True tho.words can hurt.but since we both know pple won’t stop talking,how abt getting pple to train themselves into pple who words like dat won’t even give dem cause to worry?nice write up tho.thumbs up on d blog.
Thanks Tierrah and Teggie.#smiles…
@Tierrah,people will always talk and d truth too is some of them don’t even know when they do it,not everyone know d power their tongues hold.to such,we must educate.both education on having a tough skin and checking our words should go hand in hand though,for maximum effect..lol
9c post,smtin lyk dis happnd 2 me 2.met dis tall handsome guy,he cud speak well buh he had mouth odour n his teeth wasn’t 9c @ all.wats wit dese fyn guys n mouth odour?is nt brushn dia mouth d new in tin?
Exactly u spoke my mind..sunday sermon in church was centerd on this..in this era of the new covenant,God has given us easy access to him,the weapon of communion and prayer are tools he provided to hear frm him…the man of God who deliverd a mesage to jeroboam was smiten to death becos he preferd to listen to the propthet at the expense of God who gave him the instruction..nice piece dear!
Exactly u spoke my mind..sunday sermon in church was centerd on this..in this era of the new covenant,God has given us easy access to him,the weapon of communion and prayer are tools he provided to hear frm him…the man of God who deliverd a mesage to jeroboam was smiten to death by a lion becos he preferd to listen to the propthet at the expense of God who gave him the instruction 1kings 13:1-25..nice piece dear!
Thanks Ceo..I wish I know abt Jeroboam own,I for add am 2d post sef,hehehe..lemme go check it out 4myself.,d msg is passed across I hope.we will be better Christians if we all know God for ourselves.God grant us more grace,Amen.
Nice work dear.words hurt and most people enjoy using them since words seem to be the cheapest destructive weapon.We just gotta always put on our strongest shield;self confidence,strong will and faith in God.Thumbs up dear!!
So true.most people do not care abt their personal relationship with God they rather depend on others who av built their relationship with God and that is why they are pushed around and don’t even know or care to know d truth from the lie…may God help us all.thumbs up dear
Most Women(95percent)are complicated and confused beings who do not even understand themselves or know what they want.they cry 4 nice guys but run with d bad guy bcuz they dnt know what they want so d simple solution is,define urself.as a lady,understand urself first,know what u want in life that way,u’ll know who u shld stick with instead of test running any guy that comes ur way.most importantly,we shld work on our personal relationship with God,put God first b4 any man.Let God be ur guard.** pls note however that d fact that a lady prays 4 a nice guy does not mean she is praying 4 a fool.Most of us want a man,sm1 who can truly be d head and at d same time very nice and understanding not a puppet so to those ‘crazy in love’ guys out there,yeah love us but dnt loose ur dignity and ego as a man.love us but we dnt want u to be our puppet.Be d man who loves but can also be in charge as a man.
Rubbish!!!Total disgrace to womanhood!!yeye people.Any woman that still believes she needs a man to be successful needs to be prayed 4,serious deliverance!!Be successful and men ur class will come 4 u after all even marriage is vanity.the whole importance they attach to marriage sef makes me wonder if having a husband is an automatic visa to heaven.
I sense a kindred spirit btw us @Ufuoma..I suspect these women do not have anytin doing with their hands,are not exposed or the culture has sunk so deep into their consciousness that they flow with it.its almost the same in Naija.wen u get to 20 the only prayer u get is for a husband.I am not saying its bad but there are other things that should be prayed for too in a lady’s life,there are other priorities,d importance given to marriage alone is alarming!
@Sandra,d truth is even those you think know themselves and carry themselves with dignity have one ragmuffin of a boyfriend dat treats them like trash and they don’t want to leave.its a puzzle to me for real..u r right there,women want a man that can be in charge as much as he loves them too,maybe that’s where d love of bad guys stem from.the bad guys lord it over them and takes charge and control of their lives but its always done in excess.where does d love still arise from? *me sef I don’t know*
Ah,na d learned dey guilty pass sef.their families and friends attack dem evry time with marriage talks and whether educated or not,d desperation in these ladies nor be here.
*Smiles*glad u found d answer!never loose ur self confidence cuz if u do,u’ll not just be disappointing ur frnds and those who look up to u but u’ll aslo be disappointing ur maker who took time to create a wonder,intelligent and golden hearted u.
Awww,thanks Ufuoma.yes,I can’t afford to fail,lots of peeps are looking up to me,God Himself is waiting to see what I will do with the talents he has given me.I only pray for grace,Amen!
God always proves Himself faithful to His children dat are ready 2 put d totality of their trust in Him. He wants us 2 believe in Him in d face of impossibilities. He’s lukin 4 dthose who will trust Him foolishly, jst lyk a child; those who will drop their challenges @ His feet n leave dem der. God does things beyond d human understanding, n if we r ready to trust Him completely, He will not let us down. God is awesome!
no woman rilly wants to stay single… not afta u’ve had a feel of being wit a companion like the ladies on the news. The truth is , if u v feelings den somday u ‘ll nid som1 to call ur own. dem ladies wanting husbands is never wrong… as “marriage is a sacred n a very special union”. d problem is that no body wants to b a liabilty to no 1 again cos d economy is not friendly as it used 2. der r husbands everywer buh not all husbands av d capacity n means to kip a home running, so staying single until one is redi is kinda d rite tin to du. To som comments categorizing dem ladies as rubbish,yeye ,even laziness, and stuffs like dat… this is the tin… their major problem is loneliness and not d odas like som pips mite conclude, for if a crucial study is made on dese ladies u’ll find at dat loneliness has eaten deep into dia marrows…. for a lonely world which in dis case “a life wit @ a patna” to even sought opinion frm is a frustating n empty world . Even d “independent ladies” in their twenties n above will get to a point wen they jst cant stay alone buh wil nid som1 to call dia own n possibly dia husbands, unless u wish to join the sisterhood or b like d celebrity “oprah” who i beliv has a patna to cuddle r wen she feels lonely…, then plz pray 4 those ladies n not criticize dem as u r not in dia shoes.
@etohBrave,yes marriage is a good thing,it is desperation for it that’s wrong.it has caused many ladies to make wrong decisions.and the truth is marriage doesn’t cure loneliness,u av to be complete on ur own to be able to be in another persons life.marriage gives companionship but d truth is,it cannot fill d void inside u,it is wen u are a wholesome individual that u can provide companionship to another…we are just saying,weda u want to get married or not,let it be 4d ryt reasons,desperation and unnecessary rush has never done anyone any good
@Mindblowing,I will agree with you that it is relative because some ladies will swear that they never felt that anytin was amiss.so where was the sixth sense then?I wonder…
Beautiful piece…the fact that we’re still here is proof that something better awaits us. for those that try to beat us down, put us down and keep us down, like the proverbial mule, all we have to do is shake off the dust and stand on it till we rise to the top.
Thanks Femmetotale..u r absolutely right,the only thing good we can use the bad experiences for are platforms to take us to the glorious future…we are still here and a wonderful life ahead awaits!
Wow, Frances you are such an amazing writer (we need more writers like you). Ironically, I just finished writing something similar. Keep up the good work x
Yours Truly,thanks so much.#more grace for us all#..love ur blog too and I followed u on twitter but it seems u are not active there?
@Fomeh,thanks,S.O.U.T! Greater things ahead!
Ladies, wake up and stop playing the blame game. Instead of blaming the government for all your problems, do something about it. You have a brain and your limbs are still intact! So, what are you waiting for?
Wao….keep it up girl.. Trying to lose weight too….I hv weighed 75kg for a very long time and I wanna loss 10kg..but it has bin difficult…do u go.to the gym???? Pls….hw did u lose the 18kg..and wat was ur initial weight.. Pls reply me thru mail.. Tanks….and GOd bless.
Wow, you are such an inspiration, Frances. My cousin is trying to lose weight atm and I’ll show her this post to encourage her. Can she do it? Yes, she can
thanks Ezaza..but I am afraid,dat response is too soft for mumsi. O,I need something stronger.she nor go gree hear dat one,u knw they think they know d best thing for us…
Joan,I don’t know if its a joke sef o,mumsi can say dis.u r sayin wat she said o,u say physical appearance doesn’t matter and I knw d guy nor b am bt wat if dis is my very own? R u saying I shud let him go? Abeg o.
Thanks 4ur wishes.
Jokes aside..I need a sincere answer from u.if this guy actually proposes,no approaches u(proposing will be going too far) will u sincerely accept him even if mum or any other person has no objection.I need a sincere yes or no answer before I drop further comment.
erm, I am wondering whether you got this person’s permission to post their pix here? If I stumble on my pix on a “random” site, with this kind of post, I would not be happy. #justsaying
Jo,Thanks for your thoughtfulness as regards the picture.(I honestly didn’t avert my mind to that) and thankfully,I don’t think that’s a real person per say(with the source I got it from,it can’t be real).there’s something called photoshop&with face warp,u can set,reset and distort features on a face to give you what you want.#just saying#
I do appreciate your visiting my “random site” though.thanks a lot.
@Sandie,sincere answer? If he approaches me,no.but if I have grown to know him and he has good inner qualities and I am sure he is good for me as a husband,yes(but it sure will take d grace of God sha,afterall who nor like fine thing?)
I’ve given u my answer,oya comment further
Av seen d ‘no’ I wanna see..the world is d way it is..ur physical look matters a lot.pls mention any unsual looking married man now that actually got married befored he became famous or popular..though it is adviced that all d qualities one wants in a man shld not all b captioned and based on his physical looks but his character but d truth is u can only get to know his character if his physical look is acceptable or manageable 2 u..in summary,if u look ‘somehow’ or ‘unusaul’concentrate on being famous,wealthy and successful b4 u think of marrying a ‘normal looking gal’ cuz that is d only time her love can be blind to ur unusual looks.harsh as it may seem(since its not d ‘victims’ fault that he was born with such physiacl challanges,hehehe)but it is d way it is..I totally support ur mum except d guy is has rich as bill gate,as famous as obama and as godly as pastor E.A Adeboye(heheheheheh)
Oh,Sandie,your statement is worst than mumsi’s own ooo!
U do av a point,d physical attributes have to also appeal to us but if he doesn’t have that,do I then throw him away? What if his inner attributes makes him attractive in my eyes bt to d eyes of d world he’s “somehow”.shouldn’t I then listen to my own heart?
This matter nawa o.
*chuckling&stifling laughter*…Why do I have a hard time believing he’s all that@description?how come you didn’t put up a lovey-fovey pix of you both?..uh..sorry…got carried away..my two cents uh?
er..em.just talk to God to soften momma’s heart…okay?
Pity we got a judged-based-on-appearance- culture…with the minor exception here and there…God help us
Yaaaay@NLS posting to lag…Enjoy ma’am….God’s still in the business of providing….He’s got you!….
Go excel!
Ehe eh,Lizzieebunoluwa,He’s all that and more o,I couldn’t post pictures of both of us because my phone crashed and I lost all pictures I had of us together and his phone was stolen by one guy he helped(see,he is also so generous)and he didn’t want to tell the boy to replace his phone and…… So this was the only one I could find.hehehhe.
Yeah,most people(maybe even me included,I have to check myself wen I notice it) judge a person on only their physical features.sad but true cuz that’s not what really matters.
Thanks a lot,NLS will be great 4me.God is still the ultimate provider and He hasn’t changed.
And thanks for visiting my blog,I appreciate
Thanks a lot Toin.
The “famous” blog post may not be the one u think o.me sef,I didn’t believe it would be re-bc(d).u can guess sha.
Thanks for visiting my blog,visit time and time again.I’ve also been on urs severally,just haven’t commented yet.lemme follow ur blog so I can get notifications of posts as e dey hot.*smiles*
Uchenna,u r saying my “Prince charming” is disqualified? Because of what na? Head only? What abt all the wonderful qualities he has? God is watching u oo
Thanks for stopping by
Hilarious bus rides…I can relate…apparently, we both missed the heaven-circulated memo that stated a woman’s worth is only measured by her marital status…*sighs*….
To say i’m gutted at such insensitive,myopic opinions about “aged”unmarried ladies is an understatement….
In my opinion,marriage is a beautiful,God-ordained institution that admits two like-minded, similar purpose-driven persons who are committed to each other in love,honour and respect…living lives that please God, if a union doesn’t possess the aforementioned(not exhaustive in characteristics b.t.w) parameters, why intentionally set yourself up for a life of heartache, troubles and pain?…all because of societal/cultural expectations or the ticking of some biological clock… beats me!
That’s my submission dear…wishing you resplendent success in this new phase(NLS) of your life…
Cheers!
Lizzieebunoluwa!! Well said o!!
Everything thing in my heart as regards this issue that I haven’t said,u’ve said it!

