Heralding A New Year With Peace & Laughter

When my heart is overwhelmed
Troubles feel like they won’t end
I will hold unto your peace and rest in you
Situations standing tall and the mountains very high
I will never lose my faith, I will trust in you
Obi m dere du atula ujo, obi m dere du
Chukwu mara ihe oma o ga emere mu o, obi m dere du
Obi m dere du adala mba, obi m dere du
Chukwu mara ihe oma o ga emere mu o, obi m dere du
Jesus you have taken away my pain o, you taken my shame
At the cross you did it all for me
Now my soul has found rest in you, yes I have peace in you
I have found grace in you, oh my savior

Growing up I always did have goose bumps and felt so much in the spirit whenever this song was sang in church. Imagine how I felt listening to Henrisoul’s version of the song. He gave my not so good singing voice a sonorous voice and sang out my heart for the world to listen. Now, I can play that song over and over again and let my creator know how much I appreciate his grace upon my life.

I am very excited about this new year. If you click HERE, you will begin to understand why. I have never had a better last year. Never seen in the history of my destiny and most certainly not in my DNA. With all that happened HERE, I can only but imagine what is set to take place in this new year. For the word of God even declares that your latter shall be greater than the rest. For those who mix it all up, the latter is what is to come and the former is the past. Hence, my today is already greater than yesterday.

I do have expectations of the milestones that I wish to travel this year but I cannot say that they will go a certain way for sure. If Twenty Six has taught me anything, it is the fact that I can never decide for the Lord. He is in charge. The alarm of the world has nothing to do with him. When you think it is over is when he is just about to start. So, my heart is certainly full of joy.

At the start of the year, I declared this my year of embracing serenity. 3 months in, I am still in that space. This is why I have tagged this heralding peace and laughter.

I will laugh so hard this year and continue to abide by the word of God which will give peace unto my soul. I will also be the reason another can laugh if not so hard but at least, they can smile. What is life if I cannot touch the lives of people around me? Let people step into my space and feel the serenity. Let them feel the comfort that the Lord promised them. Let them find a place of of joy in this otherwise tough world. Lord, I want to help people to ease their burden even in my blog space and as a Talent Manager.

It is a new dawn for me, another chance at life. Thank you to everyone who has started to pour out their hearts on all platforms. I started receiving wishes yesterday and even as I woke up, the phone has continued to buzz with the mentions, tags, messages and even some calls I must have missed. I barely slept. Not sure why but I guess I am so eager to start Twenty Seven.

As I sign out today, I have the lyrics of Imela by Nathaniel Bassey feat. Enitan Adaba on my lips:

When I think upon Your goodness
and Your faithfulness each day
I’m convinced it’s not because I am worthy
to receive the kind of love that You give
But I’m grateful for Your mercy
and I’m grateful for Your grace
And because of how You’ve poured out your Yourself
I have come to sing this song out in praise
Imela, Imela Okaka, Onyekeruwa
Imela, Imela Eze mo
Who am I Lord?
Who am I to sing Your praises?
Who am I to worship You, Lord?
Who am I to worship you?
It’s Your blood that makes the difference in me
And made a way to enter into Your throne
I could not come near Your presence
I could never sing Your song
But the sacrifice on Calvary’s tree is the reason I can cry out today
Imela!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
