It Was Postponed!!

It's day 281 of documenting 2025

84 days to 2026!

So, today's post is going to be very different.

It will be more like a list that a set of paragraphs.

Bear with me on this...as I will just give the facts, not talk about how I felt.

Reason?

I'm already running out of time to type and publish this before I miss the streak.

My phone battery is literally 37% and I still have a few things to work on this night.

Imagine me typing by 10:45 PM 😏

And yes....

I'll also share today's highlights and give my take, like a list as well.

Let's get into it!

➡️ Woke up this morning to fetch water. Still no light today, which is annoying 😒 

➡️ Discovered that we won't be traveling tomorrow as planned earlier. Mortified 😳 

➡️ Dad urged me to go back to the school. I didn't go, because...

"I can never turn back oo...It's already too late oo....it won't make sense oo"

(If you know, you know 😉)

➡️ Stayed home all morning. Did a Bible study titled, "The Called and The Chosen". Kinda felt like God was teaching me.

➡️ Almost fell asleep during the Bible study...then heard clearly, "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak". 

Prayed for mercy and strength.

➡️ Washed a few clothes before starting the Bible study, which dried well because of the sun 🌞 

➡️ Afternoon? Got to work on my suitcase. There was a place that needed sewing up. 

Took some time...but it's done ✅ 

➡️ Siblings came home. Ate their lunch which I took a little of (not so fond of pasta these days 😐).

➡️ Students from the school came to my house to see me. It was all hugs and smiles and "I'll miss you, miss Uche". They also gisted me about the new teacher they had. Then they left, after saying their goodbyes.

Okay okay....is this list getting too long? 

Maybe, just maybe 🤔 

I still have a lot more to share tho...

(You say what?)

But we'll do that after the highlights for today.

365 Days With Self-discipline 

📌 On the Hardships Writing Your Life Story

"You can recall everything you have worked hard and patiently for in your life, but how many things that you have attained with little or no effort can you remember?"

Quote by Thomas Sterner

When you’re struggling with your goal and feel tempted to give up, remind yourself that ultimately, it’s the hardships that write your life story and make it so exciting and memorable.

As Thomas Sterner points out, we don’t remember things that we achieved easily — and often, they don’t even make us particularly happy or we don’t consider them significant.

Working hard and patiently to achieve an important but difficult goal isn’t just an unpleasant thing that you need to do to get to your destination — it’s life itself, a state a human being needs to feel fulfilled and inspired. 

A life without challenges is neither happy nor does it lead to you realizing your full potential.

See your current hardships for what they are — a powerful opportunity to embrace your human nature, grow as a person, and an awesome inspirational story you’ll be able to share with others in the future.

➡️ Used to think of this before...that I would address a crowd of people in the future.

That made me do courageous things.

➡️ These days, I don't do so anymore. It's like that vision is buried. I need to reconnect.

➡️ Hardships in life, make an inspiring story. No battle, no victory.

Okay, where were we?

Oh yes....students from school who visited.

➡️ (Forgot to add) Slept for an hour and thirty minutes before they arrived. Really enjoyed the nap 😴 

➡️ Set out to run a few errands for Dad. Had to come back because the person to meet wasn't around.

Got daily snack, shortbread cookies tasting magnificent.

My sister didn't take offer, she doesn't like the biscuit. (That's her preference...)

➡️ Feeling sleepy right about now...

But wil continue with typing till I'm done. 

➡️ Evening, mainly discussing with my sister about the injustice to teachers when it comes to salary payment. We shared stories of our bosses.

➡️ 7PM. Started with the training session (for my upcoming content writing trainees 😁), which lasted for 45 minutes.

➡️ Ate dinner and then went outside for a walk. Joined a students webinar for freshmen.

Twas very impactful. Grateful that there would be a recording, because I didn't take any notes.

➡️ Was mentioned several times on the group call. Felt good to be recognized 😊

➡️ Was called to pray with my family (night prayers), after which I rejoined the webinar.

The webinar ended, but not before I got a message from one of the speakers regarding a question I asked in the group.

➡️ Currently trying not to doze off...so I can publish this before today ends in 39 minutes.

That would be all for today's post. 

Thanks for reading 🎀 

I hope you got the main scoop for today....which is, I won't be leaving tomorrow...I still got time. 

You can read up on former posts, especially how I mentioned that it was kinda sudden.

But now, I just feel like God is making me walk in His pace, not mine.
