God's Plan?

When the realization that I wasn't going with my colleagues for service this year hit me, I wanted to run mad.

Nobody is running mad…nobody is running mad. Let’s calm down.

This is a very personal newsletter and I think writing it will make me feel better.

If you’re reading this and you’ve not subscribed, pleaseeeeeeee, subscribe.

I think people who continually ask questions like, "When are you getting married?" and "When are you going for NYSC?" are in the same WhatsApp group.

It's not like they really care to know. They just want to make you feel some kind of way and it's really not nice.

When are you going for NYSC?

I can't begin to recount the number of times I've heard the above question from family, friends, and even those who you know are just looking for ways to gossip.

Trust me, it's been the most annoying and insensitive question I've been asked. Well, aside, when are you getting married?

Allow me breeeeeeet. No?

Class of 2020 that graduated in 2021 because of COVID-19. Everyone expected me to put on the Khaki next.

They didn't care about how I struggled to finish up my project and how my department was the last to finally defend.

Nope!

What about the mental stress that came with working immediately after school just to make ends meet?

Oh no! Not all you see on social media is true.

I see your work pictures. You look really happy! You're enjoying o.

Nope. I'm not. I'm mentally stressed. I'm just trying to survive!!

Pheeew!

It took a miracle for our results to get senate approval. This meant that it was time to go for service, right?

Well, I made a silly mistake.

I traveled up North without completing my final clearance. When I found out that my department had already started internal mobilization for NYSC, I went haywire and began to make travel plans.

The unthinkable happened. I feel really ill that I could not travel. I had to send my documents to school via DHL.

Guess what!? I couldn't beat the deadline. So yeah, this meant that I wasn't going for service this year. I would have to wait for the next batch.

The news broke me. Nah, it damaged me.

You know how you've already mapped out a plan and some situation comes out of the blue to destroy that plan?

It's really not a nice feeling and I didn't feel good for a very long time.

I cried o. I cried.

I asked God a lot of questions. I really wanted to know why it didn't work out as planned.

I got the response to TRUST HIM regardless.

It was sweeter to say, ‘I'm not ready’ when being asked when I was going for service because the delay was general and nobody in my department had been mobilized.

Right now, it's not the same.

I really do not want to stress about it anymore. I want God's plan for my life to be fulfilled.

You might be in the same situation as me. It can be really daunting but I want to trust in God regardless. His ways are not the ways of men.

I want you to always remember that God is NEVER late.

P.S: Following God’s plan is the best thing that can ever happen to you!

My God cannot flop!!!

Anyhoo, I have decided to channel my energy somewhere else and make the most of these three months.

If you're thinking it’s about making money, that one too dey. *wink.

Let me beg.

I do not like how I've made it a habit of coming to beg you people to forgive my inconsistency.

Seeee, life happens really fast.

One minute, you're trying to draft out a newsletter to your lovely subscribers and the next minute you're on Web3 Twitter farming tip. (This story is lonnnng. Let’s make the billions first and I’ll give the full gist.)

I'm sorrrrrrryyyyyyyy.
*covers face in shame.

September is over! We have three months left before the year ends.

No pressure, fam. No pressure.

Hehehe..

Says the person who loves me to a fault.

I think the cutest compliment I got this month was from someone saying that my laughter is the eighth wonder of the world. Hehehe… I’m shy…

Let’s finish up with the Bible verse of the week.

Bible verse of the week: In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

Psalm 56:4

Thank you for sticking with me. We are a 200+ strong army and I’m sooooo happy to have y’all in my corner.

With love,
