Its 3am in them morning again and after a very loooooooong day in Lagos traffic, I still am awake. The thots dat run thru my head are....where do I start.
I am happy, I choose to be happy. I am grateful to God my Father for the people he has sent into my life. My husband - Kenn. Ur ways are not my ways but I appreciate them cos they still achieve the same results. I love him oh! Hmmmmm...I didn't know this was how it felt to love someone and if I hadn't been taught how to by the best parents in the world - my Pastors (Pst K nd Pst M) I am sure I wlda gotten it all wrong! Love is about giving 100% and not expecting anything back. I know some people don't agree with me on this but that's gist for another day. Read ur bible (1 Corinthians 13).
Did I tell u why I was in traffic for so long? Hmmmmm...dats how Kenn asked me to represent him at a wedding on the Lekki side of town (I live in festac). While planning on how to drive down with Kendra (she's the best baby in the world! I am thankful such a stressfree baby exists and not just that...she is mine!!!), my friend drops off her baby with me to babysit so off we all go to the island! Just as I was getting to Apapa, I realised I had forgotten the IV and the wedding was one of those strictly by invitation events so I thot and thot (I eventually thinked!) Made a few calls and eventually had to go back home to get the IV! How I got home with Lagos traffic is anoda gist for anoda day oh! Hmmmmmm...passing thru surulere, I had a screaming baby and another for backup in the back of my car!!! On Ozumba Mbadiwe road, I had to park the car and attend to both kids. Kendra was hungry so once I fed her, she was good to go. 'My son' on the other hand, needed his mommy so all efforts to pacify him were rebuffed (even with all my mommy skills). He eventually ate (u don't wanna know how I got him to do that) and slept off! *phew*.
Thank God for my friend who accompanied me and for the fact that I was on an errand for my lord! I wlda just turned around for the second time and headed home.
So both well fed (I did some Jane Bond things), 'my son' slept while Kendra started her singing then slept off just as we arrived Lekki.
With all the stress of the day, I walked into the wedding venue (late) and really was still asking myself why I had gone thru all that trouble to be here when the bride and groom got up from their gazebo, with huge smiles on their faces and their arms wide open to welcome us! Awwwwwwwwww...it was worth every bit of what I had been throughh to be there. Camera's were flashing, smiles etc. I just knew I had done the right thing.
Why is there construction going on everywhere at the same time in this Lagos self! Took me a whole 3hrs to get to Lekki (include going back to get the IV).
So I obeyed my husband, baby sat 2 babies successfully, drove 3hrs to a wedding and made the couple happy. Everyone is happy! Including me! Irrespective of the fact that I was tired, I always get satisfaction when I know I ve put a smile on someone's face.
That's love!
