Gratitude🙏

The heat had been terrible the past weeks which always made us stay out late to enjoy the fresh breeze.

I entered my room to pick my satin bonnet hung on the wall before bumping into the bed for the night and what I saw was scorpion just above it (on the ceiling). Chai, I almost lost momentum. Was filled with mixed feelings cos I kept thanking God I could see it before it escaped and at the time thinking of ways to kill it.

People in Eruwa know scorpion isn't new here, there's a tendency you'll see one in your room within a space of 6months and a year.

Well, I really do not know how to describe where it was but it looked so scary that if it had fallen, it would have been on my bonnet, inside the fabrics I've not yet sold or probably crawled to my bed side. Yeeeeh

The dry body I brought inside the room as a result of the excess breeze outside began to turn moist and then sweats rolled down in couple of seconds. I can't use broom cos there were things on the ground that I can't afford the scorpion to enter and the other fear was it not dieing and falling into a place that would be hard to find as it was at night.

All I did was mutter "God I need wisdom" and alas God helped me to carry a keg, picked a pair of my sneakers after weighing so many footwears to see the one that's more heavy, I climbed it almost trembling but I killed it in just a strike. If you see the way I pressed it down and it bursted, you will fear me. Lol

So what I'm particular about at the beginning of this third month is the victory I had. Please never see anything as usual or too normal to be thankful for. You see ehn, some people's eyes have seen "shege" on stuff very little compared to what you experienced. How I didn't end up being stung by a scorpion the second time even though I had once been bitten by it in January 2017 is a big victory for me.

You see, many things came to my mind after I was able to kill it. Like what if it was already on my satin bonnet or just somewhere dangerous?

That was just one of the 'zillion' ways God shows up and protect us from evil just as a line in the Lord's prayer reads.

I will urge you never go take God's guidance for granted. He does protects us in diverse ways and we've got to really thank Him for that always.

Biko, help me thank God for safety
