When God Gives You Lemons
Did I hear you say make lemonade? I feel like my faith and trust in God was literally tested earlier today in church. It’s the first Sunday in September which translates to thanksgiving in church. If you are not familiar with thanksgiving in a Nigerian church, then think gorgeously dressed men and women with cheerful faces, excited and ready to dance happily to lovely gospel music in all language possible.
