If You Know.....

HOW much I wish for you to join me in my quest to hold on to God like I am 2 years old?

IF you know much I believe that this is the only way I see that I can make it to the end of 2009 and into 2010?

WHETHER you truly feel like you can do THIS on your own?

WHY this day, Christmas day, is so important to me right now.

Its important cos Christ being born assures me that the miraculous CAN happen. And DNW needs the miraculous in 2010.

DNW wonders. Do you?

If You Know What My Prayer For YOU is?

It is this:

That this very day and all the days of your life, you will have God's 100% ATTENTION
And that as you walk with Him, He will make His INTENTIONS for your life crystal clear
For this will surely take away all your TENSIONS about your today and tomorrow
And then that God should seal the deal by placing all your enemies in eternal DETENTION
So that you will go about lifting the name of your God in joyful EXALTATION.
Because there will be no doubt that our God is just the forever CHAMPION!
In Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

Yes, this is my cute yet powerful prayer for you today

(God Bless you Pastor Olawale for sharing this with us today in church! I hope you dont mind that I have added some more 'tions' of my own.)

If You.....

Missed my wonderings and ponderings at all???? lol!

Oh well, DNW has been so busy with work and riding down memory lane on another blog Diary Of A Desperate Naija Woman. Hence my absence. Sorreee!

DNW would like to know IS IT ME OR HAVE ALL THE MARRIED MEN IN THE WORLD GONE MAD!!!!! (except mine of course! lol! and of course except any married man that is reading this right now...laffing out loud louder!). But no jokes, I thank God for all committed married men but i thank God more cos but for Him.......

Honest, DNW wonders, for how long, o Lord, for how long will you continue to stand by and let the strange women mock your institution......Ok I know I am being melodramatic but am just pained and vexed at the same time. There are too many of our sisterfolk in pain........

Who Will Join Her?

DNW is throwing up a challenge. It will last for 2 months. You know how they say its the little things that do us in? Our number one 'little fox' is our tongue.
DNW is bridling her tongue.
Less talking God. More acting God.
Less talking. More listening.
Less complaining. More praying.

DNW wonders.....No! this time DNW knows, we will get to the close of this year reaping a bountiful harvest for taming one of the biggest 'shrews' in our lives. We will plug a hole through which much has been leaking out of our lives.

Yes, DNW is certain of this. No need to wonder. God does not fail. He rewards obedience.

If YOU

Yes, you, my dear one, reading this ‘ponder’ at this moment. Do you know how special you are to God? I mean, deep down in your soul not just in your head or mind. Well, DNW is here to tell you today that this is one TRUTH you can hold on to today. You are loved by a most loving God & Father. Bask in His love today. Let it keep a smile on your face. Let it warm you heart and overshadow your issues. OK?

And as you do so, go now, yes NOW and tell someone you love this same truth. That you love them but that God loves them more! Oya! Go, make that call or send that sms or email. Now now!

Oh yes, and DNW loves you with the love of the Lord too!

Lol!

Why It Is So Easy.....

To see another persons faults in spite of the fact that ours are much larger....much worse.... the error of keeping track of another's sins. Isn't that as bad as the other sinning in the first place? Love they say covers a multitude of sin.....we need to be covering the sin with our love AND forgetting about them too.

DNW has stopped wondering for just a split second. In that second, DNW is praying for grace.

How God Must Feel Sometimes.......

When He looks down on us and sees all that is going on in the world.....DNW wonders if God does not wish He could go back to the Old testament dispensation for one split moment and strike all hypocrites down in their tracks!!!!! Especially Christian ones!
As you walk into the church after a night of evil doings, you will just fall down and die for having the audacity to come the house of God with all that muck on your hands...

Hmmmm, DNW is so grateful that God is not man like her......wahala go deh oh! His ways are not her ways and His thoughts are not her thoughts. Thank you Jesus!

If Women Understand Why?

DNW used to wonder how come 'your desire will be for your husband (man)' was a curse. Remember? That was how Eve was cursed after the apple saga. How can that be a curse? I used to ask my self. Should not a woman desire her man?

Then I got it! After personalise experience I realised that NO man can totally fulfill a woman's God given desire for wholeness and completion. ONLY God can do that. But the curse was that women would think that their husbands could fill that hole in their hearts that only God could fill. Therein lies the curse of all times......So we women KILL ourselves trying to get ALL our fulfillment from our husbands....futile!

