In Every Victory

Hello there, my beloved friends!

Congratulations to all of you who have graduated!!!!! And to those who are in the process of completing your studies, all the best to you!!!!

I realize that while I was celebrating my joyous moments, there were others who were struggling with failure and feeling terrible about not being able to graduate yet...and note that I said YET. But all is not lost...It's not the end of the world for them...Before they know it, they'll be back on their feet again..striving hard to complete their studies and enjoying every moment of their remaining university life! It's the best, really! They will realize that it's only a matter of time before they graduate! Difficult moments are an inevitable part of life, and they are there to make us stronger and learn about life. Hope is always there no matter how hopeless things may seem:)

As you know, I have already graduated, and I really thank God for blessing me graciously with a First Class Honours award of degree.

My years in university were so blessed and my final semester in university had been so remarkable and unforgettable. I had learnt so much about life and God in just those few intense months.


As I have shared in my blog and even personally with some of you, my final semester in university was not only intensely challenging with my studies; examinations and assignments, responsibilities as Vice President in my club, financial difficulties (delayed study loan disbursement) and health problems but also a love relationship, which naturally implicated family. Initiating and handling break ups during examination times, and dealing with pressure from family regarding the relationship was extremely stressful…in fact more stressful than sitting for my most difficult examination paper!..

I can only say that surviving that ordeal and still obtaining a First Class Honours was not my own achievement. I could never have done it without the love, strength, discipline, wisdom, knowledge, hope, support and comfort of Christ, and the friendships and everything He gave me through the wonderful people around me ( you know who you are) .I thank God for you and I want to thank all of you, my precious friends, for being there with me through thick and thin.

With that, I conclude with this short but meaningful and beautiful song thatI learnt at a Christian conference years ago.

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory
In the power of the Cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone.

God bless you!!!
