A FULFILLED DREAM
When I was young, I used 2 dream a lot, then my mum used 2 call me "the dreamer", she said were it not dat I am a girl, she would have thought, I am a re-incarnated "Joseph d dreamer".
My dreams r usually complex & complicated, requiring days b4 my parents or even our pastor could come out with a substantive meaning 4 some of it. This is what I have been going 2ru, my parents dia4 counseled me richly on d need 2 be careful of opposite sex, bc 2 dem, I am a promising child, whom God has many things in stock 4, but irrespective of all dat d Lord has 4 some1, if d person fumbles along d line, all those things may not come 2 pass. They will cite Samson's example as well as Deuteronomy 28 (a bible book) dat says, if some1 stopped doing God's will God wil also not stand by His promises 2 d person again. They will say, Joseph's (known as Yusuf by muslims) dreams were fulfilled bc he didnt transgressed God's laws.
So, I bind these words of theirs into my heart..
While I was in Secondary Schl in Lagos State..bc dat was wia I lived all my life...I dreamt dat I left Lagos 4 a village & it was in dat village dat I got married 2 some1, a farmer...d marriage was blessed with 7 children.

While I was in Secondary Schl in Lagos State..bc dat was wia I lived all my life...I dreamt dat I left Lagos 4 a village & it was in dat village dat I got married 2 some1, a farmer...d marriage was blessed with 7 children.
When I
woke up, I began 2 wonder, me going 2 a village? What will I go & do
there? My parents hardly want us 2 visit our village, despite d fact
dat my father has a building in his home town & anoda @ d state
capital of my state, Ekiti state, he yet wont want us near home..So, I
reasoned until my reasons failed me, then I left reasoning, but I know
dat d dream was clear & was so real as if it wasnt a dream 2 at all.
I seek 4 more interpretation of d dream lest it has oda meanings 4m my Pastor, he told me dat God has shown me wia my hubby is dat I shd take my mind off any1 in Lagos or anytown 4 dat matter.
"Ha!" I exclaimed. How could dis be was my recurrent question.
Pastor said, @ his time it will be fulfilled as it is a dream 4 my future.
What is it dat will take me home?
Is it job or academics? There is no University situated in my home town, so wat is it dat will take me dia? At d moment I am in a sec sch, lest I wil say I wil go dia 4 my sec sch...I grew ova all dis thoughts later, & as God will assist me, I made my WAEC/NECO exams in a sitting...got an admission into a University.
My academics was without hiccups...I graduated, served @ a non troubled state by Boko Haram...
Afta graduation, I couldnt secure a job..connections failed us, then some1 informed my dad dat a Private University has been established in my state, n dat his daughter can secure a job dia..
On hearing dis, my dad gave me d Info dat why not try our state dat he heard of employment in progress...He gave me transport money and in Ekiti State I found myself...
Afta submitting my resume, i was given some tests which I passed n soon enof I was employed...
On a particular day, I was going 2 a bank 2 make some transactions then, I saw dis man, an averagely aged man...I Loved him instantly...but I soon brushed d thought off my heart..
He was also going 2 d bank, so in d same bank we were, I was able 2 assess him, unknown 2 me 2 dat he was also assessing me...due 2 network hiccups, we stayed longer in d bank & dia we developed rapport...exchange of fone numbas...We left d bank n was communicating afterwards.
