I answered the clarion call?
If you are alive and among all those that did the all important cross over from the year 2021 to 2022, permit me to say, you are highly welcomed into the new year that is filled with opportunities and many more.
As for me, 2021 is a year that is filled with a lot of unwanted tendencies plus its good sides but in all honesty, i never really made the most of it given my struggles overtime and lots of other too many impossibilities that did handicap me.
I never actually met with all my targets in virtually all my endeavours in life that most of the time proved like a torn in my flesh as i failed very woefully in the things i had wished for myself.
During the last concluded year, I can remember being suspended wrongly for a forthnight in what I never committed in my place of work and you know what that means, a shortage of my monthly salary take home pay for being suspended for two-weeks.
That ugly situation of a suspension really touched my heart so much so that I had to weep almost unstoppably in an uncontrolled state of my shock.
That same period of my amazement especially, as that happened to be my second or third time I will be queried and eventually end up being suspended for what wrong I never committed.
The broken heart caught up with me so deeply so that I felt that my life was almost a meaningless thing and at this juncture, the thought of committing suicide filtrated my mind always like a baby reciting a popular school poem.
My reasons for this was not far-fetched as my ordeal in life proved to be my own ghost that seems to be chasing me for a pounder of flesh but all thanks to @Manjudeck , a great big mummy of this platform that encouraged me not to give up with life so easily like that while she narrated her own series of untold hardships she had been enduring ever since she had been a single mom for almost a decade now and the fact that she was also molested without anyone to help her out but lo!, she continued saying to me; "here I stand very strong amidst too many unwanted circumstances and as such, I want you to borrow a leaf from me and begin to reason the unfortunate and the unbalanced nature of life with the most positive mindset".
Such candid words of a motherly advice from @Manjudeck ensured I breath a fresh breath while I then concluded to within me, stay strong irrespective of how hard people want to bring me down.
My unexpected miraculous change
Times have past when such ugly decisions last filtrated my mind that i decided i went to the market on the 31sth of december 2021 at about 11:13am in the morning to buy some stuffs I will be needing for myself for the new year did my phone ring and look! It was my boss in the office and immidiately, he started apologizing to me and begging for my forgiveness for all the troubles he had made me to pass through as a resjlt of the incessant suspensions he gave me.
Alas! I have forgiven all that since time immemorial but he insisted he wants to see me in the office even though we are on xmas break.
I obliged and with immidiate effect, I quickly switched places and went straight to meet with him at the office before going to the market to fetch the stuffs I will be needing and on getting there, I was shocked at seeing my boss greeting my presence with the most absoluteness of a very warm presidential welcome.
I managed to make myself comfortable in the arm chair in his well decorated office and without much delay, he brought out a huge handsome amount of money and said to me, " pls take this little token money from me as the balance of all your wrongly deducted money when you were suspended", and then he paused while placing his face on his table in shame and then started again, " you can as well find in the bag, a reasonable amount of money which i'm using to assist your xams and proposed new year spendings.
With joy and a heart full of thanks, I quickly dashed out of his office and went straight to the market to buy the stuffs I had wished to buy before i answered the CLARION CALL.
In the church for the 31st night cross over.
The joy in me as a result of clearing the air that all the suspensions I was meted with were no faults of mine and as such all my returned money plus the addittions I receieved to support my xmas and new year spendings ensured I went to the church to make a testimony on how God had favoured me with a CLARION CALL which i duly answered without much delay.
My continued joy moved me to do this.
In order to mark the happy filled moments of myself, i decided i celebrate my new year with a big fathened ram which I slaughtered and ate with my family members, friends and well wishers as a sign that the CLARION CALL was made, and i indeed answered.
Come and dine with me cos it is still very very hot and tasty๐.
Just look at me in the picture below tearing the flesh of my own share of the meat in joy hahaha...๐๐.