Telekenesis stunts kwa? Hehe.
I believe God just works in strange ways and stranger ways still 2get d msg across,even in convos in a bus wt random strangers.
Thank u,thank u.the right one cometh indeed.
Absolutely necessary two cents.
Mine? God is not a gossip…The place of prophets should be go guide you as shepherds and confirm what God has already told you….That we not err….
God help us…
I also shared my thoughts right there,u can check it.
But I really don’t think she has a problem,thr cud b a range of issues preventing her frm getting married.including no right man yet.and if dat b d case,it doesn’t translate into something being deathly wrong her life.
All other things maybe working out well for her,bt ofcourse to society,dey mean nothing if she’s not a mrs.
She should focus on her life and leave d society alone.sofar as she knows she is on track,she shud wait and chill,if d ryt one will come as I believe he would,she shudnt rush into anytin cuz of wat pple say.
I applaud her a lot by d way,its not easy to stand firm and not be swayed by human opinions bt I am assuming her man hasn’t come and if not,she shud wait,like d Bible says,”though it tarries,at d appointed time,it will come”(thr cud b other reasons y she isn’t yet married and if d sibling dat wrote dat cares so much abt it,she shud talk 2her sis abt it,in a caring way and not in condemnation dat she’s not married yet(dats so silly to me by d way,relegating women 2d background cuz dey r not mrs.)
Pls check my comment thr 4wat I really think,d above I am writing now r rambling thoughts,am in a haste to go out 4 day 2of registration.
Btw,my next post should be on “while you wait”
*thinking.*
Well said dear…I couldn’t agree more…
Will go check on the post for your comment…uh,how has the registration process been so far?be sure and share pictures with us jor…
I’ll hold my breath (just not for long o) for that sequel post…

Wonder wonder wonder!!! Wish all ladies think like this, God and man would ve rested after creating the woman. Seriously…. Wish all mothers advice their daughters thia way… Every man will indeed be blessed. God bless the writer.
Thanks Chi Chi.unfortunately,the desperado craze 4a man has taken over most women 2day,forgetting d fact dat d season 4singlehood is just passing by wt nothing being achieved and by d time they go into d marriage “kpa kpa”,they go in half baked.
I wish too that Ladies will turn their thinkn around.
Thanks 4stopping by
lol! ok. i have stopped laughing o! I have a fiction blog and i would like to reblog your post cos as funny and impossible (per people’s comment) as this sounds,thousands of ladies have issues like this. so do i have you permission?
check out the blog http://www.ibilivinfiction.wordpress.com
I can’t even explain how good it feels to see that this is coming from a single lady cos when I talk it will look like I am NOT in their shoes so I can’t feel it.
Just work on being the very best taht you can. Loneliness is not an absence of affection, it is an absence of direction and purpose so I always say, Get a vision first for your life before you look for a patner for life. simples.
And yes Hammond, ah I read her books plenty eh. For a single woman she sure has a lot of wisdom for even married people. o live her. Nice post hon
E’
“Loneliness is not an absence of
affection, it is an absence of direction
and purpose so I always say, Get a vision
first for your life before you look for a
patner for life. simples”….on point E!
I go steal wetin u write so,nor surprise 2see am somewhere with my name on it.true talk!
Michelle Hammond isn’t alone in d wisdom thing,u also have much wisdom bcuz u r walking in God’s purpose for ur life.dats wat happens when we maximise the essence of the season we r in and work on being d very best we can.
Thanks a lot for stopping by and commenting.body dey do me tinini tenene.lols
Lol
Nne first congrats on NLS jare. I know Law school is slaying but you will survivewella jare.
As for the man, enjoy ooo. Sofar he is handsome to you, THE END!!!
Ah,amen o,I will survive.
And your comment is the only one that’s pointing me in a reasonable direction.all d rest are laughing at me.lol…thanks for stopping by E.
Oh those bus rides where people be press P like their lives depend on it.
I never join. I just laugh. Ignorance is too rife and the only thing worse is their unshaken belief in their ignorance.
Biko enjoy NLS
Muah
E’
U r right o E.d unshaken belief in their own ignorance amazes me! I go into stunned silence most times.
This one did mk d bus lively and made d journey go faster(talking does dat)
Biko,I need help o,how I wan tk locate DCC? Sunday go soon reach and I nor get church 2go.is it far frm law school?
Oh my word!…This is too real!..dripping with thought-provoking wisdom…this post rocks on many counts Frances.
I feel like copying and pasting it on the brains,hearts and minds of every lady created by God….it would solve many challenges in more ways than one…
This is my thrust; know it or not,the God-ordained place of the woman (either in the world or a man’s life) is both indisputable and indispensable….The need for conscious,committed preparation for that place/role can thus not be over-emphasized.
May God help us
Thanks for sharing dear…
Looking out for the post on NLS….pele dear…God’s got you…and He is enough!
Blessings!
Post on NLs is coming up and oncoming.its loading.hehe.
Thanks for ur comment Lizziee,u can’t imagine how happy I was to see dis comment.u’ll understand when u see d NLS post.

Am I?…hehehe…s̶o̶m̶e̶b̶o̶d̶y̶’̶s̶ ̶h̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶s̶w̶e̶l̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶
Lol..I kid…I think i’m just blessed with access to the most awesome sources of wisdom resource.(The Bible and other materials)…plus being an old soul seals the deal..*grins*
So wonder no more my dear…
I’m glad you were glad@my comment…lol..i’m still here..aren’t I?@upcoming NLS post …
Amen to your prayer…
P.s;this your compliment eh, is the best thing since malt&plantain chips…hehehe…(consumer discretion is advised)
That’s my caveat right there..don’t try it Frances…you’ve been warned…lol…I should frame this compliment .its an apt self-worth reminder.
#okbye…

It sounded then like I was sent to the dungeon! lol. Keep it up girl! your blog really lightens moods.enjoy. http://www.chavivas.blogspot.com
Ok, wow…ur post really made me feel nostalgic. Made me remember my own days in NLS Abuja. The excitement was nearly doused by the stress of registration and settling in. It’s like the devil sets up stumbling blocks in ur way to steal ur joy. Unfortunately God always has a way of turning everything around to put a smile on ur face in the end. Thank God urs ended in favour. Have a splendid year in NLS and it will surely end in a bigger testimony!
NB: I still wonder why anybody will choose NLS Lagos over abuja…Abuja is still the best any day anytime 😀 😉
@Femmetotale,Amen o,God will continue to turn everything around for my good.
And yay! U are a lawyer? I didn’t know.that’s really nice!
Btw,thrz nothing in Abj abeg,its just comfy rooms they have and we have that here too.Lagos is where the real ish for law school goes on jare!…hehe.
Hmmm, On point sis! God does things for a greater good! He doesn’t delight in our suffering but he allows somethings ,so that he can bring utmost good out of it. May God bless you superbly. How law school? love. http://www.chavivas.blogspot.com
Yes o Tosin,everything dat happens 2us(including tough times) ultimately turns around for our greater good when we understand why.
Law school is going well,things have cooled down now.dis week’s induction and lectures start next week.God dey.
Thanks a lot for stopping by.xoxo
Wow! How dare you tread where most blogs fear! Girls I wish I could hi-5 you. You just preached the gospel! Pls, let’s drop the Peruvian hair/latest breakup/who slapped who on scandal and fill our brains with real things!! You and I are so alike it’s freaky! When my mom would take me b my siblings textbook shopping, I would borrow there Macmillan and other reading books and first digest it before school even began! I would read as far as into secondary school books! There is nothing better than a rainy day and a good book and completed chores!! Wow! Love this post!

