Sometimes I am unaware how I got myself there and by the time I snap to ‘consciousness’, I am far in to back out. Somehow I will find myself organising an event or activity, time and again. One thing I have come to appreciate is that I am called to leadership. Even when the singing preparations require almost all evenings of my week days, I get the zeal to go and sing to the Lord. There is something that happens to one’s soul when they sing out and I do not know how best to explain it but, whenever we sing at mass or weddings and I see how the congregation breaks out in praise, my heart is full. In particular I belong to the worship team of Christ the King prayer group and the Blessed Women of Faith worship Team. (Beginning of campus which is a taste of ‘freedom’.) To this day, more than often you will find me in church spaces or church related activities if I am not at my day’s job.
Thanks to my elder brother, I was introduced to active participation in church at a time which is arguably the most critical in any growing adult’s life. One of my favorite things to do is minister through songs. So there is something interesting about being a middle child and most importantly an only girl and I would not trade that position for any other. (Yes! the African way) but I cannot argue that I was not loved dearly. Many who saw me grow, feel like I was favored the most although I believe otherwise. What is that thing they say about middle children? Yes I am a middle child and an only girl too. So here is what Day 2 of the #UGBlogMonth looks like for me. Writing facts about myself is not necessarily a cup of tea for me but a challenge is a challenge, and once in, there is no turning back. Ever felt like someone was stripping you? As you stand there, you are not sure who is judging you or cheering you on.
