SEME'S NOOKS

Good morning and welcome to my worship corner. Today's feature is "I will sing" lyrics by Don Moen. This very song ministers to me in a very special way all the time, especially in my very lowest moments when I gave up on life.  You see, there came a time when I questioned my very existence and everything I thought I knew suddenly became a lie.  This song was all that I had in my secret place and every single word fed my spirit and nurtured me back to life and that is how I blossom.  Halleluyah. As you meditate on these words today, it is my prayer that you find your voice through it. The voice of hope.  The voice of God. Amen. I will sing Lyrics by Don Moen. "Lord, You seem so far away A million miles or more, it feels today And though I haven't lost my faith I must confess right now That it's hard for me to pray But I don't know what to say And I don't know where to start But as You give the grace With all that's in my heart I will sing, yes, I

I saw a funny video online today where a lady fell off an escalator. It made me laugh so hard and I also remembered something. Please come along with me! I had just come to Lagos for my NYSC in 2010. Here I met Dee. Dee had all the good looks and you could refer to him as your "tall, dark and handsome" kinda guy. Dee was staying on the Island at that time and I was with my Uncle somewhere on the mainland, Ikotun area precisely.  Dee knew all the cool spots in town and he was so determined to take me on all his tours around town and the fact that I was a boring "journey just come" village girl wasn't helping matters. So, one Saturday morning I got a call from Dee; "babe can we see a movie today"?  he continued "don't worry  I will send the direction on where you'll meet me up" and hung up very quickly before I could say anything.  I already had plans to sleep all day (PS: sleep used to be my day job, every other thing including my NYSC

Good morning Tribe and welcome to worship corner. This morning we are reminded of the most beautiful and powerful name ever known. The name is JESUS. The name Jesus has silenced the boast, of sin and grave. The heavens roars the praise of His glory and we are raised to life in Christ Jesus with only that name; no rival, no equal.  Only Jesus is King. Halleluyah. Enjoy this beautiful lyrics by Hillsong. **********     **********     **********     **********     **********     ********** What a beautiful name it is Lyrics by Hillsong What A Beautiful Name You were the Word at the beginning One With God the Lord Most High Your hidden glory in creation Now revealed in You our Christ What a beautiful Name it is What a beautiful Name it is The Name of Jesus Christ my King What a beautiful Name it is Nothing compares to this &.it is The Name of Jesus You didn’t want heaven without us So Jesus, You brought heaven down My sin was great, Your love was greater What could separate us now What

TGIF TRIBE! How have you all been fairing, especially with the lockdown and restrictions all as a result of the pandemic that has trapped the entire world? Well, I have been coping just fine, except for the fact that I need to always wear a mask each time I step out of my house which leaves me gasping for air all the time because I'm claustrophobic.                                             #maskupLagos Thank God for the ease of the total lockdown and things are gradually returning to normal, although I doubt if things will ever be how they use to be but it's a lot better than how it was when it first hit us. Reminds me of my experience in April, it was the first time I stepped out of the house since the March 30th Lagos lockdown. I went out to get food refill. Halfway through my journey, I began to wonder if the lockdown was over because of the number of people outside, maybe everyone else has somewhere going or maybe not. So I stopped bothering myself with questions. The ma

Good morning and welcome to my worship corner. My worship corner is my Armory. My secret and most trusted place.  My SafeHouse. Many battles have been won in this place. Many dreams have been birthed here, one of So many is this blog that we now have to call our own. To the glory of God. As you set out today, be reminded that Christ alone is our hope and in Him is the foundation for everything whatsoever. Take some time out to meditate on this song. I hope it blesses you as much as it has blessed me. **********         **********        **********        **********        **********       In Christ Alone  Lyrics by Stuart Townsend & Keith Getty. In Christ alone, my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This Cornerstone, this Solid Ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ, I stand In Christ alone who took on flesh Fulln

We are celebrating children's day today and I can't help but reminisce about my childhood. As a little village girl back in Uzebba, Edo state, Nigeria, a children's day celebration was something I always looked forward to, well every child my age did. We had fun activities and all. We will usually practice March past and eagerly wait for the big day when we will all be transported to the Local government council secretariat for a march past parade. On the big day, the council secretariat is filled with pupils from different schools ready for the parade having the small ones like me usually in front of the parade who will have the sole honor of having a handshake with the Local government chairman. We will all gladly sit on the field afterward, as we munch on our biscuit and gulp down hot fizzle drinks under the scorching Sun while we wait for the result to be announced. Now I wonder why we never felt the sun hot on our skin or maybe life was just a lot easier then. That was

Dear SemeTribe, Good morning from my side of the world.  I am not sure if I slept a wink last night as you already know I've had butterflies in my tummy for almost the last 24hours. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog, OUR BLOG, and for all the nice words. You are all far too kind. This is a special appreciation from me and also hoping that you continue to hold my hands and walk with me all through this journey as We build this community together. It is children's day today, so stick around for some juicy story. Kindly remember to subscribe to this blog so you get notifications for when a new post is up. We did this Tribe! Thank you. Love, ©Rachel Jesuseme

Hey welcome! If you are reading this, then you are on my blog. Whoop! Whoop! I still can't believe I did this. Welcome again. My name is Rachel Jesuseme. I am everything you want me to be and most importantly, I am your friend, yes I just recently started blogging too. I had wanted to share my stories and many life experiences with the world on the SemeGold Productions short stories platform but clearly God had bigger plans for us.  Yes, as much as I want this to be all about me, this is God's plan. He gave the vision and He intends to make it big.  You can imagine my shock when I first checked out the meaning of "Nook" and got this "a corner or recess, especially one offering seclusion or security".  Seme'snook is born out of the desire to share stories and life experiences. So if you like me, have been battered but UNBROKEN, bruised but UNASHAMED or even better if you are ALL NICE AND CLEAN and wish to be better, then this is your SAFE HAVEN. Please co

I am happy you are here!
