Happy New Month, my dear reader. 🫡
September smells like a new beginning. It's a time to do what you love, a time to just start without second-guessing anything.
I don't know if I'm the only one that feels this way but I love this feeling.
It is giving me adventure, daring, and going out for myself.
In the same way, I'm back from the break to serve you better and you are in for my writings to bless you always.
Hi my gentle reader, how are you doing and how was your day?
I'm fine and my day went well and I was able to complete my task for today.
To what I have for you today.
I boarded a cab going to Iwo Road, and I sat in front. Then a young boy came and said he was going to stop B and The man told him 300 naira and the boy said he had just 200 naira and I pitied him that is it because of the 100 naira he won’t get to his destination. I just heard a yell, the driver just said in Yoruba “ bring out the balance and enter because I won’t carry you if your money isn’t complete” and the next thing, this guy’s money was 300 naira and he entered the cab. I was shocked.
In my head, I was like people who now genuinely need this assistance won’t be assisted because some people have decided to misuse it to the point of it being noticed and no one would want to be a fool or seen as one. The trust has been broken and I’m sure that driver has seen it play out countless times with other persons for him to not believe that boy.
In the same way, in relationships, Trust is a very important and once broken continuously it would be difficult to believe anything that comes from you, and not just you, even if people are genuine will be affected as the victim would also feel that way every time someone brings that pattern their way.
Just like the driver didn’t believe the boy, you, your partner, your friends, etc might not trust you or you might not trust them based on so many times this trust has been breached and treated like it wasn’t important.
No matter how much love and understanding are in any relationship as little as a passenger to driver relationship, once breached it takes a lot of effort to get it back. Goes vice versa, if the driver mentions something about him kidnapping, automatically you’d feel threatened and want to get out of the cab because you don’t trust him again.
There is a saying that Trust people and put your trust IN God. It is just a reminder that people can break our trust and disappoint but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t still trust people and do our part always but ultimately put your Trust in God always. He is the only one who disappoints you or breaks that trust as you can put all your eggs in his basket and be assured nothing will harm those eggs and even you, the owner of those eggs.
Eggs here stand for every aspect of your life not removing any. Eggs are delicate and handled with care, just like your Life and you should entrust it to God who can do that for you and much more than you can ever imagine.
This is a reminder for you and me to put our trust more in God and also still trust people as there are still good people in this world who genuinely need you and me so don’t let what someone else did change you.
Sending you lots of hugs 🫂
Till I write to you again,
I’m Monica-Mary.
