Maggie in Nigeria: Fully Alive
http://maggieinnigeria.blogspot.com/2009/10/fully-alive.html
Thoughts and perspectives from a twentysomething expatriate. Wednesday, October 7, 2009. The following stories, anecdotes, and glimpses into my new life cohere together to create a feeling my best friend Laura calls being fully alive. (Shout-out to Saint Irenaeus of Lyons, who coined it first: "The glory of God is man fully alive.") I am, perhaps for the first time, in that state of feeling fully alive, and it is so glorious.

Maggie in Nigeria: My Heart and the Life Verse Phenomenon
http://maggieinnigeria.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-heart-and-life-verse-phenomenon.html
Thoughts and perspectives from a twentysomething expatriate. Saturday, January 30, 2010. My Heart and the Life Verse Phenomenon.

I’m fine, how are you? Me: “I’m good [you can take the girl out of America…]. How was your night? Mrs Ngozi: “It was fine. How was yours? Respect also ...

Thoughts and perspectives from a twentysomething expatriate. Thursday, December 10, 2009. What's in a Name? Forgive the Shakespeare reference in the title, please.

http://maggieinnigeria.blogspot.com/2009/11/green-oranges-and-other-confessions_02.html
Thoughts and perspectives from a twentysomething expatriate. Monday, November 2, 2009. Green Oranges and Other Confessions. I have a couple confessions to make:. 1 I didn't write this update over the weekend because I procrastinated too long on my lesson plans and correcting. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. 3 Sometimes I strip God of His omnipotence. Hello, subject change. And yet, how many times do I say or do things that strip God of the praise He deserves? Me: I don't mind. Really, I don't.
