'For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind,
the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people.
This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. '
1 Timothy 2:5-6 NIV
Happy Friday, Hope your week is good and enjoy the day.
This is inspired by Paul’s letter to Timothy as I read Corinthians; it has branched into this chapter.
ONLY ONE WAY:
Thank You Jesus
For the price You paid for us
It is enough to walk this earth
It is such privilege to worship You
It is a honour to come before You
O Lord, my Lord Jesus
You gave Yourself up for us
You gave Your life up so I can have mine
You sent the Holy Spirit to strengthen us
So we can let go of the bundles that doesn’t serve
any purpose in the Kingdom of God
Even when I hold on to things that only weighs me down
You have been good to me
Even when You say let go
And I don't, You have never forsaken me
For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world,
and loses his own soul
Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
There is nothing in this world that can redeem my soul
There is only one who has redeem my soul, JESUS CHRIST
Who gave himself up as a hostage
For our sins, so we can be free
He put himself up for ransom in my place
He took the wrath of God so I don’t have to
He received the punishment from God the Father that I deserve
So to whom shall we run to?
In trials and tribulations
Who else can I turn to, if not You
Please don't leave me alone
Without You my life is nothing but dust
In You I have eternal life and something to look forward to
Stay with me and I will have joy
Your presence is Joy to my bones
Your presence makes me smile
Lord Jesus I need You every hour

I grew up and went to school in Freetown, Sierra Leone
and the memories of my school days comes crashing down
running and playing for no care in the world
Here are the questions with my answers.
What is a favorite memory for you from your school days?
I was a 100m and 200m runner and did both individual events as well as 4 X 100 meters and 4 X 200 meters. Sport days were the best days, practicing first thing before school and after school during the season. Loved running and it was always fun to win the races and get the prize.
What is a fun story from your school days?
Went to an all girls school, we walked home together laughing and screaming until we got home. It was fun walking for about thirty minutes. After school, walking home was fun.
Also we had all these boys who came to escort us home. That was fun.
Who is a teacher you have fond memories of?
My physics teacher was very sweet and encouraging. He was young and most of the girls liked him.
What classes did you like as a child?
Maths was my favourite class. It involved not just reading but calculations and you needed to work the problem not a yes or no answer. No guess when it comes to Maths.
What classes did you like as a university student?
I did Physics with Medical Applications, I liked the maths of it, Quantum Physics was interesting to learn, not sure if I remember much anymore.
Is there a teacher who impacted your life?
My papa was a Physics and Maths Teacher (boys school)/Lecturer(FBC University) and you can kind of guess why I chose those subjects. He also taught me at home, we got close that way as well as watching football together and going out for walks or a drive. I also helped mark the papers as I got older. After University when I made up my mind to do my own thing and not do Physics. He was a very supportive and my number one fan.
Is there a teacher you did not like but now you do?
My Maths teacher in School had a different way of answering the questions. I was taught differently at home, I didn’t like it but I eventually learned both ways to get the same answer. He made me know what it is like to be humble. He was a good teacher and I like him now.
If they choose to participate, I would like to tag:
I love his gift of bringing people together and his life’s journey with Christ. You can read about his coffee adventures in the coffee shops and also he loves to always drink coffee. He loves to cook food in the microwave and he teaches about the Bible. He is a man with many pockets and he always has something in it. I am getting to know Him in our Saturday chats and reading through his blog.
One more thing, he prefers the cold weather too 🙂
Not to forget, I can’t wait to see him in person. He is always telling me to get two dogs not even one 🙂

Yesterday was my anniversary of starting a blog
Very crazy for I never taught I will be doing it for a year
The ideas, the creativeness which we all have in us
So today is just a thank you to everyone
Crazy and madness I am in person
Love life and love to dance
Love myself truly sometimes I have to stop it
It can lead to all kind of crazy
I smile a lot even to myself
I have come a long way to be sad
For the world is temporary and not my home
I only have one life so I make the most of it
It was one day looking in the miracle
I distinctly felt the urge to smile at myself
crazy right, but it felt right
I saw a different me and I felt the joy of seeing the smile
And I have not stopped smiling
It years of smiling for it brings joy to others
The heart wants what the heart wants
The joy of Lord is my strength
Blessed be the Lord God Who is always faithful Who has helped me in this journey
Last year, I decided to do something crazy Crazy than normal, well unusual When I started, I had no idea what I was doing I still don't just going with the flow from the heart A big shout out to A friend of mine Priya, she did the groundwork she said Yes So she literally did all the work, she was my cheerleader She taught I will be good at it and convinced me All I did was found a name and we started the journey Another thank you to Niketa who read the work at the beginning She read and we chatted about it, encouraging me
And so this started and here I am on a this journey A journey that I have loved and still do I have found my passion and love of the Lord Well it has grown and changed in ways that I never taught it will The Lord has been my Salvation My strength and my motivation
In this journey I have met other bloggers Who have inspired me and also motivated me to write, thank you Given me a chance to showcase my God given potential So yesterday was a year and still think it is crazy of me God bless you all And Blessed be the Name of the Lord
Happy Independent day - Sierra Leone (Salone)
Capital City Freetown - the land of free slaves
Yesterday we celebrated independence from the UK 27 April 1961
Sixty years ago, freedown was given
One of the things I love about Sierra Leone
Is the people are always happy and smiley
Regardless of what is happening around them
We are all crazy people but I do love it
If you ever go to Sierra Leone be warned
We have two seasons rainy and dry season
May to November is raining season
In the month of August avoid it
Seven days of rain continuously without fail
No one knows when
But any other month it is lovely to visit
And our dry season is December to May
I do miss it, 2019 was the last time I visited
Can't wait because all the food are organic
The goat is killed and cooked in front of you
Well not killed in front of your eyes
But you see them going to the back to do it
You have chicken in the garden
It is a beautiful country is all I can say
The land of freedom
The beach is white sand
The mountains are called Lion mountains
The food is fresh
Lord God I thank You for Sierra Leone
Everyone LOOK!
Come and see the breathtaking
wonders of our God
For He brings both ruin and revival.
He's the one who makes conflicts end
throughout the earth,
breaking and burning
every weapon of war
Psalms 46:8-9 TPT
How shall we sing the Lord's song
For it is good to sing praises to our God
For it is pleasant and Praise is beautiful
O Praise the Lord!
For His Mercy endures forever
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty
He created all creatures
Come and see the sky that shows the beauty
The beauty that is beyond words, that makes you breathless
Let us come before the Almighty in awe and wonder
Without electricity or gas, we have no fire
Without gossip we have love for one another
What a wonderful God we serve
Create in us a clean heart O God
To see Your glory and to reflect Your goodness
Lord You have created the wise, so we see the world
Thank You God for the people that brings wisdom to us all
Thank You that they listen to You and share the Good news
To bring the body closer to You and glorify Your name
Thank You Lord that through Your wisdom a house is built
And our foundation is in You only
Thank You Father for the friendship we build along the way
For it is in this that when one is less able
We have others to help in need
For a friend loves at all times
And a brother is born in adversity
Thank You for the body of Christ
That each part has a purpose
And each part is different to help each other
when in need we call upon Your Name
Oh give thanks to the Lord
Make known His deeds among the peoples!
He is the Lord our God
Blessed be His name
Praise the Lord!
Sing to Him a new song
