This is my entry for week 105 edition 3. It's been a tough moment here because of the serious change in weather. The kind of heat we experience here is unbearable for me as if you could use it to cook even some eggs and possibly food. Thank God we have borehole in the house. My kids visit the bathroom virtually every hour jut to have a cool bath. Special thanks to the management of this community especially for their consistency in bringing up prompts such as this. To every participant, I wish us a great weekend
The theme for this edition is quite amazing and interesting alongside. Sincerely I found it difficult to even title it until I went to convenience to ease out some stuff first before I felt relieved and suddenly the title popped up into my spirit. Though tough but I'm strong. In this post I will be sharing a true life story of a difficult situation I went through but at the end of the tunnel it built me and made me better. The uniqueness in our make up also affect the kind of situation we all pass through in the course of life's journey. My situation might far different from yours however there could be like terms.
There are so many difficult situation I have been through but let me start with this one. It was indeed a dark moment for me. I was in Jos plateau State then rounding up an educational assignment from school when I receive a hot phone call that my elder brother had an accident. Immediately they dropped the call, my spirit wasn't at rest at all. I felt like something left me and I became so light. I was so closed to him especially when I come for break or holiday. Sometimes he picks me up for a stroll to his house and hostel too where he was doing his degree studies. Many people say our voice sound alike hence they become more confused whenever they see me at his place of work.
The phone call really changed my entire mood and I couldn't hold myself. Straight I went to my house gathered my things then moved to my home town. As soon as arrived, I saw women fellowship already playing local musical instruments hmmm I knew indeed something is wrong somewhere. I boosted into uncontrollably tears for a long period of time. I felt very bad as human being and kept imagining how would someone just agile like that waste when a car pushed him?? God knows more than I do.
The demise of my elder brother really brought total revival in my life and the entire family at large. He left a vacuum though and an exemplary life worth emulating. You could see crowd that came shedding tears and lamenting how He affected their lives positively. Another amazing thing was that his wife was discipled by him when she came to do an internship in his place of work then. Wow what an imprint. He taught me how to write essays because he was good at writing scripts for drama presentation in our local church then. He was a source of inspiration to so many things.

## *lessons*

*His death revitalise my prayer life. I have never prayed earnestly with such energy like that day. Infact alongside my other siblings we were all on fast on the day of burial.*
*I never knew that I would overcome such difficult situation because it was tough time for me but I learnt to be a man and be strong.*

*It was tough but I'm strengthened and better now. All things worked for good to them who loved the lord. Thanks.*