DNW wonders how many women are out there looking to be 100% fulfilled by their husbands. Not gonna happen. UNTIL you desire God first 100%. Then God wil help you submit to your husband in a way that will enable him love you as Christ loved the church AND THEN all that your hubby gives you will be a wonderful jara!

Nuff said!

Where I Would Be

If I did not know that Jesus loves me? That He loved me before I was even born? That He will always love me. I am quite confident that the knowledge of this amazing truth is the slim difference between the hangman's knot and the glimmer of hope for tomorrow.DNW is so glad that Jesus loves her....

Why a good, God Fearing Man or Woman......

Will not rise and run for Presidency of this our nation? Is there not anyone in the Lord who can just stand up. Yes, we pray, but God knows there must be a son of his or a daughter that He can raise up to save us from all this!!!!!

Is there anything that says that the godly must ONLY pray???? I mean I know God has called Pastor Adeboye to build churches but why cant he be President? Why cannot any of the other true men of God run for Presidency???? Or some plain honest to God, God fearing person.....Why? Why? Why?

If Men Fully Grasp Why.....

God gave them wives? DNW was at a wedding today and I really wonder if married men fully comprehend what God has done for them by giving them a wife.

God created Adam. He was alone. God, who is ALL wise, looked at the matter and said 'it was not good'. As far as our ALL wise God was concerned, Adam had a problem. God provided the solution. Eve.

For you, married man, DNW wonders if you fully grasp this and treat your wife accordingly. SHE is your helper. You NEED her. Without her, you had a problem. A big one.

For you, single man, DNW wonders if you know that your life can never be whole without the woman God has destined to be his wife?? You may be walking around feeling all complete and all, like you have arrived. But trust me, you are walking around, a sick man, and you dont even know you are sick.

My Pastor preached a serious sermon today and DNW wonders if I can maybe get a few copies of those CDs into the hands of some of the men she knows....It will be well worth the investment....Well worth it....

Why Someone Cannot Just Declare

Friday a public holiday too? One day is not enough to think and pray for Naija. We need more time!!!!

But sincerely speaking, DNW wonders what we are really celebrating? Hmmmm Yet will DNW praise you O Lord cos it could be worse.

Happy Birthday Naija!

If Anybody Knows Anybody Who Knows...

Anybody who knows the Governors of Ekiti, Ondo or Edo State?????? Yes oh, please I am picking these states because DNW is involved. Yes I am involved. To go to my hometown I have to traverse areas that are part of these states. SO please, DNW is wondering if you have connections like that PLEASE tell them we NEED directional signs on the expressways and roads that go through these states. Not everyone is a commercial driver. Some of us need help navigating these routes. Big bright, neon lit directional signs to assure us we are on the right track would be a huge blessing!!!!!

DNW wonders, but for God, my MGM and I would have ended up in Benin last night....We thought we were headed for Ore from Akure. We had no business being in Ohuluku!!!!!!!

How On Earth Aunty Yinka can be gone??????

I tell you, this woman was the essence of LIFE itself to me. No matter how ill I was feeling when I went down to our Medical, she would manage to make me smile. She knew all my children's names. She knew more about me than I knew about her. She was so bubbly. So alive. Anytime the elevator stopped on the 5th floor and she saw me through the opened lift doors, she would always blow me kisses accompanied by a wide smile! So how could this epitome of love and care be dead? Just like that!

I blogged once about Death being a white horse that comes to take one into eternity....I heard my pastor saying it.....I love my pastor but I really don't care for these white horses right now! White horse, you bring my uncle back! Yes, bring my auntie yinka back here right this minute!!!

Yes, am throwing an adult tantrum. Its all good, God, sees my heart. He understands me and my juvenile ways.......ahhhhhhhhhhhh life is a thread. one snip and its gone.......DNW wonders why, yet after witnessing all of these deaths, we still are playing around with our eternal salvation. Who knows, it might be me tomorrow......Yes, God forbid, but really who knows.......

How Much Of Life Is Pure Natural Evil......

And how much of it is jazzed evil? I try not to blame everything that happens on the 'household wickedness'of the village people or attribute them to the remotely controlled devices of the evil people who are out to get me, kill me, steal my joy, harm my children, jazz my husband, vanish my money, extinguish my joy and on, and on it goes......but i really cant help it. Lol!

