In a space of ten days, two similar events occurred in my life that got me thinking. Now I know that life is indeed fragile and quite unpredictable. The bible describes us as mere mortals; here today, gone tomorrow.
Who would have thought that my trip from Enugu to Lagos would come to a halt half way. It was a head on collision and we found ourselves in a ditch. I had ignored the voice in me that asked me to pray more. (My rosary precisely)
Well, I found myself in a wide hole but a guardian angel was right there, he pulled me out and in a few minutes I was rescued from a near fatal accident and on my way again to Lagos in a better vehicle.
Someone said to me, "why go by road?" Me: "is the air safer?" That's my way of hiding the fact that I pray and match invisible brakes for as long I'm on air. Ground travel gives me peace of mind. I'll get over it some day but till then, I love to look at the trees and the hills as I journey on, they keep me company.
Who would have thought that in less than fifteen minutes of ending a call with hubby by saying "see you at home" that my next destination would be the hospital?
Who would have thought that while I worked on a plate of Lagos party jollof rice that my boys were rudely surprised by an accident caused by a BRT bus with failed brakes?
Who would have thought that while I enjoyed a drink of my favourite liquor, my boys were being treated in the hospital for wounds sustained in an accident which would have been fatal?
Who would have thought that while we live like there's no God, that God still cares and watches over us?
What if the ditch the vehicle I boarded plunged into was a river? What if the oncoming vehicle was a trailer? What if my four year old was in that van when the BRT bus used it as a wedge for its failed brakes?
Why did hubby leave him at home after we agreed that he would go with him on that journey? Why did I choose to go elsewhere than go get my boys? Why was it a BRT bus and not just some regular danfo?
I will never know why, but I am so grateful and I believe God more. I will surely dance the devil to shame in church later today. He messed with the wrong woman, God's got my back from way back and the devil had the wrong address.