Dis is being prudent cause am like dat too! 😉 actually, I used 2 love buying bottled water in school too (not 2 form high class like oda unilag babes oo) buh bcos its easier 2 maintain nd carry around if I don’t finish it buh I discovered dah I drink water countless times a day and buying bottled water dose number of times was doing things 2 ma allowee oo not 2 mention d fact dat I don’t end up drinking d water left in d bottle sef cos one very thirsty friend would collect d bottle, 4 longer lasting pocket money asa unilag girl, its pure water all d way oo!! This isn’t poverty mentality or stinginess, wen I start working, it would be bottled water ;).
@the strongest link,I certainly will love to think am being smart and sensible too.thanks for concurring*smiles*
Thanks for visiting and commenting also.
My babe, abeg leave them make them talk. It isn’t poverty mentality oo.. When time comes you have enough to buy 100 bottle water a day and it won’t even be notice on ur income. Now is the time to build that time. If I buy bottle water, I hardly finish it, that water will follow me home cos I don’t drink too water. I even think that am wasting the money so I decide to be buying 10 naira water(drink and throw away shekina!) But another thing be say mk u nor use am dirty our country ooo(put that for mind). I don talk ooo.. Carry on babe, u too much!
Nelz,Lmao at “nor use am dirty our country”.I can assure u that I dispose of it properly.
“Now is the time to build d income dat won’t feel a dent not withstanding bottled water or not.you are so right,God help us all.
Thanks babe 4visiting my site,carry on!
It’s being prudent dear. I’ll take pure water over bottled water any day. Manage your student allowee now, when you can afford the bottled water without much calculations of its dent on your finance, then you know you can totally go for it. I’m a student too, team pure water all the wayy!!!
my own even fit worse pass your own, no be liar i prefer better good pure water pass bottled water sef, cos most bottled water get this slight taste of salt or something way i no just know way no dey quench my taste. so me na pure water all the way.
and for those people way they call you stingy, na dem put money for your pocket abi you they work for there farmland? abeg everybody know where e dey pain am pass.
1+the one.u r very right,I’d never do that.that’s why its super cool that as far as I don’t drink the tap water but drink the socalled “refined” pure/bottled water,am good.
Socalled refined cuz na only God dey protect,we can’t tell if they are really refined.
And yes,vi nor be for student oo.
Thanks for stopping by.*smiles*
Wow! Great post!!!Praise God. I’m flattered and can say I am more than happily married to a true man of God ( plus he’s Hawt! LOL)! but it wasn’t easy. I had to relinquish my own notions and trust the word of God. I encourage single ladies not to give up or settle for earthly stereotypes of what a man is. Also deep calleth unto deep! Ask yourself, would a true man want you? You need to make yourself the kind of woman a true man would want.
Thanks inthe.
“Deep calleth unto deep” same words that were said in the singles brkfast seminar I attended today.indeed what you are,you attract.
And hmm,my own go hawt pass ur own ooo!lol.
Thanks again!
And don’t be flattered o,God is using u to bless us and all I can say is God bless u more and more.thank u
thanks a lot for this post! I guess God wanted me to read this, and that’s why I stumbled on your blog today. I’ve been having these ‘struggles’ too, and have had several men & ladies tell me my expectations are unrealistic. Just yesterday a married christian brother, who was supposed to be ‘advising’ me about this issue started making advances. Said I’m putting him off because I’m holding on to childish ideas about marriage. This morning I decided to just forget about marriage for a while, cos I was almost convinced the kind of man I want doesn’t exist. well, I’m encouraged by the fact that I’m not the only one waiting on God for such a man.
Wow! Ese,I am so glad u were encouraged by this.
The truth is,u r not alone,its not easy but stand firm on the word and not on what the world says.the word is ever true and always works.From the real examples I sited,u’ll see that ur “childish expectations” are not childish at all.they are some1 else’s reality,so why on earth can’t it be ur own reality too?
Don’t worry at all dear,if u dare to believe it,God will bring it.*hugs*
I believe there should be balance. The key will always be the heart, soul and spirit of a person. To the mature Christian I say the manner of dress should be respectful where we do not become a stumbling block or distraction to others attending service
Lol… 9ja!!!! Every tribe thinks it’s better than the next. It’s in our blood! I think our generation is better than our parents cuz I see a lot of inter-tribal marriages.
THE LORD IS GOOD , HIS MERCIES ENDURES FOREVER, PRAISE BE HIS NAME FOREVER.
WHEN I THINK OF THE GOODNESS OF JESUS AND ALL HE HAS DONE FOR ME-ALL MY HEART CAN SAY IS TO SAY THANK YOU LORD AND SHOUT HALLELUYAH.
SINCERELY SPEAKING, GOD IS SO GOOD.
TESTIMONIES UPON TESTIMONIES-THOUGH THE DEVIL TRIED BUT AS ALWAYS HE LOSES AND FAILS WHOLLY.
THANK YOU JESUS IS ALL MY HEART CAN SAY
Hi dear, I feel your pain when you talk about law school stress. Pele!
Regarding the tribe thing, God go help us o! The discrimination is mostly with the older generation. But I believe that as long as he is a Christian ,genuine one o! and if God gives two of us the go sign, am good to go.
Ah,thank u Tosin,God dey,we will survive and conquer this NLS year.
The problem is both wt old and young generation o.a friend pinged me after reading this post and admitted that he is a tribalist and even gave me reasons,one of which is in my post.I just sighed.
Am with u on that one too,am good to go if all u listed are there,tribe is really of no consequence to me…
Suceesfull mariages are never and wud never anchor on
tribalistic lines…love,understandin,compatibility are most basics…marryin frm ur tribe is not a guarantee tht he or she is ur dream man or woman…afterall wen u see a man and get atractd to him,u dnt see d name of the state he is frm engraved on his forehead?its his cariage or poise dt endears u to him,not his tongue or the logo of the state crested in his forehead.my mum just re echoed same to me wen last we spoke abt me getin married to a gal frm ma place.,I jokinly told her am bring a yoruba woman to d house,she paused and told me not to…buh dts her own opinion..I can get maried to a bisi,a ngozi or even a imagbong…love,understandin r most paramount,not the ancient mantra of marryin frm ur tribe .nice piece francie,,lawskul has nt given me tym to patronise ur wrks lately..buh thumbs up dear!
Thanks Martha.
I pray it uplifts people indeed,we are all too unique and perfect in the eyes of our sugar daddy(in the words of E) that created us for us to have any business with low self-esteem…
Ah,the Ceo just said it all..Ngozi,imagbong o,tejiri o,doesn’t matter,all dat matters is all u’ve listed out.
Btw,biko mk our mumsi’s and grand dads stop all dis tribe talk o,its abt dat time.
I get d Law skul thing more than u dear,remembr Law na home of stress? But we’ll conquer,God dey!
Thanks for coming by dearie,much love!
Hmm,thanks Bissy for reading this wonderful post(in ur words) but err,this wonderful post isn’t meant to spark a debate for weavons and all o,because if dat starts now,e nor go end.
I realise that some pple will tell u even jewelry is bad and adding artificial hair extensions is a sin but on the other hand, I have also seen fab ladies that dress well and make their hair but are still totally infused with the Spirit of God in the inside.
I can’t say what’s wrong and what’s right,what I’ll say is read what the Bible says as regards dressing for women and pray that the Holy Spirit reveals what it really means to u.
Hair extensions or not sha,we are perfect and beautiful in the sight of our creator.
Thanks dear for stopping by
Wow ! this is awesome . I really bless God for your life Frances. Are you sure you don’t want to trade law for writing? Cos I think writing is really your passion. Keep it coming dear ,more grease.
PS: Thanks a lot for stopping over often @Chavivas. Much love
Ah Tosin eh,I cannot trade law for writing o,after all this stress? Kai!
I do love the law too but I can never say never.As God wills,I’ll go.
Thanks 4coming on here too,more grease to us both and yes,I love chavivas na,so I must visit.*smiles*
Big Amen to this . This is very refreshing and truly encouraging ,even in our weakness, God’s strengths is revealed. for someone like me who loves to be in control, its easy for me to think i can achieve things by myself. This post is a rethink for me as it has personally blessed me today.
Keeping going girl,very soon you will speak to nations in Jesus name.
Writers rock! Jesus rocks!
We can achieve some things by our own power,but we can achieve ALL things,great,stupendous things with God.
Thank u,thank u Tosin,writers indeed rock!! God is taking us places IJN,amen!
And am blushing at ur compliment oo,but err,the black dress go enter you so? If it will,its urs.*smiles*
Love this!
Gone are the days when women were entirely dependent on men. I can even imagine how frustrating it would be if someone kept asking me for money for little things like maggi and pant…ah…ah! There’s no way that man can value you much. My grandmum used to be a major advocate of a woman having her own source of income no matter how small it is. It helps with sanity in the home. BTW men shld not now take it for granted that their wives have incomes and use it as a reason not to but her things. A woman would love and respect her man more when he provides for her. Afterall that’s his constitutional/biblical responsibility…lol
Hehehe at constitutional obligation,but na true o,dis is in no way taking away d duty of a man..
Am amazed at d fact that ur grandmum was an advocate 4women aving their own stuff,goes to show that even in those days,we still had women with good brains…thanks Femmetotale
Men cannot comprehend the magnitude of a woman’s expenditure. If you’re buying a car or house, he will understand, but not makeup and those things that make us happy. Eventually, he will become irritable because the burden is too much. Do yourself a favor and generate some income. No matter how rich he is, you don’t need to neglect your dynamic brain.
Barrister Frances, I see you o,with your big beautiful smile. God has indeed made available everything we need to succeed and fulfill destiny in life but he big question is how many of us have realised that fact? For those who know this truth,how many have truly tapped into that seed of greatness? I hope this post encourages them to do so.
Keep sharing dear. you are going places IJN. much love
Reading ur comment again-“for those who have realised,how many have tapped into that greatness”…this is so true.the realisation is different from practicalisation(if thrz any word like that)
We’ve got to keep working on it,we’v got to use all God have deposited in us to shine forth that greatness.
So its in us,yes,but we have to tap into it.
Thank u Tosin for this.
I am big, I dream big and My God is bigger than any dream I can have. He is the one who puts the desire in me and He will accomplish it as I take the necessary step of faith. Hallelujah!!! Great post!
Yes o Uchenna,He can do exceedingly,far greater things than we can even imagine,all it takes is our faith to make it work…
Cheers to stepping up faith things for us all.
Thanks
Like my bestie said to that PEACE picture…
‘PEACE OUT to the world. Pasor Bolaji has claimed his property…’
Lol
Thanks hun…
Mega thanks
I too will celebrate you
Muah
And thanks Missy Tee
Yes o,Let the World be at peace,they that belong to each other are now with each other(english hard o,hope this mks sense)
Congrats Again Mrs E,Amen,my celebration galore is coming..*smiles*
Blasting in the tongues of insults, what a fascinating topic. Frances, u no go kill person with laugh o! Very true post, our good attitude should not end in church,it should extend to the outside world. Don’t worry dear ,very soon you will join the league of new wigs.
Amen Dear,AMEN.
Like I read in stupendousgrace.com/ today,our attitude in words et all should be clothed with God’s accent evrywhere we go.
Thanks Tosin.
Amen Dear,AMEN.
Like I read in http://www.stupendousgrace.com/ today,our attitude in words et all should be clothed with God’s accent evrywhere we go.
Thanks Tosin.
Wow I am smiling in Chinese over here o! This is a lovely post and everything you wrote speaks to our generation. God bless you and please continue to write for God! 🙂
Yes Naijawife,that’s a new slant to it.God must have really worked on ‘us’ to be where we are at now.
But I pray He will also continue to work on ‘us’ more for us to be perfect in Him.
Thanks a lot for stopping by.*big smiles*
Halleluyah!!! Preach it sister lol. On a serious note though, we need less gossips and more readers. Ladies that dare to challenge themselves intellectually. http://mateyscott.blogspot.co.uk
Amen Mayowa!
May we preach it and live it also,God help us.
Ur comment is just on point! We need more readers,more intellectual thinkers and less of the small gossip gossip thingy..
Thanks Mayowa for stopping by
my dear you write beautifully!!!
that guy’s greatness is out of this world
i really celebrate the man he was and i beg God if we can have a man in our naija even quarter to deliver us form our struggle.
Exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond -Nothing is impossible for Him to do. Today, I will ask big cos He’s big enough (Thanks for such a timely message, Frances). Congrats o Mrs E – Wishing her all the best!
“Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”
Since we can’t read other people’s minds, the premise of a person’s worth is established from his words. We really need to watch what we say! I guess that’s why its called ‘Watch-Word’… Nice piece E.F!
Wow what a fascinating write up. Some ladies think that such public display connots wisdom or strenght. Most ladies act this way due to low self esteem. http://nkykate2.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1
Spot on Frances!
Absolutely forthright and clear.Here’s hoping the world will be rid of such infuriating chauvinists and blessed with confident, wholesome men who not only respect the ineffable treasures women really are to the world, but also place a priceless premium on them.
Amen!
And yes, you did express tact rather than vent like I would have done..lol
Good thing you put your displeasure to constructive use.
May we do right by God.
Ah Lizzie,Amen and Amen!
And it was hard to express tact in the face of this,twas really hard.thank God for self-control.
And thank u,thank u for coming on here + for the comment+for the compliments et al 😀
Uche u spoke my mind… Totally.
I keep saying we need to raise men better. Let us not focus on only the girl child oooo. These men need more focus walahi.
Anu ofias
And E couldn’t resist the “anu ofias”.
Ah,it took me considerable strenght of will not to call them worse…
Oh wait,I did call them worse in my first post I drafted,it took grace to change what I wrote to this diplomatic one.
Indeed,Men need to be raised better and by God’s grace,ours won’t be like this at all,at all.
Thanks ‘E’.
Ah Uchenna,I was angry o but I didn’t waste time talking,I just put pen to paper and channeled all I was feeling in there.
Thanks for coming on here.I appreciate
Unfortunate. We can only pray for them because men who think so have put themselves in boxes, they have imprisoned themselves in the lies they have bought… really sad how they see their mothers, sister and wives…

Three gbosa for this post! You write beautifully, captured the essence of worshipping God very well. God help you and me because I falter in this area as well, lol 🙂
Great piece..
So there are still men that have this shallow way of thinkn?..*its a piri*….I think mothers and to-be mothers have a great role to play in mentoring these young men, so they don’t pass on this mentality to other generations
You took the words right outta my heart…I feel a lady and a Christian one at that should NOT and NEVER make use of certain vocabs in public or private..saddens me to see a respectable lady rantn and shouting at the top of her voice to someone or a group of pple, am not ruling out offences, but it can always be handled in a mature way..thanks for sharing this.
They still exist o,and Its a piri indeed.
Both mothers and fathers have a huge role to play in turning sexism around.
Kids(boys) watch their parents,not just what they say but also how they treat their wives and daughters. If fathers relegate their wives 2d background,thrz a chance the boy will too.
It should start from the family circle. Fathers and Mothers,like E says,we have to raise better men.
Thanks soooo much for ur comments.
Yes o Uje,They still exist o,and Its a piri indeed.