Seriously though DNW wonders if sometimes we refuse to look within to the cause of the stuff that happens to us. The bible does say as a man sows so shall he reap. I guess we dont admit that we have sown something.

.....as I heard said once, the enemy you might be praying to die die die, might just be you, yourself! So a little self exam will do us now harm once in a while.

If There Is Anything More Wonderful Than.......

the unconditional love of one's child.....?

OK, I am sure there are a few things but for DNW today, this is as good as it gets.

I don't have to wonder about it, I just love it...hearing my children tell me they love me.....awwww bliss. perfect bliss. Thank you Jesus!

Why The Simple Things In Life Are So Hard to Do?

You know, like smiling warmly to the lady that walks into the elevator
or
drinking 8 glasses of water
or
saying thank you to the cleaning lady or the mail boy
or
saying I am sorry when you are
or
letting go of past wrongs

and on and on it goes.....just wondering. dont have a clue as to the answer.

If I just start buying size 14 clothes......

I could possibly convince myself that I have lost weight cos then my clothes will not feel so tight. Lol! I think this is a quick fix it for now....yes, DNW believes this makes sense!

If the pain will ever go away

My mom. My pastor. My uncle. 3 deaths that have hit me hard. real hard.
Will the pain ever go away? Will the tears ever completely dry up? I know they will.
Once just thinking of her reduced me to tears. Once, just hearing one of the praise and worship songs he taught us, reduced me tears. Yes once. So I guess same thing will happen with this one. But for now, just thinking of my uncle. reduces me to tears. I guess, soon I will be saying 'once' for him too. And like the other two, I will be able to smile at the memories of them. Of how they touched me. Of how they made me who I am today, Once......

If People Listen To Themselves Sometimes?

Yes, do we really listen to what we say. Let me explain my wondering. Since my uncle died, people have been awesome. If I had a dollar (or maybe a Euro since it is doing better!) for every kind word, warm encouragement, confident assurance I have gotten, I might just be able to retire sooner. Don't laugh. I am serious.

People really really KNOW stuff. People are aware of the fact that living a Godlike life here is the only guarantee for making heaven. People know that life is short and we need to make every day count. People know that, NO ONE knows tomorrow so we need to live every day as if it were our last making sure it counted for God. I am telling you, we KNOW stuff. We are smart.

And that is why DNW is confused right now cos I honestly don't SEE people living like the KNOW all this stuff.

For the love of God, do people listen to themselves? Or is it just easy to spew out all the right words without doing jack to apply it to our own lives.

DNW wonders why you will console me so nicely and warmly IF you have no plans of living a life that corroborates your words......Why? oh Why? Please make DNW's day and let's all begin to walk our talk!

Where The Little Baby Boy Has Gone?

The young shall grow indeed. Little white comforters have been replaced by Afro combs (dont ask!). The baby boy is an almost-man! And DNW is sitting here at her PC typing away and wondering, 'when did this happen?' 'Where is my little baby boy?.
Oh dont mind me, I know where he is. All grown up and itching to fly the nest. Fly far away from home in eager anticipation. DNW wonders if she and her mgm have done all they could to lay the right foundations in this our son. Sweet Jesus, I hope so. I really hope so.

In any case, kini big deal, God has got my back and He will catch the slack for us. Yes oh. In God we trust!

Can There Be Anything Sadder.......

.....than losing a loved one? Actually, there is something sadder. It is losing a loved one and not being sure where they are going to end up. Praise God DNW has been spared that sort of sadness ad infinitum. Oh don't get me wrong, I am currently enveloped in a cloud of sadness so thick that I can barely breath BUT in that deep deep grief is a sliver of joyous joy. For my loved one is FOR SURE with our Father. Yes, my loss is Heaven's gain. DNW wonders how many of my loved ones I will be so sure about?

Sun re o, eniyan mi atata! Till we meet again.

How On Earth People Cope??????

Yes, DNW would just like to know how you all cope? Yes, you people who say there is no God! Who do you lean on when you have reached the end of your rope? Who do you call on when things look impossible. Who comforts you when human words are just empty sounds? Who do you rely on when the arm of flesh fails you. How do you get the courage to face this evil evil world? How do you manage to brave the perils of the outside world? How do you leave your children in the care of 'strangers' every day. How do you know for sure the man, the woman you love will come back home? How do you know you will wake up tomorrow? How do you know for sure that this sickness is not unto death?

