I Am Simply Phury wrote about God’s Grace that saw her through a difficult time and is still available to her, daily!
“I tell God everyday how i promise not to be naughty or engage in any sexual activities of any kind. But next thing I'm kissing some guy with really beautiful lips or dreaming about licking another. And yet with all my short comings I'm still loved by God. I bet when i have conversations with him, he chuckles every time. I bet he thinks 'Phury, what would i do with you'? I grin sometimes when i imagine him too. And i love to tell him how utterly graceful, loving, forgiving, honest and slow to anger he is. When i feel like his patience may be running out with me, i get on my knees and pray to him. I apologise for being a naughty girl, I apologise for being proud, I remind him that just because i haven't prayed doesn't mean that i don't love him with all my heart. I apologise for not going to church or paying my tithes. Then i thank him for his patience, my family and for life but most especially for sending Jesus to die for me. I ask him for strength to fight temptations and he gives me that. He always gives me that benefit of doubt. I pray for my enemies, which is a big deal as I've only just learned the act of forgiveness. Its a given that he knows my future and sees into my heart. But honestly, where would we all be without his grace? I'm a sinner. I know this. He understands this”
“Who Is He?
On His mother's side He was hungry but on His father's side He is the bread of life
On His mother's side He was thirsty but on His father's side He is the living water
On His mother's side He was been nailed to the cross but on my father's side He rose again
On His mother's side He slept on the boat but on my father's side He commands the storm in the sea
On His mother's side He died and was buried in the grave but on His father's side He raise the dead from graves”.
Two posts, two questions...
Where would we all be without God’s grace?
What if God got tired of forgiving us?

It was Prince William's and Kate Middleton's wedding yesterday and with the kinda of media coverage the Royal Wedding recieved, its no wonder a lotta folks didnt get to hear about the tornado incidents in Alabama, USA. Lightherlamp brings a whole new perspective to it with When Foundations Are Destroyed. My prayers of with the families affected in that devastation!
You look difficulty in the eye and you are Smiling through it, you are soooo winning! Check out Diary of an Unpaid Intern.
It Happens by Lily Johnson....Ladies, read!!
As usual, GISTDOTCOM addresses an important issue: The Power in Words with the post If Na Joke...
Excerpts from the post: "I know parents who bless their kids even when they are so pissed. Instead of yelling ”you stupid boy, with your head like coconut”! Its much more constructive to yell “you this blessed boy, with your head like that of a king”…I’ve heard parents say this, and believe me I laughed!!! Retrospectively, I think they actually know what they are doing….you can’t call your son Coconut head and then expect a coconut head to carry first in class."
Bissel, a little bits of this and that byThirdWorldProfashional. Y'all know TWP...she brings IT always but this post is most important because of....see below:
"P:S....If you read my blog frequently, you might remember a post I wrote in January called "Christmas, Reunions and New Year". In that post I mentioned reuniting with my friends from Queen's College when we attended the 50th birthday of the mother of one of us, Omowunmi Fosudo. This was just in December. Recently Omowunmi's mum who just celebrated her 50th birthday, a joyous celebration that had all her children flying in from different destinations, was diagnosed with cancer. Unknown to the family she had been living with cancer for a while and by the time she was diagnosed, it had progressed to Stage 3. Now the doctors at the University of Texas MD Cancer Center where she was diagnosed need to operate in 7 days or who knows what might happen. Because Mrs. Fosudo is uninsured, this operation will cost her family $60,000, which is about N9,000,000.
I'm writing all this because since yesterday when Omowunmi's brother Debo launched the campaign to raise the money aided by friends and family, some people have been thinking its a scam. I don't blame them because the kind of world we live in, such things are very possible and probably do happen, but I'm writing this to make it as personal for you as it is for me, to let you know these are real people going through a very real ordeal.
So far $31,627 has been raised, we're halfway there, no amount is too little, even N500 will go a long way. If you can help a family save their mother, you know your reward will be in heaven. These are the donation points.
1) You can pay at https://www.wepay.com/donate/92676
2) In Nigeria, pay at GTB #201101370110, name: Ade-Fosudo.
3) Paypal: aade-fosudo@uh.edu
Any little thing, 10 dollars, 10 naira, 10 pounds. Just help out anyway you can. She needs this surgery in 7 days, 7 days. It is not a joke, it is not a scam, this is a real person. Please find it in your heart to help.
Thank you."
Please help a family save their mother! PLEASE DONATE!!! Thank you!

