NWA BARROW WAS MY NAME! My family lived close to the timber market in Nsukka. Each holiday while in junior secondary school, I would always take my mums wheel barrow to go raise some money to support the payment of my fees (since I was in a private school which was quite expensive for my parents Then). I leave home before 7:30 am to come back after 6 pm. I come back every day with body aches from the days hard jobs. On one occasion I over loaded my wheel barrow and it got stucked in the middle of the road under heavy afternoon sun, I tried to push but it wouldnt move, out of frustration I began to cry when No one was beating me. I understood nobody asked me to do this kind of labor, my dad wasnt in support, but I wanted to help out. On many occasions I will hide behind different objects on sighting my school mates because I didnt want them to know that I was nwa barrow ( I was well known in my school). When a new term begins, I wouldnt want to shake my school mates and friends because they might notice my rough and hardened palms. I wasnt proud of the kind of job I was doing then, I wasnt proud to be referred to as nwa barrow by my customers. At a point I stopped caring about what I was called or what my mates will say, I had to remind myself that I may have to bear this name temporarily but that is not who I am. In the mist of all these Grace Still made me an excellent student and that Same Grace made what I am today. Things are different now, Im not where I used to be. Hmm, beloved, I dont know where you are or what you are passing through presently. Never allow that unpleasant situation you are in or that meager job you are doing to define who you are, something within you tells you that You worth more than your present job or situation describes about You. I understand you have to ride okada, keke, taxi, mix cement, do Mason job, cultivate for people just to survive and possibly support yourself in school. Just make sure you Keep your eyes focused on whom you have believed and where He is taking You. For No condition remains permanent under God, a new chapter of your life story is about to open. Your Weeping may have endured for the long night but your season of joy comes shortly. In the mist of the tough times, Keep your eyes on the glory that lies ahead of You and Keep moving forward. Your best days are Still ahead of you, your best songs are yet to be sung, God will make Your life a wonder, your story will inspire many. Infact this is your season, its your turn to shine! Amen! DO HAVE A FAVOUR FILLED DAY. I LOVE YOU!