In short, how do you people cope?

Why All African Countries Cant Just Be Border-less!

So there would be no need for visas! Yes, I know, am a dreamer but in my ideal world. African love would mean that our doors are open to all our brothers and sistas from other African mothers. Eh hen, then my ordeal this morning would have simply been the figment of my imagination.

DNW wonders when this 'brother on brother' dehumanisation will stop! I still cannot get over the way the security personnel in all these embassies behave sha!. Its some version of the mourners crying more than the bereaved! DNW tire oh!

Thank God for God who is the God of ALL the earth including all the embassies of the world. Yes o! When His children approach, their gates must lift up their heads and let us in! Amen! and Amen!

Why People Find It Hard To Believe....

...That my ideal life would be one where I did not have to go to work!

You will be bored they say. Bunkum!(is this the right spelling sef? anyway idea is need)

You will lose touch with what's up. And so? I have my own ideas on stuff I need to or want to be current about anyway.

You will begin to let yourself go. Now that is a lie from the pit of hell! I aim to represent my good looking God till I go meet Him!

For real, DNW wonders how come it beats the imagination of most people that one can be 'lazy' about this rat race we call making a living yet be totally 'on fire' for other kinds of 'good works' that while they may not be 'money spinning' enterprises are actually more life enriching in the long run.

About How God does REALLY mean it IF He says it

God is indeed a Man of His words. If He says it. He will do it. DNW is wondering how best to thank Him. How can you not stand in awe of a God that said something over your life 18 years ago...something you scoffed at (like Sarah laughed)...what do you do, how do you react when you see that word come to pass in your life?

You know what? Scratch that. Today,DNW is not really wondering. She is lying prostrate on the floor (in the spirit) thoroughly in awe of her God whose counsel CANNOT be eroded. IF He said, It will come to pass. No matter how long it takes, in my case, 18 years and inspite of the fact that I scoffed at it, It came to pass yesterday.

No, DNW is not wondering today, She is praising her God!

If Maybe God Would Give Me An Extra Tongue.....

So I could praise Him some more!!!!!!! He has been so good. so faithful. I just want to do some crazy praise. What do you think? OK, so not possible. God is too wise for that kind of jomojomo. If He gives me an additional tongue then the day am feeling mad at Him (cos you know that's how life is) I might just speak double the nonsense! lol! Thank God He is not a man!

So since I cannot have one more mouth to shout and sing to God's glory for my son's awesome final exam results, perhaps...well maybe, DNW wonders,,,err could I borrow yours? Could I ask you to join me in doing some crazy Kirk Franklin style praising right now! PPPPPRRRRRRAAAAAIIIIIIISSSSSEEEEEEEE THE LLLLLLLLOOOORRRRRDDDDD!!!!!!!!!
I cant hear you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If There Will Ever Truly Be Man/Woman Equality???

First of all, I am not whinging.. well not this time. I am just asking a question?

How come I cannot travel to South Africa with my son without a letter of consent from my MGM saying that he, as the husband and father, had indeed AUTHORISED me to leave the country with his progeny BUT he can go half way round the world with this same progeny and no one even seeks to know if the child has a MOTHER! Talk less of seeking her permission.

Its so annoying, am actually laughing. Yes I am laffing out loud but its still not funny really.

If She Will Be Able To Move Tomorrow Morning....

Seriously. Even now I can already feel my muscles binding up in preparation for a very painful day ahead. lol! The person who coined the phrase ' no pain no gain' was not joking. In a bid to get serious in all spheres of life, one of them being physical, DNW signed up with a trainer. She is evil I tell you. evil. And am sure all the flabby muscles in my body agree with me.

Oh well, August is the month of New Beginnings is it not? So let the newness begin...yes even if it includes an excruciating hour in the gym three times a week!!!!!!

How I got to be so blest?

DNW wonders wot on earth God sees in her to bless her so. Being here on this 1st day of August 2009. Another brand new month. DNW is just here typing away on her keyboard wondering what makes her so special. Why is she not one of those women hiding in the bushes of the Niger Delta? Giving birth to the sounds of militant gunfire? Why is she not one of the women in the North taking refuge with their children in police stations cos some idiots have decided that "Education is sin''? I could ask and ask and I will come up with nothing. It is just the GRACE of God.

