The World I am yet to see
Life is indeed full of surprises.
A year ago, i never imagined i will be sitting on this chair, in this place, writing this down. Never did i realized that at age 28, i will have the chance to actually tick almost about three fourths off my bucket list which a decade ago were all impossibilities. (I just listed them because i am thinking of a lifetime to work for it).
Things are coming my way in ways i never imagined. All these time, i thought i am just day dreaming thinking wishfully of extending my arms to reach the sky hoping to reach it but will never will. But just before my 28th year marks its first day, i realized the goodness the Lord has given me in my past years. God gave me things i never thought He would allow me to have as early as this is my lifetime. He permitted me to obtain degrees from higher studies, he allowed me to surpass 2 national licensure exams, he even gave me countless opportunities to travel and see the world ahead of me. (Thank you for the 19 countries, 26 cities outside my own). He gave me numerous new friends and. Helped me keep my old ones. He sent me in this world through a loving and supportive family. By twisting fate, he let me met the man i would happily enjoy the rest of my life with. God gave me numerous opportunities to stand up again after numerous downfall.
LOrd thank you for everything you have given, done, enabled, sustained for me in the past 27 years. From this day onward, i have no reason to disobey, to question on where and when will you send me.
Though i have gained degrees, i am still ignorant of life and the bitterness it could bring. I am still young of experience and yet to learn more of life's realities. Though i have stepped foot on many lands, i have more to see of the world and its hidden learnings. Guide me Lord as i venture through this life's journey. The winding road of adulthood and the responsibilities that comes with it. I may only feel the burden just now, a lot late compared to my peers. But as i leave the corners of my comfort zone, i am yet to see the real world. As i walked away from my familiarity range, i am bringing with me the love, learnings and advices from my family and friends. With much courage, thanksgiving and love, I am offering this new year of my life and now i can say, bring it on!
