About to resume evening session. If i say i no taya am lying. gave the woman her money, meaning i would be sleeping at the church tonight rather than that cold site had lil time to go to the bins around to pick up plastic bottles for the engine oil. Although the biz is crawling but thank god that engine oil for now has no ex date. as you prepare for weekend please reach out to people. #ikanfitkarigun dutycalls 3 Likes

Had a very long walk this morning, just to clear my mind. what am i not doing right? am i stupid chasing after God? am i actually doing the right thing? can my sins ever be forgiven? too many questions with limited or no answers. on my way back from my endurance trek found a pawpaw tree lo and behold a ripe one was there staring at me breakfast is served (i no steal the pawpaw o, i ask person for the place if i fit pluck and a go ahead was given) #ikantfitkarigun 6 Likes

vikgreen01 Seems to me like you've set yourself up for a very successful llife. Success is not defined by the material things we posses. Don't quote me on this. I took the quote direct from the manufacturer of human beings and you'd agree He is best placed to know what success looks like. Hardwork, diligence and integrity will ensure you have food on the table twice a day, have a decent roof over your head and have a shirt on your back. Ultimately, that's all a human being needs. Everything else is the vainness of our ego driving us! I am proud of you. I hope you don't ever deviate no matter how rough things get. I went to uni at 13. My parents were middle class with eight other kids to take care of in addition to numerous cousins and stary eyed kids they kept taking in. Life at uni was hard. All I had going for me was the blessing of an incredible mind and a determination never to give up. Today, I've got a roof over my head, can eat twice a day and have a shirt on my back. More importantly, I derive joy in "paying forward" the kindness I received from strangers as a kid. Everyting else is the vainness of our egos! vikgreen01: 5 Likes 1 Share |

NemoDatQuod: I came from a family of 7, average class with 5kids so I know what you passed through. Thank you for this piece and I won’t forget it.!!! There are millions out there who has gone thru thin and tough. I just want to make sure the op doesn’t feel like he’s the only one in that situation. I had few friends whom we grew up that way Nd we will never give up.!!! 1 Like |
