And then I woke up again!!! Father thank you its not ‘cos I’ve mastered the art and/or science of sleeping and waking up its by your grace. We had vigil last night, Uncles admonition was so upfront and timely; if I’d summarise it: don’t “finish” people behind them (no back-biting) avoid acts and attitudes that draw you away from the cross.

Woke up so late today, I was not too happy with Joshua, Niyi and Nasiru (other transcos) in the room, 🙂 they didn’t wake me up, like I would have if they overslept. Anyway, like the change I’ve come to notice in me, there was no resentment and no brooding over the matter. I couldn’t even explain the oversleeping even to myself not to talk of Publo (Joe) who rescued me from the clutches of sleep. I finished my #45 credit browsing not realising I’d been switched to the regular browsing plan, probably after Pat used it last night, therefore I had #0.0. The ladies (Bunmi, Tolu, Patricia) were called by National Uncle (Mattew) as I was in their room “bluetoothing” some messages from Tolu’s xpress music. As each of them was called and I realised they’d be gone probably for the whole day, I (unlike me anyway) thought for the first time how my day would be. I went to my room picked one of my books for july/august, the room extension, my phone charger and went to the sanctuary, I started charging my phone and turned on the TV and was hoping Hosana would have something for a already bored brother, it was still early oh! but I was already bored. I needed to make calls but browsing had ensured that wasn’t possible, unfortunately or fortunately for me, there was God’s back up plan; I went to the room to put the battery of my BB in it and on getting there decided to switch SIMs from airtel in the BB to the glo, I checked my wallet but didn’t find the Glo SIM, then I remembered I had placed it in the pocket of either of my khaki shirt or my only shirt (the white one). I checked both shirts and poof! Nothing!! It wasn’t there, well I gave up for a split second there. Nasiru decided to do a little cleanup of the room and since I didn’t deem it fit to start this although I noticed earlier it was needed, I joined. The first thing I did was to stack our jungle boots in a bucket, instead of where they were littered, and right there, there it was!! The SIM. I learnt a lil lesson there even when we’ve given up he uses our lil acts of “good boy” or goodness to cheer us up. Hope you see the lesson like I did. Anyway didn’t stop there as I was looking for the SIM in my wallet I found a recharge card I hadn’t used, left there like 2 days ago, totally forgotten but now very useful.

Thank God for being God. His love goes beyond our imagination. Right now I’m in the NCCF plateau state family house, like I’ve been anyway since leaving camp on the 26th of July. Went to the mountains behind the family house some days ago. Got a lesson impressed from the experience, when I was making my ascent alone, I just walked to the extreme of the range and saw a building with its new foundation on the rock, I went up the foundation and then from a distance I could hear the sound of rushing water I decided to go see the river. Climbing up was so tedious, my height and long legs was totally advantageous. Coming down on the other hand was so easy because while on the peak I sighted a woman and a girl in the plain between the ranges and quickly followed. I didn’t actually know how I was going to get down, I could only steep edges down and going the way I came was no option. Anyway, we went by a sort of path that lead straight down to the base. Moral: when we are guided anything is usually easier especially our walk with God when Guided by the Holy Spirit.

Phew! Now I am officially Jobless. Four years and all I get is a “pali” that certifies me jobless… hmmmmn. Really not for me I am not jobless and ain’t entering any labour market, ‘cos I won’t labour by his grace. Just returned from SUCF National (at NYSC orientation camp Ikenne Remo, Ogun State; very nice venue) Conference, t’was a life transforming experience through and through.

Hope to resume my blogging better and more consistently.
