Happy weekend guys, Saturdays are usually for weddings and I don't even remember the last time I attended one, that's not in my plans for now anyway, except for the food being shared there, maybe I should add mc to my career so I can be attending weddings, even if they don't pay me, as long as I'm being served well, haha, just joking though.

While thinking about what to write and I have written and also clear what I wrote cause it's like my mind is not in the right place now and I have to put it in place so I can write before going to sleep.

I wanted to write about a lady that wrote about mother inlaws but I had to read what she wrote again and stopped writing about it because I was the one that didn't understand what she wrote at first, haha, I laughed at myself because I was just desperately looking for what to write in the middle of the night, if only my network was good, I would have been done before now.

Now I have something to write about, all thanks to my cousins, especially the little one that is not asleep yet, it's kind of funny though and I learned a deep listen from it now because it's just life teaching us new things or old things in new ways.

I came back from work when three of my cousins came to welcome me, I was surprised to see one because I haven't seen her since last year if I am correct, we usually meet in church but I havent been to the church since last year, not that I haven't been going to church since last year, for now, I am attending my boss church because its kind of closer to me and I am attending it for now, though I am not a full member now.

She and her sister came to the house today and they were very happy to see me, me too as well, cause I haven't seen them since last year, after the welcoming and all, I just heard straight to my cave, I call it cto cave because I don't have light in my room, not because I don't want to buy light, but I just feel like its cool being dark, like what I need is some fancy colored light to make it cooler instead of the normal white light.

Fast forward to few minutes ago, it was time for sleep and all my cousins are already asleep except for the boy, that one doesn't normally sleep early and we both always sleep in my room, I would sometimes force him to sleep because if I am to allow him to seat with me all night as I am writing songs on my phone, he will stay all night with me without sleeping.

My cousins had to sleep on my bed while I sleep on the couch, which I am now doing while writing this article, the boy quick booked a space for himself by lying in the middle of the bed, though he's not yet asleep, the bed is not big enough for everyone, two was sleeping on the mat, when one woke up and went to the bathroom.

The boy thought that because he had secured that space in the first place, he can move around, so he went to seat on the couch, before he knew it, the one that went to the bathroom came back and slept on his spot, haha, we didn't even notice it, not until the boy came down from the couch and went to fold himself on the edge of the bed, haha, it was small but also manageable for him, he looked so humbled when lying on it.

He wanted to use the bathroom, so he stood up from the spot walked close to the bathroom, and came back again, he was just shouting he wants to use the bathroom but he don't want to leave there because he was afraid that the remaining one sleeping on the mat might stand up and sleep on the little spot he had reserved for himself, he had lost a big spot before and now he cherished the little one cause after there, he might sleep on the mat, ha ha.

This also applies to life in general, some people in a certain position believe that no one can do it better than them that is why they are in that position, not until they lose that position and discovered that they weren't special as they thought they are just privileged to be there.

Like the case of King Saul, he thought he was the mot special in the land of Israel and he can just disobey a direct order from God and ask for forgiveness and they will be all cool, that was when God looked for King David to replace him without thinking twice, may we not lose diamonds while searching for stones and end up with stones.

Like I said “there are a lot of people waiting to take over your position once you feel too big”

Staying humble is a must. Every minute everything can change, so never think that you are above to anyone.

This is a great lesson bro, so many options are out there to overtake us but we shouldn't allow that to happen. We should always fight to retain our spot cos it's open to everyone.

In whatever position, stay in grace and humility, the voice within will guide us through. When spots are not taken, don't grab others. When we are commanded from above follow through.

When we feel special, we should know that there are people more special than us. We should be humble. I've seen a lot of this in the churchy settings, especially those instrumentalists, they'll be feeling like no one does it better than them but let me leave and they'll be surprise to see a replacement

For this life has no permanent thing, whether you're in the best position now you might throw from it if someone will be more fitted to secure that certain space. Only our delight is we can still survive and find our next right spot.

Life is replaceable and when you think you can do the best, a little mistake or incident could change your position and that is one thing about life. The world is always looking for who to fill the space immediately once you are gone. So, the best is to always stay humble wherever you meet yourself. No one knows tomorrow.
