You Know Her?

Hey guys, how have you been? Today, I'm going to tell you about my role model. I love this woman. But then, that probably goes without saying. I mean, she IS my role model. If you knew her you would love her too. Everyone who knows her does. She is such an inspiration. I do not really know anyone like her. She is in a league of her own. Oh! I just want to be like her.

I should tell you her name and how to meet her. Yeah, you could actually meet her. Isn't that great? A role model you could actually meet. Her name....drum rolls please.....her name is.....err.....ah, I don't know her name o. But I'd tell you what I call her - The Proverbs 31 Woman. Ehen! Now you get the gist? You know her? You don't? If you don't know her....well, you now know where to find her. Yes. In Proverbs 31, from verse 10 down.

For the lazy...sorry....busy ones here, I have decided to copy and paste her story from the New Living Translation of YouVersion Bible here. Read, be inspired, and emulate, Ladies.

Here......
10 Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies. 11 Her husband can trust her,
and she will greatly enrich his life. 12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life. 13 She finds wool and flax
and busily spins it. 14 She is like a merchant’s ship,
bringing her food from afar. 15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household
and plan the day’s work for her servant girls. 16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it;
with her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She is energetic and strong,
a hard worker. 18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable;
her lamp burns late into the night. 19 Her hands are busy spinning thread,
her fingers twisting fiber. 20 She extends a helping hand to the poor
and opens her arms to the needy. 21 She has no fear of winter for her household,
for everyone has warm clothes. 22 She makes her own bedspreads.
She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns. 23 Her husband is well known at the city gates,
where he sits with the other civic leaders. 24 She makes belted linen garments
and sashes to sell to the merchants. 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and she laughs without fear of the future. 26 When she speaks, her words are wise,
and she gives instructions with kindness. 27 She carefully watches everything in her household
and suffers nothing from laziness. 28 Her children stand and bless her.
Her husband praises her: 29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
but you surpass them all!” 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised. 31 Reward her for all she has done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

My Name is...........

Hey guys! Been a while, huh? Trying times for my family, but we're going to pull through. I bless God for the gift of life, family and friends. Yeah, but most of all I bless God for being God in my life and family. The enemy attacked, but the battle is the Lord's and victory is sure.

I was just thinking how God is really the only One you can depend on. The truth is, no matter how caring a friend is, he can not always be there for you. God's been my solace these trying times. I've had to walk around, smile, work, gist like all was well because you know what, all is well!


Let me take some time to talk about the meaning of my name. My birth name is Onyebuchi. It is actually a short version of a longer version. You do not want to be calling your child a whole sentence, hence the shortening. The literal meaning of the name is, 'who is God?'. But no, the name is not asking who God is. Usually, when I tell people the meaning of my name they go, " God is the Almighty......". Then I have to start explaining. My name is asking a question quite alright , but not that one. The answer to the question my name asks is....NOBODY. My name asks, "who is God among men?" or "who is God among his peers?".


God alone is God! All over. Not just among men and his peers. In the heavens and the earth. He alone has the final say in my life, my family, concerning my destiny. So, I'm rest assured in my God. The enemy can attack. The storm can rage. But only the counsel and the will of God will come to pass. He's been there for me. He will not fail me now. He is God!



Enjoy this music video and be blessed.

Between Me and Whizkid

So my dear friend had a dream in which she saw me get married to Whizkid. It was all over the news, she said. Why wouldn't it be? It was 'moi' getting married! Hehehe. When she called to tell me about the dream, I laughed and laughed. Whizkid? From where? And seriously? I could do better for myself. He is Whizkid. Underline 'kid'. Okay, I know he's a Celeb and all. Who wouldn't love to marry a Celeb? Don't get me wrong o. Nothing wrong with him, he just aint the man for me.

So let us interprete the dream, shall we? Apparently, wedding bells in the air for me :). Yelz.. And, I'm going to be marrying a Celebrity? :]Y. My wedding's going to be a society wedding? If my mom has anything to do with it, it will be. I'm getting married to a Whiz kid, not the Whizkid? It may very well be :).

Bottom line is ; Whizkid or no Whizkid, I'm getting married. Yay! So, watch this space guys....wedding coming soon.

Chaste is Boring

Did I actually type that for my heading? Well, that's what I'm hearing. What used to be a virtue is now a taboo, in this day and age where the normal is abnormal and vice-versa.
The girls hardly spare any thought for chastity and the men......the men don't even want to marry virgins.

 So, you are a virgin? You are so old school. Ha! There must be something wrong with you. You are not having sex? No sleep-overs at some guy's place? Are you gay? That's it! Maybe you do girls.

Good Lord! I am so tired of all these kind of talk. Can we please go back to the times when people waited till they were married before they had sex? Can we please go back to the days when chastity was appreciated and not scorned? Can we please go back to the days when Ladies did not dress to bare all?! Ladies! I need some help here. The days when a man would see a woman and sex would be the furthest on his mind?

Ha!
I am tired of men painting women as sex objects and women living up to the status. Even dying in the process. Biko nu, ozugo! Bring back the days when remaining chaste till marriage was not seen as a near impossibility by many. Bring back the days when a young girl would rather be chaste than chased. The days when chaste was not boring!

Thank you.

Is Age Really Just A Number?

There seems to be an endless debate on age difference between couples. Does it really not matter that a 23 year old woman marries a 50 year old man, or vice-versa?

I think it depends on the individuals involved. The motive and reason for the union. If you are a woman who does not have any qualms with marrying a younger man, and one proposes to you, by all means go ahead. If you are a 23 year old woman and you want to marry a 60 year old man, for the right reasons, fine.

Personally, I believe that if God through His Word or His Spirit does not frown at it, there is nothing wrong with it. The Bible even records cases where age difference between couple was quite much. There's the case of Ruth and Boaz. See Ruth 3:10. There was also David in 1 Kings 1:1-4, where a young damsel was brought to minister to him in his old age.  
It is true that there was no clear case of a man marrying an older woman, it does not mean it did not happen. Even if it did not happen in Bible days, it was not and is still not a sin.

So, I comes down to personal preference, motive and reason. Is age just a number? I have said my piece, over to you.

What Do You Want?

What do people really want? Do you know? Does anybody know?
I've noticed that people can hardly be pleased. I remember when I was a bit overweight(I was a size 12, that's overweight for me). My Aunt would say something like 'which kind fat be this?'. My mom thought I was too big. My friends went 'you should watch your weight'. Infact, everyone was talking, dad, uncle, even those that had no business talking to me about my weight.

Then, I started to lose weight, gradually till I started to swim in my old clothes. They began again. My Dad would hold me by the hand, take a good look at me and say 'this girl, are you even eating?' My mom went 'you are too dry'. I reminded them that they thought I was too fat before.

Recently, I was talking with my mom about age difference between couples. I said age was just a number and that it did not matter if the woman was a few years older than the man. She didn't want to hear it o. She disqualified a friend of mine who she actually liked when she found out I was about 3 months older than him. Then she meets another friend who is about 10 years older and thinks he's too old. What does she want?

Really, just what do people want? Well, I've also learnt that I can't please everybody. So, if it makes me happy and my God does not have any problems with it, I'd do it. I can't take everything people say now, can I?

By the way, anyone that has discovered a way to please everyone should tell me.

Ciao.....
