Good evening everyone...

I jus thrt i wud use this entry to say that i discovered last wkend that im 23 goin on 90!!!!!

I went 2 london 2 visit some of my gud mates frm uni, and we went out 2 the pub and 2 night club in Camden called 'koko bar', and didnt leave til past 4am!!

Now....there was a time wen inside i wud hav bn like 'woohoo....bring on the partyin'...i can stay out longer than 4am....woohoo' (yes i WAS a bit of a 'wild one' bak in the day...which is why i used TWO woohoos instead of jus the one ; D).

But i am tellin u...i cant do it anymore!! By midnite...i felt like a sack of old potatoes..i was tired, heavy and jus didnt wnt 2 move at all. My mates were lapping it up....but all i wntd 2 do was go 2 bed : (!!!!

To sound like an 'old fuddy duddy'...HOW DO PEOPLE HAVE THE ENERGY???!!! I used 2 b able 2 do this sort of thing nite after nite during uni, and my old london uni mates STILL can do it, me on the other hand..... I feel like wen it comes 2 doin the whole 'all nite partyin thng'....im am PROPER past it!!!!!

Is this hw it hpns then? One minute ure young and vibrant with as much energy as a 6 yr old pepped up on 2much coca cola, then b4 u kno it u find urself wanting nothing more than 2 go home, put on ur old man (or old woman depending) slippers, kick back and enjoy a good episode of murder she wrote???!!! And if this is me now at 23, wat will i b like at 30...40...50????!!!!

Take this as a warning...all of u who r reading this and thnkn 'wat borin old loser....shu'up and sit dwn'..... enjoy urselves now, make use of all that excess energy u hav, cuz soon u will b like me....shunning the tiring life of the 'wkend hard partyn routine' and EMBRACING the comforts of hot chocolate and reruns of inspector morse on ITV.......jus u wait and c :D!!!!!!

Ritey one and all....after that rant, im off....its a friday nite, and i am NOT goin out clubbing, im gana carry on with my book ('The Constant Gardener'..u ALL shud read it....its brill!!)

Good bless xx

Helo one and all!!!

I hav a 20 minute window b4 one of my fav programmes comes on (NCIS 4 any1 who is interested), so i thrt i wud use this time 2 expand on the 'unexpected turns' comment i made in my last entry.

I studied at the Uni of Kent in Canterbury, and for my final year i went to The City Church there, and after my degree (i did a BSc in Economics), i did a year out volunteering in the church, specifically with the elderly.

At the end of June 2005 i left Canterbury, thnkn i wud return and get a job there. But it didnt quite go 2 plan.....I was praying to God, and i was convinced that that was where He wntd me, and so kept applying for jobs there and everything.

Anywayz, to cut a long story short...i ended up getn a job near where my parents live, which is near Leeds. I now reside in a place called Wakefield, and work in an Independent Financial Advisory firm. I will b honest and say that i was 'annoyd' at God, and decided to tell Him, in detail, that i was 'displeased' with His decision (any1 who knows me can imagine how that went, and for those of u who dnt, carry on reading my entries, and u'll get a picture of wat im like : D!!). Now i was bak living with my parents, and away from the church family that had become an important part of my life. It seemed that evrythng that i wntd and the place i had grown 2 love had bn taken away by God, for a reason i STILL dnt understand.

But 2 encourage christians who may b in a similar situation, in that they do not know what God is doin with there life, and where He is taking them, read Acts 17 v 26-30. God used that verse to change how i looked at the situation, and I am now learning more and more that it is HE who is in control of my destiny, and that even tho i dnt understand why He does things, He does them for my benefit and His glory, and so the outcome will ALWAYS b gud.

Well, that is the short of it without goin into 2much detail.....and for those of u who think that wasn't short...that is for me!!!!!!!

Ritey, thats that. I shall leave u all now 2 go and watch NCIS (for those of u who havnt heard of it b4 or havnt watchd it..do so. It is WELL gud).

So until my next entry, God Bless xx

Helo Everyone!

It is half 12 at night, and i have decided to make my first entry into this thing.

To those of you who kno me, zup peops : D, and to those of you who don't, my name is Olumide Ajulo (Olu/Oli for short). I am 23, a born again christian, and i now reside in a place called Wakefield (just outside of Leeds).

I have decide to be a 'copy cat' : s, and start my own blog. There are many reasons...but the main ones are that it will save me money on phone bills (my friends can read wat has bn hpnin 2 me instead of me tellin them : D), and also i want to use it to document my life, and the struggles and triumphs i go through as a christian. My life in the past 8 months has taken some 'unexpected' turns, and i guess i thought that if i wrote them down in a place where others can read it, it would help encourage christians to trust God, even when they don't understand wat he is doing in their lives, and also give non christians insight into why we believe what we believe, and how we then fit our lives around it.

Hopefully there will be some things mixed in that will make you laugh (or cringe with embarrassment ; D), but ultimately I just want to use this page to thank and honour God, for all of the things He has done and given to me, and all the things He continues to do.

Rite, im off to bed. Gudnite all

Oh, as a 'treat' for all you readers : D, i put a picture of myself at the top. Oh, and in case you were wondering, yes i am THAT good looking ; D. God bless xx
