This is a lesson learned . Not only that my students learn all they want from me, but I learn from them as well and today....... I learned from life . I am quite surprised by my decision but here is what happen . I started working for a tuition center which is quite close to where I live . I am also happy for the people that I work with as they are also friends of mine and we go to the same church. I first started working there on Sundays and it went onto Mondays as well .
As I progressed there , I was approached by my friend to start reading classes . Now , not only did I teach on Sundays and Mondays , I also went in to teach reading on Tuesdays and wednesdays . At this stage , yes i heard Kachiig !!! Wow ! I mean now I can earn extra . Not forgetting I also have two classes on Thursdays and Fridays coaching my aunt's grandchildren . Everything went on fine , I was okay with it . I was earning the money , and trying to save at the same time so that I could purchase a property . Little did I know that one day all of these will either break me or make me .
I enjoyed the drive and I was going on from day to day . The classes were helping me alright to save and all but at the same time physically I felt drained . I refuse to give up I went on untill the end of the year . Before the year was up , I got sick so bad , not once but many times in a year and I took a long time to recover. I was pushing myself too hard and whatever that I did , I felt that it was never enough . It was killing me and I refused to give up .
When December arrived , there were no classes at all . It was during this time that I prayed to the Lord and asked Him to help me . I prayed and asked for strenght for I just can't do it anymore . It has been awhile since the day I prayed and I knew the answer that I seek . It's not about the money now, it's about me , to be well and happy . For I know now ,all I have to do is pray and place my trust in the Lord . I was asked to conduct the reading classes for this year and I told my friend no and to pass the class to another teacher who needs the money the most . I was not afraid or worried how it was going to be or turn out . I affirm that I can do anything in the Lord's name and all I have to do is ask . The saying also goes My help shall come , from the Lord who made the havens , I will lift my eyes to the Lord for my hope is the Lord .
I learned today, that as of today no more worries , I must be happy with my decision and live . I am proud of what I did and my parents think so too . It's a milestone trying hard to save up and I know in my heart that one day I will have enough to get a house for us .