Thanks soooo much for ur comments.
A word in season o. I was thinking about it also this morning. I have been reading my bible, but not had quiet time. There’s a difference. God’s help and grace upon us.
Amen Tomiwa.God help us all.God help us all(wrote it twice to reiterate how desperately I need His help in studying His word).
Thanks dear for stopping by.
Citizen Cyril,the issue is already being solved by us knowing that we’ve been away from Him,now,we’ve got to take steps to go back right away. Make a U-turn,ask God to help u,make a conscious effort to spend time with the word daily…
All is well. All is well,His grace is sufficient.
So well put! We often let the business of life drive us far, satan gives us “genuine” excuse and our minds tell us God understands. He doesn’t!!! He wants us at all times to give Him our time, or should I say, His time. His presence and His Word are the sustenance we so need in this dying world.
Thanks for helping us see this truth once again.
Ah,Uchenna,I tire for the matter pass you. Some act like Naija water never touch their body but check well,u’ll see that both naija water,food and all nai dey their system and its nothing to be ashamed of so I wonder what the deal is with distancing themselves frm it. Its us,its our identity and if we can’t be proud of it,I wonder what else we’ll be proud of.
Sorry 4d epistle my sister,thanks for stopping by
Ah you went hard on this piece, lol! Hmm accents are cool. Certain jobs require you to master- well not master, to gain competence in specific accents for different reasons. But it doesn’t mean you neglect yours or make your people suffer before they can understand you, lol, I tire too o. Pele 😀
Worship And Swag,yes,you brought a different slant to it.I guess if a Nigerian were to be a lecturer in Britain,he would have to learn and ‘master’ the way they speak right? I think that’s understandable and such a person needs it to be competent in his job? Yes,its true.
But I am focusing on accents being an characteristic of the total package of a “fine girl”,not for job or anything else,just as a show… Thank u o,ur pele helped a lot.lol
Thanks a lottttt for stopping by. 😀
Am a firm believer when it comes to having a very good command of the english language, and knowing the appropriate words to use et al…but when it comes to speaking through the nose? LOL..its kind of irritating, why? Cos I just see fakeness all over 🙂
“Don’t light a fire and expect the Holy Spirit to quench it” nailed it. I keep hearing God will not let us be tempted more than we can handle. Did He tell you to go looking for the trouble you can or cannot handle? Solomon, who was not called the wisest man for nothing, said do not awaken love before it’s time. May God help us all
Wow,….the same mouth you use to commune with God, you use in insulting people or saying vane stuff. Its amazing this is the way things are in our society. They left their manners in church, forgetting that we are models of Christ even outside church. Choi, some women sha,..lol, no iota of self control or forgiveness. Anyway,thank you for this post, for being a shinning light unlike our other sisters, lol. Welldone dear and thank you for visiting my blog. Ur blessed and it’s good to meet you, our soon to be barrister, congrats in advance.
Yes Tenderoni,u’ve made Emmanuel come alive for me with your comment.HE is DEFINITELY with us..Amen and amen,God bless u too and thank you,thank you for stopping by
Amen Tomiwaayonrinde…DO NOT AWAKEN LOVE BEFORE ITS TIME=there’s a time for everything,let us not eat the food meant for marriage before it should be eaten,we’ll still eat it if we are patient,at the right time,with the right person,under the right sheets(not necessarily sheet abi E?) And with God’s blessings.
Got that again from your comment. Thanks Tomiwa.
Hehehehe Ujesta! Seriously though,I tell you,I can’t hear a word said when the nose and tongue is being twisted.its a serious matter 🙂
Thanks lots for stopping by.*insert plenty plenty smiles*
Tenderonii,I really wish and pray all or atleast most of our sisters will be shinning lights in this regard too.we need it.
Thank you for the ‘congratulations’ given in advance. I claim it oo,it will be for real soonest,AMEN. Thanks,thanks a lot 🙂
And its super great to meet you too.I loved your blog…
Tenderonii,I really wish and pray all or atleast most of our sisters will be shinning lights in this regard too.we need it.
Thank you for the ‘congratulations’ given in advance. I claim it oo,it will be for real soonest,AMEN. Thanks,thanks a lot 🙂
And its super great to meet you too.I love your blog…
Waow this was such an insightful piece,well crafted and garnished with a lot of wise words..I am really happy to have discovered your blog..May God continue to bless you and keep you inspired..coming from your number one fan*winks*
you know Frances,…I read this post out loud, something I don’t usually do, normally I would read through my eyes. At the end,..I bursted out in tongues and after 30secs or more,.I sed “Hallelujah” That’s all I can say, the Holy Ghost has sed all I needed to say in the Spirit.
One thing that I always find my self saying to me at points like this is “Hannah, It cannot get worse, that same spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in me,..what else do I need. But I must say to everyone that might find themselves at this point right now, “the path of the righteous is as a shinning light, it shineth brighter and brighter, unto that perfect day” Except you are not the righteous. But then again, WHY DID JESUS COME?.This consciousness must be birthed deep into your spirit and you’ll see that nothing can stop you and like I’ll always say to myself, “It is not over until you win”.
Thank you Frances, I could feel the need for you to spread this good news. I’m glad you are over that now. Those testimonies you shared on my post is just a tip of the Ice berg, God will def surpass your needs, in this coming year and that thing u are anticipating is not far, just kip speaking God’s word concerning you on that matter, and it will surface. kip watering your seed with his words and the harvest is surely near. God bless you dear. Love you, muah.
Oh Hannah,plenty,many hugs to you.
I read your comment like thrice already.thank you,thank you.indeed,our paths will shine brighter and brighter unto the perfect day.
#i believe.
Thank u once again,much love dear.
This is resonating so deeply within me again- “just kip speaking Godâs word
concerning you on that matter, and it
will surface. kip watering your seed with
his words and the harvest is surely near”-indeed,the harvest is near,God’s word never fails.
Thanks Hannah,thank you.
i was at this point for over a year. the devil had field day with me.. However, God does have plans for us, His word never returns to him without fulfilling the purpose for which it has been sent. My life is a living testimony to that. Yes, we would testify, Yes we are more than enough, Yes we will get to where God is leading us and Yes we will conquer. Much love darling.
Tomiwa,I was looking for the like to your comment.
Yes,God does have a plan for us and yes,we will fulfill it.
I more than believe.
Thank you so much.*hugs and much love*
AWWWWW I’m blushing. Thank you for wishing me a merry Christmas, trust me it has gotten merrier because of this. I love you tooo and like you advised I won’t chop too much, before I’ll embarrass myself the next day with plenty visit to the looo aka toilet. Have a beautiful day, your love has touched me specially and I’ll take some part to share with my world, too bad ur not with me to receive my special hug. anyway,I’ll give you internet hug….*Hugs and kisses* plenty plenty…muah http://www.phroonesis.wordpress.com
Ah Hannah,the internet can very well substitute for real hug,I accept it 120percent.
and did I say don’t eat much? There’s actually a story about christmas and loo I can tell but let’s save that for another day and despite that loo thing,Hmm,you are still on your own o,I am eating much eh*hides face*
Reading this I remember a post I did on my blog one time, I was down but I choose to believe that the storm would pass and that faith will prevail.
Sometimes depression and doubts just come to steal our Joy away and convince us that we aint up to standard and that God can’t really use us, But guess what? It’s all Lies. God’s word is final and will Surely Come to pass and NO MATTER THE SITUATION, God WILL MAKE IT ALL WORK OUT FOR GOOD.
Relax! Keep your faith.
Thanks Frances for this beautiful Post and I pray that as you have come to this point where you have decided to keep your faith and Believe on God’s word, So God’s will give you more grace and Testimonies.
*chuckles* Thanks for the shout-out dearie. Merry Christmas to you!
Bless your heart!
And oh this line, âAnd to all the bloggers that Christâs love transcends beyond their laptops and wordpress for blackberry to me.â .Classic mehn! Absolutely catchy and dope phrase!
You didn’t mention my name!!! *stomps around, throws Fairy GodSister type tantrum*
Lol… Merry Christmas Sweetie, thanks for stopping by mine, that’s a wonderful start.
Happy holidays!
Yay!!! Fairy Godsister stopped by on my blog!

Yeah,31st post,by God’s grace.
#much love.
Read, loved and commented on Ofili’s article.
I am so proud of Ofili. Great guy.
Thanks for leading me to it.
Will definitely be getting my magic in 2014
Love
E’
And yes E,great guy Ofili is right? I go by his site anytime I feel down and I always see/read something that makes me feel like I can conquer the world and live out my dreams (which I can by the way) by the time I leave…
Great guy…
Frances, I really wish I could hi-5 you right now – Biko, thanks so very much for sharing oooo (exactly what I needed). The Igwe twins are such an inspiration cos I’ve learnt a lot from them. Stories like theirs make me want to work harder. Despise not the day of humble beginnings and never underestimate the power of determination. Re:casualties – my lips are sealed, lol
Yours truly,we could do an ‘e-high five’ still can’t we? Lol.
Yes,I feel you on the ‘exactly what I needed’ thing. People like them spur me to get to the mark,to work harder,to keep reaching for the skies cuz I can get there,we can get there,we can fine the magic and indeed,we will.
Thanks for stopping by dear.
Hi dear so good to be back here. What an inspiring story, we truly will not know how much we are capable of till we are pushed to the wall. Thanks for sharing this dear. much love.
PS: I sent you a special Xmas wish on my blog *winks*
Yay!!! Welcome back Tosin *plenty hugs*
I have seen your shout out to me on your blog,I even saved your pic from there,you look sooo good. trust me,I’ve been stalking your blog but I tried times without number to comment and it just wasn’t going through. Lemme try again now..
And yay again! Welcome!
very great home story,…we can relate to this one well without giving excuses, because they went through challenges we understand from a nigerian’s point of view. YES WE CAN lady Frances,..2014…we are marching on, by God’s grace which is sufficient. Thank you for sharing,..its actually my first time hearing about them. I’m soo excited about your future Frances,..have a beautiful end of the year.
Woah! Thanks E,I did check it out.
Guys that ask for sex before marriage with the added words of ‘if you love me you’ll have sex with me’ indeed need to chop hot slap.lol
Tis the reason why we should know that sex isn’t love,a guy really wants you+ is a godly guy like we should all have,he’ll wait.
Thanks E
My heart just went all warm when I read your comment Tenderonii.thank u.
And yes,the reason why they inspired me so much was because of the Nigerian factor,I can so relate…
And just like you said, 2014,we are marching on…
Explicitly true. There is no other way to the truth except head-on.
When u weigh the pleasures of sex with the Perfect plan/future God has 4u, you would spit in the face of any sex promoter.
The flesh in a christian is a chained tiger, but a tiger still. Don’t pet it. Walk in the Spirit.
And your comment is so true Emmytim,its basic common sense really, why throw away your great future cuz of something u can still get in the right time when you wait?
Walking in the spirit and fleeing from every temptation does it.
Thanks dear
oh, those novels. they desensitize us and “awaken” love before it’s ready. we really need to set them aside. there are enthralling christian novel available to fill the gap. This is on point
Ah yes the novels that sell sex as the next thing to do after meeting a man. Serve to do nothing but awaken emotions and fill thoughts with wrong notions of how relationships should be.
You are right Tomiwa, we really need to set them aside.
Its a choice every believer has to make in their own time and its between them and God. No preaching or talk can change the soul or mind. It takes a resolute decision and the holy spirit’s help to stop. The worlds way has become the standard and it shouldn’t be.
Yes Eniola,the way the world’s standard is gradually seeping into believers is sad.
And yes,no preaching can make anyone stop except it comes from their own decision,but how can they make the decision except they hear the right thing? And how can they hear except its preached,like the word says in Romans 10:14-17- “But how can they call to him for help if they have not believed? And how can they believe if they have not heard the message? And how can they hear if the message is not proclaimed? And how can the message be proclaimed if the messengers are not sent out? As the scripture says, âHow wonderful is the coming of messengers who bring good news!â…
So then, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message comes through preaching Christ.(You can paraphrase d msg being preached to include keeping ourslvs pure for Christ)
We can only talk,and pray that the Holy Spirit water the words and make them yield good fruit.
Thanks for stopping by Eniola.
Frances, I’m so happy you posted it. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Corinthians 5:17) – the bible says it all. Lots of girls have made mistakes in the past, including me and I’m not proud of it at all. However, I have accepted Christ, and I’m a new being, but, sometimes the devil makes me feel guilty. Sometimes, I break down when I remember the past.
Yes yours truly, that why the question of “God has forgotten,but have you?” Comes in.
Satan tries to draw us in by filling us with feelings of guilt even though God has forgotten and forgiven it all. Satan knows that if he allows us walk in that newness of life,his hold is loosend on us so he will accuse us with our mind,oh he will…
But the bible says,”there is therefore NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in Christ Jesus and because you believe in Him,the power of the life giving spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death-(Romans 8:1-2)
I feel like bursting in tongues, yours truly, there is no condemnation on us anymore, we are cleansed, washed, its almost as if our sins never were, we can walk in christ in newness of spirit! Walk with this mindset dear,the past is gone,dead,buried!
And you can even use the past for God’s glory,after all he said,all things work for good of them who love him,your past can be used to draw men to christ,the young ones who have lost it,the new you now can be a testimony to them.
Let not the past let us drown in shame,no! Let it be an attestation to the goodness of God in our lives,to his love,to his grace.
The past is dead yours truly,it can’t speak as condemnation on u anymore,walk in this mindset. Much love
aww..”That’s wat we should all live for”. I;m excited about your future Frances. God has made you a Light indeed. May the Peace of God be unto you, your friends and family, smallie Victory and the children of the Orphanage. I love you all
Oh yeah!…as children of God we are called to be a blessing to the people we meet…that has been in my head for some months now…what would people remember me for? A blessing! Or a curse….
You couldn’t have said it better.
Old things are past away and just as God as forgives,so he forgets.
Secondary virginity isn’t easy but it’s very possible, one just has to be determined,rooted in Christ and his word, and stay away from anything and anyone that can entice you.

And thanks in advance,I know I’ll also be gleaning a lot from you in 2014 and beyond.
Thanks inthe (held myslef back frm saying ma which was one of the first things you told me,no ‘ma’ things,hehe)
Aww God is wonderful. Your testimony about your parents leaves me breathless. There is nothing impossible with God. Abeg, is Raymond your oga at the top? Lol 😀
@Worship and swag,I feel the same way when I think about it too,it leaves me speechless especially because I know how it’s being. This God we serve eh,sometimes I am short of words to say thank you. HE is awesome and awesome is too small to even describe Him..
And no o,Raymond is my bro o, but the way I love him eh,my oga gotta pull some stunts to topple my bro from being my nub 1 boo. Family’s like that and Ray’s all that and more…
Ohhh our Uje turned to Favour,thank you so much dear. I am super glad I found your blog also,you are one lady filled with strength.more grace and unto greater things for 2014,amen!
Awww, what an emotional piece, Frances. May the good Lord bless and keep you now and forever more. Have an amazing 2014, and may your ink well never run dry http://yourstrulyblogposts.blogspot.co.uk/
Ohhhh and awwwwing,thank you so much yours truly.
I am clicking my e-glass with yours in a toast to an awesome 2014,yes it will be all of awesome!
Thank you
Bold eh! Are people still talking about virginity? The answer is YES! More powerful is when it comes from singles keeping it real. Chop knuckle. Please men should also be encouraged to celebrate viginity o. It’s a wonderful thing. For the sceptics I personally know 3 guys who married as virgins. They had kids within the 1st year of marriage. These condoms do not protect against heartbreak o. Love love love. Kudos!
Whoop-Whoop! Let there be greatness and there was me!…For the Lord’ll increase your greatness.(Psalm 75:6) Bikonu, is it humanly logical to increase greatness? But no, our God can’t do small or earthly ratified measures by His very nature.
Greater darling! We ain’t seen nothing yet!…Those scriptures you made a screenshot of?absolutely bankable!
Cheers to incredible, mindblowing, phenomenal, INCREASED, uberresplendent GREATNESS!!!!!
Cheers to incredible, mindblowing,
phenomenal, INCREASED,
uberresplendent GREATNESS!!!!! – I am clinking my e-glass to this right now.
And your comment just spurred me more to the high heavens right now,yes it did!
I know I’ll definitely be reading and re-reading this post + your comment in the course of the year.Thanks Lizzie…
Awwwh! This is so sweet, So glad I was part of your 2013.. Twas truly a blessing knowing you. I. pray that your growth will be unlimited in 2014 and the lord will take you places IJN. Thanks a brunch darl.
Amen! I so love the fact that I can stop for a minute and realise that there are greater things coming. It also encourages me to dream big. After all, no matter how huge my dream is, He’s gonna do greater. Happy new year, darling
See Tomiwa- “God can do anything, you knowâfar more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!”-Eph 3:20
Yes He can! We’ll dream it,we’ll work towards it and He’ll do even more than that,yes God will!

