Memories From July
I have never been the type to keep track of months and events but in recent time, I’ve had to do that. I love how each months reminds me of a distinct event or memories and I enjoy reliving those memories.
This write-up is inspired by Oyinlola Lawal, our community manager at The Exponential Community as part of our July 2021 challenge.
My best July so far is July 2020, when I passed out of the NYSC Scheme. Prior to that time I had discovered Medium.com and I was also coming to accept my that my dream of becoming a writer/author was going to be a reality and for the reality to take place, I needed to put in the work.
You see, I discovered I had a flair for writing 2017, but I was not confident that people would love to read what I write and I had no idea about what I was going to write. But as the saying goes, “you get clarity on the way”(rephrased version), I found clarity after starting.
My first write-up was My Journey into the tech world, surprisingly, one year after I’m still in the tech world but on a different path. I also found clarity and purpose after starting out and I am embracing it.
When I left NYSC in July, 2020, I was clueless about life after nysc. The only thing God was saying to me was GO HOME!! At first, I didn’t want to, i wanted to stay back in my state of deployment and see if i could actually either get a job or stay back till I get a job wherever because I wanted to enjoy living alone but “mercies said NO”, you have to go back home before anything will happen.
With assurance and confidence from God’s word, I packed my bags and went back home to my family. It was a tough season of my life because my friends/people around me got jobs and I did not, I still reminded myself of God’s word for my life and that was what kept me through that phase.
One year after, I am glad I went back home to my family!
One year after, I am glad i took the step to start publishing my articles/write-ups on medium, I have lost count of the opportunities and doors, this single act has opened up for me.
I am grateful for God’s blessings and covering over me, the ease and sweetness that comes from it is unexplainable.
Cheers to many more ground-breaking JULY’s!!!
Cheers to breaking new grounds for Jesus my lover!
