A minute can change everything












As we headed to the hospital, we met the bumblebee guys on the road and we had to stop. Our papers just expired the previous day and we planned to sort that out once we were through with the hospital bills. They asked for the papers to the car and we gave them.
“Ma, you know, your papers have expired right,” One of them said
“Yes” Ify replied and went on to explain the situation but they turned deaf ears to her.

 Couldn’t they have shown mercy to the one heading to the hospital?
“You have two options, one of my guys would accompany you to our office just down the road or you can choose to drop your driver’s license and get it when you come to renew your papers,” The overall bumblebee guy said to us

 Ify looked at him “Do you have any other workable option because my license is not with me and I have to get my sister to the hospital”

 None of them was listening. They walked away to stop the cars that were approaching while we sat down in the car deciding what to do. We decided to leave the car and take a bike to the hospital. 
“Life is that important”

The bike we flagged down had to stop way head, as we walked down towards him, one of the bumble guys asked: “Where are you going to?” We hissed and kept walking. Then I heard my name, I turned in shock to see who it was. It was Nate, one of my course mates from grad school. He just came around with a new batch of bumble bees.
“A pretty small globe we live in”

 “What is the matter?” he asked
While we explained, I looked ahead and saw a bike rushing towards us uncontrollably. I quickly dashed out of the road, I tried to pull Ify along but before I knew it, she was on the floor. Ify was a strong lady, the bike had hit her and stopped, flinging its rider off it but not without knocking another lady out. The lady lay on the floor in pains and almost lifeless.
“Anything can happen a minute; life is either given or taken, doors open, doors close, promotions or demotions happen, peace can be restored or conflicts continue”
“A minute can change everything for good or vice versa”

I quickly went to Ify, she was in pains; her chest and side hurt from the impact. I was angry ‘cos if they had allowed us to go, all these could have been avoided. What was most annoying was that the other lady was left on the floor and the bumblebee guys didn’t even bother taking her to the nearest hospital, they left her to the mercy of passerby’s and carried on with their duties.
The biologists say there is a selfish gene in every human being, I second that!

Nate walked up to us and told us we could be heading to the hospital for the initial reason and now to have a doctor check Ify out. I wondered what could have happened if Nate wasn't there. Anyway thank GOD for timely help.

Be good to everyone, you never know when they will pop up in your life again

By the way, everyone is doing good both the pillar that stopped the bike in the person of Ify...lol and the other person that was with her. 

 Make those minutes count!

"Hello everyone! How did April treat you? Today marks Grace's final post with us. We're really going to miss her. Thank you, Grace, for consistently sharing timely and insightful posts over the past 12 months. May you reap the rewards of the seeds you've sown. Amen!" Grace, we eagerly anticipate your return to the blog. *** This is the 12th part series of these write ups and the last one on “Moments with Grace”. As I round up, I would like to remind us of the need to stay alert in the Spirit in this perverse generation. 1 Thessalonians 5:6 says: “So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.“ ‭Nowadays, a lot of things try to get our attention thereby pulling us off our focus on our dear Saviour Jesus Christ. However we must always remember Jesus our promised Messiah came in the flesh, died and resurrected, presently seats at the right hand of the throne of God the Father Almighty and is soon coming back again to take us hom

Hello People, The first half of the year ends in few hours 💃 I look back and all I can say is THANK YOU JESUS! The first day of the year came with the promise of a travel gift from GOD. It was so clear, and I held onto it. Fast forward to the month of February, an opportunity presented itself but the timing was short and it looked impossible cos getting a visa in that short period seemed close to impossible. I almost let it go but I was encouraged by some friends to give it a try. As I mustered the strength to, I remembered what GOD had promised, so I equipped myself with it, booked an appointment and went to the embassy, the Wednesday before the due date for my trip. I walked to the counter when it was my turn to submit my documents. The lady I met, looked at me, and asked: “when are you to travel?” I replied “Sunday”. She stared at me and said “today is Wednesday, its not possible for you to travel on Sunday”. I looked at her and smiled, please go ahead. She said “are you su

SEE YOURSELF THROUGH HIS EYES…. …She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above Rubies or Pearls! “Why do you always walk with your head down?” I paused and considered. This was a question someone asked me some years ago… the only answer I could muster was a sheepish smile. The truth is, back then; I was suffering from what most people battle with. Those were the days I had relied heavily on my big sister in order to dress stylishly. To me, she could do no wrong; she was the “koko”. Now I’m not saying she wasn’t (she still is) all that, but I came to realize on time that I couldn’t run to my sister every time I had to baff up. I had to come to terms with the fact that I was my own person and I needed to develop my own style. It wasn’t instant success o and yes, I am still perfecting the art (it’s a process). I did make 1 or 2 flops (ok maybe 3….ok ok…more than 3), but this issue of style became effortless when I decided to try the “inside-out” approach…
