FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCT! MY 'LOST BUT FOUND' HAIR RELAXER!

I decided to change my hairdo this past weekend, probably just "relax" my hair! So that evening on friday, I got to the market and bought this hair relaxer, amongst other things. I got home and alas! I couldn't find the relaxer anywhere. I searched my hand bag, and emptied the nylon bags. Nothing. I became disturbed, all the anticipation of having a new look made me feel bad about the loss of that relaxer and I kept thinking about it that Friday. The money I had on me was just enough to pay the saloon, and for Sunday service. I decided to go to the ATM on Sunday. (Though I hated the stress of finding the nearest ATM while I am home). I actually did after morning service. It was about past 9am when I started looking around for where to buy another relaxer and then 'relax' my hair, I walked through the streets almost 3times, (back and forth). I even mistakenly enter some barbing saloons. Lolz. In a bid to find where to 'relax' at that early hour on Sunday.(I had found sometimes ago). I knew that if I took the walk home, It will be like a cow passing through the eyes of a needle for me to wear my clothes, and come out in the evening that Sunday to look for where to relax my hair. I doubted that possibility. (I did not come out again! Took my 'rough' hair to work on a Monday). On the other hand, when I couldn't find the relaxer on that Friday, a lot of thought went through my head, the dominant one was, "those two young ladies that sold the hair relaxer to me KNOW the whereabout of the ralaxer" because I remember I had received it from one of them, while I was standing and it was in a small black "nylon". I pulled it out of the 'nylon', to take a glance at it. I remember putting it in my hand bad already hanging on my shoulders, what I do not know was how it had disappeared. What I know was I remembered one of the girls was hovering around me and the other girl was suddenly looking so happy, giggling uncontrollably. I remember this vidly, I just didn't think the giggling concerned me then. I became a little bit angry at the possibility that one of them may have picked the relaxer from my bag, or it had fallen on the floor and they had decided not to call my attention to it. I thought too much, it even distracted me a little this past weekend. Maybe it is because I almost never misplace things, I am so much conscious of my valuables, especially when I am on Nigerian Streets. Lolz. Also I don't like the thought of being 'deceived' or 'outsmarted' etc. I decided I will go back to that saloon in that market. I just needed closure😟😕😂 Its Monday morning today, I had a matter for hearing in court, it did not go on, 'ill health' from the other side. We adjourned and I remembered the relaxer, I decided to find my way to the nearby market where the saloon is, I thought, "maybe I should go at the close of work" my instinct said to me "Chinelo just go". So I was thinking of what to say to them, maybe I should explain, or I should say, "I bought a relaxer here on Friday, I remember seeing it last, here and I came to check if you guys kept it for me." Or I should say, "one of you TOOK my relaxer, please give me!". (No, that will make them confrontational, I thought). I eventually went, I greeted and started explaining, "please I came to buy a relaxer on Friday".... I met two of you, I recognize one, that one, suddenly gave me this knowing, 'tiny-smile' look and she told the other girl, "ehn that relaxer", the other girl was already hastily pulling out one of the relaxer from the full pack and then handed it over to me! While I was receiving MY PRECIOUS RELAXER with all gleefulness and joy I was nodding in confirmation at the same time exclaiming, "ehn! I know its not easy for me to lost something!😁 in the same breath I left them hurriedly! (I noticed the girls were not looking happy for me😜😂 with wisdom I didn't want us all to go into the details of my lost relaxer that ended up in their pack of relaxer). All I know is that ..ONCE MY RELAXER WAS LOST, NOW ITS FOUND. I LEARNT THESE LESSONS FROM MY EXPERIENCE 1. Follow your instinct, 'TRY!' for there is no harm in trying, take that step that seems useless! 2. Pray about everything! I prayed that I will find the relaxer without even having so much faith, I just had a tiny tiny tiny faith like a mustard seed. (That all the bible says we need). 3. Believe what you read in God's word, I read several parts of the scriptures this past weekend, I remember 1peter5vs 7 . that says, "cast all your cares upon the Lord cos he cares for you". I told God about it. 4.Every thing is possible, you need not know how it will happen. Just keep you hope alive. 5. I also confirmed that God is with me, He is working with me in my journey through life, I have been making fruitful decisions through the wisdom He have given me, I am confident that every decision I have to make in my nearest future, will be the best decisions of my life. I decided to share this with you reading right now, I hope you will learn one or two lessons too!

LOVING ALL OF YOU!

As a lady,have you ever felt bad because of some physical defect you seem to have? Or someone especially a guy, ever made you feel bad by constantly referring to these so called defect, like magnifying it? It could be talks on how short you are, how dark your skin is, or how fair you are, maybe talks on how 'unsexy' your legs are, it might even be how 'badly tall' you look, for some of us, it may be, how 'small' your back side is, or the size of your boobs, you may just be told outrightly how 'ungood' you look. The list is endless, I could go on and on.
