Today is 17th of May, isn't it? Well, on this day in 2017, I was attacked by the highway men and almost kidnapped. In 2018, at about the same time and the same day, I almost had a fatal accident. Today I am alive, hail and hearty because destiny and fortune smiled at me. I remain for ever grateful to God. Happy anniversary to me. This happened on the 14/05/2018 at 1700hrs: The car screeched as the break pads clasped their hands together around the break disc to bring the speeding car to a halt, but all to no avail. The car's rear leapt sideways as the front tyres obeyed the pads, the whole body swerved, following the rear and she lost control. The forces of nature swung her about in a 360 degrees motion while we swam inside partially restricted by our seat belts. My humble friend, a pharmacist, was seated next to me in the passengers seat, he rained insults on the car we had tried so hard not to ram into. I saw us suspended in our seats; thoughts of what the pain of a fractured bone, a deep laceration or a head injury was going to feel like took centre stage in my head; snapping back to reality, I saw a car which we had uncontrollably crossed into its lane lunging towards us and like an award winning blockbuster movie in slow motion, our car shifted and the car swept pass. I gulped. The car finally came to a halt on the shoulder of the road, safely settling us out of the reach of danger. I stepped out, so did my friend Boyi, and we looked into the distance as the jalopy we had almost crushed struggled on its way as though the whole world was without the troubles it had just set off. We thanked God, acknowledged the goodwill of some other drivers who had parked to congratulate us, got back in the car, started her engine, engaged the gear, put on the ac, strapped my belt and taking my foot off the break, she launched forward to our admiration. God loves me inexplicably. On this same road, at about the same time today last year, I escaped the snares of death when I was attacked by the highway men. I say happy anniversary to me and glory to God above alone. Thank you.
I am destine for something that I haven't yet found out. Jesus remains the author and finisher of my soul. Boyi, we have a lot to celebrate, we have a lot of living to do, you and I together will celebrate long life unlimited. God bless you brah.
