Since I'm tired of going on long (really really long) hiatus and coming back with some sort of story and apologies, then there's no need for that. I'm here now, so I might as well get to it.
The year 2015, even though 2016 is almost over, I feel like I should talk about this year. In all the years of my life, I do not think I've had a tough, rough and challenging year such as this. I don't even think there's an adjective that will convey how rough that year was to me. So much so that more than a year later I'm still kindahurting feeling the impact of that year and not so much in a positive way.
The year started out great, I had a job even though it was terribly unsatisfactory but a job nonetheless. Things went on until I decided to quit the job and relocate to a new town (plenntttyyy of reasons, i'm not paranoid I promise) where I had not one relative, family or friends or even a job. I just decided to start my life afresh, brand new, born again like if you want to call it that. I went to the new location with so much hope, faith et al.
On getting there I started a course in a field I've always been interested in, the training had a promise of a job attached to it on successful completion. That was how I took my last cash and even harassed my momma for more and started. Training went on well, examinations came and went, I did good, got my certificate and started waiting for the job. I waited forever as not one job came through that avenue.
I joined a church and quickly joined the choir. That was where my life started taking shape through the word, my Pastor (bless his heart) introduced me to a couple of persons and after interviews upon interviews, I finally got a job. Praise God!
This story is not quite as simple as it looks, there were days and nights that I was too tired to pray or cry even, I'd stare into blank space, think, think and think again, the happy-not-bothered-about-a-thing- me became moody, grumpy, sad, teary and fretful. I almost lost my faith but God didn't let go of me.
Over the days, I'll recount some of the experiences I had in 2015. I'm putting this here for no other purpose but posterity. I want to look back sometime in the nearest future and acknowledge the battles I've had to fight and the victories God has given me.
P.S This post is un-edited, feel free to find errors and laugh at them.
Peace, love and joy...