GREATER! GREATER! GREATER……………………#kabashatalaga#
I see Greater…there’s so much to do by God’s spirit this year. Its gonna be called GREAT as He (God Himself) will magnify them in the eyes of others. Today….This week, This Month… This Year…..will just be the true definition of greatness for us all.
I know it and you know it too. I’m soo excited….your post is just God’s word for me.
Thanks Frances
Yeah!!! Greater works…
He’ll say…”What do you think you’ve seen that’s too big? Look!, I have greater things in store for you my daughter, learn to keep trusting me, ok?”
Yes, I bet our Father’s looking at us while we are in awe of the seemingly big things we see now and He’s laughing. I can just hear Him saying “forget it all,there’s more in store my child,I aint started with you yet,greater things are coming”…
Thanks Ujesta, let’s walk in our greater 2014 together!

Meee trouble maker?…#chuckles#
Frances, u r blessing to all of us frm God.
I pray 4 enlargement n open heaven, so dah

Ah Aaron,not you o,our guy in red shirt in the pics.
Thank you soooo much dear,Amen and amen to your prayers.
And I am so stealing the #tisjustdbeginning.com, wow,yes itz indeed just the beginning,God will let His light shine through us in an even bigger way in years to come,amen.
Thanks again dear
Dis is an interesting piece n a good way tu begin d new yr dearie.
Indeed, werdz wul b inadequate to convey our gratitude to God,
cos, even d “fank-you” is His creation n gift ,yet,we say, doooh, doo doo, Oghene doooh, Oghene doooooh…oya sing wif me…
*Oghene dohhhh,kiri doh doh doh kiri doh..*
Yes Aaron,even the thank you isn’t enough to appreciate God,most times I am just short of words. He is faithful,great,awesome,more than awesome…..
Amen, my dear Frances – Indeed, greater is coming. May the good Lord bless you richly, and may He use to do greater things. You are going places – this is just the beginning oooooo.
This proves that the Spirit of God is one. Because He named this year as my year of Greater Works. My spirit is stirred up! Its time to for us to break forth
Lapes,yes,we do have one Spirit given to us by God,and His revelations abounds,yes,He speaks.
And as He has spoken,I believe! Break forth we will!
Thanks for stopping by.
Our God is a great God!
He promises us greatness,
He promises us ‘greaterness’,
yesterday, people look us with a ‘small eye’,
today, they look up to us with ‘big eye’,
tommorow, when God is done,
they’ll look up up to us with a bigger eye.
Yes!
Our Daddy (He is our daddy, remember, Eloxie’s pos),
He has promised us greaness,
and He is fulfilling His promises,
we wont settle for less,
(even if we want to,
he wont let us).
Nah!
The once shy guy,
Has been made bold in Christ,
that’s not all,
he will be made bolder.
The once weak,
has been made strong in Christ,
no, that’s not all,
he will be made stronger.
That’s our heritage-
slowly, steadily,
He’ll mold us into a better person,
whom He wants us to be.
Then people will see the light in us,
and they’ll give glory to our God in heaven.
Wow James, truthfully,your comment just made more strengthened in the fact and faith that God has promised us greatness and He will deliver. He sure will!
Thanks dear
Beautiful…..The waiting part may be tough but then U can be sure about testifying!
And then my personal meme psalm34:5 : Those who look to him are radiant, they faces are never covered with shame is another reason to stay on the good course…
Ah, Tannie, thanks. just read that passage.
yes, it will be tough, it will be hard but staying on God’s path is guaranteed to give us the testimonies that matter.
thanks for stopping by dear….
Very timely this beginning of year. Brings another scripture to mind…
Weary not yourself to be rich; cease from your own [human] wisdom. Will you set your eyes upon wealth, when [suddenly] it is gone? For riches certainly make themselves wings, like an eagle that flies toward the heavens. Proverbs 23:4-5 AMP
Nuff said!
Amen. I read a post today in the same light as this…My mind is made up..I refuse to observe the lying vanites, I don’t forsake the mercy and grace of God upon me. I know that GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. Thanks for this beautiful yet timely post.So many people are facing fears, this post indeed inspires faith within. God bless you
Hear! Hear!! Hear!!!
This post is God-sent! It resonates a gazillion times over!
Thank you for being the channel this timely message came through.
…negative conditions may exist, but God is in the midst of us, we shall not be moved! GREATER!!!!!!!! Did you hear that sound? For us, its Greater all ’round, unlimited by the “buts” of the world.
Bless you Frances!
P.s; thank you for going offline without so much as a goodbye o. *side eye* . Hope you are doing well sha?
Yes Lizzie! Greater all round! Unlimited by whatever ‘buts’ there maybe! I am dancing in my spirit right now!,u say “bless you Frances’ for this timely message,but I dare say its also for me. Indeed, the ‘buts’ are nothing in the face of the greater we hear!
And u were one of the first persons I told I will be going off na.
Oya sorry,I am fine and I miss yaaaa! Where’s ur email addy? Or send me ur phone number na? *hugs,hugs,love,love*(enough bribery?) nor vex again na? Hehehe.
We are sooo alike,its scary. I don’t like phone convos that much too,infact,u call me for too long and am already itching to drop the call…but texting,ah! That’s the ish right there.lol
Will bring on the plentyyyy mails. lol
God’s only pain is our lack or inadequate trust that he is still on the throne. Truly, which report do you believe? This post is rich and may you continue to enjoy God’s exceeding grace.
Yes sir Gomba, once we can change and mid set and remember that the Lord that liveth is still on the throne and on our side,then there’s no limit to what we can achieve.
Thanks sir for taking the time to drop this,I appreciate much + amen,exceeding grace I will indeed enjoy!
God bless u sir.
We are sooo alike,its scary. I don’t like phone convos that much too,infact,u call me for too long and am already itching to drop the call…but texting,ah! That’s the ish right there.lol
Will bring on the plentyyyy mails. lol
Yahoo Yahoo is still a thing? Really? What a world! But again, we all should examine our desires if it lines up with what God wants for us. Love the scripture you put up: Psalm 73 “…Then I went into your sanctuary, O God,
and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked.”
It’s easy to get lost in the throes of “hustling” but trust God to always “open our eyes” when we go back to Him.
Ah,yes worshipandswag, yahoo yahoo is still a big business,still large…
And I agree with you,its so easy to get lost with what path to take in the hustling game,it takes God’s grace to stand firm which I pray he grants us all.
I mega appreciate your stopping by. *smiles, smiles*
I remove every buts on my progress steps in Jesus name. Amen! Thanks a lot for this beautiful reminder to guide us through the year!
Have a super blessed day!
Love
Thank you aunty Ugochi.
I pray this guides us through this year to look upwards,fix our sights on Him with whom there’s no buts,amen…
#Much love ma.thank you for stopping by
“Will you be like the 10 spies that were already defeated by their minds before they stepped into battle? Or will you be like Joshua and Caleb, who despite what they saw in Canaan still held on to the fact that they can conquer it all?”
No ma, I’ll never want to be like the spies. I will never let the ‘hallucinations’ and buts to instill fear in me!
Yes ma, I will ever want to be like Joshu. Even in the midst of the ‘hallucinations’ and buts that might want to brainwash me, I will still trust in God’s assurance. And I will keep moving.
Ten million loves for your comment James, we’ll keep moving, our trust in our Father with whom there’s no ‘buts’ will remain ever strong and sure. Amen.
Thanks dear for stopping by,as always,your comment always re-inspires something in me. Thanks
So many but in everything about life. I’ve decided to ignore them for me to lead a successful life.
Frances u really are a gifted writer…keep up the good work!
Yes ma,buts or not,we must keep moving like James said.
I appreciate you much, thanks Catherine,for stopping by,for the encouragement to keep writing…thank you.
Amen. I’m definitely gonna do as you’ve said and by God’s grace at work in and for me…I’ll be steps closer to that greater testimony. God bless you for the message and instructions. A great teacher not only explains the problem, she also gives instructions and steps to come out with the result desired. Thanks again Frances. Enjoy ur week
My weekend was very hectic, but, now I get to rest as I have a whole week off 🙂 Guess you had an awesome weekend, Frances. Like you mentioned earlier – we have to keep speaking His words to Him – Nothing returns to Him void (Isaiah 55:11). I am ever so ready for greater, and I have picked a goal (can’t wait to meet you at the greater things zone). Thanks so very much, Frances, and may God keep blessing you. He needs more soldiers like you xx
Wow! Yours truly, a whole week off!
Kai! I envy you o.
Enjoy your week. NICE!*smiles*
And yes o,I am so glad you are really ready for greater,yes yes! Our minds are set on it,we will work towards it and God’s word will definitely come to pass in our lives.
Thanks much dear, God bless you big big…
Jesus Lord, this is a word in season. Are you ready to spend time with the one who will make you greater? I pray God gives you more wisdom to excel in your endeavors in Jesus name. Amen! Thanks for sharing!
@worshipandswag, Amen ma,amen.
It is also my earnest desire that we all excel in all we put our hands to do as we should,as seen in Job 22:28,yes we will succeed in all we chose to do.
Thank you for stopping by.
Very inspiring! The work part must be added on to the bricks of getting to greatness. Unfortunately the enemy tricks us with laziness, half baked work or complacency in the working, and many times procrastination.
What best way to enter that greatness but to spend time with Greatness Himself, Jehovah? And then diligence to that which is necessary…
Thanks for this inspiration!
Words of wisdom are refreshing to the soul. To achieve greatness we have really got to pay the price. Often times ,the price is not easy but in the end it is always worth it..Bless your heart dear. Happy new yr
Yes Tosin,it may not be easy,but that’s why the place of greater isn’t crowded,only few are ready to do the work. But I pray for grace for us all…
Thanks dear.
This post rocks…..got me thinking! All of the time spent ruminating on my errors and all that. Gotta change! Thanks Frances.
And yes post more….I’m trying to do that too.
This post is timely..funny how we settle on our buts without even knowing..this just made me ask myself questions…
Thank you Frances…I’m still meditating!

…Same God! If He did it before, He can do it again.
I cracked up at a number of the lines here, but then again, who else but Dcc pastors combine humour&the word to deliver truths?
Thanks for sharing Frances.
E’ has said it all about your phone. Stay trusting.
P.s; I can’t count how many times my name featured in this post Frances. E ku Ife. 😀 . Lizzie loves you too
awww Lizzie wanna make me go all mushy, I loves you too.
thanks babes, God is able, I stand in faith gidigba, something greater on the phone levels is coming.. much love
Love the dentition by the way. I’m agreeing with pm’s statement on pregnancy before wedlock. I’m gearing up for those surprise contacts and contracts God is bringing my way.
yes o Tomiwa, be all geared up and ready because they will surely come.
and thank you for the compliment *I am blushing with my chocolate skin even though I am not fair* lol
thanks for stopping by dear
yes Suzanne, God bless Pastor M greatly, I was more than inspired yesterday.
thanks love, I believe God is working out something better as regards the phone.
thank you much for stopping by…much love
I enjoyed reading your post dear. Double lol at No. 7. Buh seriously when ur really busy you won’t have time to dash yourself out to someone who’s not paying rent jor. We ladies definitely need to set our priorities straight. Abeg, I’m downloading all these tips into my…wait oh, is it possible to download them into my brain directly and just pull them up whenever I need a reminder 😀 ? Cheers!
Ah, femmetotale,I am also looking for a way to download into my brain and use when needed o, and I think its possible. Its what E called voices, so far as you’ve heard/read it, the Holy Spirit brings it to reminder when you need it.
And the nub 7 is so true,the being a doormat and wife on credit for a man has so much to do with idleness, I agree with Pastor M abeg.
Thanks Naija mum..
And the storing the words in our brain is serious oh, a lady always needs it.
Thank you much for stopping by and dropping a comment, like my lizzie says- “take glass of wine biko” and please stop by time and time again. *big smiles*
Ah Pastor M? On here?? Ah! Awww, yay!!
And yes ma’am,tis the same msg, I was also awed when you were pointing out the lessons from the Bible passage read. May God continue to use you to bless me and more. Thanks ma.
And Amen oo, I believe! Restoration is better…
One thing I like about you is that you always spread the blessings; you were blessed by Pastor Mildred and trust me, you’ve blessed me. Thanks babe!! I agree with you dear RESTORATION!
i am always the last person to comment, I hate typing with my phone!
No 4 was: Focus on your own life…In PM’s words she said mind ur business, get busy, make urself a better person, have a definite plan for your life and prioritize well.
5. Fellowship: This is not the year to miss church. You need to get clear instructions for the yaer, many of the words you will need to hold onto will come from church meetings.
laughing at myself… u had all the points jor. guess it was just your numbering just realized u had all those points I stated already.
Cant wait for the definite forwards this year!
Ah me too o! I can’t fit to wait! *dancing already*
And I did re-learn again from same points you dropped, e nor loss. Clap for yourself, don’t laugh at yourself. Lolz.
Thanks for stopping by Tannie.
Thank you for this timely post Frances…it’s got me on my feet. I know for certain that God’s got something big for us this year. Nothing can stop us,..not even our relationships. I thank God for all He’s doing for us as well. God is awesome. I Love you darling. Enjoy your weekend.
Yes Hannah, God is amazingly awesome,words can’t describe it even!
God will grant us grace to dust off wrong relationships and they wont/cant hold us down at all.
Thanks babes. TGIF yeah?! *E hugs*
And Ohh,..I don’t you think I forgot that beautiful face and smile and teet and shades and dress and shape…gbogboe gbogboe, in that picture. You look somschious, tantalizing….Great Smile you’ve got dear. Cheers