And boy am I grateful for that. Yes, me, the DNW is desperately grateful to God cos I Am what I Am. I am WHO I am. Only by His grace. Do I hear an AMEN?

DNW wonders if anyone else out there is wondering about this like she is.

If Maybe I Could Ask Santa For A Helicopter.....

Cos you know I really really need it Santa! And DNW has been mostly good and not bad. So do have a heart and send me a shiny black heli all tied up in a pretty pink bow for Christmas. That should fix the nightmare journey back home everyday....

Sigh...............If wishes were horses, DNW would ride them into the sunset! lol!

What It Would Be Like If......

God began operating in the 'old testament' mode again. You know where people would just walk into church and fall down dead cos of the sin or evil intentions in their hearts.......Perhaps we would have a healthier fear of Him, yknow?

Ok Ok, DNW does thank God for NOT doing that but really we Christians need to really check ourselves. We are either in or out! Trust me, DNW is talking to herself too. God has more or less 'jacked' me up today so i have re evaluated and re aligned.

Why Glo Will Not Just Get It!

DNW is done texting WIN to 555! lol! If my 1510 points do not get me even a small IPod, then that is it!!!! Ha! Na wa oh! Glo, please stop sms-ing me cos I refuse to fall for that again. If you dont give me my 30 million naira now with the points I have right now, then it was not meant to be. Some of us, DNW thinks, are just meant to work hard for our money. Tada tadan, so hard for the money.......

What The World Would Be Like.....

If all professing Christians TRULY walked their talk? There are so many good people out there who DNW believes are sincere in their love for God and mankind so why oh why DNW wonders does it seem like the devil is still in charge down here? That there is more hatred than love going around? More bad than good?

Cos he is the god of this world? What do you think?

If Anyone Would Like A Copy of "Call Upon Me'

For a token fee of ..............Nada! Zilch! Rien! Absolutely free!!!!

Yes! DNW loved reading this book on prayer so much that she got a couple of extra copies and is set to give them to the first two people who say 'Me!' via this blog site.
Errrr, note that you have to live in Lasgidi (Lagos) and you have to be able to come and pick it up from a place DNW will reveal to you. As Awuff runs bele, the hidden cost of this FOC matter is the cost of you coming to collect the book. I think its only fair. Abi?

Anyway, the book is by Pastor Bemigho Omayuku. Yes you may not have heard of her but trust me, this book is good. simple but good for soul. DNW would compare it to nice home made chicken soup for the soul on prayer. Naija style.

Why People Let Other People.....

Determine who they are or what they can do? I love that saying, that no one can make you feel inferior without your permission. Its the truth and it goes for all other emotions and feelings and thoughts we have about ourselves. We should have the final say. Not some 3rd party. So why oh why DNW wonders do people let others dictate how they feel about their own lives???????

Its no ones business but yours and the God that made you. DNW sez stand up for who you are, dammit@!

What Will Happen if NEPA Strikes tonight......

And DNW is acutely aware that the chances of that happening are like 150 to 1. For tonight, if they do, will be the very first time we shall sleep without electricity in a long time (my youngest has experienced it only once in his life and that night I was a human fan!) Hear! Hear! The generator has a fault that cannot be fixed in a day! We are doomed should PHCN come a calling!

Or are we? Perhaps, DNW thinks, it would be a spectacular learning experience for my children to see how over 80% of the Nigerian population live? Perhaps DNW ponders it would be good for them to have one day without the generator so that next time it purrs into action, they will remember to thank Almighty God for his grace over their lives.

Yes.......one day in the darkness might not be that bad after all. And you never know. NEPA might just suprise me tonight. Ha! I wish!

If It Is Possible to Live One Full Day......

Without grieving the Holy Spirit?

You know DNW wonders, can one go for 24 hours and be able to say, 'Today', nothing I did would displease my Maker. All my words, thoughts and deeds were in line with who I am in Christ? DNW is gonna try. Wanna join me?

Fear not, its not a competition, just another way to a lifestyle of living a Christlike life. DNW knows she is not Christ and can never be perfect like that....but there is nothing to lose and all to gain in trying.

As they say, one day at a time.........

Why They Never Use REAL Substantial Women?

