1. God is faithful...He is always on time!!
2. Frugal living can be fabulous living...you seriously don't have to spend a lot of money to get great stuff.
3. I have started working out again more consistently and I believe that so long as I make small attainable goals, I will be able to reach an even greater goal in Jesus' name. I praying for that sassy 4 pack..lol...whatever.. I just want a flat belly!!
4. Hillary Duff has awesome style. I was looking at her style profile in People Style magazine the other day and I decided that I definitely want to take some tips from her. She knows how to keep it stylish and modest all at the same time... love it. Open toe booties are not looking bad at all.
5. I think wedding dresses with sleeves are making a comeback. Ivanka Trump, Donald Trumps daughter just got married the other day and her dress was designed by Vera Wang with Grace Kelly as the inspiration. It was a such a lovely dress. I honestly think when my time comes to get married, I might consider a style with sleeves. I think the strapless styles have been over done. But they are still nice regardless.
6. Loneliness can be painful...aching... frustrating. Sometimes, you get this feeling like you are all alone in the world and nobody cares. Last night, I had this minor feeling of loneliness. It's hard to admit because you always want to come off as being strong and independent, but honestly , I just felt a wave of sadness which was followed by a flood of other emotions. I just had to say a quick prayer and confess positive things before I allowed my thoughts to get the better of me. There is a song that I think about every time I feel lonely , the lyrics go like this " In the quiet, in the stillness, I know that you are God..." . Those words are so true...and truth be told, I always feel better after praying. Loneliness is temporary but the power of the word of God is eternal.
7.I am loving this weather. I love the cool breeze, the brown and golden fall leaves and the extra hour of sleep that we get because of the Daylight's savings time.
8. Got to see Micheal Jackson's THIS IS IT movie this weekend with my sister. I have to say that it really was a pleasant experience watching Micheal Jackson in his element. He was such a gifted and talented man. A music genius and an entertainer 24/7. Even when the music wasn't playing, MJ would just bust a move and wiggle his fingers as though the music was still playing..but in his head. Such a gifted man but yet such a tortured soul. I wish he had lived a more peaceful and stressless life...but I thank God he blessed us with such amazing talent. RIP MJ. On a sidenote, there is this chick in the movie who does the guitar solo for the song Beat it. THIS CHICK WAS CRAZY...on point!! She was just head to toe coolness!!! Made me wish I could rock out like that. Maybe that is something I can learn to do in my spare time...or not!! Haha!
9. I miss Nigeria, miss Aba, miss my old home... I miss everything about my home country. Motherland, when will I see you again??
10. I love 80's pop. I am so sorry but Thomas Dolby's " Blinded me with science" is one of the awesome songs I remember for my childhood. It was pretty much one of the coolest songs ever. I am a child of the 80's.. I can't resist. However, I just hope to the Lord that shoulder pads, high tops and neon tights never make a comeback...not my portion!!!
11. I need to find a way to wean my sweet tooth. If cupcakes and chocolate were an essential part of the food pyramid, I would be a happy camper. But it is not...so I need to pray for grace to starve my desire for them.
12. I know that I like to write but I am considering trying out new hobbies. I have always been interested in taking pictures and just photography in general..especially black and white photography. I believe that one's true beauty can be captured in black and white. I have been meaning to get a new camera..one that can take better pics..but I am just gonna have to wait for that.
13. You know how when you are learning a new language, there is a part where you learn to have conversation. Like Conversational French or Spanish. If there were one for Igbo, I would be signed up in heart beat. While I can speak Igbo decently enough ( that really is a stretch, it really is not as good as it could be unfortunately) and I know my grammar and how to construct sentences, I feel like having a conversation that flows with other Igbo speaking people is like pulling teeth with out anesthetic.
14. I love my 734 girls. There is really nothing like having a community of believers who pray for you, laugh with you and who bless your life. I am so blessed.
15. *sigh* I hate having crushes. I know some girls get all giddy and bubbly inside when they see the object of the interest. For me, its the complete opposite. It is stressful for me. My take of this weird phenomenon is that if it is not for real, if I can't have a relationship with this person, then what is the point of having all this rush of emotions for. Its a waste of time. I am a sensitive person. I feel like I have love to offer but I don't want to have the feeling of love blossoming when it is really is not the real deal. I would rather wait for God to send me the right one so that I don't have to deal with all the roller coaster , shaky, giddy feels. Call me weird...call me crazy..but that is the truth for me.
16. I love Grey's anatomy. Each new episode gets better and better. Funny enough, I can count on my one hand how many shows I watch..and to be honest with you.. I like it like that!!!
17. Lately, I have been thinking of a Maid of honor for my wedding. It is so weird how girls think about the wedding day plans even before there is a prospect in sight. The other day my mom asked me if I knew who would be my maid of honor. If my sister weren't so young ( She's 16 y'all) let say she were about 24 or 25, yeah , she would be my maid of honor. Its so unfortunate that the some people in my life that I have held so dear have turn out to disappoint me. I used to think that I had someone who would be my maid of honor but she ended up disappointing me. We are no longer friends...but trust me, that is more that ok. I am better off :)! As the years have come and gone, I have always had people I was really close too , then we would drift apart because of distance or something else. I believe when my time comes to walk down the aisle, I will have someone in my life who I can entrust with that kind of a responsibility and she will be able to do it with all her heart because she loves me and wants the best for me.
17. I have fallen in love with JJ Heller's song " Your hands". It is the sweetest yet honest song I have heard in a while. If you have the chance to listen to it, do. They play it regularly on KSBJ...one of the many treasures I have discovered on that station. Oh and Hillsongs' " Your name high" is awesome..makes me want to jump up and down.
18. I have this thing about Dollar stores. Whenever I am in there, I just want to walk down the aisles and look at all things that are for a "dollar or less". You would be amazed at all the cool stuff they sell..however..beware of tooth paste and canned goods!!
19. I have been having a taste for carrot and ginger soup lately. Think I might make some.
20. Trying to find balance is hard. A part of me wants to be the one who goes out and does stuff and a part of me enjoys solitude, peace and no drama. I am constantly battling the two tensions that are pulling me. I need to pray for strengh.
21. I am single yet I am so content. I pray for contentment everyday. I want to learn, enjoy and accomplish what I need to in this season. I want to be satisfied where the Lord has me now. If we keep reaching for the next best high, we will never truly live in the moment.
That's all I have for now...stay blessed!

The guitar players name is Orianthi. She has been featured in a lot of magazines since MJ died.
Why can't one of your 734 girls be a maid of honor?
