April 27th 2010 marked the end of my teenage years. It was a moment where I needed to have a clear view of my direction in life, not necessarily the entire package but at least where I’ll place my feet next.
At 20, am still living in my birth home, my mum as passed away, I’ve had a painful dental surgery and I have gotten to know God. At 20, am in college studying my desired course, am in a relationship with my dream girl and am an entrepreneur with possession of the skills I longed for.
Twenty years down the line, I have learnt to love, to make do with what I have, to be always thankful and hopeful regardless of what life brings my way.
I have learnt to love myself as a person with all my physical and non physical attributes. I have accepted who I am simply because of the fact that God made me in His own image and if He wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.
The things I have been through- the good, bad and ugly- have all together molded me to be this wonderful and blessed creature. Some people may wish and event never occurred in their life such as the loss of a family member or the loss of money in business but am that wishful. Am not wishful not because I enjoy all the happenings of my first 20 years (heavens knows am not), but because “all things work together for my own good…” I have realized that I serve a God who doesn’t do mistakes and who looks after the good of His children (like me!).
One of the greatest truths I have learnt so far is being happy and thankful in all situations, knowing that there is hope for a brighter tomorrow.
So, money or no money, food or no food, cloths or no cloths, I will not loose my joy, faith and hope because each day is the day that the Lord has made and I shall rejoice and be glad on it!
