The Diary Game #45: Share your day with us!

_{Edited with itel A70}

Introduction

Hi my ladies, it's exciting to be here again. Here's sending you blessings and plenty of hugs already.

How do you prepare for events? Do you just wait for the 'D'day to come, and you start preparing? Or do you ask people to work for you without close monitoring and supervision? Of course, I know that if a small percentage of people wait for the day before they start preparation or delegate tasks to people without supervision definitely, a greater number of people will be like me. Being like me in the aspect of preparing a head of it and also delegating tasks to others with very close supervision.

Do you know why I had to put us through these tough questions? It's because I used a good number of hours for practice today in preparation for an upcoming event we have next Sunday.

In essence, I want to brief my ladies about how my day, Sunday 23rd June 2024, went. On Sundays, I wake up as early as possible, as if it's a working day. This is because we need to be in church by 7am to attend a workers' meeting which the RCCG members call "Fresh Fire."

Morning Activities

Today wasn't a different one. I woke up by 5am, but I was just too tired to stand up. I only managed to stroll to the kitchen to boil water using the electric kettle because there was a power supply (Nigerians will understand). Our power supply comes in seasons and times. After I boiled water, I went back to bed due to tiredness until it was 6:00h on the dot when my alarm rang to remind me to stand up.

Again, I stood up, and I went to the children's room to wake them up so that they could bathe. Long story cut short, we packed and left for church, and we got to the church at exactly 7:20am. We were late. I went to the children's church to ensure my children ate because we usually leave the house in a hurry in order to meet up with time. That's why they eat their breakfast in church every Sunday morning.

I quickly fed them and I returned to the workers' meeting which usually lasts for just an hour, 7-8am every Sunday. After the meeting, it was followed by Sunday school, whose topic was "Fulfilling Purpose." From there, the main service began, and we dismissed from church at exactly 11:30am.

So, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Akwa Ibom Province 1, Choir, of which I am a member, is having a praise programme on Sunday. I needed to rush home to drop off my children at home so that I could attend a choir rehearsal in preparation for the event on Sunday. That's why I asked if we prepare ahead for events, or we wait for the day before preparation.

Afternoon Activities

I really rushed home, ate a little food in a hurry and I left for the rehearsal which was meant to start at 1pm. I arrived there by almost 1:30. Yes, I was late again. Lord show me mercy. So, I met them still in opening prayer, then we sat down to sing after the prayers.

I mean we sang from about 1:30 to 5pm. Yes, we needed to put in that much time to achieve excellence. We kept correcting our mistakes till it got perfect. It was necessary because we didn't want to have an extra rehearsal or leave in a hurry and end up with many errors on the day we would minister the song.

It was really a long time, but it was worth it. In summary, I spent my whole afternoon to evening in the church in preparation for our praise concert.

It was almost 6pm before we left the church because we had to get detailed information about the programme while we also offered prayers concerning the event.

At Home(Evening)

I finally arrived home as my children welcomed me with different complaints because I left them with their father. My daughter didn't eat. I assume it is because she didn't see me or because the father could not feed her. She likes chewable foods like yam, potatoes and plantains. Since I had plantains at home, I peeled two of them and boiled them for her to eat before I went ahead to prepare dinner.

After our dinner, we spent a little time discussing before I began to write this post. In the midst of it, I paused for evening devotion, which my children continuously reminded me, *"mummy, we have not prayed." After that, I went back to completing the post.

Conclusion

How was your day, my friends? Was it fun or stressful?
