I asked God to give me straight A’s
But 2 came out as TH
I asked for straight A’s again
But God just gave me 4
I asked God for 9 this time
But why he gave me only 4 and I got 7 for add maths
Why
Why
And why?
He is so unfair
Going to boarding school
Becoming a forensic expert
These were my dreams
I didn’t ask much
But why He didn’t fulfill it
I went to church every Sunday
I fast 24 hours before every examination
But why?
My life was ruined
I can’t see what future awaits me
I enrolled in form 6 science
I got my confidence back in my run to achieve my dreams
Just 2 months and I found out it was so difficult for me
Chemistry made my cry
Biology drove me crazy
Maths was killing me
Oh God will I ever get through this
I have thought of quitting
But how can I tell my friends when they ask me what I’m doing now
Then came this telegram stated there about an interview
After two days I went and came unprepared
The writing test was easy but the interview session was way tougher
I didn’t know any current news so I just made up
1 month later came this offer later
Yes I made it
But I cried
I cried because I’m going to bid adieu to my family
5 years of study and now I’m a TESL graduate
Looking back on how my life was before
I feel so embarrassed
I feel so ashamed
If I take the time to listen to His voice during that time
I think this is what He will say to me
My child,
It’s not that I don’t want to give you straight A’s
But you are not ready for it
For you will become snobbish
And leave me behind
I asked you to continue with your ministry but you turn Me down
For I know your strengths and weaknesses
For I know you what future holds for you
And I know what’s the best for you
Today I say to God
Thanks for everything
Thanks for always standing beside me when I turn you down
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to know about You
I will never stop thanking You
For the greatest thing in my life is knowing You
I didn’t know much why You wanted me to become a teacher
But I now I know you have given the vision to me
To be the light and salt to my students
And now I stop asking but I start doing
