My Story

...The water tank in our compound at home is mounted on a wooden stand, on one corner I placed a bar soap I was using to wash rather clean my slippers. After cleaning I went back to the house and continued with my usual evening chores. Later before it was dark I went to collect my slippers where I had placed them on top of the tank so that's they dry fast. The same corner of the wooden Stand I had placed the soap (but had already removed The soap) hadn't dried up well, so it was slippery. I convinced myself three times I would step and not slide, climbing up was easy but as I was getting back down(However the distance between the stand and the ground was not that long or rather big.. a very short distance). Little did I know that I assumed something that would cause harm to my legs... In less than a minute I slid, my left knee twisted and I was out of control and found myself lying flat on the ground... I tried to Stand but The pain was unexplainable because my leg couldn't move...The screams were countless 😔😔 How I was saved is a story for another day.
The above narrative is as a result of lack of anger management, I was going through a tough season over decisions made out of anger. The anger mountain or monster was building up in me day by day but I hadn't realized that it would cause problems until the above happened.
One would wonder how anger relates to the narrative but I was frustrated with someone who used to work for us as a caregiver and had started frustrating my parents to a point it got to me and I wasn't psychologically stable, such that my emotions controlled my mind.
Back to the narrative, at the time I assumed and stepped on the wooden stand corner which had soap jelly, thoughts that were running through my mind were evident in my actions and since that day I asked myself and I quote "yaani juu ya kukasirika I have a knee that can't be as normal again but can atleast do most of the things and I am grateful to God I can walk as normal".
To be honest that knee still reminds me to-date that I should control my anger at all times and remain calm until all cools down. Can I confess that emotional mind games  convinced me to lie of how I fell and twisted my knee, to everyone?🙆🙆 because I didn't want to share what I was going through then and I wasn't ready at all, till today! I am glad God has healed me of many things and allowed me to share this experience.
Do I regret what happened? Yes. But The greatest thing is that It was a good lesson to work on my anger and God has helped me, I am a working progress, so far so good.
