Quotes by Lulu...

My Darlings, Hw una dey?? I'm doing great...At some point today I took a closer at the Calendar and realized that we are already in the last weekend of November, 2010!!! Isn't this God amazing?? I remember vividly January 1st 2010, and despite all that has happened this year; I can only be thankful to Him for bringing me this far. He has been exceptionally wonderful and though there are a bunch of my prayer requests that haven't been answered, I thank Him all the same because 35days is more than enough time for My God to get them all answered!!

Whilst going down memory lane recently, I stumbled upon some quotes I wrote and I will be sharing some of them with you every Friday till the end of the year, the series will be titled "Quotes by Lulu" :) Please note that I'm not a professional, so be gentle if you have to criticize me :) Basically, the quotes are a reflection of what I felt at the time they were written. I hope that we will learn a thing or two from them...

- You have no idea of the greatness within me, if you did; you'll handle me with care
-  Life is a school, you decide on the number of degrees you wish to attain
-  For all the times I ran away, He loved me even more. Does that make me want to keep running away? NO!! ...because every time I was away, I missed HIM even more
-  I've come to realize that the word "friend" has been abused; an "accomplice" is sometimes more sincere than some friends
-  You can have a "blueprint" of how your life should be but make sure to first seek the approval of "The Architect"
- "If it worked for her, it should work for me"... So UNTRUE!!!! Why?...because I'm a different specimen, I have my own unique composition!

There are more from where that came from :) As mentioned earlier, I will continue the series next Friday. I know that the quotes may be "crude" but i sincerely hope that we can learn something from them. Have a wonderful and fun weekend!!! Please don't forget to also thank "The Architect" of our lives for bringing you this far... It is by His grace that we live. Love U loads!!!!


Stay Strong!

Finishing Strong!

Hello Darlings! I'm so sorry about my long absence, hopefully that will change from now on. A whole lot has happened since the last time I blogged and it will take a much longer time to "fill you in" but rest assured that you'll get the 'gist' soon :)

I stumbled upon a 'write up' I did in 2009 (20/8/09 precisely) and I decided to share it with you. Enjoy...


No one to speak to so I write,
Hoping it will ease the burden that I bear,
The burden of uncertainty and fear for the future,
In anticipation for the best, I wait patiently,
But gradually this 'wait" is beginning to wear me out,
Some call it Impatience, I call it an endless wait,
Just when I think i've scaled the hurdle,
Something creeps up, reminding me that I've only just begun,
So I ponder, ... if it always seems like the beginning, how am I expected to run this race called "life" and "finish strong"??
Surely, I'm not here to remain at the "beginning",
Whilst I juggle those thoughts in my head, I'm reminded that the race is not to the swift...
It's not all about "starting well" but more importantly, about "finishing strong",
...So i relax, knowing that for as long as there's "life", I'll have the opportunity to fulfil my purpose,
...perhaps all these hurdles are to equip me for the race,
...perhaps, once I get past the beginning successfully; "finishing strong" will be a 'piece of cake',
I am also reminded that His ways are not our ways,
...that His thoughts for us are of good and not of evil,
...that He knows the end of a thing before it begins,
...that He knew us before we were born,
So I look back and say... No matter how much time I spend in the beginning phase, with HIM the end will be great!


Stay Strong!
