Fund Raising Deadline Date Extended...

Hello,

I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has donated so far. God Bless you mightily. I am amazed at how we were able to raise almost 50% in less than 2 months. May your pockets never run dry in Jesus name.
I want to thank everyone who has shared this Page with friends and loved ones. I see people I don't know personally donating to this fund, and it... It... Just blows my mind. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Today was supposed to be the deadline for this fund, but since we are only at 46% collection, I am going to extend the end date till the end of February. I will keep sharing this page, and continue to pray for the best. God Knows exactly WHEN he wants things done, so I am not being anxious.

On another but sort of  related note, Lol...
I now have a Facebook Page for my Photography Business.
I am currently giving discounts on Photoshoots, Event capturing and so on, so that I can raise more money for Therapy.
So, If you're in Dallas/Texas Area and you want your pictures taken by a sort of Professional... *coughs*, Email me ooo!!!!

Happy New Year...

It's coming a bit late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I pray that this year will be a fruitful and prosperous one for us all in Jesus name.

Just a little update today.
I would like to thank everyone who has donated to the Get Lizzy Back to Therapy Funds.
A major thank you to everyone who has shared the page countless and numerous times! You guys are all awesome!!!

I'm doing my best to keep sharing the page, and I am so happy that the fund raising is going well so far.

The new year has started well so far for me and I can only praise the name of God.

Here's a picture of me at church on the first sunday of the year...

I love wearing tailored native outfit. They fit so well and are comfortable even on the wheelchair.
I also have a Gele Philosophy, lol.. If you're going to wear a gele, MAKE IT BIG!! Gotta Love Geles (that is the Headtie on my head).

Update: I Want To Go Back To Therapy

Hello World...

How are you all doing? Hope great?
Today's post is about a step I hope to take in the next couple of month.

I found out about a place called PROJECT WALK a while back. They help people with spinal cord injury to recover, be strong,  and hopefully walk again.

When I found out about them, they were in AUSTIN, TX, and that was kind of far away from me.
Also when I found out, I was still in school and couldn't even pursue the opportunity because I wanted to finish my Nursing degree.

Anyhoo, Fast forward to after graduation... I discovered that project walk now has a branch in Dallas, TX, which is a WHOLE lot more closer to me.
I was happy and decided to go over there for a session.
Here's a picture of me at project Walk.

After my session there, I couldn't go back because of the out-of-pocket funding.
They don't take insurance and require each person to pay out-of-pocket.

When I posted the above picture on my facebook page and instagram as a way to tell my friends on there and inspire them that FAITH without WORKS is Nothing, I was amazed at the amount of people that sent me messages saying they were willing to donate to get me back to therapy.

With this show of kindness from people and after months of waiting and thinking hard about therapy, I finally decided to start a Get Lizzy Back To Project Walk Fundraising page.

My life since the car accident has been a long and interesting journey, But through it all, I have been able - by the grace of God - to maintain my faith that I will walk again.

It has been a trying period in my life, but GOD has been faithful and helped me through so much. I Thank God for wonderful family members, friends, and well wishers all around me.

As I stated before, I got my Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree despite being on the wheelchair, and I continue to push myself - Lol...ha. I just said PUSH - But... Anyhoo, I try not to place limitations on myself.

I am a firm believer that with GOD, all things are possible. And this is one of the main reasons why I went to project Walk. I believe that I will walk again, but I also know that Faith without work is nothing.


If you didn't click the previous link, Please CLICK HERE to be directed to the Fundraising page I started to get me back to Project Walk.

My prayer is that, doing this, coupled with my faith as well as God's Mercies will Get me back on my feet and walking again.

After I get the funds, I'll go to Project Walk, and Be sure to keep you all update through my blog.

Please keep me in your prayers.

I'll greatly appreciate whatever amount you choose to donate.

God Bless you and thanks for reading/Donating.

With Love, 

Till Later, Lizzy.

A Little Update...

Hello All....

Well, to say I've abandoned this blog would be an understatement.

I Hope everyone is doing very well? That is, if anyone still checks here for updates... :-)

This is just an update to say I'm fine and well. I'm still believing, keeping my faith alive, and I know that My Miracle hour is on its way. As I stated in my Bella Naija Interview, I won't let anything keep me down, and I'm glad that God has been good to me till today.

I don't post much on here because I don't really know much that should be put on here, but I am still interested in Going to Nigeria to go advocate for disabled people.
I don't know exactly how I'll go by doing this, but I know that God will make a way.

I'm looking into contacting some NGOs. I'm seriously considering sending mail to some groups I've seen that already advocate for disabled people. If you know any groups, or companies that fit this description, please let me know by commenting below, or by sending me an email.

My dream is not dead, and I know that though it takes a while, I will make it to the finish line. :-D
We can cause change to happen and I'm not going to relent.


Oh and here's what I look like as at Last week.

P.S: I have ANOTHER BLOG I regularly post on. It's more of my Hobby Blog, But if you're interested in Checking it out, Please CLICK HERE to go there. 

That's it for now People.
Take care Y'all. God Bless.

New years' day was so wonderful for me. Ringing in the year at church! Singing and dancing and glorifying his name. Then again at church on Sunday morning, praising the name of the most high. I lost my voice, but it was all worth it!

Thanks for reading. Till Later, God Bless.

God is Still God

Hello lovelies...
I know it's been a while since I posted on my blog, but please forgive me for that. :-)

I'm sure most of you see all around you that Christmas is here, and that means that the year is coming to an end. During this time of the year, most people reflect on all that they have accomplished throughout the year; and when they do this, they either feel good, or feel bad about themselves or accomplishments. As the year is coming to an end, it appears that most people begin to wonder why they are still in the same position that they were at the beginning of the year or they count their blessings and are happy about all they've accomplished.

A couple of days ago, I sat down and began to count my blessings but I got tired as I was counting because I deemed it irrelevant since I was still breathing and I was able to count. I mean, what other proof did I need that God was still God and has been good to me? When I stopped counting, I began to praise God, not just for what he has done, but for what I know he'll do in my life. I am determined that this year will end in a bang for me.

You might not be where you thought you would be, but remember that God's time is the best. Psalms 115:3 says that "Our God is still God and he does what he pleases". The confidence we have as children of God is that, what God pleases to do will eventually be for our good and not for evil because Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". 


You see, because of these promises, we ought to remain calm and let God be God over our lives. We can only do what we're capable of doing and if you feel you've done all you could do this year, but are still not where you felt you would be, don't worry too much. God is still God.
As it is with most things, "letting God be God" is easier said than done. But I believe that as humans, we have the power and ability not to be driven by what we feel.
Praise your way through the rest of the year. If there's anything else you would like to accomplish before the year is over, get to work, and start doing it.

God is still God, and he will never forsake his people. Are you serving him with all your might and heart? Are you really trusting in him? If yes, then worry not, because when God is ready, he will not only show up, He will show up AND SHOW OUT!!!
My God doesn't do things in a mediocre manner, he is after-all the same God who turned water into wine (John 2: 1-11).

I leave you all with this words today: Keep Calm and Carry On because God is Still God. 

Till later, God Bless. :-)
