for his parents for grace to continue to train him in the way that he should go for when he is old he will never depart from it. I pray that your favour will rest upon him. I pray that he will grow to testify of your goodness and favour to the world. His name means, Praise God and he will live to praise you.
Father I pray that he will bring joy and happiness to his parents, I know that his future is so bright because you remain in total control. I thank you for his life, I thank you for his fineness o because it is too much. I thank you also for the fact that he can say that on his first birthday, a black man became the President of the United States of America for the first time in history. Thank you Jesus.
Happy birthday T.O.M, from your aunty (a.k.a noisemaker and kissykissy). I love you very, very much and I know we will have many more to celebrate. You are blessed and favoured by the Lord.
Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will never depart from it Proverbs 22:6
Sons are a heritage from the LORD,children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate Psalm 127:3-5

Shhh...it's my darling's birthday
My darling Rinrin
I didn't really know how to compose this, so I'll just say it as is. Today, you celebrate your birthday. Celebrate, because it is indeed a celebration. A celebration of you, the battles you have fought and overcome, the victories you have won, the testimonies you are about to start testifying about. 07/08/08 or as you will (wrongly!) write 08/07/08....whichever way it is written..the date of your birth signifies a perfection of the new beginning that God has started in your life. This year 8 appears twice just to confirm that word! I know you will begin to walk in and in a lot of ways are already walking in it though you may not be aware.
You are a sister in the true sense of the word, ever willing to listen, never judging but always saying what needs to be said! I am blessed to have you in my life. Woman of God, your desire for the high places of God is inspiring and I know that as those who wait on the Lord have their strength renewed to mount up with wings as eagles so shall your portion be in the mighty name of Jesus.
Happy birthday darling, I am still standing with you and trusting God about all He said concerning you. I am grateful to Him for how far He has brought you but even more for that place He is taking you to. Rinrin, He said He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, far above all that you can THINK or IMAGINE in your life. So, relax and REJOICE because His word will never return to Him void without accomplishing it's purpose for your life.
You are wearing new garments, garments of joy, garments of peace, garments of thanksgiving and praise, garments of victory, garments of winning. You are singing a new song, a song of thanksgiving concerning all that the Lord has done for you. You are dancing a new dance, walking a new walk, laughing a new laugh as you see that your 'Isaac' has shown up! Indeed the stone the builders rejected has turned around to become a corner stone, this is the Lord's doing it is marvellous in all our eyes.
So enjoy your day, eat some cake, HAVE FUN because a few years ago (yes it's a few...ask Methuselah!!) a miracle came into the world and creation is still in expectation for the FULL MANIFESTATION OF YOU.
You know I love you, my sister, my friend. I don't take this season of our lives for granted. I pray that I can be there for you half as much as you have for me. You are blessed. 2008 continues to be your year of UNCOMMON TESTIMONIES ni oruko Jesu.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY..Eku Ojobi (Hope I got that right!)
If you've been able to read this far...please take time to visit Rinsola's page and show her some love on her birthday.

Yo mama, it's your birthday
A strong woman
that's who you are
you have been through the fire
and the flood
and yet you have remained standing
steadfast
trusting in the Lord
for His promises never fail
A beautiful woman
that's who you are
People see you and ask
"Is that your sister?"
I frown, you smile
and we both say no
you never forget to remind them
that I'm not even your first
A funny woman
that's who you are
we always sing
"man worry, man die
man no worry, man die
so why worry"
as we burst out laughing
even when the news is not so good
An intuitive woman
that's who you are
you understand
my smile
my frown
my silence
you see beyond the words from my lips
to my heart
So today, mamaG I celebrate you. June 22nd 1958..the Lord sent one of his special ones to earth. I thank Him for preserving you, for giving you the strength to stand through all that life has thrown at you. I thank Him because I know you haven't seen anything yet. He said there shall be more glory in your latter days. He will surely take you to the place that He has shown you in Jesus name. You are blessed.
So yummy grammy, keep on rocking!
MamaG...na u biko!

Happy Birthday to....?
Welcome all,
Allright, menu, menu..help yourself to some pounded yam/egusi or jollof rice and grab a glass of juice!!!
Bon apetit! Remain blessed and highly favoured. HIP, HIP, hurray!
Welcome to a blogville first..it's a DOUBLE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!!!! for Nyemoni and Believer.
Allright, first a very happy birthday to my girl...the one and only NYEMONI!!. Today (22nd September) is her birthday (and mine..yay!) and although she will not be online, please make her feel extra special on Monday when she logs in. Anyways, i trust y'all.
Happy Birthday, my darling sis..you are adorable, beautiful, creative, delightful, fun.....inspiring, joyful, kind, lovely.....sweet, talented, understanding....and xtraordinary. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday mate.
As you add another year to your life may the Good Lord continue to enable you to increase in strength, wisdom, knowledge, favour as you grow in Him. May you always be aware of His Presence in your life as your guide through life's journey. As a leading lady of the Lord, may He grant you all you need to excel as a wife, mom, sister, daughter..on the job and in all the roles He has set out for you as you walk towards destiny. I thank God for the many more birthdays to come as He keeps you, guides you and causes His face to shine upon you. It is your day..so celebrate!!!
I'm really grateful to God for another year, that I'm still here and though sometimes things have been rough and I've made a couple of bad turns, He's still with me like He promised He would. I thank God that I'm in a different place from where I was this time last year and that His joy will continue to be my strength. I am grateful Lord for family and friends; those who have stuck with me on this journey, even when I haven't always been lovable. I'm thankful that every morning I open my eyes and I have somewhere to be and something to do. I'm thankful that even in the difficult places the Lord has held my hand and sometimes given me a piggy back ride. I'm thankful for stumbling onto a blog and entering into this seemingly new world where I have met some terrific people who encourage, inspire and motivate me, reminding me to stay strong and always stir up the gift on the inside of me. Lord, I thank you and I know that as your word has promised that as the length of my days, so shall my strength be. I have what it takes to be an OVERCOMER and I face the future knowing that as long as I allow you to lead me, I can never go wrong. I love you Lord.
Ok, so this first cake
belongs to you (ignore the name on it!!!LOL!) and all the other Man U fans out there..have a slice please. For all the others, you are not left out..help yourself to some cake.
