Recently I have gotten so many stumbling blocks as regards my blogging and as I get through one, I stumble on yet another, either internet modem stops working or the battery on the modem would not charge again, in all this, my phone that means so much to me, fell face flat on the floor, thanks to the real owner…babyJ. I have kept a very happy face and even did not let it destroy my mood, then this night , I think I felt bottled up and just wanted to let go to God, that is how I went straight to having a conversation with God. “I need a break lord,  chai! this girl is tired, can I even just get a breakthrough, can I get a better recognition for my blog, I hustle everyday to get even one comment, I like blogging but how come everything is holding me back, from modem to stories that would decide not just post! I don’t even understand all this technical stuff I have to handle daily, I am just tired…” that is how I slept off feeling a bit defeated.

ust for me to be going through my mails yesterday and I saw a company asking to advertise on my blog for as much as 950 dollars, “Chineke! Is this magic or what?” I asked for breakthrough but this was mind blowing, I could burst into half praise and half worship, all I saw was what to use the money for, a lot came to mind, I couldn’t even finish reading it when I turned to Mrpossible to give him the gist, while reading , I was running out of breathe, my mouth getting dried, that he did not understand what I was saying…hehehe. I had to read it again anyways, this time more put together and the boy did not move, he just said , I would be happy if this is true but it sounds like fraud to me, see household enemies o, my breakthrough is knocking at the door and you are  killing it, we finally decided to browse on the company, that is when I saw i was not the only lucky one that they were willing to give 950 dollars and in some of the messages people said “If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is” after finding out that my monthly 950 dollars was a scam, I felt very bad, why couldn’t this one just be true?

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we feel pressed against the wall, we pray for help with the last strength we have, then all of a sudden, something sort of a breakthrough comes, it could be in relationship, a marriage proposal, business and just after rejoicing, then you realize it was not for real, you are confused and asking ‘why couldn’t this just be it, why didn’t this just work out, was this not what I was praying for?, If it wasn’t the right thing for me, then why did it come at all?’ Here is my thought as at today, sometimes we ask God for a quick solution to our growth and development, we are tired of the setbacks, delays and things that look like the breakthrough and turns out to be a scam/false. I would like to tell you that what God has in store is always better, bigger and greater and when he is done with it, you would realize that you are more refined to handle the real deal and finally, you would be thankful for the growth years and the growing pains.
