LONG OVERDUE

I am long overdue for an update abi? So sorry my darling blogikins. I did miss you but for some reason i was too tired and filled with worldly activities to visit.

But i am here now so forgive?

Come on stop sulking.

Please.

Is that a smile i see?

Come on.

That's it.

There.

Now we are friends again i don't know where to begin.

My darling Angelfish is getting married tomorrow. Imagine i ain't going. The notice was way too short. I remember promising to assist her down the aisle way back in 1994. We had on these cute green check dresses on and were standing at the back of SS1 block. I laugh when i remember we were the same height then. She stopped growing then while i went on to acquire a whole foot. lol.

Anyways i will not let that weigh me down. She knows i love her and would be there if i could get a week off work to travel.

I just discovered this brand new hip christian radio station online. They are bad!! You should check them out too. It's THE HOUSE FM.

Ohh yeah and also i am so in love with the Group 1 crew right now. Video below.

I really cant remember what gist has happened since we last spoke.

Ohh yeah i am gonna be a Chief Brides maid next year to my babe Mickey. That ain't her name but she's just as cute. I am using her wedding as training wheels (She knows and doesn't mind).

The kinda things i am learning sha. I just might elope. Wedding too cost o!!

Will you believe i am the one with the bridezilla tendencies? Not Mickey?

Thank Jehovah, Mickey has the patience of a saint and the passion of Diva Von Teese (I don't know how that works out but hey she rocks that way).

Before i forget. All that jihad oshi happening back home and i heard from BBC? I am so happy the government for once decided not to turn a blind eye as usual and took action. We gotta nip that kain thing in the bud fast before it festers and grows.

For all of those who lost someone, May The Holy Spirit comfort you.

As i was typing my blogger page started to misbehave. pshew. Now i have lost my train of thought.

Back to random stuff then. How come my facebook privacy settings are on the highest and people i have no mutual friends with still manage to send me friend requests? I don't accept friend requests from strange married men!! Kai!! Them wan put me for trouble abi?

Ohhh Train back. I joined Twitter. What for?

Na Lightup Nigeria o!!

But any effect yet? Uhhhh i don't fink so?

Well you never know. Miracles can happen.

Darn it is 6.13pm. i am supposed to be doing my timesheet for the week and getting my ass home. Tata!!

Ohh and my birthday is on the 12th of august. Stop by for some cake will you? RocNaija i am saving you a piece!! Ohh and a piece for our in-house activist solomonsydelle.

The mystery of JAHDIEL.

As i was playing on youttube as i seem to be doing these days, i came across a really cool video by a naija chick. Apart from the fact that she is based in Ikeja and she did praise and worship at THE EXPERIENCE 2008,i can find anything on her. Anyone know anything? Anyways i posted the said video below. Toodles!!

Jahdiel - Heritage



Found more!! I feel like an international gbeborun at this point. lol!! So here it is.

Grace Okoduwa, popularly known as Jahdiel, is a Nigerian gospel musician. Jahdiel is a Hebrew word of a Greek origin belonging to the Manasseh family according to Bible history. Jahdiel actually means ‘Jehovah gives joy’ or ‘Jehovah makes me rejoice’.

She started singing as young as five when she joined her church's choir and started playing the piano/keyboard at thirteen. She attended Aunty Ayo primary and secondary schools and she was senior prefect in her final year.

SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE

I was listening to casting crowns and i got thinking. The song kinda went on about people being caught in the middle and gave different examples like

• Fearless warriors in a picket fence,
  
• reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
• Deep water faith in the shallow end and we are caught in the middle.
• With eyes wide open to the differences, the God we want and the God who is. But will we trade our dreams for His or are we caught in the middle?
  

Well this took me immediately to a dream i had once. A woman dumped her child in a dumpster and the child was found. There was this discussion on how to approach her nicely and say stuff like we found your missing child, please take better care of him, watch over him well, yada yada yah.

Thinking about it now? That was just plain BS. Where do we draw the line between standing for our beliefs and being diplomatic. The babe did wrong!!! We could say stuff like:

• This time we wont burn you alive but if anything happens to this kid we will be back.
• We are calling the police to haul her wicked heart to jail.
• Get her counselling.
  

Loads of things could be done different ways but in trying to preserve peace and be 'politically correct' we are all becoming a bunch of .........

When did it become a sin to say a black man is black and a white man is white? When did it become okay for people of the same race to call each other a name but it becomes an insult when another races use it.?

Frankly at the risk of sounding bad, i would say that the nickname i have for one of my friends is golly. I always used it since i was a kid. Now i hear a woman using it on BBC has committed a mortal sin. What?

Don't we have enough things to worry about with life and the economy and health and kids and ....................................so many things?

Why not worry about job creation before jobless graduates become highway robbers. Don't they know idle hands are the devils workshop?

Well in the middle of my rant that doesn't seem to have a direction, what i am trying to say is people should have beliefs and stick to them. If we are Christians, by our behaviour and lifestyle, we would be identifiable.

Sometimes i see some Muslims (peaceful worshiping ones) i know personally that have so much faith and conviction in their beliefs and mode of worship and wander why we Christians are content to be coasting along.

How do we want God to give his all to us if we ration our lives to him? Doesn't seem fair now does it?
How do you commit your life to Jesus and then deny him in public either by your lips or lifestyle? I am not squeaky clean on this and i don't claim it to be easy but anything worth getting never is. It is a continuous decision you make to take a path and stick to it.

There is a difference between being tolerant and foolish. Last thing on my mind was some of the things casting crowns said.

• Somewhere between the wrong and the right
• Somewhere between my faith and my plans
• Somewhere between the safety of the boat and the crashing waves
• Somewhere between who I was and who You're making me

Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me
Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control?

By the way i am in the middle of exercise or not, diet or not. Somehow i expected to loose weight just by thinking. Guess what? It didn't happen so here i am getting onto the difficult painful road of getting fit.






And not to forget, my band of the moment, DAUGHTRY and the African Children Choir singing 'HOME'.
