The Diary Game: Today Is My Birthday (07-08-2025)

Hi everyone, how are you all doing today? The weather has been so cold lately and I hope you are all doing wonderfully well, alright, today is my birthday and as usual it was low key, just a little celebration with my family members, me, my husband and my son. Let me brief you.

I woke up in the morning with profound gratitude to God for keeping me alive to see another beautiful year added to me in good health and sound mind, I might not have everything that I have dreamt to have but just the life I have is more than enough, my family still intact and my hubby still Loving me is more than what I should have asked for. I went outside and was reflecting on God's love towards me.

My heart was filled with joy and I was just smiling after realizing how much I am loved, my siblings called and wished me well, they even transferred some money to my account to use and celebrate my day, I felt loved and looked after. So after some times I decided to cook for my family and also for myself, I had to just give myself small special treatment from the money I was given.

So I bought local rice but one problem about this local rice is that you have to come sit and blow off the chaffs from it and also select the stones if not you will have your teeth to deal with after cracking so much sand in the rice. I had to sit with my son and select the rice till I was satified that it was okay then I parboiled it. I parboiled it for like 5 minutes and it became soft so I took it down and washed it the put it back on fire to continue the cooking.

I prepared party Jellof for myself and bought Bigi Cola to drink, remember it's my birthday and I am permitted to drink anything as far as it doesn't harm me and as long as it's non-alcoholic because my head can't carry alcohol and secondly I don't take alcohol because of my beliefs. I had a wonderful time eating my party jollof with my drink.

After eating, I dressed the bed, took my bath and went to it, there I began to pray and thanked God for keeping me alive despite everything that has happened throughout last year and this year. My mouth couldn't stop singing praises to God because the testimony of my life is just between me and my God, I don't think anyone can actually relate with the pains I have gone through yet God has decided in His infinite love and mercy to keep me.

After I woke up, it was evening time, and it was time to go to church, I dressed up and went on my way to church, you need to see a beautiful pastor, wide and mother. I had to stay to church because you know why? It is my day and I am living it to the fullest. When I got to church, I was given a special treatment and they sang a birthday song for me as well. I felt loved, 'this is family' I said to myself.

After church service, I bags and went back home. Singing and praising God on my way back. When I got home, I saw my husband already at home, he had bought chicken for us to eat and also celebrate my day as well, I feel today shouldn't end because I feel like I belong to the people with the show of love and I am not taking it for granted. Once again, Happy Birthday To Me.
