There can be miracles when you believe
... They don't always happen when you ask...
And its easy to give in to your fears
But when you’re blinded by your pain
can’t see the way to get through the rain....”
It’s a line from a beautiful collaboration of the late Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey that’s been playing on my mind all day as a reminder that miracles do happen.
Need not to remind you that am a working mother , and with work comes great responsibilities . Sometimes it requires your odd hours but as long as a dollar will be dispensed from it then what’s the biggy.
So this particular day , night shift for that matter I had an errand to meet at a given location and google map came in handy. I can bet with my life that I was dressed up with confidence that I was going to get there on time but along the way i was proven wrong!what was supposed to be a 25 minutes drive became the longest night of my life . I was expecting the location to be a little nearer, at least close to somewhere I had visited before but the more I drove by the more I became totally unsure if I was actually on the right path probably because google map was taking me to this massive but less used highway with only tracks and no you turns ! I would have gathered up some courage and just drive to the nearest fuel station and confirm about my location but my battery decided to kill my hope from 30% to 1% charge! At this time I was in total confusion not sure what would happen next so I prayed aloud as I drove to unknown place I actually moved from the speed lane just so I don’t confuse other road users this time mainly tracks. My voice was in agony as I talked to God asking him not to allow anything hurtful to happen to me and whatever happened that he would get me to my house safely and sound. Not being a pessimist , but anything could happen including a flat tire, a total break Down or just anything! I talked as though he was seated right next to me which he actually was! I decided to close my phone’s screen so I could just listen to the google map operator without viewing the map just to save the 1% charge. I have been in an almost similar scenario that my phone went completely off and I dint have a power bank with me. Only that on that particular day I had a co driver who assisted me in reaching out for Help. Looks like I don’t learn so fast huh! So it’s night time and my phone is on the verge of shutting down on my face , in the middle of nowhere , No familiar building just yet, if I stopped it would be more trouble welcoming as who would be trusted at such odd hours?! I knew I had my self to rely on so I dint stop I drove ....praying ,breathing , praying and breathing so nothing would take away my focus as I get distracted so easily at times when am vulnerable. Amazingly, unlike other days 1% charge took me a long way the google map operator was still on and with my keen attention I was well cooperating not to make any stupid turn lest I spend the rest of the night finding my way home! Finally I got to a business center and it was a complete sigh of relief though still , remember initially I dint expect the location to be anywhere far from places I’ve visited before , i had my doubts . just when I decide to cancel my trip and head back home but from a different busy route with more cars my phone rang! I grasped because I was worried it would go off . From the way I picked the phone from the seat to how my voice was close to whispering could tell I was trying hard to save the last charge percentage standing! A lady I was supposed to meet called me to ask if was I was still going , I quickly explained how I felt like I was lost since it was an unusual long drive to an unfamiliar location and I pointed out the most visible landmarks I was seeing . Good news is I was on the right path and even better my phone sustained that 1% charge from the google map and this time almost 5 minutes call getting a more clearer location description from this lady . My worries vanished and I eventually got to my destination though late but safely and sound. In between there was another miracle, my charge was not 1% anymore but 5%! I could have chosen to see that as a default battery but I chose to look at it as a miracle. Well , true the battery was faulty but lets focus on miracles for now 😃 . Shall we? I had more charge to communicate till I reached my destination.
I had a lot to meditate about before I went to sleep , its a well relatable story when it comes to how we at oftentimes doubt our capabilities. Yes life pushes us to the edge ,sometimes we are supposed to meet so much responsibilities but with very few resources at hand , how many times have you wished to start up a project but you dint have enough capital to keep you going, how many times have you had so much bills to pay but dint have enough money to sustain you? I use money because by far it’s the most common obstacle when comes to meeting your expectations. You have two choices , to look at the little you have as nothing to get you started or trust your journey and get started with what you have and hope for red sea to part as you approach it. Prayer is the most essential element in ones life it connects you to your maker .by talking to him every day any hour you let him get hold of your wheel and guides you along whatever predicament you might face.he will always shed a light upon your path but only, if you let go and let him..
Stay blessed
Yours truly....
