"If I say, I forget my complaint, I will change my expression, and smile,' I still dread all my sufferings."
Job 9:27-28
Friday nite started as a beautiful nite for me. The praise and worship at church was beautiful. I did not know that on that same nite, i would face serious dread.
After passion nite, it was time to go home. Usually, there is a team i walk home with. But on this particular nite, i would have to walk home with only Hamlet as my walking companion.
About 10 minutes walk from where I live, I was suddenly attacked by guys I did not even know what their motive was. I stood there in pain and I was angry. I was angry at those boys for attacking a helpless woman with a child, I was angry at myself for standing there, I was angry at God for not protecting me from such danger.
My pain overwhelmed me for sometime that I could have easily forgotten to be thankful for God's protection. Nothing I had on me was robbed, Hamlet had not been harmed, I was not brutally injured. God had shielded me from so much. I needed to cry to Him and tell Him that as much as I was in pain, I was grateful that He had been with us. He is always there. His love never fails.
