That was me to my hubby after we spent Valentine’s Day watching TV in our living room! BUT, I LOVE OUR BORING LIFE! Wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world! I LOVE OUR FAMILY, BOO! Forever us! ‘Til death do us part! We ended up watching a TV evangelist here in Nigeria, T.B. Joshua, …

I said to my friend, Danny, last night. She lives in the Bahamas and I’m in Nigeria, but God figured out a way to connect us over a year ago and looking back from where I was when I first connected with her, to the person she has helped me to become, all I can …

Was my very surprising God wink yesterday! I tried downloading the latest RobCast by Rob Bell on iTunes, when for some reason it refused to download and the last episode I started listening to maybe a week or so ago kept playing instead.

I attended a parent/teacher coffee morning at the kids’ school and I bragged to everyone on our well my daughters, Ember and Julie, are doing.

Was a comment I loved yesterday. I hope you’re getting this important message that God is our Partner in every aspect of our lives. I got a chance on Saturday to have some time with a 22-year-old young lady who reads my blog posts and she made me so happy. As she fought to hold …
Ain’t that the truth! From one to the next, it seems as if negativity can come at us from every direction. Here’s the trick: WE MUST KEEP OUR EYES FIXED ON GOD That’s the super big challenge of our lives. No matter the negativity that comes our way, we have to pause and ask God, …
I said to someone yesterday. It was a challenge that came up where once again God proved He’s my faithful Helper and Partner. I did what I always write about. I paid attention to my feelings/gut/spirit/intuition as to what God would have me to do. Ideas came to mind and I followed the ones I …
