And it was that time of the year where lovers of the creator in the whole world gathered together to give praises and thanks to the creator of the universe.

So in my country the gathering was scheduled in different region and so I fall among the people who gather at the international stadium here in Uyo. This year such large gathering was held in three different places at Abuja port Harcourt and Uyo. So I fall among the people who attended at Uyo, it was 1-3 of August, I was blessed to have started the month with good encouraging and motivating training.

Since it was a very important gathering I and my family were really prepared both mentally physically and spiritually to be part and parcel of this spiritual gathering for 3 days.

Before now I have already blocked in my account when I voluntarily cooked for 120 volunteers, do you remember? You can read about it here.

So these volunteers were working to set up the international stadium that has of 30,000 capacity. The cleaning the sound the safety and every other department that was necessary to control a crowd of this number.

How about in preparation to face regional convention, we keep all things in place arrange a schedule and work schedule and every other activity is to be sure that we will present happily to attend.

On the first day we were already eager to hear the different encouraging talks that will be given. So we wake up early kids are prepared and be sure that we arrive there safely and on time so I have to benefit from all the programs.

Day 1

Living in a world that is being controlled by someone who doesn't love you is not easy each day we face temptation, we don't need to run away from it but we need to be courageous and firm to any temptation that comes away knowing fully well that we have someone a creator who is always ready to help us overcome any temptation.

With me and my lovely husband and my dear daughter, she is a drama queen, she wasn't even ready to take pictures with us. But she was captured while running away.

With my students who came for the three days and my daughter with her student as well.

She was busy showing her how to style for photograph, it was fun though.

We also met with different people, make new friends and we saw people we've not seen for many months and even years.

We also missed some friends because it was really a larger gathering, we can't see everyone.

Day 2

This Saturday I was reminded of how jesus performed miracle then I picture so many scenarios in the event and also learn a lesson from it. It looks very easy and simple when Jesus turn water to wine, please help me picture the future promises that will be fulfilled so it will be very easy as well.

Saturday lunch, African friend rice it was delicious as well.

Day 3

The same process was repeated and woke up early in the morning I prepared African fried rice for lunch yeah we eat rice for the 3 days for lunch because it was very easy to pack and go along with.

So going for any other meal would have been very stressful so we decided to go on that for the 3 days.

But with different recipes jollof rice, fried rice and coconut rice so it was different times of rice but it was rice. We alternated it with different news within the player like the breakfast and dinner with difference so I so much thank my crew for accepting to go with that because it was easy for me and not stressful.

This Sunday we plan to dress in a uniform like a family and that's me with my in-law

With my daughter and hubby

This lies there was really awesome the programs were quite touching one of the talk which says do you worship what you know? Really help me to think of the decision I made and I realised that we really need to worship what we know and what we don't know. Every other part we're also touching then I left with acknowledging what I know and remain in it.

It was quite really interesting that up till today I couldn't forget it and I never wish to forget all the lessons I learnt and the time I spent with my loved ones and with people who worship what they know, People who acknowledge pure worship, people who remain in pure worship.

It was certainly a unique experience to be with so many believers of your faith, gathered to worship and give thanks to God. The video you shared captures that spirit and encouragement. It was beautiful to see your daughter dancing.

I liked the photo overlays and the fluidity of the story. My advice: get used to shooting horizontally.

I saw the photos of the seafood and chicken rice dish. 😋