Pls pardon my typo errors ooh,..lol..I’ve corrected and corrected, the sleep won’t just clear off my eyes…I’m sure its definitely your cute face that has charmed me. I refuse to be charmed ooh, Frances. I hope this one is not filled with errors as well, lol. Sorry for the plenty comment people…I don’t know how to delete comments from wordpress…anyone who knows how is free to share, lol..Thanx
Ah,abeg nor delete any comment jor, them dey sweet me for body. Thanks dearie.
Someborry is blushing crazily much right here now…*big smilessss*
And be charmed ooo. Lollllz
I know how you feel
These programs get me on a high just thinking about them. Serious shacks ooo.
And yes darling relationships are everything.
I love the analogy of the closest 7…
We won’t go further than those people…
So we need to carefully chose them.
I think I have heard pastor jumoke preach.
Not sure but it was a long time ago and she used Abigail I think.
If she is the same person, I am beefing you lol. See groove ooo.
You no come lagos come play ooooo. Hehehe… hope you got the cd cos that is one more thing I am picking from you when we see.
Lovely post.
And yup thank God you got the phone back…
He is still restoring… don’t pack up yet…
Hugs
E’
Hehehhe, ok o E, make I nor spoil the word as its one of my fave pidgin abi slang…oya I don change the word fast fast.thank you.
And yes o, this my waiting period for the one nor be for waste, its to be soaked totally in the spirit and words of wisdom, no time to play at all at all…
And sadly, I couldn’t wait to get the cd after the programme, I only have my notes…
But she’s an amazing woman of God! Totally, totally!
The part I love the most ” if u see anything good happening….” remember PM stressed this that day and I promised to disturb her wellla this year…
It strikes me heavily that a lot of forwards will be related to rships and so I am working really hard on mine seeing as I have always been a loner with no inner circle…
Pls what time is Nathaniel Bassey coming biko? Cant miss out on that kind of worship experience.
And yes I should just subscribe already..
Good work girl…..
P.s we better start planning our thxgiving party for the end of 2014.
Yes o Tanni, we should live forth in gratitude from now cuz this 2014 eh, like E says, satan will wince in pain from all God will do in our lives..
God will help us work on it, I was a loner for a while too, still am sometimes, I only allow few people come in but this year,I must glean from blessed people oo. Compulsory!
And I didn’t mention it in the post? Nathaniel bassey is an exco in our youth church o,so he is ALWAYS around. he has been ministering in the programme since it started on tuesday. Today sef is pentecost service,we are trusting God that we’ll bask in the spirit and He will descend on us today. Please make it if you can, you are welcome….*big smiles*
And thanks for subscribing babes *high fives*
I can understand Tanni, me too!!!
Especially the humble ones, the ones who just want to be yielded in totality to Christ as a vessel for Him…
Jealous ooo, you should be.hehe
Joining the beefers
Sipping my beeferade in the corner…
Nathaniel is a dream…
And yup I am with tani on the thanksgiving end of the year party
Yeah yeah yeah
E, Beeferade? Lmao! Kai! I love your langua sha o…
And yes, sip am well.Nathaniel is all that and more.hehe. I am personally amazed at his humility and willingness to just be used by God. Infact if I didn’t see his name on your good christian songs posts,I would never have known it was him.
I am revved for thanksgiving already,God has already started amazing things via this week in His presence, being awesome all round with testimonies abounding…
Tis true dat one of d greatest factors that determine emotional and spiritual smiles/stress is our ‘relationships’…. The right Relational alignment is key this year
Well said Barr. Okoro Frances. Real food for thought for me. Greatness doesn’t come from dreaming the dream but from working the work. We shall all be great by God’s grace
pastor frances,just tell me which one u wan do? shey na lawyer or writer or preacher ?lol
Cheers to super gifted belle called frances,more grease dear.
That’s why I appreciate the friends God has given me as a gift. I can make a boast that its quality not quantity and I thank God everyday.
I love the saying about letting go of the past.
It is definitely the time to start the weeding process so the weeds don’t choke up the good plants.
I once heard a pastor say that every thing we need to know about “fellowship and eternity” is encapsulated in our relationships with humans. And if we can’t practice getting along as humans, workers in the vineyard, living everyday life following the statutes of God, we can’t fully experience the glory of what God describes about the hosts of heaven in the Book of Revelations.
Oh how I wish to be there with you guys @ the program! Do enjoy, and continue to share your experiences with us 🙂
“every thing we need to know about “fellowship and eternity” is encapsulated in our relationships with humans.”… I’ve realised that this is just it!
And yes Maggie,I’ll definitely share. Thanks for stopping by
Congratulations Gurl…..I’m soo excited about this ooh,…really really happy. You know this is small compared to what’s coming, I laugh in tongues for what God’s gonna do this year in and through you….this is just a sign for me to know that it will be a PUBLIC SHOW of God’s greatness in you.
No need to say get well soon to you ooh….just stand up from there, we’ve missed you.

It is well with you. You’re already better sef. Just bask in your father’s love and come back to share the gist with us..
Congrats also on the bellanaija feature….
yaay! she is back. You should have seen how much i stalked your blog so see if you were back.Chaii! i envy u o. U went to the hospital and came back with shopping bags!lol.
ah Tosin,nothing to envy o,i would have gladly given that up for good health,but the plenty care and love shown with shopping bags nor hurt sha,lol.
I am back oo, stalk no more or keep stalking jare,lol…thanks lots for the love,i mega,plenty appreciate much,God bless you
We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. When the revelation hits you, you realize that there’s no impossibility before a child of God.
yes Ochuko, I’ve found out its all about walking in the knowledge that we indeed can do all we set our minds to do not cuz we are al that but cuz we have our God working through us…once this sinks in,there’s no limit to the results it sets lose….
erm and I think this is your first comment here,so like Lizzie says and I am paraphrasing mine;*take my own glass of wine (abi zobo), receive plenty plenty welcome from me and keep stopping by and letting the comments roll. I appreciate much..
awww,thank you yours truly….as soon as I saw your name here, the realization that I miss you much! plenty many tres much just hit again! next post oncoming and loading,i hope you are ready for the giveaway question?
Trust Frances to make a grand, resplendent entry! LOL!! I’m glad you’re okay. I wasn’t able to keep up with your posts due to some personal ish but God’s grace is sufficient. By the way, the way you and E churn out posts like mama put is scaring me oo…lol! More anointing to you 🙂
yes o Maggie, God’s grace is sufficient, I trust the personal ish is sorted now….and ah, I was even thinking I don’t publish posts frequently enough oo but I receive that anointing abeg, eshe o!
Awwwww I would have loved to go for the Feb 15 visit but too far away from Lag. at the mo’. 🙁 God bless your heart for doing this Frances.
You are right though, Valentine’s should be shared.
Good news is Missy Tee, you can do this wherever you are and not necessarily with something grand;could be love shown to that little boy you see each day that you knows needs some godly sugar love…and 12? ok oooo,heh…
Fabulous! This giveaway dimension is laudable! Way to go girl!!!
… if love from its original source&nature is characterized by its desire to inspire and contribute to better lives, why not celebrate& prioritize our love walk beyond a certain date or partner/individual?
Bless your heart Frances! Love outcreaches do make a difference.
“No limits ma’am!” Yes, definitely none Lizzie.
And your comment just spurred me on again to let Christ’s love through me(us)be celebrated beyond certain people/individuals.*hugs* God bless you plenty..
Err,you lauded the blog giveaway but didn’t enter your answer o, *rolling eyes* I wonder why all my friends are leaving it for others.. Ok o.lol
Lol @ oh ye single lady planning to just have sex with Chike on February 14th – that one really cracked me up. Valentines’ day is all about spreading the love – I’m working on the 14th, and that’s a perfect opportunity to spread some love – Will help nurse my patients’ back to health. Frances, may the good Lord keep blessing you – young and accomplished! Please, don’t stop affecting people positively. You were 15 when you fell in love for the first time. Hope I guessed right?
Yours truly, it may not be chike the babe is planning to have sex with o, maybe others with his own name, tis serious. Someone told me a story of a girl that did it on Vals day for the first time and that was how the belle came, the word needs to be spread,some maybe confused and pressured,thus just want to go ahead with it. God help us..
And woah! Fine Nurse! You have the perfect environment to spread the love on that day and for everyday you live, God bless you plenty plenty for me dear,I appreciate your kind words.
And 15? Is that really your final answer? Hmm, we’ll see…
LOVE this! You have inspired me to want to do love differently this month. Like you said, rather than pining for ‘the one’, I would rather spend it doing something for someone.. More of God’s grace for you and your friends. He who gives to the poor lends to God xxx
Oh and with the prize giveaway, I’m guessing 14yrs old.. 🙂 xx
Really touched by ur words sisi
actually, with your kinda person~ i believe you knew the word love not neccessarily with “ur mr cutie or heart rob” but with everyone you see around you.
i can say you started expressin love when you could understand its concept n ways of expressing it. It could be as tender as possible but love with “ur mr cutie”, i could say 15 years old.
thanks
Very nice and considerate way to spend the Val. You know, sometimes we rush through the hustle&bustle of everyday life overlooking the ‘little people’ who have been made little by a lack of economic significance, disease, disability & voicelessness. And i believe like you rightly said, even a little kindness/help would surely do much to bring sunlight into their gloomy existence & make them feel that they are part of the society & can still achieve their dreams, may even draw a tear.
I have heard of places where they thank you everyday for a #500 naira gift (yeah!).
Like Mother Theresa said, when you help the less privileged, each of your five fingers echo Jesus words; “You did it to me”.
P.S: i think you were 17 about turning 18 but still 17!
Thank you Emmytim for leaving Mother Theresa’s words on here, tis the truth and deeply resonates..indeed,all kindness shown is done to Jesus himself.
And your answer be like two age o, but 17 yeah? We wee see if you are right.*smiles*
And I Looooooooooooove the fact that you came on here NW! But I couldn’t help laughing here at the 8years old oo, but you may be right sha. We’ll see if you are*big grin*…
Dr N, you just cracked me up real good. But all’s good, you are still blessing us in your married state, I know I’ve gleaned priceless wisdom for your writings..
Love is the highest calling and the most acceptable sacrifice. I agree with Lizzie ,we should share love beyond a particular date. Its human to be selfish and think of just ourselves but when we start extending love to others without expecting anything in return,God is pleased.
God bless u bigly Frances,I pray your visit to those children will change the course of their destiny.
Now to the giveaway, Frances you know this is not fair o! your first crush? haba! How am I going to know when I had my first crush when I was nine. Don’t blame me o! D boy was very fine and brilliant. lol
My guess: probably when you were 14 or 15*winks*
Amen and amen Tosin, I am really praying that God love will shine through us that day…
Ehen! You were crushing on someone when you were nine? Brilliant boy yeah? I nor blame you at all.Heheh..
Your answer’s sitting on the fence o, please come back and chose one, nor confuse my head. I want you to win sef,I almost wrote it in the post.come back and chose one age.*smiles*
I enjoyed reading this! Great plans for Val’s day.
There’s truly nothing more fulfilling than putting a smile on the face of other people especially people who can never repay u in anyway.
Yiiiipppeee!!!!! I like giveaways!
As for the crush thing, my guess would be 18-19.
Cos that’s probably when I had my first crush (don’t laff) 🙂 .
Lol
I totally agree with your femmetotale, the selfless kinda love is always the best…
You said I shouldn’t laugh? I don burst laugh here already. We’ll soon know if I had my first crush same time as you did..hmmm.
hmmmm,….my answer isssssssssssssss 12yrs old.
I love this post…..insightful as always.
This is really you saying ur ready for greater this year ooh…u nor even wan gree 4 anybody,….giveaway/vals love visit to the kids……God’s actually training you in Godliness.and you are acting on them…I know I will definitely hear a great testimony from you by the end of next quarter. God bless you love,..muah..love u
Ah Hannah! You sabi that our E hug shey? That’s what your comment makes me wanna give to you right now now!
God promised us “greater” abi? I will follow,case closed.
12 years old? 12years old? 12 years old? Shebi you join those wey dey think say I was very young? Why can’t you guess that I have NEVER crushed on any one? Holy bebe things? Looools..we’ll see if you are right.
#plenty love babes!
lol,….that E hug is coming to u nw my babe…..Me I know sey u get crush,…u nor fit hide under our christian sister wrapper,..lol
I just have to be right ooh,…u better make me right,..I must win ooh….heheheh
Great great great Cassandra! Will be glad if you can make it, having someone other than the lawyers to be in there would also make senses!
Its by 10am,will hit you a mail to make things clearer incase you can indeed make it..*smiles*
To answer your question, you were old enough. Lol 😛
You raised solid points. I’ve never understood the idea of building castles in the air with a man you most certainly know can’t be yours. Why pin and yearn for him on vals day? Abeg let the love of God shine through jare!
Exactly Suzanne, it should spread forth beyond feb 14th…
and 15 seems to be the popular general consensus here o, well well, we shall see if its right sha, soon soon…
I got this from Nathaniel Bassey’s Page on facebook and coupled with yours above, you couldn’t have said it better!
Come 14th February, a loveless world would celebrate LUST, in the name of LOVE. To them, the gust of testosterone and estrogen surging through the male and female body, leading to wild sex drives and uncontrolled libido, is LOVE. And as a result, sexual immorality would be at it’s peak that day and days preceding and even after it.
Billions of dollars in income and profit would be raked in from sales of goods and services world over. Corporate bodies and businesses smart enough to seize the moment would engineer, psychologically, the appetites and desires of consumers to spend using subtle and aggressive marketing techniques, all in the name of “LOVE”
But as Christians, called to be salt and light in a fallen world, we cannot join the rave, rather we must seek the Lord to save, by the power of the Holy Spirit, men and women on the path of hell and eternal damnation, as we seize the opportunity to introduce Christ Jesus – LOVE personified – to those we come in contact with that day. Praying and believing that every spiritually blind and lost soul will encounter the love of Christ which passes knowledge and that which truly fills and satisfies in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
Secondly, me I no know the age where you begin look say you dey feel one kind..lol, and so let me just pass this giveaway by. but you sef, which kind of algebraic question is this? me i no like am oo…
And may the love of Christ shine through us all always! kisses
Wowzer!!! Frances, this is the point where you (using your legal acumen) request a custom-made “Like” button from WordPress for Glowingscene’s comment.
I just got the email with the words glowing scenes wrote here from my church again, Minister Nathaniel couldn’t be right(er) 3divine wisdom + eshe o glowing scenes for sharing it here…
Lizzie, I agree, its about time WordPress brings in the like buttons on comments, we needs it, moreso for comments like yours that are always on point!
And as soon as I get full certification as a Legal Practitioner come November by God’s grace, word press will hear from moi. let me get the full backing first. loool
this ebun just knows how to make someone’s head swell. LOOL, abeg oo…**grinning and blushing.** thank u! Na nathaniel write am o and me I just helped him share.
And that’s something you could do right there on val’s day too Enajyte, thank God its a school day, you could spread the word in schools to little girls on whats important, for them not to get their heads in a roll cuz of the val thingy, its all a part of spreading the love and helping them make right choices like you did..

