What's new Scooby Doo??

So I haven't been here in a while...

It's nice to have something to say at least. Let me catch you up.

Well my deadlines came crashing down on me near the end of last month and usually it would be my fault with the aid of procrastination. But I'm proud/relieved to inform you that this time it wasn't!! It was actually my teacher's fault. But I shan't dwell. All I can say is pray for me because the looming results day terrifies me somewhat.

I practically drifted from my last deadline to a short term job courtesy of a runaway friend. But now that even that is over I've had some time to recoup and rest.

Now I'm sort of half mindedly looking for a new reason for people to pay me this summer and also continuing the never ending journey of self-discovery. If you DIDN'T know I was on this journey I'm somewhat surprised by you...aren't we all on this journey?? Well now you know. I am constantly trying to figure out who I am. And that is mostly because I am a different person every time I check.

I digress...

Although this summer isn't as clear cut or planned out as the last, I actually feel more confident and comforted in some ways. It probably has something to do with all the plans for the future I've been making.

The important thing is that today I am happy and I hope you're happy too. There is a lot going on in the world that should make us all depressed but happiness is a choice. And the more you realise that your happiness is your responsibility and no doesn't depend on the existence of anyone else then the more happy you become. More importantly the more you realise that there is no comparison between God's love and the love humans claim to have the happier you will feel.

God  Bless

What's new with you??

Happy New Year!!

Our generation has done it again!! We survived the end of the world. We are nothing if not persistent viral infections.

Anyway, all that aside I am happy about this New Year. Although we are only 8 days in and these 8 days haven't been complete and utter perfection, it feels dangerously close. I'm just happy for no reason and every reason.

Even as a young girl I didn't take New Year's resolutions seriously; I had a habit of breaking them all by day two. It almost felt like tradition!! This year however I have resolved a few things I plan to take seriously.

1. I've resolved to be me, regardless of what ANYONE (family, friends or otherwise. in fact anyone short of God or His mouthpiece) has to say about it.
2. I've resolved to be closer to God no matter how hard the year makes it for me.
3. I've resolved to take a closer look at my future and make more solid plans regarding a number of things, i.e. what I want to do, where I want to do it et al.
4. I've resolved to stay out of all manners of conflict.
5. I've resolved to cut off all negative energy from my life in the forms of people or things/activities that have proven to be without benefit.
6. And finally I've resolved to be happy and thankful through all of it.

all these have put quite  a smile on my face and i publicise them thus as a point of reference, so whenever I feel like my year isn't going as I think it should I can come back here.

Oh and I started reading The Songs of Songs or The Songs of Solomon from the Bible recently, and all I have to say is wow!! Poetry at it's very best. 

PS

I was in Nigeria for 2 weeks recently so when I sort myself out I should have pictures and stories to share. 

Stay Tuned!!
