So We Do Not Forget (SWDNF) Stories

I have decided to document stories of God's acts in my life going forward. Please note that I might not document all the stories but would try my best to write the most I can.  I recall watching a YouTube Video on the Lakewood church last week and the speaker, a lady mentioned writing our God stories. I had a lot of stories to tell but then I would not call it God stories but 'So we do not forget'. I recall sending a link to Kiity of one of the topic on this blog and we realized how much history we had documented here and have actually forgotten.  This is my reason to do the SWDNF. It's not going to be a popular acronym as it does not spark an immediate connection. However, I do not aim for it to be popular as always. God has been Good. 

SWDNF2: Praising God delivered Kiity and I

Yes. It did. I woke up this morning and remembered a scene in a movie series called Abattoir, where some fellowship students were praising God and their fellow student was raised back to life. I immediately remembered an occurrence in our life. Probably two strange ones come to mind. But this one first. It was in April 2018. I had recently resigned from BEDC and would have to leave the BEDC training school where I doubled as the BEDC Power systems School training coordinator and Technical assistant to the South West Regional head of BEDC. I had to leave the Elizade University environment where we held the training courses. I drove in a Kia Rio 2014 with Kiity and were on the way to Alagbaka in Akure where our house was.  On the way, just by FUTA gate, some undocumented local government billers who looked like riff-raffs stopped us and put road blockers on the way. The car we drove in was partly private and partly owned by the bank. They mentioned that since the bank's name was on t...

Dam tot Dam loop Business Run - 5miles or 8km - Done!

  Yes, I did. And it was fun. I ran the Dam tot Dam loop Business Run 5Miles. And it was amazing to do this for the first time ever in 2024.  I got to know about the run about 2 months ago during a chat with Jana Reiss and I was interested. I had seen a friend and former line manager at MainOne, Ayomide, run marathons and amass medals from the run. I have also seen another former line manager, Vremudia run a lot including the marathons.  Living in the Netherlands made it easy to join the band wagon. You have roads with a bicycle path and the walk way aside the road for cars. Thus, I loved to joined the band wagon and have now taken part in the first long distance run.  I did the run the 8K in 1:08:10 Hrs. the best runner of the day did it in 25 mins. A pretty long way to get to for me. But I recall in my practice, the first time I did the 8K was 1:15:00 Hrs and the second time 1:09:00 Hrs. So a little improvement but definitely within my plan. I wasn't aiming to be t...
