LIFE IS A LESSON

We got the mail, we got broadcasts,there were fliers announcing the date and warning everyone to be prepared.some were prepared,some were extra prepared while some forgot-i was one of them!
 I came home and turned the tap to wash my hands(lessons from Ebola) and there was no water! It had happened. I felt it more because I had just come in from the salon and having a bath would ease the itchy feeling I was having due to the strands of hair that had found their way into my clothes.
I managed to lie down and beg Mr sleep to come while keeping watch for when the pressure from the pipes would wake me up or for the much awaited 0500 hrs whichever happened first but there's was no pressure noise from the pipes and it was way past 05.00hrs.we waited till 12.00hrs,it was still thesame and then it was declared "a state of emergency" officially .it was funny to see people carrying buckets,jerricans and all kinds of containers and some scooping water from any source available just to get water;a resource we always had in abundance and never knew it was going to get to that point as we are considered to be the 'Haves'
At 18:00hrs and no hope in sight,everyone became a beggar for water!yes what's more?people started going to the villagers who used to come fetch water from us for water and unlike other days ,it refused to rain. There was arrangement for a tank to bring water and people had to form a queue and on that queue,there was respect for order not class -first come first serve,maids laughed at their bosses as everyone was carrying buckets some even on their heads and the villagers laughed at them saying"see this big man them  so water fit scarce for them and humble them! "

At 20.00hrs we got the news- there was water and not long after it started raining heavily.funny isn't it? And I learnt another of lifes lesson -never take anyone or anything for granted. Today the 'poor' villagers saved some 'bigmen' and GOD witheld the rain that we have always seen as a disturbance on a day we needed it .

Life is a lesson!

A MAN TO CALL,A GOD TO ANSWER #akpo aza

It's been ringing in my head since sunday; that song by the dynamites#akpo aza .THat song brings back memories and also reminds me of God's faithfulness .while listening to it ,I was smiling and even nodding my head and a colleague asked "what could be soo interesting?". She may not understand but I know how that song was an anthem for my aunt ,how she sang it and cried ,how she will say" chi,you are leaving ,who will stay with me now?you know I have no child."
That wasn't a funny or interesting period but our human eyes couldn't visualise what God had in stock and naive me kept wondering why she seemed to like crying but I later understood her pain and we told God to make her stop crying especially on Sundays.yes, she cried more on Sunday and her reason was that she Will go to God's house and see him bless others evident in their testimonies yet,she wasn't partaking of the blessings.
Today,she's a proud mother of two sets of twins (two boys and two girls).funny thing then was I kept hearing she would have twins as confirmed by a friend too but I didn't share with her because I didn't like discussing children or anything I felt would remind her of the pain.

But#akpoaza kept his words and proved he's God. He expanded them financially and then brought his gift of marriage (children)
God knows better but we most times want whatever it is we need so fast and think because its not happening then he's forgotten . No !he hasnt .

If there's a man to call,there's a God to answer

#akpo aza .

I love this my God!
