Several things make my heart sings and it's always overwhelming. The feeling is always high in my heart that I just want to share the good news with everyone but it is not possible because there are people who wouldn't always be happy you are making headway. But in one way, the only people my heart would choose to share such news with are my siblings and until then, I would be relieved of the Joy elevating in my mind.
I love good things. Who doesn't? There is this different tickling in our minds that shocks us and we just want to swim in the pool of excitement all the time because of such a thing.
There is this aura of joy in my heart when I am being delegated a task to do and making it up, and giving my best is another feeling entirely especially when you are being appreciated for bringing such a task to the best end. It makes me feel that I am capable of delivering and giving my best through the effort I put into it.
Just two days ago, my pastor's wife called me and that was the first time she would call. I have been in the church for almost two years now and many times, I feel shy about getting myself known and this is why I chose to be part of the children's teachers to give my best in the lives of the children. I never knew there had been a WhatsApp group for all sisters in Christ and they hold a meeting on the platform every Wednesday.
She called and told me that I would be anchoring the first prayer meeting being the first Wednesday in a new month. She quickly added me to the group and I began to ask around about how it is being done because it was not something I have done before.

Those were the questions that were running through my mind after speaking with her. I felt it!
Immediately I dropped the call, I felt something jump in my heart. I felt enthusiasm for two things. My pastor's wife called me for the first time and two, I was being delegated a task. I couldn't contain my Joy because one thing I have always loved is to be given a task. After all, it is what will bring the ability in me. I want to always know what I am good at and through this, I feel like I am being noticed and recognized.
I began to get prepared so that I won't fail and disappoint anyone. When it was yesterday (wednesday) at exactly 7:50 pm, my pastor's wife reminded me of coming up once it was 8 pm. I made her know that I remembered and will give my best. After the one-hour prayer online, she came to my DM and appreciated my effort and said I was amazing with those prayer points.
At that moment, I felt like swimming in a pool of water and feeling the ecstasy because I didn't fail at what I was tasked to do.
Another thing that makes my heart sings is when I give out what I have. Do you know how it feels when you help someone and the person confessed that you came through at the right time for him or her?
Surreal..... Isn't it?
Yes, I love giving and it makes my heart sing to the extent that I will lock myself inside, and praise God for helping me come through for someone. I don't give to expect in return but give just because it is something I was taught and trained to do. Every human being isn't the same but we are equal in the hands of God and this is why God has made it known that we should help and love our neighbours.
I grew up to see how my father would give his last penny to someone. I watched how my aunt would give her last coin to someone. I knew how being hospitable could be and how the reward is heavenly when you start to enjoy it. This, I was brought up with in my family and for this reason, I find it more Joy and ecstatic to give to people around me and I don't mind whatever I give out.
God has always been faithful when it comes to blessing me and for this, I don't withhold it back to give out of the substance He has blessed me with. For this reason, my heart leaps for Joy when I am in the presence of God asking and appreciating Him for things.
Giving has been part of me for a long time and I want to believe I was born to help people around me. I feel pity and sad when I see people suffering and it makes me wish I have enough to satisfy the whole world. Yes, this is what I feel many times when I am locked in my room.
I want to give more than what I have been giving. I want to truly make an impact in the world and I feel like owning all the billions in the world just to help those in need. I believe I was born to help people and this is why my Dad would always call me Mercy Child because I feel for people.
I have a lot of memories surrounding how I have so much love to give but this particular one stood out for me and I will share it here.
There is this lady that I so much like. She knows how much I give to people and this day, she didn't want to bother me because she felt I have given her enough.
That doesn't mean I shouldn't continue to give even if I had given you something. It's my way of being happy and making my heart rejoice.
I noticed her mood changed and was sitting beside me. She managed to gist with me. Then suddenly, I asked what was wrong because I know her. She is always this smiling girl all the time and it is what makes my heart clicks to her. That was when she explained to me how she has been calling her parents to send her money but they don't have much.
I asked for her account details and sent something that would sustain her till she receives from home. The statement she made that day brought tears (of Joy) to my eyes because of what I did.
โSister Busayo, you are Godsent and you came at the right time for me. God bless you.โ
I went inside and the only thing that came out of my mouth was โthank you, Godโ with a smile.
I don't mind making it a career because I want to make people happy. I would love to have an organization of my own where I would help and care for those who need help. I would call it a charity organization to help care for the world. Trust me, I really would love it but in my little way, I should continue with the little I have been doing while I keep praying to go higher in it.
Passing it on to my generation wouldn't be a difficult thing to do because I will make them know why it is good to help and give out of your substance to people. We will not see the reward today or tomorrow but when it comes in years to come, we would understand and realize the power of showing the world that we care.
Thanks for your time on my blog. I appreciate you reading to the end.
