21 Days of Praise: Day 11 - Counting Daily Blessings

Welcome to Day 11 of our #21DaysofPraise series! Today, we focus on the multitude of blessings that God showers upon us daily. Often, in the hustle and bustle of life, we may overlook the small, yet significant ways God blesses us each day.

Praise for Daily Blessings

She is a daily reminder… 😊

Verse of the Day: Psalm 103:2-5

“Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” — (NIV)

“With my whole heart—with my whole life and with my innermost being—I bow in wonder and love before you, the holy God! Yahweh, you are my soul’s celebration. How could I ever forget the miracles of kindness you’ve done for me? You’ve kissed my heart with forgiveness, in spite of all I’ve done. You’ve healed me inside and out from every disease. You’ve rescued me from hell and saved my life. You’ve crowned me with love and mercy. You satisfy my every desire with good things. You’ve supercharged my life so that I soar again like a flying eagle in the sky!” — (TPT)

Every morning, I try to start my day by counting my blessings. From the breath in my lungs to the roof over my head, these daily blessings are constant reminders of God’s goodness. I keep a gratitude diary (or journal as it is now called), jotting down every little blessing I noticed throughout the day. This practice shifted my perspective, and I began to see God’s hand in every detail of my life. Even the seemingly insignificant moments—like a kind word from a friend or a beautiful picture—became powerful reminders of God’s love and care.

This is one of the many reasons I look forward to November. Every day, I intentionally share my thoughts, experiences, and blessings publicly. By the end of the year, I am always in awe. God is so faithful. Check out my November to Remember Diaries.

Week By Week Baby Bump Progression Photos

I have loved taking my own photos every few weeks and watching my body change and grow up to birthing a human!!

Baby Bump Photos

As cliché as it sounds, witnessing what the female mind, body and spirit can pull off, first hand, has been pretty amazing.

Important: I think all women, mothers or not, have this strength inside of them. But pregnancy really does reveal that strength to you.

Growing a big tummy for your baby can be so fascinating. May everyone trying to conceive experience the bliss that comes with pregnancy very soon. Amen.

Dear Diary, This Is A Husband Appreciation Entry

I'll be celebrating six months in marriage in 1,2,3,4 days. I thought it'll be fun to appreciate my husband in my diary. I don't do it enough.

To My Husband

I prayed and talked about my Future Husband for a long time. See here, here, there and there. Little did I know that you had existed in my past and were already in my present. If I had known you were the one God had instructed me to do that 21-Day Public Prayer and Fasting for ehn, I probably wouldn't have prayed with such passion and zeal. Lol.

Kachi, you are my answered prayer. You are the man of my dreams. Not just that, you are the man who has slain the dragons in my nightmares. You have exceeded my dreams, brought to life a man my dreams didn’t know existed.

3 Awesome Blessings For The Unemployed

This is the second part of 'How To Stay Hopeful While Searching For A Job'.

Yes, I'm an entrepreneur. But I am also somewhere between having a job and no job.

Blessed Are The Unemployed

After the interview, days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months, yet I heard nothing from anyone.

Dear Diary, Oga Shoemaker Tempted Me

He was by the roadside side. And I thought about having another "side hustle" like him!

Oga Shoemaker

As I was catwalking to the bus-stop, one of my sandals decided to talk to me. It opened its mouth and I was embarrassed.

The Fullness

It's with fullness of expectation and anticipation that I pen down and share these thoughts . . .

Fullness Of Time

Again, another recent word about GRACE - and with it comes the Fullness of Blessing!

Lord, Please Forgive Me For Not Being Grateful Enough

My thanksgiving account is so in the red. I have not been as grateful as I'm expected to be. I am currently filling in my account.

Gratitude Challenge

Last weekend, I attended The RCCG Holy Ghost Service at The Redemption camp. That was where I was reminded of how ungrateful I had been to God. I was reminded three times.

At the 11th Hour

Let's not pretend. It is that time of the year when we tend to reflect on what we hoped to achieve and have not achieved yet. Sometimes it makes our hearts go weary, and even causes depression. But hey, I'm here to tell you - IT'S NOT OVER YET. 

The Eleventh Hour Miracle

Yesterday was January. . . and today is November. That's just how it seems. 

Happy New Beginnings!

*inhales* I love the smell of new beginnings. It's always fresh and super exciting. *giggles* I could have scheduled to post for Monday but this one is too hot for me to wait. We need it like right now. It is fresh from the oven. . . as e dey hot! 

NEW Beginnings

I bring Good News! God is starting something new this season. I'm not just saying. I am making a decree! This is not the normal truism but a prophetic word. It's better we key into it already!

PODCAST: The Gift

Yayy. . . It's Friday! I have a special feeling on Fridays. I just can't explain it. It's ecstatic. (*whispers* I just might get married on a Friday. Who knows?)

I'm so excited because something BIG is about to happen. I started the week by telling you that when God wants to bless us, He gives us new ideas. I believe God is pouring out His blessings on us this season. We need to get our hearts prepared and positioned to receive. The basic concern for today is learning to receive God's blessings with the right attitude. Many times, we do not recognize our blessings when we receive them. We experience blessings in disguise everyday. We just never know it.

Today, I'm ROL (Reading Out Loud). This is a story from inspirationalstories.com.

Rays of Blessings. . .

Can an Ant Swallow a Lion?

Since I found Twitter, I dumped Facebook. I feel I'd be cheating on Twitter when I go to Facebook. (Just kidding, I visit Facebook once in a while) Anyway, that's not the point. This post was inspired by a tweet.

Can an Ant Swallow a Lion

What do you think? Got any reason for your answer?

It's Time for some M's

Oh yes! It's time for some M's. Everyone has got a need for some M's at one point or the other. I do too. In fact I particularly need one right now.

When God be like: Hey man, I want to bless somebody. Somebody needs a breakthrough. So, I'll be dishing out some M's today. Need any?

And you don't understand what He means. You be like: Erm. . .erm. . .
