God's grace Am writing this with a heavy heartπππππ so much for a life that can be taken anytime. Sometimes when answers to our requests are delayed, we question God not knowing it's for our good. Logging in to my whatsapp this night, a shocking message pop up in my department group chat, the demise of one of my course mate, this woman is very jovial and focused. Different questions kept coming in, I couldn't type any condolence message because I was shocked. I remembered seeing her in school last week Saturday for our last written exam, how come she is no moreπ’π’π’π’? Different messages from those that saw her yesterday, she was a married woman with 3 kids, her last son still came to school with her last Saturday, we never knew that was the last time we will be seeing her in school. This made me to sit and reflect on my life of how God has been taking care of me, during my 2 years journey for my national diploma, lots of my course mates have lost their lives, lots were rusticated, lots were stopped from finishing due to one challenge or the other, here I am enjoying God's grace. We don't know what we enjoy if we still have life inside of us, I can still complain of not eating what I want, not visiting where I wish not knowing that the breath of life am enjoying is more than enough. She would have planned how her signout will be, where she wants to do her internship and when she is coming back for her higher national diploma just like everyone of us not knowing she won't be alive, why then do we take things hard, why do we act as if we won't leave this world one day, why do we want to accumulate all the things we will let go once the owner of life took it? What is the essence of the power you have that you can't save yourself from dying or from getting sick, many of us today are shouting (sapa) lack of food, money and the good things of life, why don't u seize breathing for 5minutes and see which one is important. Let's all remember that our being alive till today is by the grace of God. In our day to day activities let's always remember that the reason we can gallavant about is because we are healthy, if you are sick for just a day, you will know that the grace of God over your life is not small. I pray that the lord almighty will stand by her family especially her husband and the little children she left behind. Let's all live a life that's worth it because we don't know the appointed time we 'll be call home(the great beyound). Join me in prayers for her family. I hope you enjoy reading this and I will be expecting your comments in my box. Enjoyyyy.
