Driving Chronicles

A while back l got ordained to drive … (l see your face looking confused as you read but driving is a ministry do not argue keep reading).Ever since then there are certain roads l try and avoid which l call the lion s den it’s not that l am scared of the lions it’s that l am trying to save them from savage Cee (you know your girl doesn’t play).

I was getting ready to do my usual work errands and my boss says to me l should be back in an hour. In my head l am thinking that shouldn’t be hard (l know this city like the back of my hand so l wondered why there was emphasis on me keeping time).It only made sense as he hands me the keys .l stared at him and then keys stammered eehh,(there goes my body betraying me )as l stretch out to get the keys. My brain remained frozen as l tried to map out a driving route (yes you guessed it l had mapped a walking route.)

l walked out to the car and drove off to where well ..To the lion s den .In the car l had what l like to call an Issae moment. (An Issae moment is when you have an internal conversation with yourself using a mirror … l am not the only one who has these conversations right?)All this is happening while l am driving and l savage Cee shows up in the mirror she shouts you know you cannot keep driving straight time is ticking...l shrug my shoulders and realize she is right make a turn and boom enter into the den.

All was well in the den until it came to parking, the car switched off.l maintained my cool switched it back on and the lions started roaring (cars hooting and well driver displaying road rage) l still maintained my cool, parked the car and did my errands .As l was returning back to the office l was the one roaring (in my defense l had limited time to return to the office).You must say l am ready for the high way don’t you think,l mean l cannot display my Fast and Furious driving skills locally den is too small for me.

Needless to say this experience taught me you can only hide for so long from your fears, sometimes you have to face them head on .It might not be that bad even if it is bad you have the power and the strength to face it head on. After all God does not give us more than we can bear.
