Contrary to popular opinion, Mondays have never been overwhelmingly hectic for me. However, this week's was an exception. My initial plan was to engage in a full-body workout at StayFit Fitness Club, followed by a relaxing afternoon at home, culminating in my usual Steemit writing routine. But fate had other plans. Did you know that I escaped death when going back home that evening? Hmmmm, I'm grateful to God for sparing my life in a near-fatal accident. I'll recount my eventful Monday through words and pictures.

My day started at 6:00 a.m. with our family's morning worship, where we shared in prayer and explored the scriptures together. I concluded our devotion with a heartfelt prayer, seeking guidance and strength for the day ahead. Feeling refreshed and renewed, I prepared for my workout. A rejuvenating bath later, I slipped into my fitness gear and headed out.

The next stop was the training ground, where I boarded a taxi, eager to tackle the day's physical challenges with StayFit Fitness Club. When I arrived there with @kidi40 and @emishael60, we delve into some full body exercise.

Jump squats	Weight lifts

I had an incredible time at Monday's StayFit Fitness training. The exercises pushed me to new limits, but I was able to execute them with precision. The routine included:

• Lateral cone taps to improve agility
• Dumbbell lifts for strength and tone
• Jump squats to boost power and endurance
• Weight lifts to challenge my limits

What impressed me most was the determination of my teammates, especially the ladies. Despite visible fatigue during the weight lifting exercise, they persevered and completed the assigned repetitions and sets. Their resilience and grit inspired me, reminding us that fitness is not just physical, but mental. After an intense 2-hour workout with StayFit, we returned the equipment to the store, marking the end of our session. Feeling invigorated yet exhausted, I strolled back home, eager to recharge and refuel.

Upon returning home, I took a warm bath, hoping to shake off the lingering fatigue. Despite the relaxing bath, I still felt drained. Instinctively, I reached for our refreshing coconut and savored its sweet, rejuvenating water. To my amazement, my energy levels bounced back after finishing the coconut water. Revitalized, I enjoyed a nourishing breakfast, courtesy of my loving family. With renewed vigor, I decided to retreat to my bed for a well-deserved rest.

The sun was so hot	On my way to the kingdom hall

Just as I was drifting off to sleep, my phone rang. It was my Christian brother, seeking my help in repairing our church's sound system, which had been dormant for months. Duty called! I swiftly swapped my rest mode for service mode, donning my red top and embarking on the 25-minute trek to the Kingdom Hall under the scorching sun. The urgency of the task and the desire to support my brother propelled me forward, overriding my fatigue.

Upon arriving at the Kingdom Hall, I met my dad, and we strategized our approach. To ensure safety and efficiency, he instructed me to retrieve a ladder. With the ladder in place, we began troubleshooting the sound system, dedicating over an hour to identifying the issue. Our progress was hindered by a crucial missing component: an audio cable. A search of local electrical shops yielded nothing, prompting us to dispatch someone to the NEPA line to procure the necessary cable.

Three hours passed, but our patience paid off. The brother returned with the elusive audio cable, culminating a lengthy yet fruitful journey. We eagerly plugged the cable into the transmitter, and our sound system roared back to life. The crisp, clear sound filled the air, a testament to our perseverance. As the sound system hummed back to life, I took a moment to express heartfelt appreciation to my brothers for their selfless support. We shared warm conversations, bonding over our shared accomplishment.

The man who had an accident	His wife looking at him and cursing him

It was getting dark, I began my walk home, eager to beat the nightfall. Crossing the tarred road, I suddenly found myself face-to-face with a speeding car, its lone headlight blinding me. I sprinted to safety, abandoning my slippers in the chaos. Breathless, I turned back to witness a horrific scene. An elderly man, standing behind me moments before, lay motionless on the ground, struck by the reckless vehicle. His forehead was bloodied from the impact, and his ankle twisted at an unnatural angle.

The man laying down helpless

The elderly man's family rushed to the scene, his wife among them. I braced myself for tears and urgency, expecting her to rush her husband to the hospital. But instead, her reaction stunned me. She mocked him, hurling hurtful words and insults. No empathy, no concern. In that moment, I quietly prayed: "God, grant me a loving partner or spare me the pain of a loveless marriage". The scene left an indelible mark on my heart.

I managed to walk down to my humble abode safely with fear of that incident. Before closing my eyes to sleep, I prayed to God for protection and life. That was how my Monday ended.
