Welcome!!!

Hi, my name is Blessing Havana. My friends call me Bee or Bless, I actually prefer Princess Bibi hehe. I'm currently studying abroad for a semester at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, UK and I created this blog just as way for family and friends to keep up with what's going on here. I am very excited for what God is going to do in my life and through me while I'm here, I'm excited to meet new people, to make covenant friends, and to learn things that will change the way I look at Scotland, and at life. My goals: to grow immensely in every possible way, to be used by God and to walk in my purpose, to have a GREAT time and to lose a little bit of weight (hold me accountable ya'll).
So friends, I hope you join me on this journey...it will be fun and I'll do my best to keep you posted.
Much love,
Princess Bibi :)

Do it, do it, do it...learning how to live :)











My sincerest apologies, dear faithful readers, for a late update. But, here it is! My oh my, learn from me people, do your work on time!!! I repeat, don't be last minute people my oh my, ahhhh. I had quite an eventful Sunday night and Monday morning, trying to write a Philosophy book review. If you know any philosophy at all, then you must know how boring it is, therefore the need to read it when your mind is alive and you are very critical, for me that's in the morning, so needless to say, my attempt last night was dismal! So basically I wrote a 6 page paper in 2 hours and submitted it one minute before the deadline, yay me! You have absolutely no idea, the adrenaline rush, the panic, my oh my...never again. Once again, hero of the day award goes to the Holy Spirit- my standby...He took control and I wrote one of the best reviews of my life.

I also didn't get many pictures taken because I wasn't my usual bubbly self, and I'm a very bad pretender...so you can see right through me. Why was I low? Because I hadn't done my work, and I was having a little bit of facebook withdrawal...but I'm all bright and shiny now, although the weather isn't. This weekend was spent indoors, doing work- boring ha...but today made it all worthwhile. I just got back from Debate, me and my partner came first! The motion was: This house would allow individuals to sell their organs, and we were for the topic. We had so much fun!

I entitled this post "do it, do it..." because I just found out that secret and I thought you should know it too! When I am under pressure, or stressed, either I sleep, I watch something on tv, or I eat a lot! Eventually, after drowning in the misery, I realize I have no choice but to pray, and do it, or sit down and work out a plan. Obviously, the latter plans yield better results. So this week, I just learned to do it. Many of the times, I don't feel like it, I don't want to, and I could easily find an excuse...but I still have to do it, and the thing is, I don't die! Everything about life and especially the Christian walk, is about doing...do good works...work out your own salvation, run the race, do praise, do love, do forgive, do good works, do walk in righteousness, do follow Me...it's all about doing....the moment you stop doing, you start dying...cause we were created to do good works...we were created to be with God, created for a purpose...And there are so many things that stop us from doing, fear is the obvious one...laziness another. But I've just resolved to be like Esther, who said...if i perish, i perish. So I'm gonna debate even if I don't know what I'm saying, write the paper no matter how impossible it seems, speak out, even if people may hate me or judge me for it...if i perish, i perish...buuut, what if I live, what if I win, what if it all works out...so I'm gonna do it, and I hope you will too :) Have a blessed week!
