my mothers' day

Just called my mom, see how she's doing on this mothers' day and it was so good to hear her voice, still quite strong, still very cheerful it blesses my heart just to know she's ok. Thank God my sister smsd to remind me its mothers day. I know someone is still angry with me because i forgot her birthday.

Its not easy being the first child, there's alot of responsibility and sometimes it can get overwhelming. But i believe there's nothing that is impossible, i believe in small beginnings and i believe there's a God who's a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. I believe He will supply ALL my needs according to His riches in glory and whatever i lay my hands to do shall prosper because you know what God is faithful and thats one thing that will ALWAYS be constant in all our lives.

Spent part of the evening cutting down some of the trees around the house with moyin. My landlady suddenly appeared and gave us work to do. She's a nice lady la and i feel she's quite lonely so she numbs out by occupying herself with alot of activities. I always feel like i want to help her in some way. Her children are all over the world and she lives all alone, being a widow and all.

After all the work she invited me to have dinner at her house. If its food i'm there especially as i was feeling too lazy to go to an atm so i can buy some food. Her house is full of flowers and documents; letters, bills, the works almost like a warehouse for storing old papers. Everywhere is stuffed with stuff, even the fridge is full of foodstuff. But it was good. We had chicken rice with alot of chicken. Apperently like me, she likes meat :D

Like pastor was sharing today about the acts of different ones in bethany, i was just reminded of alot of things and by God's grace everyday we grow to become more like Him in everyway. And indeed we can serve God and others in little ways like just being a listening ear or a safe place where friends can come and not feel threatened or intimidated. I was really blessed today.