Earlier in the day, i had planned to just lounge and catch up on things: play with the kids, watch movies, and maybe do a blogpost or two! But that wasnt to be! Unlike last week saturday, my conscience wouldn't just let me be!!! Today is realllllllly important, it said! So, i dressed up, made my way to my polling unit, got accredited, went to my fav neighbourhood hangout Goatmasters to chill with the Hubby and his friends, listened to their bar-room politics and when it was time, went to perform my civic duty!!! Don't ask me how i voted for! Tres irrelevant at this point!
Anyways still on the election topic, This Week in Blogsville features the non-conformist blogger UgoDre with this post On Election Eve: Thoughts on Nigeria and the Tears of a General. Very insightful and nicely written but i'm guessing that at the point this post was written, lots of minds have been made up. Read it though...no information is a weiiste!
Moving on....
It Was YNC's Birthday, April 15 Happy belated birthday, YankeeNaijaChic. Hope you had a blast! Much love, chica!!!
So, i discovered Damie's blog Stylishevafter a couple of weeks ago. Her post My Generation...My Fashion is just the thing for young, talented, upandcoming Nigerian designers! The world is yours if well armed....

Anyways, Blogsville is such as interesting place! Scratch that...wait, i wanna scratch that literally:
It was a shame i didnt have any post up this week {i blame it on my internet something} but im gonna redeem myself by providing links to those blogs that did post some this week....every single one of these posts, y'all will love.
Oya, tell me thank you in advance!!!
GISTDOTCOM is such a hilarious blog! That and the fact that its mostly written in pidgin english sorta doubles the fun. That being said, if thou art an employer of househelps, you should check out Sisi_Yemmie's How To Tell When Your Housegirl is About to Yapa! Its hilarious, yes but it addresses an issue that i know has troubled many women, me inclusive. Also, a man is at cross-road after his wife loses both ovaries; What Should He Do?
Jaycee of Lightherlamp never fails to inspire me! i know i have a lot to be thankful for; the question though is What Are You Thankful For?
Last week sunday was Mothers' Day {dunno which but i WILL celebrate alla them...catholic o, anglican o, pentecostal o...as long as its called Mothers' Day! Its no mean feat being a mother!!!} Cherry Chatter's Happy Mothers' Day post is such a sweet and innocent one...it touched me! A Waste of Lives brough tears though, the kind that could only be caused by pain...the length these policians would go to acquire money and power! Smh
House is such a psychotic doctor but iDigress...again!
Speaking of politicians, its election day in Nigeria today. If you are nigerian and you qualified to vote, here are 10 Reasons To Vote by Bella Naija. So, go out and vote! Its in Style!!!
So, you tried to organise your jewelries but somehow, everything gets mixed up again? Well, if you haven't given up hope like i have, YNC's post Learning To Organize Your Jewelries should be of great help! Seriously!
Stay At Home Mom, to be or not to be? WorkingMomJournal's The Stay At Home Lawyer Mom should put things in perspective...to some extent!
Razz Is The New Cool posted Randoms About the Menfolk and even though ThirdWorldProfashional hasnt any new post, her post Buy The Cow kinda expantiated on one of those randoms Original Mgbeke yarned about!
Finally, she really needs your help so, Dear God, Please Help Waila! posted by WailaCaan. Hilarious post...i laughed all through...still laughing for that matter. Yeye gehl...

One of my favourite things to do in recent times is certainly blogwalking a.k.a blogsurfing a.k.a browsing other blogs and i must say, there are many creative young folks out there. Starting today, and possibly every Saturday, i'm going to provide links to blogposts that inspired me and made me laugh and taught me something new. Hope you enjoy them as much as i did!!!
Stella's Addiction was the first make-up blog i visited and her love for the world of Make-Up impressed the pants off my large behind! I love her dedication; i love her committment; i love her in-depth product reviews. Check out Stella's post on How to spot fake Black Opal stick foundation if you use the product and you would be glad you did.
ThirdWorldProfashional is another blog i love to read..... the chic is a looney but she's my fav looney! She didnt have any post this week but Adaku made a few people proud (this week) because She was the Fashion Bomb of the Day, March 30 You go, girl!
You reside in Lagos and you've never heard of DealDey or you have but you dont know whats up with it? Well, here's All You need to know about DealDey by the blog Diary of an Exschoolnerd.
Felt refreshed after reading this blog LightaLamp{discovered it yesterday}. Jaycee made me realize how much i miss God! Life shouldnt be all about money and things money can buy; it should also be about how many people we helped in our time here! i hope What if this is Filthiest of Places? ministers to you as it did me!
I love the idea Praise Thursday by the blog Diary of an Unpaid Intern. Check her out!
This week, the blog Askchacha4free answered the question Why do People experience Disappointment? Free answers to Your questions sounds like a good deal to me!
Finally, check out this hilarious post An Eye for an Eye by Waila caan. The heart of kids...who can know it???!
So, did you like this post? Let me know what you think!
NB: KAYLA STILL NEEDS OUR PRAYERS, NOW MORE THAN EVER!!
