06 July Such a long time.....................WOW, it's been a long time since i wrote a blog. Much much too long. A LOT has transpired. Thus i will take some time to write this blog, so please be patient with me.
This year did not particularly start off to well. My grandfather went on to his heavenly home on the 13th of January 2006,
 . He was so special to me. God only takes the best for his garden. My grandfather was a great man. He was a God fearing man. So strong in his faith towards the Lord. He always taught me to put all of my trust in God. To be independant and only count on the Lord for all that i needed. He will forever be in my heart, and his memory will always remain with me. I just thank God that I was able to spend some time with him this past christmas. After my grandfather died i had to go back to school to complete my final semester at Acadia University. This was the hardest thing in the world to do. To go back to school and try to concentrate on my work, when all I could think about was my grandfather. Knowing my mother would be home alone in the house, and that I was not there to comfort her, and she was not here to comfort me
. If I had not been for the Lord on my side, I would not have made it through. He was my comfort and my guide. He saw every tear (and there were many tears), every grief and sorrow that was in my heart. I thank God for friends that were there for me as I was going through this period in my life. I also found some comfort in the knowledge that I would see him again in heaven. All the happy memories I had with him played in my mind over and over. As I tryed to get back into the swing of school I did not stop me from thinking of my grandfather. I was behind in all of my classes, and I had so much work to catch up on. A lady who went to my grandfather's church bought me a card. She spoke a prophecy over my life. She said that this would be my best semester in school. That prophecy was revealed, thank you Jesus. It was not easy by no means. There were many, many, many, many, many (I can go on with the manys, but I think I wil stop here) sleepless nights. Lots and lots of coffee. But by the grace of God, I made it. The devil tried to steal my joy on many occasions. He has a way of trying to bring you down. There was just always this voice in my head telling me I could not do it. But in the name of JESUS, I told that mountain to get thee behind.
On May 15th 2006, I graduated from Acadia University with a Bachelor's of science degree in Biology. It was not always easy being in university. My mother made a lot of sacrifices for me to be there. My mother has been there through it all. I love her so much,
 . There were many tmes when we did not know where school fees were coming from. But thank God, I had a zero balance at the end of the year. God is Jehovah Jirah, my provider. My peace, my comfort in the time of sorrow and grief, my food, my shelter, my strenght and my shield. He is everything I need and so much more,  . I was blessed to have my mother, my grandmother, my uncle and aunt and a good friend come to my graduation. I felt so blessed. They love me, they really love me. Acadia will forever me in my memory. But that part of my life is over now. The friends i made and the ppl I met will forever remain with me. The IGCA, the lambs way church family, the RHBC and all the many special memories. Thank you Acadia, thank you Canada!!!!!!!!! Wow, this is a very long blog. For those of you who read this whole thing, thats great. But yeah God is good. I have been home for about 5-6 weeks. Just taking some time out to relax. I have also been looking for a job. This has been a daunting task, with not a lot of results. But my faith is in God. I trust him. And when he blesses me, it will be great. AMEM. I just want to continue to give God all the praise that is due unto his name. Continue to be blessed in the Lord. Luv ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
03 November Life, or something like it..............Life is a never ending cycle of ups and downs, of wrongs and rights, speed bumps and dead ends. So why do we do the things that we do? Time after time after time again? What is our untimate goal? What is that we are seeking? Is it wealth, love or happiness, or rather a combination of all three factors? Or rather who are we trying to please? Friends, family or both? Life is a roller coaster where one day you are at the top, and it feels like you will never again come down. But then again the next day it feels like you are at the lowest point in your life with a NO RETURN sign in your hand. What is the point of all of this? I simply ask why???
So....ultimately, first and foremost we were all made for God's pleasure. To bring honour and glory to his kingdom here on earth, He finds joy in us. This life is just a temporary impass on the way to eternal life. We are inevitably not here to stay. So why should we get comfortable? These bumps on this journey are just the trials and tribulations which we must endure on our way to eternal life. We should take comfort in God. He loved us so much that he he gave his only son so that we may have life, and that we may have it more abundantly. We are not worthy of his love. We fall time and time again, but he forgives us over and over and over again. Find the comfort that you need in the arms of God. Let every single sector of your life be used to bring glory and honour to his name.
Please feel free to share your thoughts, if you have any. Thanks ppl.
26 July Thank you Lord !!!!!!!!!! This past weekend i celebrated my 23rd birthday (boy i gettin up there, lol, but thank God for life)
 . I had a really awesome weekend. Thank you to all those people in my life who helped make my birthday a memorable event. Thank you all. I just want to say how truly good God has been in my life. He is my everything. I would not be alive if it were not for the hand of God on my life. Numerous times he has stepped in and spared my life. The past couple of months have not been particularly easy for me, but through it all He has been good to me. In every difficult situation with which i have been faced he was there to comfort and guide me.
I thank God for my family and my friends. Both of these compenents in my life are so important to me,
. As i continue to take my relationship with God to a higher level, my wish is that he would keep me and guide me through all the things which may come before me to trip me up. I pray for health, strength and happiness. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things shall be added unto you". Matthew 6:33 14 June "God is Good"God is good all the time, and all the time God is good 22 April
