#ThankfulThursday: Life lately

Posted by Tomi O on Thursday, August 21, 2014 with 12 comments

Has this month been fast or what? Welcome to August(as its just a new month at the foot of the hill x_x) I do not want to agree that I have been lethargic about this blog, I blame the rain - we have to blame something. Honestly, I wish I had a good excuse for 'ignoring' this space but I don't. Its really just hard to get back into the blogging grind, but gradually I will get back there. So, Welcome!!

What am I thankful for this week?


- Prayers of the heart that God answers; You know those ones that comes from your private conversation with God and you can't even say out because it either doesn't make sense or looks unrealistic. The amazing thing is, God listens. I will not call myself a ghen-ghen-spirikoko-always-on-point-sombori but I see God pay attention to the details of the things I say in our private times and bring those desires to life. Its simply awesome!

- Journals; I can get very forgetful and I don't remember alot of details that I even forget to write down my thoughts most of the time but when I do and re-read I am shocked at the things that go through my mind. I am grateful for my mind, memories made and ability to put them into writing.

- Friends that are happy when you are; I always say ¨The Lord knows how to make me happy when he makes my friends happy¨ but its also comforting to know that its also the other way around. Ayomiku, Kovie and Kunle top the list this week. Specially grateful for the friends that social media brought my way! Treasure, I tell you.

- Plans and to-do lists: I am one of those people that feel chaotically organized until I write down a to-do list and this week, Ive had the strength to check everything on my to-do list, its like auto-cruise. Chai, God is good! Finally feel like I can do all things :)

- Masai Blanket; In the absence of my duvet, I have been using my spare bedsheet to cover myself in this cold times (ez nor an easy something) which mostly never does the job. My souperstar gave me a blanket this week and the cold cannor hold me back again. Halleluyah somebori? I just wish I could carry it to work. Im asking for too much, I know.

Thats the tip of the blanket. Lovely colour pattern too :) 
Peace; The Bible says ¨The peace that passeth ALL understanding¨ AHa! I never understood till it became evident in Feb/March and since then Ive always prayed/searched within for that peace in everything i need to do or any decision I need to make. Oh! God's peace. I pray you experience it in ways you've never in Jesus name. 

Giant leaps of faith; I have exciting news coming up soon! before the end of the year. Cant wait. 

Church Community; Joined HCCC during the first quarter of the year and I have experienced a serious shift in paradigm, growth in my walk with God, growth in a knowledge of his word and who HE is and most importantly a sense of purpose, met and watch people live out the life of Christ like I've never seen before. Its an amazing journey.  Started the journey to become an official member of the church and I couldnt be more happier about it. 


Growing Afro; Yes! Can't wait for my hair to be longer. :)
AFRO!!! ALL MINE :p

- Skies and sunrises; The rain has been going on non stop -___- I don't gerrit. But once I see the sunrise, my heart leaps and I bring out my phone and click away!

Love this view!!