sandra ufuoma
September 27, 2013 at 2:00 amSo true.most people do not care abt their personal relationship with God they rather depend on others who av built their relationship with God and that is why they are pushed around and don’t even know or care to know d truth from the lie…may God help us all.thumbs up dear

sandra ufuoma
September 27, 2013 at 2:44 amMost Women(95percent)are complicated and confused beings who do not even understand themselves or know what they want.they cry 4 nice guys but run with d bad guy bcuz they dnt know what they want so d simple solution is,define urself.as a lady,understand urself first,know what u want in life that way,u’ll know who u shld stick with instead of test running any guy that comes ur way.most importantly,we shld work on our personal relationship with God,put God first b4 any man.Let God be ur guard.** pls note however that d fact that a lady prays 4 a nice guy does not mean she is praying 4 a fool.Most of us want a man,sm1 who can truly be d head and at d same time very nice and understanding not a puppet so to those ‘crazy in love’ guys out there,yeah love us but dnt loose ur dignity and ego as a man.love us but we dnt want u to be our puppet.Be d man who loves but can also be in charge as a man.
sandra ufuoma
September 27, 2013 at 2:51 amRubbish!!!Total disgrace to womanhood!!yeye people.Any woman that still believes she needs a man to be successful needs to be prayed 4,serious deliverance!!Be successful and men ur class will come 4 u after all even marriage is vanity.the whole importance they attach to marriage sef makes me wonder if having a husband is an automatic visa to heaven.
imperfectlyperfect92
September 27, 2013 at 5:04 amI sense a kindred spirit btw us @Ufuoma..I suspect these women do not have anytin doing with their hands,are not exposed or the culture has sunk so deep into their consciousness that they flow with it.its almost the same in Naija.wen u get to 20 the only prayer u get is for a husband.I am not saying its bad but there are other things that should be prayed for too in a lady’s life,there are other priorities,d importance given to marriage alone is alarming!
imperfectlyperfect92
September 27, 2013 at 5:10 am@Sandra,d truth is even those you think know themselves and carry themselves with dignity have one ragmuffin of a boyfriend dat treats them like trash and they don’t want to leave.its a puzzle to me for real..u r right there,women want a man that can be in charge as much as he loves them too,maybe that’s where d love of bad guys stem from.the bad guys lord it over them and takes charge and control of their lives but its always done in excess.where does d love still arise from? *me sef I don’t know*

September 30, 2013 at 2:38 pmno woman rilly wants to stay single… not afta u’ve had a feel of being wit a companion like the ladies on the news. The truth is , if u v feelings den somday u ‘ll nid som1 to call ur own. dem ladies wanting husbands is never wrong… as “marriage is a sacred n a very special union”. d problem is that no body wants to b a liabilty to no 1 again cos d economy is not friendly as it used 2. der r husbands everywer buh not all husbands av d capacity n means to kip a home running, so staying single until one is redi is kinda d rite tin to du. To som comments categorizing dem ladies as rubbish,yeye ,even laziness, and stuffs like dat… this is the tin… their major problem is loneliness and not d odas like som pips mite conclude, for if a crucial study is made on dese ladies u’ll find at dat loneliness has eaten deep into dia marrows…. for a lonely world which in dis case “a life wit @ a patna” to even sought opinion frm is a frustating n empty world . Even d “independent ladies” in their twenties n above will get to a point wen they jst cant stay alone buh wil nid som1 to call dia own n possibly dia husbands, unless u wish to join the sisterhood or b like d celebrity “oprah” who i beliv has a patna to cuddle r wen she feels lonely…, then plz pray 4 those ladies n not criticize dem as u r not in dia shoes.

September 30, 2013 at 7:31 pm@etohBrave,yes marriage is a good thing,it is desperation for it that’s wrong.it has caused many ladies to make wrong decisions.and the truth is marriage doesn’t cure loneliness,u av to be complete on ur own to be able to be in another persons life.marriage gives companionship but d truth is,it cannot fill d void inside u,it is wen u are a wholesome individual that u can provide companionship to another…we are just saying,weda u want to get married or not,let it be 4d ryt reasons,desperation and unnecessary rush has never done anyone any good

I’ve given u my answer,oya comment further

October 17, 2013 at 6:53 pmAv seen d ‘no’ I wanna see..the world is d way it is..ur physical look matters a lot.pls mention any unsual looking married man now that actually got married befored he became famous or popular..though it is adviced that all d qualities one wants in a man shld not all b captioned and based on his physical looks but his character but d truth is u can only get to know his character if his physical look is acceptable or manageable 2 u..in summary,if u look ‘somehow’ or ‘unusaul’concentrate on being famous,wealthy and successful b4 u think of marrying a ‘normal looking gal’ cuz that is d only time her love can be blind to ur unusual looks.harsh as it may seem(since its not d ‘victims’ fault that he was born with such physiacl challanges,hehehe)but it is d way it is..I totally support ur mum except d guy is has rich as bill gate,as famous as obama and as godly as pastor E.A Adeboye(heheheheheh)

October 17, 2013 at 7:25 pmOh,Sandie,your statement is worst than mumsi’s own ooo!
U do av a point,d physical attributes have to also appeal to us but if he doesn’t have that,do I then throw him away? What if his inner attributes makes him attractive in my eyes bt to d eyes of d world he’s “somehow”.shouldn’t I then listen to my own heart?

October 20, 2013 at 5:05 pmHilarious bus rides…I can relate…apparently, we both missed the heaven-circulated memo that stated a woman’s worth is only measured by her marital status…*sighs*….
To say i’m gutted at such insensitive,myopic opinions about “aged”unmarried ladies is an understatement….
In my opinion,marriage is a beautiful,God-ordained institution that admits two like-minded, similar purpose-driven persons who are committed to each other in love,honour and respect…living lives that please God, if a union doesn’t possess the aforementioned(not exhaustive in characteristics b.t.w) parameters, why intentionally set yourself up for a life of heartache, troubles and pain?…all because of societal/cultural expectations or the ticking of some biological clock… beats me!
That’s my submission dear…wishing you resplendent success in this new phase(NLS) of your life…

October 22, 2013 at 6:52 amI also shared my thoughts right there,u can check it.
But I really don’t think she has a problem,thr cud b a range of issues preventing her frm getting married.including no right man yet.and if dat b d case,it doesn’t translate into something being deathly wrong her life.
All other things maybe working out well for her,bt ofcourse to society,dey mean nothing if she’s not a mrs.
She should focus on her life and leave d society alone.sofar as she knows she is on track,she shud wait and chill,if d ryt one will come as I believe he would,she shudnt rush into anytin cuz of wat pple say.
I applaud her a lot by d way,its not easy to stand firm and not be swayed by human opinions bt I am assuming her man hasn’t come and if not,she shud wait,like d Bible says,”though it tarries,at d appointed time,it will come”(thr cud b other reasons y she isn’t yet married and if d sibling dat wrote dat cares so much abt it,she shud talk 2her sis abt it,in a caring way and not in condemnation dat she’s not married yet(dats so silly to me by d way,relegating women 2d background cuz dey r not mrs.)
Pls check my comment thr 4wat I really think,d above I am writing now r rambling thoughts,am in a haste to go out 4 day 2of registration.

It’s like the devil sets up stumbling blocks in ur way to steal ur joy. Unfortunately God always has a way of turning everything around to put a smile on ur face in the end. Thank God urs ended in favour. Have a splendid year in NLS and it will surely end in a bigger testimony!
NB: I still wonder why anybody will choose NLS Lagos over abuja…Abuja is still the best any day anytime 😀 😉

If I buy bottle water, I hardly finish it, that water will follow me home cos I don’t drink too water. I even think that am wasting the money so I decide to be buying 10 naira water(drink and throw away shekina!) But another thing be say mk u nor use am dirty our country ooo(put that for mind).

November 11, 2013 at 6:03 pmthanks a lot for this post! I guess God wanted me to read this, and that’s why I stumbled on your blog today. I’ve been having these ‘struggles’ too, and have had several men & ladies tell me my expectations are unrealistic. Just yesterday a married christian brother, who was supposed to be ‘advising’ me about this issue started making advances. Said I’m putting him off because I’m holding on to childish ideas about marriage. This morning I decided to just forget about marriage for a while, cos I was almost convinced the kind of man I want doesn’t exist. well, I’m encouraged by the fact that I’m not the only one waiting on God for such a man.
imperfectlyperfect92

The truth is,u r not alone,its not easy but stand firm on the word and not on what the world says.the word is ever true and always works.From the real examples I sited,u’ll see that ur “childish expectations” are not childish at all.they are some1 else’s reality,so why on earth can’t it be ur own reality too?

I realise that some pple will tell u even jewelry is bad and adding artificial hair extensions is a sin but on the other hand, I have also seen fab ladies that dress well and make their hair but are still totally infused with the Spirit of God in the inside.
I can’t say what’s wrong and what’s right,what I’ll say is read what the Bible says as regards dressing for women and pray that the Holy Spirit reveals what it really means to u.

November 21, 2013 at 10:06 amLove this!
Gone are the days when women were entirely dependent on men. I can even imagine how frustrating it would be if someone kept asking me for money for little things like maggi and pant…ah…ah! There’s no way that man can value you much. My grandmum used to be a major advocate of a woman having her own source of income no matter how small it is. It helps with sanity in the home. BTW men shld not now take it for granted that their wives have incomes and use it as a reason not to but her things. A woman would love and respect her man more when he provides for her. Afterall that’s his constitutional/biblical responsibility…lol

November 21, 2013 at 5:59 pmMen cannot comprehend the magnitude of a woman’s expenditure. If you’re buying a car or house, he will understand, but not makeup and those things that make us happy.

Both mothers and fathers have a huge role to play in turning sexism around.

It should start from the family circle. Fathers and Mothers,like E says,we have to raise better men.

