Faith under fire.....

Good evening people. Tonight was fun, i attended a friends birthday party and i had a blast.

Ok back to serious spiritual matters, remember this is a continuation of yesterday's topic - Holding on to faith when God......you know the rest.

Today i am focusing on 'Faith under fire"...Enjoy!!!

In James 1;2-4, the bible tells us that adversity helps develop and enhance faith, Those of us who believe that life owes us a free ride are often discontent with or non-appreciative of the finest gifts, i saw a quote somewhere which got me thinking, it said 'Easy living and abundance often produce a certain underlying weakness spiritually'...i told a friend and she totally disagrees so i guess this is up for discussion..lol

In the book it also says that a person who grows accustomed to life's good things may not be drawn naturally to the sacrifice of the cross (remember the rich guy that God told to sell his all and give to the poor then follow Him?..yes that guy)..this is so true because a lot of times in my life, when it seems like everything is going great, i still hold on to my prayer alter but compared to when i am in need of something specific(preparing for an exam, time to pay my next school fees, when i am ill e.t.c,we all get the jist i presume), its like my alter is always on fire....lol...and i am sure it happens to a lot of us...funny right? yes totally, Times like that i wonder what God is thinking.

Coming back to the topic of the night....faith under fire....remember the story of Job?..yes that kind of sums it up, don't you just wonder what planet that guy came from?. I brought up the topic of Job to my boyfriend last night and his response was funny but if you think about it ,i think hes right..he said he thinks Job was wired by God differently just for that purpose.

Thats it for tonight guys, we will pick this up tomorrow.

Good night and have a beautiful weekend people.. mu-ah

Holding on to your faith 'When God doesn't make sense'

Weird title right? thought the same thing the first time i saw a book with that title (by author- Dr James Dobson), not sure which of my girls bought it (either ogo, og or esohe) but God bless whoever did. I didn't look at the book twice until i got to a place in my life (and i am still there) when it seemed like the promises of God concerning what i am going through right now didn't make sense.

You know there are times in your life that it seems like everything is against you, even the things that you usually do or get effortlessly have now become a struggle?...yes exactly times like that and you sit and study your bible, pray, fast and praise and still God doesn't seem to be interested?

Many believers do no know that there will be times when circumstances don't add up,this aspect of the Christian faith isn't well advertised.

While reading this book i stumbled on some eye catching revelations (even if i still don't understand Gods ways)

1. The scripture tells us we lack the capacity to grasp God's infinite mind or the way He intervenes in our lives. Romans 11:33 indicates that Gods judgments are 'unsearchable' and his ways 'past finding out'.

2. Remember in Exodus 5, when God commanded Moses to appeal to pharaoh for the release of the children of Israel. moses did as he was told after which everything went wrong and the Israelites were given double potions of work, Moses had a good reason to feel God had pushed him out on a limb and then abandoned him, but if u read through the whole chapter you will realize that God had a plan which at that time didn't seem like a good one to moses.

to be continued........

Release....

I saw this poem and i hope you like it...

When you think about our lives – Screaming kids and nagging wives: 'Can't smoke here – no! not there – Your bloody fags, they drive me spare! A second bottle? drunken slob, Off your arse and get a job! You never take me for a spin – A little cruise from all the din! ' 'You're the bleedin' noise' I scream Inside my head. I only dream Of shouting out for fear of what you'd do – If I could only ball 'F*ck you! ' No, the only way that I can manage Bearing up against your visage, is Watching films with hero Arnie – While drowning in a greasy sarnie. 'Oh to be! ' I wish in sighs: Arms like his would suit me well – I'd bust the walls; escape this hell In which I only just exist; Getting through by staying pissed. Agh! the bloody screams again! And so I crack. Hang on Arnie, I'll be back… Now where's the friggin' telly? Go on Arnie, give it welly! Thunder on; it's a-okay – See how quiet she is today?

Shh....

Isn't this picture just cute?...theres something very peaceful about it right?saw it and totally fell in love,i still have quite a few, so stick around.

It wasn't a bad day but not that great either. I had fun browsing for wedding dresses online with a friend (Esohe) and saw a movie tonight too -mama duke with my boyfriend (it was just alright....don't tell,he might just not take me to see another movie anytime soon so shh).

Ok first,i need an English tutor to make this blog thingy work....any volunteers?...Its just the second blog and i think i have a brain block,pathetic right?..i know!!!

Tonight i will just write a little bit more about myself......i am a Christian (love the Lord), i love to sleep..lol,love to shop (when i can afford to),i know a couple of people will raise their eyebrows but i really don't shop as much as they think i do,window shopping?...definitely enjoy that.

I have being through quite a number of schools.....two primary schools,one high school and two colleges so far (ok that isn't alot is it?).

I know this is supposed to be a blog not a diary but i am getting there,just not sure what exactly i want to blog about but i will keep you posted as time goes on.

Got to go, I need my beauty sleep.....see you tomorrow....ciao

Day 1.....3.27am

Good morning, this is kind of weird because i don't think anyone will read this (i hope someone does).The First blog isn't supposed to be all that but i am keeping my fingers crossed.

This is something my friends either Ogochukwu Ben or Anike Vee will do, definitely not me but i saw a movie tonight for like the third time.....THE BUCKET LIST, and i just realized that we all seem preoccupied by the lives we live and don't bother wanting more so tonight i decided to write my own bucket list which i will reveal soon.

A friend asked me tonight what i have always wanted to do...and guess what?...i didn't have an answer because i just never thought of doing anything apart from being a good wife,mum and a medical doctor (by the way,i am in med school)...thats another thing,MED SCHOOL?? jeez what the hell was i thinking when i filled my first Jamb form (i filled two of that in my day, wasn't exactly the most brilliant one around).

I have loads of friends,trust me i am not being sarcastic,i actually do so i am hoping they read this or else...they might just end up........like i can do anything....thats another thing,i am a people pleaser,sad right?yea yea i have been told..

I think thats it for now....see you tomorrow...ciao
