Happy Canniversary to all who celebrate- AKA ME

 Today makes it a year that I packed my bags, gave out half of my clothes, rehomed my dog and moved to Canada to continue living my life.

Because I am Nigerian, I ordered a pack of small chops to all my nephews, & neices & siblings in Lagos. Because the business is Nigerian, even though I told them to deliver it at 9:30am- it only came at like 2pm and yeah.

Two things, I am so so thankful to God for this journey. everyone says the first year is the hardest and when I tell you that I have cried only TWO times in the last year. 

I can not believe how much God has done for me on this journey. There have been so many things that have happened on this journey that the more I think about it, the more I know that it could only have been God.

Truly the journey is in God's hands, and when people tell me I'm so lucky, I always tell them. It is God o.

Let today be the marker that I have come to return all glory to the name of God for his faithfulness and kindness and grace on the journey.

God has given me the gift of men on this journey, helpers have arisen, and help has shown up from all the unlikeliest places to prove that God is not a man that he should lie, that he has done and said everything that he said he will do.

Exceedingly, abundantly above all the things I could imagine for this journey- He has done.

And I can not thank him enough.

Please say a prayer for me today that God that has brought me will continue to keep me in his arms.

Canada has given me so so much in this one year and I remain so grateful because where others have said they were cast down, I was lifted up Highhhh!

Happy one year in Canada to me.

Took me a year

 But I think I have found my church.

And I am SOOOOO happy. I went to church sporadically in Lagos because you know, church. but when I moved here, I started looking for a church and I went to a few but did not really like them, so I stayed with my online churches, anyway my class mate invited me to his church and I was like- okay let me try this.

and boy was I moved. when they started singing worship songs and I burst into tears, I just knew, I said -  I'M HOMEEEEEEEEEEEE.

When I got home, Pj was like oh you really liked this church and I said yes it was really good.

Long weekend in Canada and honestly I'm thinking of doing a thanksgiving on the anniversary of our 1 year move here.

When I tell you that this journey has been ALL GOD. every step that has been taken it has felt like God has just been opening doors for me.

Last week I was praying for something and then I got a confirmation in my mind that it was settled and I was like God am I praying in vain and then I was reminded for a time the exact same thing happened and I was like- OHHHH.

a few years ago, maybe 8 I wanted to buy a ticket but didn't have the money even though I wanted to book the flight I was like hmnn lets see, anyway long story short I had been paid some money from a co-operative on the friday before I even knew about the flight and I'm sure I have a blog post about this- the details are fuzzy but I was reminded that God will always provide for me.

And when I tell you I felt so comforted.

Anyway another long weekend and I can finally say I have settled down barring some tax issues- and honestly it makes no sense that everyone has to file their taxes themselves, its annoying.
