Everyone has a point in life where he has encountered a little stumble, no matter how little, that time always surface.
Even the rich at some point in their life, they felt like everything was not OK with them. The realised that true happiness is within.
At this point if u break through such a situation that's your defining moment.
That point everything seems crashing, that moment when it seems the storms it's rolling over and never going to be over, in this very situation of definition. That's when we tend to look beyond the barriers, maturity sets in. Our overcoming now defines who we are.
This was exactly what I wanted to avoid , being STRANDED.
I grew up where I get everything I wanted, never have I one day wondered how tough life will look like. Mum and dad was always on their best making sure the family looks sharp and standard.
I never thought what it felt like as a child lacking food. I get it whenever and however I wanted it.
There was many promises of schooling abroad Immediately after high school. The standards were set.
Mum decided to send me to the boarding school so i can learn some little experience, i was much younger, tender and quite intelligent. I never dreamt of school so much below standard like a government owned high school.
Things really changed Immediately I left home, Dad fell sick and all the resources in the house were spent and borrowed to get him fit again, at the end we lost him and all the evergreen life was gone and our hope was left hanging on the thread of the little I have learnt about life in my new high school.
Adapting to the new life was never easy, things really became tough.
When I finished high school I managed to enter college with little finance mum had she was able to see me through, the good part of her was she always remembered to help people around her in need.
On my third year in college she fell sick and the finances seized.
I have met some friends in college who introduced me to Christ and taught me deeply the promises of God through his son Jesus. So at that point my faith was never doubting and I strongly believed that God will intercede for me.
In a one faithful Friday morning I had nothing to eat, no money for tution and nothing to survive with.
I was so vexed in my spirit and I called upon the name of God reminding him of his promises and that I can never be stranded. At that minute my mums friend son called me from abroad and was asking me how I was and how he would love to help me.
The same hour and day my tutions for the remaining years were provided, the way opened and I never begged. Mum was given total treatment and care and we were never STRANDED AGAIN.
The joy was filled with tears, really a great thing to remember. I CAN NEVER BE STRANDED. darlingtoncj.
