Often times, we have been in situations where we do not know what to do. We don't know if we should go Left, where nothing seem right...or if we should go Right, where nothing is left. We rationalize... we ponder on what to do, we read books, we talk to friends and some times put up a brave front and act as if it doesn't matter. But we know what we feel in those quiet moments when we are alone, when no one is watching, when we are left with out thoughts and fears and uncertainties...when we know time is running out and we need to make a decision fast...and we fear that the decision we make might not be the right one.
At times like this, you need to go to Nineveh
Nineveh a small town in Indiana that has a 4-way stop, a laundry mart, a fruit stand, a feed & seed.....and a few crappy houses...lol, I kid I kid but that's besides the point. Nineveh in my mind, is a place where you really do not want to go, Nineveh is that option you don't want to pick... your head tells you that its a waste of time, your body tells you that's not where the answers to your questions are... your friends cant imagine what the heck you are packing up to go do in Nineveh...the people there are not your class, they are not of your social strata... you need to be anywhere else but there. I mean you are just too cool to agree to Nineveh
But then...Nineveh is the place where you find your peace, not necessarily because its a peaceful place, but because its where God says you should go. Often times, our spirits (hearts) already shows us the path we should take...but we allow our soul (mind) talk us out of it, by giving us solid ground breaking iron tight reasons why it shouldn't be so... Like Jonah, we'd rather go elsewhere because we just don't know how going down that lane would benefit us, and so we keep searching for answers, answers that we have already gotten but are too intelligent/wise to see.
Nineveh may not be the final destination... but it could just be the lane that leads you to the right path. It may not be lined up with roses...but it would bring you peace. It may not be what you want, but it is what you need. God doesn't send you anywhere without a reason... The question is: do you trust HIM enough to obey?
Most people would have been millionaires by now if only they hadn't scorned that job offer letter they received then to work in that company (Nineveh) that looked too lowly for their degree and status...
Most ladies wouldn't be weeping and living in regrets today because they married the wealthy, tall, dark and handsome man of their dreams who turned out to be nothing but a wife beating cheat...If only they hadn't run from the man their spirits felt at peace with, all because he is short, chubby and just 'comfortable' (Nineveh). Right?
What, who or where are you running from?

When We Celebrate.....
...we dey pop champagne...we dey pop champagne...we dey pop champagne.
See me oooo...I didnt even remember to remember NUTTY J's BLOG anniversary. That's bad. Na so I for forget if not for Menaukodoisready
For those who dont know...NUTTY J's BLOG which started as 'Diary Of Nutty Jennifer' was birthed in December 2009. The blog owner (my humble self) was so lost and a tad confused as to how exactly to go about blogging in blogspot, having opened an account in word press earlier (which was later deleted) that it took her another two months, of snooping around other blogs in blogsville, laying a comment here and there (to make her presence known) to start blogging. So the first blog post (which was deleted too) was actually in February 2010.
The reason I joined this great family of ours was due to some unrest I was getting on facebook. My friends had a way of inboxing me, after I publish a note, to say 'hmmm...na wa oooo, shey u know you are single, saying things like this or that wont get you a good man oooo' or ''Jay why do you talk like this, dont say things like this in a public forum''
So where exactly can I get a place where freedom of speech thrives? Where I can express my fears, worries, religious beliefs, find trouble, share happy times, without feeling like I just commited a crime. It wasnt long before a still small voice said:
'my daughter open your eyes....what do you see?'
' I see a place... with Brilliant Loving Organised Girls & Guys where self Expression can be Real'
'my daughter that is the....wait where are you going you silly child?!?!?'
I didnt wait for that voice to complete its sentence...I had packed my bags and properties to a land called 'wordpress' it didnt take long for me to come back with head bows and tails tucked in crying:
'oh...thou hath misled me, had I known oooo'
'Dear Child....that is not the land which I had promised thee''
'no....I no do again'
'You are being emotional....once again what do you want'
'A place with Brilliant, Loving, Organised Girls & Guys where self-Expressions can be Real'
'Open your eyes'
'oh...men....I see now...B-L-O-G-G-E-R'
Na so oooo....somehow I stumbled on Ex-school Nerd's blog and Mamuje's blog and that sealed it....and since then my life has never remained the same. The doors were opened unto me and I was accepted into this family and now I have online peace. So in theory 'Nutty J's Blog' blogday is December 2009... but since she was in the incubator till February, we can safely say her practical blogday is "FEB 2010"

We say thank you for your support and opinions this past year...and for not 'blocking' or 'defriending' me when I get controversial on your blogs sometimes. Nutty J's Blog appreciates and loves all her followers and secret admirers.
Una Wado ooooooooooo
Oya tell her Happy blogday in arraers.
