I am a proud aunt!

Studies have shown that i am the awesome one amongst my sisters. So i am that aunt, the awesome one whom my brand new nephew will get his awesomeness from *picks up shades of awesomeness*

I cannot believe how much love i have  for the little kangaroo and I haven’t met him yet! Welcome to the world baby Roo, I cannot wait to meet and smother you with kisses and become your favorite aunty. Yes, I will shamelessly bribe my way to that position and not even care. 

You, my baby Roo are blessed. You are of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood and a holy nation. The Lord will keep you and shower you with the blessings of Abraham. You will live to fulfill the number of your days in the land of the living. 

You will not bring shame to your parents, you will be a source of joy and pride to the entire family. like David, you will be a man after God’s heart. 

You will rise to God's grace every day in Jesus name.

Keep being cute for me till i come over to see you; with all of my new aunt awesomeness of course!

I love you Derik Shadrach aka Roo.

 "Melodies From Heaven"

Melodies from Heaven
Rain down on me
Rain down on me

Melodies from Heaven
Rain down on me
Rain down on me

Take me in Your arms and hold me close
Rain down on me
Rain down on me

Fill me with Your precious Holy Ghost
Rain down on me
Rain down on me

Melodies from Heaven
Rain down on me
Rain down on me

Melodies from Heaven
Rain down on me
Rain down on me

Take me in Your arms and hold me close
Rain down on me
Rain down on me

Fill me with Your precious Holy Ghost
Rain down on me
Rain down on me

Rain, rain down on me
Let, let, let, let, let it fall on me

Melodies from Heaven, melodies from Heaven
Melodies from Heaven, melodies from Heaven

Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Rain down on me

Full disclosure or nah?

 

This topic trended on twitter recently and a good number of tweeps were totally against full disclosure of one's not so pretty past in relationships (as what you don’t know won’t hurt you), some were for partial disclosure (choose what to reveal and when) and others were all for full disclosure (take me as I am). 

Got me thinking and I am all for full disclosure even when I know such a move could come back and bite me. I believe it is better for a partner to accept me for who I am and what I have done or passed through in life.

We all have done and gone through things we are not very proud of, some beyond our control - true but what if your partner finds out later on? From another source? Wouldn’t that be a bigger issue? That is my line of thought. This is why I think it is better to tell it all.

That doesn’t mean I will vomit it all first time we meet. Nope, I’ll have to like the guy enough before I open up. At the risk of being left high and dry of course and I know this scares some people. There is also the risk of being judged and the occasional reference to the past? *sigh*

So, I vote for full disclosure with wisdom (but how you decide the wisdom part is your own to sort out) The truth is, as much as we want to be true to our partners, some people do not like to carry others’ baggage. I believe that if a person really wants to be with you, s/he will stick around; no matter the weight of your baggage. Better to get dumped by someone who isn’t ready to accept me (baggage and all) anyway. 

That will just be one more frog out of the way before Prince Charming comes along.

So, what do you think? Full disclosure or nah?

Give me faith....

When i am down struggling with  my faith, all i have to do is listen to this song and i know everything is going to be just ok.

Give me Faith by Elevation Worship is one those worship songs that say it all. It reminds me that sometimes, all we have to do is ask our heavenly Father to help strengthen our faith to believe.

 Abasiifreke, this is for you.

Lyrics:

Verse:
I need You to soften my heart,
To break me apart.
I need You to open my eyes,
To see that You're shaping my life.

Pre-Chorus:
All I am,
I surrender.

Chorus:
Give me faith to trust what You say
That You're good, and Your love is great.
I'm broken inside, I give You my life.

Verse 2:
I need You to soften my heart,
To break me apart.
I need You to pierce through the dark
And cleanse every part of me.

All I am,
I surrender.

Chorus:      
Give me faith to trust what You say
That You're good, and Your love is great.
I'm broken inside, I give You my life.

Bridge:
I may be weak, but
Your Spirit's strong in me.
My flesh may fail, but
My God You never will . (repeat 2x)

Chorus:
Give me faith to trust what You say
That You're good, and Your love is great.
I'm broken inside, I give You my life.(repeat 2x)

Bridge
I may be weak, but
Your Spirit's strong in me.
My flesh may fail, but
My God You never will.(repeat 4x)

Wordless Post

End of the road for Naija....

I am definitely not a football fan (or of any sport at all) but I am sad my country is out of the world cup completion. Wouldn’t it have been nice if we made it to the finals? 

Imagine what it’d be like having the cup brought back to Nigeria. Hmmm I imagine every Nigerian would be happy, even I would be glad for my country and the players? Ah! They’d get houses, cars, more women, national honours, and bragging rights for the next 4 years.  

I never really watched a complete game because I don’t understand why I should sit for 90 minutes to watch grown men run after a ball. What exactly is the fun in that? Nah, football is not for me. But as a patriotic Naija girl, I sat through this last game against France and all I could think of was why Victor Moses’ hair looked unkept.  Nah, I don’t understand what his hair is about.

This brings me to a question I’ve been asking since the world cup started; what is going on with all them boys’ hair? Is it a taboo in the football world to carry a normal, clean hair cut? I have seen all kinds of hair styles on these people’s heads oh. A lot of them seem to love dreads, then there is the Mohawk and the funny colours? most of the styles, I don’t have names for and I am worried. I want answers please.

Ok, back to the matter, I am sorry my country lost out. Really, I am and I hope that we prepare and do better in other competitions. 

 *side bar* Dear Victor Moses, if you ever see this, I want you to know I make mean cornrows (weaving oh, didi plus igbira style join) and I will hook you up whenever you want. You are welcome.
