By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

Popular Nollywood actress Juliana Olayede is celebrating her birthday today, June 7.


‎The actress, who rose to fame for her role as Toyo Baby in 'Jenifa’s Diary', took to her Instagram page to share stunning photos of herself. She expressed gratitude for 10,950 days around the sun, stating that she has much to say but no words to express them—and if she could write in tongues, she would.


‎A vocal advocate for sexual purity, Olayede thanked Jesus for loving her "recklessly," noting that she sees His presence in her life’s journey. She pledged to continue serving Him no matter her age, vowing to remain a "living sacrifice" unto her Maker.


‎She wrote:
‎"Grateful for 10,950 days around the sun.

‎There's so much I want to say, but I have no words to express them, if I could write in tongues, I would.


‎On this day, I want to publicly thank you Jesus, for loving me recklessly, for chasing me down and holding me down. I see you, I see your imprint, I see your footprint, I see your handprint, I see your heart, I see your light, I see your presence in my life's journey.


‎Surely, only you could have brought me this far, only you could have put up with a girl like me, only you could stayed close, only you could silence the noise in my heart, only you erased my fears, only you makes me want to take another breath, only you are my hope, only you are my anchor, only you are my constant, only you are my everything.


‎No matter how old I get, may I remain but a child to you, seating at your feet, looking into your eyes, listening to your heartbeat, longing for you and living for you.


‎May this life that you have given me, truly be a living sacrifice unto you, may it give you great pleasure, may it delight your heart, and may it be for your glory now and always.


‎It's the dawn of three decades, it is the dawn of a new day, morning has come, light has come, THANK YOU JESUS!!"
