#FIFAWorldCupWithPooja
The last time I watched a World Cup Final, I was a 200-level student, in Mariere Hall, Unilag. Today I will be watching from Singapore ๐ธ๐ฌ. Mehn, God is good!
Nobodyโs actually neutral in tonightโs Spain vs Argentina World Cup final.
Letโs stop lying to ourselves ๐๐๐
Deep down, we all want one country or the other to lift that trophy.
So, declare your country in the comments. Who are you backing? ๐ช๐ธ or ๐ฆ๐ท๐
Dear Lord, as I retire to bed tonight, let me wake up later today with both eyes intact so I may witness Lionel Messi lift the World Cup for the second time ๐ฆ๐ทโฅ๏ธ
Through it all, I have been carried by GRACE...
As I step into another year, my heart has just two words:
THANK YOU..
To the King of Kings for every chapter, every blessing seen & unseen..
Above all for the precious loan of life.
Chapter 55 begins.