Yes, once again, DNW is moaning about something. You know those adverts for body shapers? Pray tell why must they always use models who DONT need body shaping. For once I would like to see some woman who truly has a huge belly like mine in a before and after picture so I can see how well the product actually keeps all the lumps and bumps in!!!!! OK, true I did see this really honest ad in Ebony once. The model was truly curvy a.k.a. fat but she looked nice in the lingerie she was wearing. So more of that please people......Yep, DNW is ranting but hey, am actually in a better place today. As Hanna Montana sings, Life is Climb....but the view is pretty awesome!

If I could really win the Glo N1Million Naira!!!!!

Yes, am a sucker too. Those Glo messages just suck you right in! I finally managed to stop myself after the 10th WIN to 555. LWKM! The human being is truly greedy by nature!
Considering the day I had, DNW needed this kind of stress buster.....at least that is what I am telling myself. lol!

How God Copes With People Like Me?

Yes, DNW is amazed by God's ability to love no matter what. His love is boundless. I know. I am a benefactor of His limitless affection. His unending mercies. His always strecthable patience. I don't deserve it but I am grateful for it.

DNW wonders where I would be without my God?.....dead, in a psycho ward, on the streets, selling pepper in the market......pick your choice. But oh no! God had to love me. And you. And bring us to this place where we are at. Our today. Its good.

DNW wonders....could we ever fathom how much God must love us? Methinks not. I shall revel in this as I go off to bed tonight. I shall float on the clouds of such love. I shall bask in its sweet sweet feeling. Forget human love and acceptance. We are the beloved of the Divine One. What can compare?

Why We Wait For Death To Forgive and Show Love

Yes, I know this is a a broad generalisation. Forgive me. But DNW wonders why it becomes easier to let go of past hurts and speak of only the good parts of life with a person when that person dies? Why can we not give it up while the person was alive? DNW wonders why people wait till funeral services to speak of all the good a person has done, or all the good things a person has contributed to their lives. Or what that person means to them.....DNW wonders...why not just tell them now?

If Perhaps I Need Time Off Without Pay?

Yes, DNW wonders if this will not be a good idea. It is all getting to be a tad too much these days with all the nanny issues, children school runs, lagos traffic etc. Thank God for school holidays! OK, DNW is just dreaming but hey! Dreams are free, right?

If Celebrities Feel The Way I Am Feeling Now.....

Honest to God, this is serious. Do celebrities feel like they have these huge butterflies on their eyes when the fix false eyelashes???!!!!! Yes, they make me feel sexy but I am almost blind. lol! OK so its not that bad but am wondering is this how the blue blood of hollywood feel when they fix these things? If it is, then they are trying cos it does not show on their faces at all.LWKM (this is the pidgin version of LOL. Laff wan kill me!)

DNW is tired, been running around like there is no tomorrow as I have no nanny. Peace of mind but knackered! DNW wonderes,,,,is there really life with no nanny??????? Especially when you are half blinded by false eyelashes......Lol! oh sorry, LWKM!

What The Devil Must Have Been Thinking Last Night

As almost every single person who got the hoax Pastor Adeboye's "Call To Prayer" SMS bombarded the atmosphere with prayers for their loved ones. DNW can almost see the angels on assignment running or is it soaring helter skelter as the prayers sent them off on various errands!!!! As DNW said, prayer has no overdose so hoax or no hoax, it was a good thing! Just sad that we respond to the call of a mere man like that but when God speaks to our hearts we pretend not to hear........

If I Can Possibly Stand One More Ride Home In.....

the horrible get-on-my-last-nerve-bone-shattering-mind-numbing-traffic along the Lekki - Epe Expressway (I beg your pardon!? more like a two lane village road if you ask me).

And get this, I am complaining and all I do is sit at the back of the car trying not to scream in frustration but DNW wonders how oh how those who drive are managing it???? It must play havoc with the muscles in the 'driving leg' and the back.

DNW wonders if it will be too much to ask My mgm for a helicopter for Christmas? lol!

If I will ever keep my 'Vow of Silence'!!???

Yep, I promised my self that I would not lose my temper and go on a rant-fest today. But alas after holding myself back from giving my driver an earful after work today. Dont ask. It will bore you but it made me mad. I got home and lost it megatime with my teen and tween agers the moment I walked in the door. DNW wonders if in a bid to give our children a better life than we had, we dont end up spoiling them.......I know they are fundamentally good children but DNW wonders why oh why they seem incapably of doing things without being told........Arrrghhhhh. lol! I can almost see my dear mother smiling in her grave.....ha! I told you so she must be saying.....

