Great Weekend with a few concerns

Hello allllllllllll...yup I bet from my greeting you all can tell I am happy. I must say I had a great Thursday - Sunday. I connected with the "League of Extraordinary single men", met up with Suelene, experienced God move on my behalf, made new friends and so much more... I'll try breaking everything into various posts in the coming week but I'll give y'all snippets ... I also have a concern or rather a need to vent but I'll reserve that for another post as this is suppose to be a post of joy!

For one reason or another, the league of extraordinary single men weren't complete this weekend ...AGAIN!!! A few things came up and I only got to hear from two but either way it was a smashing weekend. Peeps complained about my location and the cold...so next week, i'll be flying out to meet and celebrate "great news" with the crew..I'll fill y'all in on the "great news" after meeting with my crew.

I must say I am fortunate and blessed to have the friends I have... I have been through a lot these past few weeks...a few have opened my eyes to the wiles of men. So it was refreshing to be around friends who constantly remind you of who you are, your standards and what you mean to them...I sat this weekend with my friends and we totally cracked up on our various gists, what I had experienced and what I was going through...Its funny for the first time in a few weeks I went to bed feeling fulfilled...fulfilled because I was validated... validated by people who truly know me ... I got some heavy knocks though (I am the youngest member of this club)and peeps took advantage of me by yabbing the lights out of me... I mean one of my friends yabbed me so bad, it sent me straight to bed (I mention this because I am extremely sarcastic and my yabbies have been known to leave peeps in P.O.P). Anyway In the next few days I'll break down this weekends visit, gist and activities.

Suelene Update

I met up with Suelene the other night to discuss our situation. I must say I feel at peace knowing that I was able to resolve this amicably (most times when I get frustrated by people and their actions I find it easier to just avoid them because in some cases they never seem to see their wrong). Anyway so I met up with Suelene and we spoke about the state of things...I thank God for the part of me that troubles me when I meet certain people...Because until I feel peace in that part of me, I always know theres something amiss about the person...Anyway we got to talk about our values and we discovered we have totally different values...I strongly believe in God and ascribe all that I am to Him...Suelene on the other hand isn't absolute that God exists. So ladies and gentlemen that ends that but I must say I got a chance to evangelize and I thoroughly enjoyed the time and the sharing...I dont expect her to change her beliefs automatically based on our conversation but I believe that I have sown a seed..a seed that the Holy Spirit will germinate in due time. Anyway I got to learn about a religious sect called the Christian Science (not Scientology)...its amazing the different things people believe in...anyway Suelene will be leaving my group and I totally respect that but at least I know if and when we see, there will be no uncomfortable feelings. I also got to learn something new about myself from our meeting (it shows you can never know everything about you...regardless of age). Anyway we have an on-going bet...we'll ski-race in december and if she beats me, then I have to take her to dinner when we return in the spring...Man I am going to Ski like a possessed man.

God loves me

My advice to anyone reading this blog is...be mindful of what you pray for...for when God answers your prayers, HE ANSWERS THEM. I mean I have a testimony in the works...God showed me that the events of the past few weeks have been to teach me about an area in my life I need to work on and be more mindful of... I am learning and a testimony is on its way!

New friends

I think from my posts, its clear I dont believe in having too many friends but this weekend I was introduced to a new friend... Let me say just meeting this person and talking to her, I am proud to be a Nigerian...the things shes involved in will blow your mind and she's just 23. She made it to my church today, which was equally impressive anyway I'll invite her to post some of her work on my blog...I truly believe she'll go places.

Venting!!!

I am tired of men/women who go around blaming the other party for why things didnt work out between them. He/she is no good, he/she did this, he/she did that...if you've had a good guy/gal and you messed things up, tell your friends when they ask .."It wasn't his/her fault...I messed up" ...don't go around blaming the guy/gal for your issues, thinking that the guy/gal will never get to hear about it...we live in a very small world...news travels fast... I'll continue to advise those faced with a situation like this to keep their calm...never disrespect him/her, regardless of what he/she says whether true or false...the truth is those that really matter will take the time out to know you for themselves and those that choose to believe the garbage they hear aren't worth your time (How many of you have noticed that when you meet a new guy or girl and you ask them about their past relationships, they always blame the other party for why things failed...its never your fault...you are always the victim...my people if you come across these type folks, my advice is runnnnn...if you are so good but everyone you meet seems to hurt you, then I am tempted to say either they all belong to a club specially created to destroy you or it might be high time for you to re-assess yourself) It's funny how people run their mouths thinking it will never get back to the other party....well NEWSFLASHHHH ...it does!
I plan to blog extensively about this in the coming days... Will also touch on the art of friendship ... be mindful who you call a friend or friends... some friends hang around you to laugh at your sorrow...some are soooo dumb that even when they are being used as pawns their movement is so predictable ...lol...gossips! I remember what my mum told me once... If you hurt one of your fingers, the other four will feel the pain...cause they are all guilty by association. When I see two people that I realize are clearly not friends, I normally feel tempted to walk up to them and really tear into them...why the pretense?...hmmm come to think of it I guess since they've opened the door I might as well walk in boldly...like a friend usually says " I think its time people know their place"! ...lol ...hah ahahahahah hahah ha ahahaha ..its my turn to laugh.

Anyway enough venting.. I hope you all had a swell weekend...mine was... until my next posts, Love like you've never loved before, trust like you've never trusted before for if you truly believe that God orders your steps, then the success or failure of any relationship has nothing to do with you but with what God has purposed for you.
