First, I like to appreciate dreemport ,dreemsteem, Ecency, Hive Naija, #speekpeece Challenge, for this time of peace for Nigerians, I would say I really needed a forum like this to let out the steam.
Tell about a time when you've been in need of peace, and an "angel" friend came into your life at the right time to encourage and lift you up
At age 17 I was in a state of depression, why? Because I thought the end had come for me, I was not only depressed, I had no reason to keep on living here which made me feel like this.
After secondary school, I was expecting life to be very rosy for me, I had a lot of things I needed to be achieved, in my own mind then, I wanted things to be perfect for me, I had a list of things I wanted after I left secondary school.
THINGS LIKE**
I really thought I would have it so easy in my life, but after secondary school, I got to experience life, My parent wasn't able to afford my tertiary education, so at first, I got some teaching jobs that paid me little as at that time, the income from it was so little, that even after removing my expenses from it, I would be left with so little, that I always got discouraged, I left that job, got another school job that increased the pay by 500naira, I accepted the job because I didn't have to pay transportation to the place, I did that for about 6months, then I got tired, I was frustrated at that point, and didn't know what else to do to be able to save for myself, I Got into the wrong crowd at that period, I was lost in the world.
But God showed up for me, when I least expected it, by making a family friend call me to travel down to port Harcourt, again, cause the last time I was there my aunt and her sister fought, so I wasn't able to stay with her, when she called me to come down to port Harcourt, I felt GOD WAS telling me to cut off from those friends, cause even I know ew I was heading towards destruction, so that moment was a very tough time for me, I went to Port Harcort and I still wasn't at peace , until I joined my present church through the pastors word being preached that day, I found peace, I made peace with myself through Gods word. And I have been at peace with myself, even though I haven't still gotten the funds to go to school. I am at peace.
This post is for the #speekpeece hive naija challenge in collaboration with dreemeport.
