Day 10 of 30 days without Social Media

Saturday, November 20, 2021




I missed church last week so I woke extra early this week. 6 am I was showering and getting ready and I was out of the house by 8:30 and was at church a little after 9:15...I think.

I didn't have any breakfast because I just can't eat that early.


There was no one at church to teach the little one's their primary lesson and I would normally fill in for the teacher for the bigger kids, But since no one showed up one class was left without a teacher. I decided to take the little ones and that was probably one of the best decisions of my life. Allow me to ramble for a minute:


Children are so funny. I literally had a 15 minutes lesson and I felt like I was there for 30 minutes. After each of my sentences, someone had something to say. These kids were here telling me their life stories, I could tell you a lot about what happened in some of their houses and they talked nonstop. When I finally got the chance to finish the class and I asked someone to end in prayer this little girl had us standing for 5 minutes thanking God for every single thing in her life.


Kids are so precious and I definitely would not mind doing that again. They even hugged me and called me 'Miss'. I am crying right now.

Did i tell you guys that I couldn't find my house key? Well, now you know. So after church and i walked home in the very hot midday sun, I was hungry and thirsty and II really wanted to sleep.

I was told there was a spare key at X location. I got home and walked on my verandah, I didn't want anyone to know I left my key because it is embarrassing. I sat in the chair outside and i took off my blouse leaving me in an under blouse so I would look normal. I look at the place where the key should be and...NO KEY!!


Dude, I swear I circled my house five times, my neighbours probably thought I was finally going crazy. So I made a makeshift seat at the back of the house so that no one would know I was locked outside, I had my lunch that I carried home with me and I was left hot and thirsty sitting on a block leaning on my back door and trying to sleep on my hands.


I don't know how long I have been out there, but after what felt like an hour I finally heard movement inside the house. So I knocked on the back door and my mom came out. She asked me if I didn't hear her calling me. Well, I was busy trying to sleep and I didn't have a key. Do you know that TikTok that say your Mom can literally find anything, it's like she grabbed it from thin air?


Well, my mom went to the same spot she said she had the key and just took it up. I was 100% sure the key wasn't there. Sometimes I think God just sit on his throne and plays with me like a bratz doll. I was so pissed but I was not sure who I was pissed at. The first thing I did was to get some water and sleep only to be woken up 30 minutes later to go grocery shopping.


Describe my day in one word? MISERABLE

But I can't forget the little angels I taught that morning.