Why Even A Minor Fan Like Me.....

Cannot stop thinking about Michael Jackson????? DNW wonders what his family and hard core fans must be feeling like....DNW wonders where he is.........

Why Fevers Get Worse In the Evening/Night?

Pardon me but I have to ask this seeing as I have had back to back 'nurse work experiences' in the last 3 weeks. I just thank God for healing. Not sure how people who do not trust God cope during spells of illness of loved ones cope! I feel so helpless and panicked and the only thing that calms me is knowing that Christ said 'it is finished' and that mean sickness too.

Anywho, DNW wonders why oh why temperatures are fine-ish during the day but then soar to incredible heights at night....

How I Can Get On Who Wants to Be A Millionnaire?

Really, I am serious. I just want to see if I will still be able to answer all the questions correct without using any of my lifelines......Honest, I do it all the time at home. Pls give me a chance. Its really not about the money. Yeah right! lol!

But really seriously, DNW wonders if MTN can go a step further and search out some of our nations' wonderful wonderful teachers. You know those ones that taught us cos they loved us...like Mrs. Enenmo, my BK teacher from school.....Anyway, DNW hails MTN sha, good show that WDTBAM!

What On Earth Is Up With NEPA!!!!?????

I tell you, I now know, with no doubt whatsoever that our beloved country has no government!!!!!! DNW wonders what on earth the people we put (or who put themselves) in government are doing about the fact that there has been no electricity in most parts like since....FOREVER!

DNW wonders if I am dreaming it or did i hear that some bigwigs in PHCN actually bring in generators to sell!!!!! how mad is that?

OK, I guess you are right, I should spend my time wondering about problems that actually stand a chance of being resolved soon....like perhaps the excess 5 kg I am carrying around with me lol!

Why oh Why Do Children Run Such High Fevers.....

Yes, they toss and turn and burn all night. You do not get any sleep cos you are watching over them. You never know , they might just self combust while you sleep! You rush them to the doctors in the morning and half way through the examinations and the hellish blood test, the child suddenly feels better!

God forbid if you are using an office medical centre and your boss happens to come down to say hello and see how you are doing and sees the 'sick, i don't know what is wrong, am so upset, have had no sleep' child running up and down the hospital hallway! Yup, you look like you just used your child to skive a day off work.

Guess not.

DNW wonders why we cannot just have a slice in time when bolts of lightening will strike people dead on the spot! OK, a bit harsh but there is so much wrong with our society....DNW wonders what we would do if God treated us the way he treated the Israelites in the Old Testament......

Why The Devil Had No Real Interest in Me Before......

Yes, when I was a benchwarming-go-to-church-on-sunday-christian, the enemy did not have my time. So what gives now.....Its like I take a stand to take my faith serious and all of sudden, all hell breaks loose. DNW is wondering why Did God have to brag about Job too? So many questions!

Why Everything that tastes SO good is usually SO bad for you?

What To Do When Your Dad is Vexing With you?

This is for real. My dad has not spoken to me since the 11th of May 2009. To be honest I have not tried to call. Me, too, I am upset. But I have extended the olive branch via sms messages which till date have been ignored. At least, I did not get any replies. DNW wonders what to do when Papas are cold warring you.....

Why We Wiggle Our Feet.....

Hmmmmm, makes sense!

Why A Man Cheats and....

Ok, so you saw this one coming. lol! Well as long as am wondering, I might as well ponder about this cos I just do not get it. A man cheats and he is just being a guy. A woman does the same and she is a .... you now what! A man can walk out on his child and that's just 'typical' but let a woman try that and she will be branded heartless. DNW really wonders if there can ever really be any 'calming' response to this?

How Come Pens Like Playing Hide n Seek?

DNW is just wondering how come you can never find a pen when you need one real bad BUT when you dont, there are like 12 of them lying round at the bottom of your bag?

I am thinking there is a planet out there somewhere, far far away where the Alien - Pen and his alien wife Pencil live and plan how to drive me bonkers everytime I got to the bank and need to sign somthing. Am just wondering....do I need to chain a pen to all my bags? lol? And dont get me started on the why the printer always breaks down when I need to print something urgent. Its a war against humans I tell you!
