Some days back I had a problem with my former phone and I was left alone to thrive on the journey where I had no access to Internet, to the outside world and even to my close pals because most of my contacts were saved on the phone that got spoilt but one thing that kept me connected to the world was the access to radio stations. Listening to different stories and even motivational tips keeps me growing and also enhancing my knowledge of how people don't care about you unless they see you around and they want something from you. I spent most of my quality time listening to different news and entertaining gist but I was battered because I couldn't have access to pictorial evidence of most of the stories I was hearing and it really made me go crazy.

After much consultation from those that could help me add up money to get a new phone and nothing positive came out of the long wait . I checked the total amount of money in my account and I knew deep down in me that it ain't enough to get a good andriod phone which could meet my spec but I just got a spirit telling me to go out there and price a phone and see if I can still get a phone to manage for the main time and lo and behold I followed my heart.

It was a sunny Tuesday afternoon, I summoned the courage and I went to a phone outlet not too far from where I was working with an amount that I know ain't enough to get a good phone. I priced different kind of phone that met my spec but the fund ain't enough to get one but I was surprised when a lady at the shop outlet kept persuading me to point to the phone of my choice that she would make sure I get a phone before leaving the phone outlet that day and God had his way that very day, she and another lady added money up and balanced up the money for the phone and I became the owner of a phone which actually met my spec. I learnt a lesson that no matter what you think about your incapability of doing something ,God will always surprise you if he ain't done with you yet.

I got home that same Tuesday evening with just #150 richer than the rest of the world. I charged my new phone and I on my data and update myself with what's happening around me and check out some messages on my WhatsApp and it's obvious that some people missed me in my absence while some don't even know I was offline for some times but at the end of it all I got to know that someone needs me to put smile on his/her face and I went on with my usual habit of cracking jokes in my Alma matas group chat and the group became lively again.

Later that night I got a call from a street friend of mine who needed me to help him sell an iTunes card and here I am again with a little change in my account the following morning and then I remembered the saying "you can wake up to be a wealthy man".

If I hadn't summed up the courage to walk into that phone outlet even when I add an insufficient fund with me to get that phone , I wouldn't have access to the little change I got from the sales of the iTunes card and I wouldn't be able to crack up the ribs of my old school mates who had been silent on the group chat for days . Never doubt your spirit and never think someone doesn't need you, If God wasn't through with you, he wouldn't wake you up no more.

Happy Sunday and stay blessed .
