HERE’S WHAT’S UP: TEN THINGS

We di chop, we di chop

We di born, we di born…

That’s what was sung at a “born house” we attended last two weeks. Born House is a Cameroonian celebration done to welcome a new baby. At such events the signature dish Born House Planti, which is plantain heavy laden with red oil and bitterleaf is served. It was interesting to see the same tradition being re-enacted though we are many miles away from home.

2. Mom survival tactics are on as we try to spoonfeed our toodler with warm cereal so she can have a full tummy and sleep well. Ha

3. We are so looking forward to Friday night because we will be going for a moms’ night out event with other Christian ladies. A comedian has been charged with the task of making us laugh till our ribs can’t take it anymore.

5. We have missed the farmer’s market for many weeks now and we're wondering if they are still on. The vegetables from that market look so authentic. Love them.

6. Has anyone watched the movie, God’s Compass? Mr N watched it and said it appeared like a sequel to the movie, “War Room”. Some of the main characters in War Room act in the movie.

7. The work on our blog these past days can be described with these three words: blood, sweat and tears. We have learned A LOT. If we can do this, then we can do anything. To have a strong building that stands the test of time, you have to build a firm foundation. Building that foundation is never easy. You have to dig deep and arrange rocks. Ahh! Thank God for strength.

8. We're thinking of how the message of Christ’s imminent return is so rare these days. When we remember that Jesus is coming soon, it spurs us to sit up and to make opportunity of every time because the days are evil and the time is short. We pray you do same, our friend. Always remember that this life is just a phase. Live for the things that are eternal.

9. Prayers for the people in Haiti. May God uphold them through it all. Scripture says He is close to the brokenhearted. May all the stranded people find comfort and warmth.

10. Prayers for you reading this. May you wake up everyday and find reasons to live in all fullness of life as the Lord wants you to. Life is sweet when God is in it.

Have a great week, our friends!
