When I was in my secondary school my name was almost changed to a traveling secretary because i traveled virtually all the time. I was a leader of my fellowship and it happened that I discovered ny purpose in life at an early stage. This enables me to align with whatever I do. Traveling used to be a hobby to many people whereas to some of us is like a life style because of the nature of life purpose. One of the cardinal things i do is to reach out to people in accelerated and deserted area with good things. For the past four to five years i have consistently been traveling to rural areas sharing things with them.
For the sake of this post, i have been asked to share about my recent travel, how was it and the experience thereof. Last week I was in benue state for my final defense. It wasn't an easy journey anyway but God showed up and preserved me all through the process. I had the privileged to travel back to the city of makurdi just two days ago. That's the most recent travel i engaged that covers more than 200 kilometers away from where i reside. Even though yesterday i stumbled into another different local government to check something but that can't be compared with the journey on Wednesday. I left my base early in the morning with the mind i would get my desired vehicle. Hmmmm this was where the experience began.
I found myself standing waiting for a vehicle that would proceed directly to makurdi because the park in my locality is not functioning any longer. A friend of mine called to encourage me that I would soon get a car but it appears as if all vehicles had been ceased from the road. I stood by the road more than 2hours. I started moving up and down infact getting worried. Later one of the casual worker came and told me that there's a blockage on the road by the safety officers. They charge drivers a lot which made them to parked and wait till afternoon before they start moving. I now nodded my head.
As my patience continues, a golf 2 vehicle came and picked me direct even though i argued with him over the transport fare but anyway it was direct so no problem at all. I noticed as if the vehicle doesn't have good shocks but the driver accelerates high. The direct passengers weren't much so he did pick and drop which encroached into my time. I wasn't happy about this . I got to the school a little bit late but thank God my typist had already set the in his system which made the whole process very easy. I gingered the guy to put more effort so that we finish and i return immediately. He said wow is it possible? I said why not. Boom 💥 we were done and soft binding as well done.
He did a wonderful job. I even added some few amounts to encourage him.
As I was returning, i got an affordable car though similar challenge pick and drop which prolonged the journey. We were moved to another vehicle before i finally got to my destination. Thank God I arrived safely and met my family fine.
what i enjoyed
- I was able to finish the task same day and returned immediately.
- I met new faces of passengers.
- I learned how to be patient no matter how urgent I need something.
- I learned how to talk to people in a gentle and polite manner.
Next journey?
When its time i would let us know but i thinking of traveling on 27th as children's day to celebrate it with special disability persons. Pray along with us. Thanks for reading through my entry.
