WOMEN OF THE BIBLE I: EVE

Hey everyone!

I have been very busy taking care of my baby, and feel tired most of the time. So much that I can’t afford the luxury of sewing or working on any major project. However, by next year January, she will be six months old and I will stop exclusive breastfeeding. Then I will start sewing again and sharing all my work. I am currently working on a sew-along Facebook group, and Instagram page; work will resume fully next year.

One thing I have time for though is my Bible. I started reading the Bible from Genesis sometime in 2015 and finished it this year August, but I felt it was rushed, so I decided to start all over again. This time, my aim is not simply to read through to the end, but to fully understand and digest everything therein with the help of the Holy Spirit. As I read, I am taking notes on women of the Bible. Let me share with you two things I’ve learnt from the first woman in the Bible, Eve.

1.  She was created to be a help to the man- Genesis 2:18-25. As married women or about to be married women, we must not forget that God’s original plan for us is to be a help to our spouses. To support them and to stand by them. I read a book; Created to be his help meet by Debi Pearl that helps analyse how to fully work in God’s purpose for me as a woman.
2. Eve was carried away and allowed herself to fall into temptation- Genesis 3:1-24. Temptation in itself is not a sin, but falling into temptation is a sin. I have learnt to always be careful to obey every word of God, and to constantly pray for the Holy Spirit to order my steps aright.

Our ultimate goal in life should be to please God, and live a life worth emulating. I have heard someone say “let your life be the Bible that people read”. May the grace of God be with us. God bless you! 

P.S
This is my beautiful daughter!

WHEN IS THANKSGIVING?

Hey everyone!

This year, 2016 thanksgiving is on the 24^th of November.

Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated mostly by Americans. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November yearly. Families and friends usually eat meals specially prepared with turkey, spend time together and share what they are thankful for/ to have.

In Nigeria, this is not a recognised celebration. However, it is a good idea for family members to spend time with one another at least once a year and be happy. If you are in Nigeria, I encourage you to organise a family gathering with every member of the extended family present, invite friends, cook and thank God for all He has done from the beginning of this year. It doesn’t even have to be on the 24^th Of November, your meal must not be prepared with turkey, and you must not celebrate it like the Americans. What is most important is that you make out time with family and friends to thank God.

Thanksgiving should not only be in November, we should all cultivate the habit of spending special moments with loved ones and families to thank God, especially for the gift of life.

Happy thanksgiving! God bless you!   

New November; I'm Back!

Hey everyone!

Happy new month! Welcome to the month of November! In this month, I have decided among other things 
to start blogging again.

So, it’s been years since my last post. Actually it’s been four long years... A lot happened.

I graduated from college, got a Masters Degree, and now I’m married with a lovely baby. My previous blogs used to be about; how much I hated school, how I couldn’t wait to graduate and return home to my country Nigeria, movie reviews and some other social activities. Over the years I have learnt a lot, plus realizing that school wasn’t so bad after all, and I’m glad that I stayed till graduation.

Now with the decision to resume blogging, it will mostly be about; DIY (Do it Yourself), my sewing lessons, movie review, and lifestyle generally. I’m excited because I already have a lot of things to blog about...

Also, it’s a new month and I hope we all make the most of this 30-day November. Have a wonderful month, and God bless you!
