Tell your story #33 (Be careful of the decisions you make)
Greetings to the beautiful people of this community, I trust you are doing great. Happy weekend to you all. Please as it is weekend don't ki.ll yourselves with house chores, take out time to rest.
I appreciate @ruthjoe for this contest; and I still remain your girl @tripple-e.
I love this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson that says:-
Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen."
This is very true, because the word of God made me to understand that "Life and death are in the power of the tongue " and there's also power in a spoken word that's why it is always advised to speak and confess positively.
Now to my story; this is a true life story not fiction.
I grew up in the rural areas, I did my primary school education there, there was this boy named Jimmy in our community that was born crippled, so the mother used to carry him on her back to school everyday and came back to pick him after school. You could imagine the stress but she didn't care, the love of a mother.
Then one day God decided to show him mercy by bringing a white man who was a prophet to the community by organizing a crusade, people got delivered and the sick were made whole through that crusade.
Mothers brought out their children who were sick and by the Grace of God they were healed, but Jimmy was no where to be found the mother cried and search all over for him but he went into hiding, he loved his situation and condition then simply because the government was paying him as a disabled person, people took pity on him and were dashing him money.
He began to live a reckless life, womanized( he was actually a handsome guy just that he was crippled) he began to sell hard drugs and do drugs as well, he recruited your guys as his errand boys and was paying them.
I even heard he used jazz; kayamata( that is using diabolical means to make girls to love him. One even came living with him and he got her pregnant and the girl birthed forth a baby boy for him.
Jimmy became talk of the community that every mother warned their children against.
Both government and the organization that were supporting him stopped, he didn't have money again, all the boys that used to take turn to wheel him about stopped and the girl left him as well.
And he took to begging, today Jimmy is always sitting at Kilimanjaro begging for alms everyday.
Each time I want to buy at Kilimanjaro fast food I'll see him sitting on his wheelchair, he would like "Ahh! You have all grown o". Before nkor you didn't want me to grow?. Then I'd simply greet him and left.
Look at the path he chooses for himself to remain on a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Lesson Learnt:-
I have learnt that in whatever decision, action I take in life I should think about or consider the aftermath effect and outcome in the future.
