I left the pot on fire Hello my special people. Hope you're all good? For the past few days, I've been tightly occupied, hence that's why I haven't been up to task as regard to visiting your articles . Pardon me and I'm certain I'm bouncing back soon. As normal, I'm supposed to drop the remaining part of the angelic story I published yesterday but I'd like to skip it and publish another article today. I had some funny experience yesterday and I'd like to share, you are free to laugh. ________________________ Thanks for my sponsors❤️ Just like I mentioned yesterday being Sunday, I woke up very early(around 3:00am) and I decided not to sleep back so as not to be carried away by sleep and not to miss church. I was on bed till God knows how long, pressing phone and meanwhile I supposed to get to church before 6:45am and if it's too late, it shouldn't be above 7:00am. It was just few minutes to 7:00am when it dawned on me to get up and start preparing for church(I think the devil was manipulating the situation for me to miss church). I woke up and started rushing everything, I boiled water, took my bath, dressed up and moved to Church. I got to church exactly 7:40am and I hated myself for that. I was lucky to join my Unit members to officiate and I was posted to a particular place (overflow/extension) and I loved it. **AND I REMEMBERED SOMETHING...** Everything was going fine and towards the end of the service when we were ushering later commers to a Particular place so they could stay and wait for second service. I don't know what flashed to my head and I remembered that I forgot to remove the pot of soup I placed on fire before leaving for church. Yeeehhhh!💔 What was I thinking? I had to rush out quickly to remove it. I couldn't just leave my duty post like that, I must tell someone before leaving, i looked around and I noticed that the nearest person in command to tell was a woman. *"If I tell a woman the laughter would be worst"* I thought within me. So I skipped and went to tell a guy that's kinda far from my post incase if they ask, so he could speak for me till I come back. Omo! the guy laughed me so hard🤣🤣 but it wasn't loud because we were in the midst of people. He said I should rush quickly with his motorcycle, he Handed the key to me. I got to where the bike was, and another thought came again, *"if actually the pot has been on fire, that means that my whole room would be burning by now and my neighbors must have traced me to church because they don't have my phone number to call",* so that's to say, everything is calm, the pot is not burning neither is my room. Another thought came again *"what if it's burning and it has not been so serious because I reduced the intensity very low?"* I wondered again and was kinda sure because I remembered when I was boiling water for bathe, I reduced it so low.

Oh my God! What's happening to my head?🤔🤔 The bike was steaming and I don't know whether to go or not. I finally decided not to go. What will be will be. BUT WHAT IF THE DANGEROUS THING HAPPEN? I made up my mind to stay, I stopped the bike, and returned the key to the man. He asked what Happened and I gave him all the analysis I had on my mind and he had to excuse himself outside to laugh out loud.🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank God it wasn't a lady that I told, it'd have been so intimidating and embarrassing. I stayed like that with my heart stitched that nothing is burning in my house. The worst thing is that I went to work from church and didn't go to the house first for check. Yeah, my mind was made up. **Have you experienced this kind of thing before?** When you went out and remember that maybe you left pot of fire or you left a tap running? Feel free to share your experience. **Thanks for reading.** **31st January 2022**
