Being scared of something is what we all have experienced in one way or another but there will always be a different story to tell every time because we are all different people. Fear is something that helps us to be more alert towards any danger that may come to us. I have so many fears as an individual but I have always known that fear is inbuilt in every human to help them discover a hidden part of themselves.
Over time, I have experienced so many kind of fears that has made me better almost every time because I learned to master my fears and always expect the worst out of every situation and even when something goes wrong I always still feel grateful because I had expected even worse. Like I have the fear of losing so many things...
I'm scared of losing my trust in God, I'm scared of losing those around me, I'm scared of losing my good qualities, I'm scared of losing some valuable things that I have in my possession and so many more. Some of my fears have became reality but I found out that I still face them head on and I became more stronger.
I remembered when I almost lost my phone some months back when I went to visit a friend. I had gone to get some things that he has brought from his grandma in the village. At the time when I had gone to visit him, I had two phones with me, one was my new phone which I store some useful data and the other was what I used for browsing.
When returning back from my friend's place, I had extra load to carry so I had to keep my phones in my bag but while on my way, I received a call so I had to take out the phone I store things in and after answering the call I forgot to keep it back to the bag because I thought I will receive another call.
I finally got to my bus stop and I quickly came down and I carried my load and I took a motorcycle home because of the load I carried if not the place was trek able. I got home dropped the load I carried and quickly went to take my bath and afterwards I was feeling a bit hungry but there was nothing at home so I decided to press my phone and then I realized one of my phones was missing, what!!! Fear quickly gripped me, I was not sure how I was going to get it back because I had already spent almost 30 minutes at home.
I quickly called the phone, it was ringing but nobody was picking it up, at that point I quickly got dressed and headed out to look for the driver that carried me, I was not sure how I was going to find him but I had noticed something unique he designed his bus with and that was what I intended using in identifying his vehicle. I had to trek and just kept looking at any bus that was passing by if they had the design while I kept calling the phone.
While walking along the road I kept praying for me to be able to find the phone because it had so many important data in it that are very important to me and also I do not have any money to spend on getting a new phone. While I was just about to board a vehicle to make my journey fast, I saw a vehicle about 1km away with the design I was looking for so I quickly ran to meet the driver who was about to cross the road with a tyre in his hand.
I tried explaining to him that I was the passenger he had dropped off few minutes ago and he quickly agreed he remembered me, I asked him if he had seen any phone but he said he did not check if anything was in the vehicle, that his vehicle had stopped while still trying to get other passengers to their destination. I felt sorry for him so I took permission from him to search his vehicle but I couldn't find the phone and my fear doubled again.
I quickly called the phone and I heard it ringing from the vehicle and when I listened well, I found it at the very edge of where I sat, it fell when I was coming down. I was really so happy and thankful to God and the driver. God was the one that had helped me find the driver by making him have a flat tire, if not I'm not sure if I would have found him.
Even when I was so scared of losing my phone, I did not forget to ask for help from God and he heard my prayers. Before I even found the phone, I totally refused to agree that I had lost it because it has so many things that I can't get back once it's gone and that was what pushed me to go out to look for it and I found it 馃槉
