An honest moment...

Good evening everyone!
          I hope you all are enjoying the weekend, I know I am. I have had the most challenging weak of my life so far and I am just recovering from it. I had 6 final exams in 6 days and also had alot of personal issues I had to deal with. But like I knew he would, God intervened and ensured that I got through the week. So far I have gotten As on the exams I have gotten back and the issues have been resolved. So I am more than grateful to God. I have one more on monday and then I am off to Nigeria for about 3 weeks. I am so looking forward to the break, but the recent flight cancellations and terrible weather reports have got me really apprehensive about it. Hopefully, everything goes well and I have no delays or cancellations. Fingers crossed!
           So recent events have made me reconsider and change my initial plan for the blog. Originally, I hoped to perform a good deed everyday and blog about for the next year. Unfortunately I do not think I will be able to do exactly that for some reasons. First of all, my demanding school schedule and work load has made it increasingly difficult to plan and do these deeds everyday. That leaves me making a lot of online donations to organizations to make up for that. This has been the trend for the past few days and I am beginning to find it bothersome because continuing that trend might be financially difficult and unfulfilling. There is this joy I get from planing deeds and donating my time to them that is lacking with online donations. Don't get me wrong, they are an awesome way to help people. But I just wish I could do more. So I am deciding to blog about as many deeds as I can do, which might not happen everyday. I prefer to take the time to really give from my heart than just making donations because I feel obligated. Which is what the past few days have been feeling like.
           I am sad and really regret that my current situation (school schedule and student budget) has not afforded me the luxury to do these deeds everyday as planned. But I hope to do as much as I can and keep my giving as consistent as possible. I will still post all of my deeds, both completed and planned, and try my best to inspire others to get involved and give to others. Like I stated earlier, I will be traveling to Nigeria next week and therefore will not be able to blog for about 3 days  depending on when I get internet access. But I promise to keep you all posted on my deeds as soon as I can and also post planned events to try to get as many on board as possible. I really appreciate the words of encouragement, help and involvement I have gotten since I started blogging. Please this change is not an indication of decreasing commitment, rather it is me adjusting to my situation to ensure that I can continue. God willing, I will be able to get back to my initial intentions.

Lots of love xxx.
