Appreciation post - A journey of GRACE.

I appreciate God for the privilege he has given to me to mark another year on earth, being here is not by my power or might. Nothing about me justifies why I am still here but I am grateful to God for sparing my life to this date.

My life is filled with testimonies because God has been so good to me in many ways.

I don't know if I shared a testimony last year on the platform, I can't remember which month. I was going to the farm at night, our roads are always busy at night and you have to be careful walking by the roadside.

I suddenly heard my name while going, I looked back to ask the lady behind me to ask if she mentioned my name when a bike ran into the drainage system. It would have hit me badly if I didn't stop to ask the lady, it surprised me when the lady said she wasn't the one who mentioned my name and she doesn't even know me.

She lady said "who knows what would have happened if you didn't stop", I was glued to that spot while people were rushing to help the bike and its passenger.

I believe it is the voice of God because that night could have been my last, I can't count the number of times I had health issues in the last 365 days but God came through for me.

Every year mom doesn't hesitate to tell stories about my delivery. She was so proud to be a mom after waiting for a few years after marriage, I opened a new chapter for the family. I would always want her to be my mother if I come back to the world a hundred times again, I took some of the beauty in her heart.

She was the first to contact me because she does this cross-over prayer on my birthday, she believes in prayer a lot and we have embraced that path because it works. My siblings wouldn't be left out, we had lots of gists online and their prayers mean a lot to me.

Birthday had a different meaning to me as a child but growing into adulthood changed a lot and I started having a different perspective about birthdays. Today, it reminds me that I won't be here forever. It has always been about taking a step away from the beginning and one closer to the end, or why do you think we count our days on earth?

I guess it is just a reminder for us all so we can know we ain't going to be young forever. We must not hesitate to live life the best way we can, working towards fulfilling our dreams should be important to us because we might not have the strength to paint the pictures we have in our heads at a point in life.

Now is the time when we can so we must work hard to get a lot of things done and it includes God's purpose for us on earth, we must live a life that is worth the grace bestowed upon us.

Life doesn't get easier but we just have to find ours through it. We can't do that alone and that's why God created beautiful people around us, to support inspire, and encourage us at the same time.

I would love to appreciate @Esthery97for making this year a beautiful one as usual, you have added so many sparkles to my journey. I will always be grateful for that, forever is the deal.

I was surprised to see @Olasquare message at 2 am, I felt loved. I asked myself, what have I done to deserve this?

He is someone I admire so much on the platform, he is a brother, a friend, and a mentor. Everything you are doing means a lot to me, God bless you abundantly sir.

@Amazing-grace thanks for the love, seeing you mention my birthday in your article means a lot to me.

To my friends, Oluwatosin, oluwakemi, Olayemi, Toyosi, Adewale, Olajumoke, thanks for always coming through to make the day a special one for me. I have not been that perfect friend everyone wants in their life and you standing by me always makes me happy.

The BCH Nigeria forum is the best place for celebration, you guys are stars. You brightened my mood with the wishes and jokes that were flying across the chatroom, you have all contributed to my success on the platform and I will forever be grateful to you guys.

Appreciation to my BCH family...

The BCH ecosystem has been a huge blessing to me and you guys have made today a special one for me, I have been smiling reading comments and messages containing lots of birthday wishes, I don't know how to thank you guys enough for bringing so much happiness into my life.

I got loads of wishes on Noise cash and it made me happy, the Almighty God will answer all your silent prayers and good things will never cease happening in our lives.

I still have a lot to share about my birthday but not in this article, I hope you all had a great week?

Wishing you all a beautiful weekend.