December 23, 2013 at 4:20 pmyou know Frances,…I read this post out loud, something I don’t usually do, normally I would read through my eyes. At the end,..I bursted out in tongues and after 30secs or more,.I sed “Hallelujah” That’s all I can say, the Holy Ghost has sed all I needed to say in the Spirit.
One thing that I always find my self saying to me at points like this is “Hannah, It cannot get worse, that same spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in me,..what else do I need. But I must say to everyone that might find themselves at this point right now, “the path of the righteous is as a shinning light, it shineth brighter and brighter, unto that perfect day” Except you are not the righteous. But then again, WHY DID JESUS COME?.This consciousness must be birthed deep into your spirit and you’ll see that nothing can stop you and like I’ll always say to myself, “It is not over until you win”.
Thank you Frances, I could feel the need for you to spread this good news. I’m glad you are over that now. Those testimonies you shared on my post is just a tip of the Ice berg, God will def surpass your needs, in this coming year and that thing u are anticipating is not far, just kip speaking God’s word concerning you on that matter, and it will surface. kip watering your seed with his words and the harvest is surely near.

December 25, 2013 at 12:37 pmReading this I remember a post I did on my blog one time, I was down but I choose to believe that the storm would pass and that faith will prevail.
Sometimes depression and doubts just come to steal our Joy away and convince us that we aint up to standard and that God can’t really use us, But guess what? It’s all Lies. God’s word is final and will Surely Come to pass and NO MATTER THE SITUATION, God WILL MAKE IT ALL WORK OUT FOR GOOD.
Relax! Keep your faith.

December 29, 2013 at 5:16 pmWoah! Thanks E,I did check it out.
Guys that ask for sex before marriage with the added words of ‘if you love me you’ll have sex with me’ indeed need to chop hot slap.lol
Tis the reason why we should know that sex isn’t love,a guy really wants you+ is a godly guy like we should all have,he’ll wait.
Thanks E

December 29, 2013 at 4:32 pmMy heart just went all warm when I read your comment Tenderonii.thank u.

And just like you said, 2014,we are marching on…
emmytim
December 29, 2013 at 4:32 pmExplicitly true. There is no other way to the truth except head-on.
When u weigh the pleasures of sex with the Perfect plan/future God has 4u, you would spit in the face of any sex promoter.
The flesh in a christian is a chained tiger, but a tiger still. Don’t pet it. Walk in the Spirit.
imperfectlyperfect
December 29, 2013 at 5:38 pmAnd your comment is so true Emmytim,its basic common sense really, why throw away your great future cuz of something u can still get in the right time when you wait?
Walking in the spirit and fleeing from every temptation does it.
Thanks dear
tomiwaayonrinde
December 29, 2013 at 5:22 pmoh, those novels. they desensitize us and “awaken” love before it’s ready. we really need to set them aside. there are enthralling christian novel available to fill the gap. This is on point
imperfectlyperfect
December 29, 2013 at 5:42 pmAh yes the novels that sell sex as the next thing to do after meeting a man. Serve to do nothing but awaken emotions and fill thoughts with wrong notions of how relationships should be.
You are right Tomiwa, we really need to set them aside.

eniola prentice
December 29, 2013 at 10:45 pmIts a choice every believer has to make in their own time and its between them and God. No preaching or talk can change the soul or mind. It takes a resolute decision and the holy spirit’s help to stop. The worlds way has become the standard and it shouldn’t be.
imperfectlyperfect
December 30, 2013 at 10:59 amYes Eniola,the way the world’s standard is gradually seeping into believers is sad.
And yes,no preaching can make anyone stop except it comes from their own decision,but how can they make the decision except they hear the right thing? And how can they hear except its preached,like the word says in Romans 10:14-17- “But how can they call to him for help if they have not believed? And how can they believe if they have not heard the message? And how can they hear if the message is not proclaimed? And how can the message be proclaimed if the messengers are not sent out? As the scripture says, âHow wonderful is the coming of messengers who bring good news!â…
So then, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message comes through preaching Christ.(You can paraphrase d msg being preached to include keeping ourslvs pure for Christ)
We can only talk,and pray that the Holy Spirit water the words and make them yield good fruit.
Thanks for stopping by Eniola.
Yours Truly
December 30, 2013 at 2:36 amFrances, I’m so happy you posted it. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Corinthians 5:17) – the bible says it all. Lots of girls have made mistakes in the past, including me and I’m not proud of it at all. However, I have accepted Christ, and I’m a new being, but, sometimes the devil makes me feel guilty. Sometimes, I break down when I remember the past.
http://yourstrulyblogposts.blogspot.co.uk/
imperfectlyperfect
December 30, 2013 at 11:08 amYes yours truly, that why the question of “God has forgotten,but have you?” Comes in.
Satan tries to draw us in by filling us with feelings of guilt even though God has forgotten and forgiven it all. Satan knows that if he allows us walk in that newness of life,his hold is loosend on us so he will accuse us with our mind,oh he will…
But the bible says,”there is therefore NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in Christ Jesus and because you believe in Him,the power of the life giving spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death-(Romans 8:1-2)
I feel like bursting in tongues, yours truly, there is no condemnation on us anymore, we are cleansed, washed, its almost as if our sins never were, we can walk in christ in newness of spirit! Walk with this mindset dear,the past is gone,dead,buried!
And you can even use the past for God’s glory,after all he said,all things work for good of them who love him,your past can be used to draw men to christ,the young ones who have lost it,the new you now can be a testimony to them.
Let not the past let us drown in shame,no! Let it be an attestation to the goodness of God in our lives,to his love,to his grace.
The past is dead yours truly,it can’t speak as condemnation on u anymore,walk in this mindset. Much love

Old things are past away and just as God as forgives,so he forgets.
Secondary virginity isn’t easy but it’s very possible, one just has to be determined,rooted in Christ and his word, and stay away from anything and anyone that can entice you.

James Melbin
January 4, 2014 at 12:01 pmOur God is a great God!
He promises us greatness,
He promises us ‘greaterness’,
yesterday, people look us with a ‘small eye’,
today, they look up to us with ‘big eye’,
tommorow, when God is done,
they’ll look up up to us with a bigger eye.
Yes!
Our Daddy (He is our daddy, remember, Eloxie’s pos),
He has promised us greaness,
and He is fulfilling His promises,
we wont settle for less,
(even if we want to,
he wont let us).
Nah!
The once shy guy,
Has been made bold in Christ,
that’s not all,
he will be made bolder.
The once weak,
has been made strong in Christ,
no, that’s not all,
he will be made stronger.
That’s our heritage-
slowly, steadily,
He’ll mold us into a better person,
whom He wants us to be.
Then people will see the light in us,
and they’ll give glory to our God in heaven.
Let’s keep boasting in the greatness of God.
imperfectlyperfect
January 4, 2014 at 1:22 pmWow James, truthfully,your comment just made more strengthened in the fact and faith that God has promised us greatness and He will deliver. He sure will!

January 6, 2014 at 12:01 pmBeautiful…..The waiting part may be tough but then U can be sure about testifying!
And then my personal meme psalm34:5 : Those who look to him are radiant, they faces are never covered with shame is another reason to stay on the good course…

January 7, 2014 at 3:20 pmVery timely this beginning of year. Brings another scripture to mind…
Weary not yourself to be rich; cease from your own [human] wisdom. Will you set your eyes upon wealth, when [suddenly] it is gone? For riches certainly make themselves wings, like an eagle that flies toward the heavens. Proverbs 23:4-5 AMP
Nuff said!

January 9, 2014 at 6:39 pmYahoo Yahoo is still a thing? Really? What a world! But again, we all should examine our desires if it lines up with what God wants for us. Love the scripture you put up: Psalm 73 “…Then I went into your sanctuary, O God,
and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked.”
It’s easy to get lost in the throes of “hustling” but trust God to always “open our eyes” when we go back to Him.

January 9, 2014 at 7:28 pmAh,yes worshipandswag, yahoo yahoo is still a big business,still large…

January 14, 2014 at 4:25 pmVery inspiring! The work part must be added on to the bricks of getting to greatness. Unfortunately the enemy tricks us with laziness, half baked work or complacency in the working, and many times procrastination.
What best way to enter that greatness but to spend time with Greatness Himself, Jehovah? And then diligence to that which is necessary…
Thanks for this inspiration!

We won’t go further than those people…
So we need to carefully chose them.
I think I have heard pastor jumoke preach.

January 24, 2014 at 9:19 amThe part I love the most ” if u see anything good happening….” remember PM stressed this that day and I promised to disturb her wellla this year…
It strikes me heavily that a lot of forwards will be related to rships and so I am working really hard on mine seeing as I have always been a loner with no inner circle…
Pls what time is Nathaniel Bassey coming biko? Cant miss out on that kind of worship experience.
And yes I should just subscribe already..
Good work girl…..
P.s we better start planning our thxgiving party for the end of 2014.
imperfectlyperfect92
January 24, 2014 at 10:01 amYes o Tanni, we should live forth in gratitude from now cuz this 2014 eh, like E says, satan will wince in pain from all God will do in our lives..
God will help us work on it, I was a loner for a while too, still am sometimes, I only allow few people come in but this year,I must glean from blessed people oo. Compulsory!
And I didn’t mention it in the post? Nathaniel bassey is an exco in our youth church o,so he is ALWAYS around. he has been ministering in the programme since it started on tuesday. Today sef is pentecost service,we are trusting God that we’ll bask in the spirit and He will descend on us today. Please make it if you can, you are welcome….*big smiles*
And thanks for subscribing babes *high fives*

January 27, 2014 at 2:53 amIt is definitely the time to start the weeding process so the weeds don’t choke up the good plants.
I once heard a pastor say that every thing we need to know about “fellowship and eternity” is encapsulated in our relationships with humans. And if we can’t practice getting along as humans, workers in the vineyard, living everyday life following the statutes of God, we can’t fully experience the glory of what God describes about the hosts of heaven in the Book of Revelations.
Oh how I wish to be there with you guys @ the program! Do enjoy, and continue to share your experiences with us 🙂
imperfectlyperfect92
January 29, 2014 at 8:38 pm“every thing we need to know about “fellowship and eternity” is encapsulated in our relationships with humans.”… I’ve realised that this is just it!

i can say you started expressin love when you could understand its concept n ways of expressing it. It could be as tender as possible but love with “ur mr cutie”, i could say 15 years old.

emmytim
February 10, 2014 at 11:10 amVery nice and considerate way to spend the Val. You know, sometimes we rush through the hustle&bustle of everyday life overlooking the ‘little people’ who have been made little by a lack of economic significance, disease, disability & voicelessness. And i believe like you rightly said, even a little kindness/help would surely do much to bring sunlight into their gloomy existence & make them feel that they are part of the society & can still achieve their dreams, may even draw a tear.
I have heard of places where they thank you everyday for a #500 naira gift (yeah!).
Like Mother Theresa said, when you help the less privileged, each of your five fingers echo Jesus words; “You did it to me”.
P.S: i think you were 17 about turning 18 but still 17!

February 10, 2014 at 11:43 pmLove is the highest calling and the most acceptable sacrifice. I agree with Lizzie ,we should share love beyond a particular date. Its human to be selfish and think of just ourselves but when we start extending love to others without expecting anything in return,God is pleased.
God bless u bigly Frances,I pray your visit to those children will change the course of their destiny.
Now to the giveaway, Frances you know this is not fair o! your first crush? haba! How am I going to know when I had my first crush when I was nine. Don’t blame me o! D boy was very fine and brilliant. lol

February 12, 2014 at 9:58 amTo answer your question, you were old enough. Lol 😛
You raised solid points. I’ve never understood the idea of building castles in the air with a man you most certainly know can’t be yours. Why pin and yearn for him on vals day? Abeg let the love of God shine through jare!

February 13, 2014 at 6:52 pmI got this from Nathaniel Bassey’s Page on facebook and coupled with yours above, you couldn’t have said it better!
Come 14th February, a loveless world would celebrate LUST, in the name of LOVE. To them, the gust of testosterone and estrogen surging through the male and female body, leading to wild sex drives and uncontrolled libido, is LOVE. And as a result, sexual immorality would be at it’s peak that day and days preceding and even after it.
Billions of dollars in income and profit would be raked in from sales of goods and services world over. Corporate bodies and businesses smart enough to seize the moment would engineer, psychologically, the appetites and desires of consumers to spend using subtle and aggressive marketing techniques, all in the name of “LOVE”
But as Christians, called to be salt and light in a fallen world, we cannot join the rave, rather we must seek the Lord to save, by the power of the Holy Spirit, men and women on the path of hell and eternal damnation, as we seize the opportunity to introduce Christ Jesus – LOVE personified – to those we come in contact with that day. Praying and believing that every spiritually blind and lost soul will encounter the love of Christ which passes knowledge and that which truly fills and satisfies in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
Secondly, me I no know the age where you begin look say you dey feel one kind..lol, and so let me just pass this giveaway by. but you sef, which kind of algebraic question is this? me i no like am oo…
And may the love of Christ shine through us all always! kisses

February 13, 2014 at 7:44 pmWowzer!!! Frances, this is the point where you (using your legal acumen) request a custom-made “Like” button from WordPress for Glowingscene’s comment.
My word!
