Yesterday
was such a blessing. I and my friends went on a sisterhood outing. To top it
up, we had the lovely company of my friend’s daughter who is 9 years old and a
16 year old. It was her birthday so we celebrated it with her and it was so
lovely. Whenever we meet I am always blessed and I cannot begin to thank God
for this particular sisterhood because it’s touching every sphere of my life in
a positive way. And for the first time, I realize my dreams are valid and they
will come to fruition because of their counsel. It was such a lovely day and
it’s engrafted in my heart. And I discovered one of the sisters has been
writing as well! Lovely!

The
Lord is faithful. He has carried me through for the past 9 months and I cannot
thank God enough. This morning started quite well. I had to rush somewhere
before going to work and my brother stood in for me J
(see why I’m blessed?). As I was in the taxi, an elderly man came in. At some
point, as I was looking at him, I couldn’t help but believe he was once a
teacher in my junior secondary school. I kept looking at him when he wasn’t
looking at my direction and I finally plucked up the courage to ask: are you
Mr.Jobela who once taught in Garrett? He initially said no, and jokingly said:
yes, I am. He then confirmed his suspicion of me as well. I think he knew me
because I was a head girl and a ‘good’ girl LOL. We then went on to speak about
the current state of education and we agreed on every point. It was such a
lovely, fulfilling conversation and I wished to not get off at my stop to
continue with the conversation. He then gave me his blessing with regards to
the future and gave me a hug. What a man! Such a humble father. I was really
encouraged and blessed to know that he still remembered me and he’s one of the
people rooting out for me.
Then
when I returned to work, it was messy. Our printing/copying machine was out of
order but praise God my brother was there. Let’s just say he discovered that
the other printer that was not vacant is actually working. I’m surrounded by
great minds I must say. Then, after a few customers came in, a middle aged man
from our church came in and I assisted him. It was a blessing and his farewell
words were: “umgcine lomntana mama” which can be loosely translated as
“treasure this child”. It was such a blessing. I treasure these words honestly.
More than anything, I treasure what my mom has been to me. She has been an
encouragement and a constant reminder that I should not give up. There’s so
much I admire about my mom and one of these days I’ll reflect. And she fixed
our printing/copying machine too! See? Great minds I tell you.
All
in all, October started with such blessings and it happens to be my mom’s birth
month. So yay to October and awesomeness!
