GREATful

Hello everyone...It's a happy sunday to you..How is your day going?

Ooohh...don't just ask me, it's been fantastic. Church was amazing..its awesome to be a TREMite; trust me, especially to be a part of the YPC (Young Peoples Church)...but it's not the church you go that matters, it's about soaking up the presence of your Father

Yesterday, I talked about Akward Moments. And I just had one a few minutes ago...How do I say this one o?? #That Akward Moment when your DAD says he has been reading your blog and tells you almost about everything that is in each post#...For a second, I was speechless!! Dad?? Reading my blog?? Now, that automatically sends shivers down anyone's spine!! That's just normal...but asides that, a few things that may be peculiar to me alone flashed across my mind.

Now, if you know my dad, there's one thing you would know...He is one busy individual. We are a lot alike...Multiple interest, like dabbling into different things, we love to laugh, we love to work (He is more hardworking tho' and we are both BUSY..always busy...we always find ourselves doing something..everytime!!! Knowing this fully well, and realizing that He still took the time to read my brain a mental note, saying, "Babes, that man loves you". And of course I know it. I do. He's my father; that's what fathers do..they love their daughters. And Prof Fatusi does love me..both by responsibility and by choice. I am not always lovable, but he still does love me. He has high standards and requirements and sometimes, I am afraid that I might not be "as good as he is", or "meet his standards" or "my work may not be up to his taste"..but the funny thing is He doesn't care!! He doesn't care about all those things. He will encourage me and support me and give me the help I need even when I don't deserve it. Why? Because He loves me. A lot of times, I have questioned that love. We all have. Adolescence brings with it a lot of drama. We question everything, especially love. And in all honesty, a couple of times I did, but something happened in February this year (which I would not speak about because I know Dad won't want me to say it) that drove all doubts away about the love my Father has for me

Don't get me wrong. We do have our moments. We quarrel, we disagree, there are issues that we have disparity of views...and many times, he has upset me; and I have upset him. At those times, I do not think of or remember the love he has for me. Life happens, things change; and sometimes in the hustle and bustle of life and school and church, I may not remember how much someone somewhere cares about me. And I know I am not the only one. For many of us, a lot happens in our lives that we forget what's most important and those who are most important. We fight with those who love us the most and for a while, do not speak with those who care for us with all their hearts. Issues come up, disagreements come..and we, sometimes, only see the evil and hurt and pain that people have caused us and not the love that they have given us. Some of us are so busy, we have so much work on our hands, we are so tired and frustrated that we do not see the people around us, holding us up, keeping us strong and loving us all the way

What does Dadiva have to say? It's this simple. Write a list of people who have shown you love in any way or the other. Skipped dinner so you could eat, asked you what was wrong when you were down, gave you a hug, encouraged you, bought you things..write at least 25 people (and trust me, there are more than 25, so don't tell me you don't have 25 people who love you in your life), and take the time to think about what they have done for you, how they showed you love, what it cost them to show you love, and send them a simple text message; "Thank you for loving me"!! Take this beautiful sunday out to be grateful to those who have shown you a tip of the iceberg of your Heavenly Father's love, and soak it all in. And through out this week, make up your mind to show them how much you love them as much as you can...and that love list better include God's name as number 1. People, let's learn to be grateful

To my blog readers, thanks for always reading. I love you..Thanks for loving me too.

I HAVE SAID MY OWN!!
