Today, the past revisited me.
I came face to face with a situation that occurred some few years ago. However, I am happy to say that it was the other way round this time.
I walked into this business center for photocopying and to have some documents scanned. What happened afterwards made me understand why God finally took me to that particular place.
I had walked past this particular place to my favourite place only to find out that they had no lights. I went back to the next place and didn't like their reception. After waiting around and none of the staff made any effort to attend to me, I excused myself. It was after all these that I finally settled on this place.
The guy was attending to a client but still managed to get me a seat and assured me he would attend to me in a while. After about ten minutes, he did.
When he was done with my tasks, he asked me a question that took me back to the past. The only difference was that, this time round, the seats had changed. I was the client and he was the typesetter.
I remembered how one good Samaritan sat with me in the past and talked to me that about this same subject.
He asked me about the difference between distance education and sandwich. I took my time to explain to him and what he said next was me talking some years back.
He said he has heard rumours that if you go to University, you will not get a job. That was when I remembered Kizito, the guy that God used to get my attention to go back to school.
For the sake of the past and armed with evidence of the present, I had a heart to heart with this guy. I explained to him how false such rumours were, especially, if you believe in your God.
He asked me so many other questions which I explained as well. We talked about how he will have to get someone to help him if he chooses to do the distance. We also talked about the pros and cons of both the distance education and the sandwich. He assured me he would think about it and make a decision. I also promised him I would go back to check on him in the future.
And my! Did it feel good to be of help to somebody who intended to take such a huge decision? The feeling was incredible.
I know that was God reminding me of how far He has brought me, how far He intends to take me, and above all, how much He expects me to do same for anybody in my situation.
It was such an honour being of help to this guy and it would be a blessing to be gifted with such a task.
It would be an honour to be able to encourage others in the least way possible.
