The Friend Who Came Through.

So, while still in school I have this friend of mine who was doing well to some extent, as at the time he wasn't a student, but he was staying in the students area... Off campus, I was staying off campus too then. What happened was, after he finished his ND(National Diploma), he decided to stay back in school and hustle a little.

Around that time, he did his IT, and when he was supposed to put in for HND(Higher National Diploma), he didn't, he was trying to start up something for himself so he couldn't afford to merge it both with school. And to an extent, we are very close, we helped each other beiyh financially, idea wise and all.

So, there was a time school was draining and I was getting suffocated, he on the other hand hasn't put in yet, but his business was already doing well, so I asked him for help back then, and he couldn't help. I felt somehow, it was during my final year and I was trying to sort myself out so nothing will delay me in school, so help was all I needed back then.

I saw as my classmates were smiling and busy with their projects, some saying they are almost done, some in chapter 2 and all, and here I am, I haven't even started anything at all. Everything was just too much on me, even still I never let it show on my face, but then inside of me, I was the opposite... I was tired, sick and frustrated.

I never knew God will still use this friend of mine for me, when I thought all hope was lost. Omw Sunday morning, it was after our Sunday service, and in school fellowships, we always finish Sunday services early. I was an exco in church and we were preparing for some programs and handling over. Immediately after the meeting we had as excos that day, I saw him still sitting down at the back of the church, he beckoned to me and I went over to him.

He told me about how things were a little bit somehow for him and all and that he didn't forget me and such, I just smiled and told him, "its fine." And we just laughed it off as I asked him when he will be putting in back to school and not allow work to derail him.

My phone was off for the most part of that day, immediately I switched it on that evening, I was welcomed by a credit alert from him. I wasn't expecting it at all. It wasn't that much, but it was the amount in needed to add to what I have on ground to get my project going and completed. We weren't staying in the same area anymore so I couldn't go to him, I just called to appreciate him and say my little word of prayers.

He didn't even talk about it at all. He kept saying I shouldn't thank him. Since then, I've hold the believe that a lot of people actually have us in mind either we think they do or not..and there are times that God himself intentionally delays their help to come at the right and perfect time.

I was just thinking back to my school days and the various things I experienced and this handsome friend of mine came to mind. And I thought its best to appreciate him, I can't say what would have happened if he hadn't come through... Presently he's in his final year as well now and his business booming as well.
