We are all going to be Alright

Coming back from a fun-filled weekend, I came back with so much enthusiasm only to be greeted by a heartbreaking news that left me speechless.

A close colleague of mine’s phone was stolen and the entire money in her account was wiped out, contained in that account was over 800k which is approximately $572, which included money for her business, clients money and her salary. Looking at the devastated young lady in front of me I couldn’t help but wonder how people got to the point where they could steal from other people, wipe people’s accounts, leave these people devastated and broken, and still walk freely, how can you still be happy that you have just pushed someone to their melting point?

Like where did some people’s conscience go to? How do they sleep at night knowing they have ruined a person's life? These and many more are the questions that ran through my mind when I saw my colleague crying like a baby today.

This colleague of mine is a steward in my firm and her pay is not so big, she’s currently the breadwinner of her family which was why she was so devasted when her account was compromised.

She had gone to the bank but they all said there was nothing they could do since her phone was stolen, we tried to track the phone, we tried various ways to get back the money but it all proved abortive and when you stay in a country where the system rarely works, you can’t help but endure.

I met my colleague in the office crying and people were consoling her. I am a strong believer that nothing is impossible, and my faith in God is so strong that I believe He always shows up, He is not too early or too late but always on time and I am of the opinion that no matter how bad things are, we all are going to be Alright.

You hold me Your arms
Until my storm is calm

I remembered the Lyrics of Ryan Ellis’ song Gonna Be Alright, as I knew the song by heart. I just knew God was cooking something for this young lady.

. Gonna Be Alright is a Christian song, it’s a song that reminds us of the faithfulness of God, it is a song that encourages us to hang in there for a little while, and such songs are my favorites.

I love songs that don’t leave me the same, I love songs that speak to my spirit and strike a chord in me and this is exactly what Gonna Be Alright does to me every time I listen to it.

For some reason the lyrics just kept coming out while I was sympathizing with her, I found myself believing every word the songwriter had penned down. Deep down in my heart, I knew that everything was going to be alright if not soon but eventually.

A few hours later people started donating, they weren’t cajoled or begged, they were doing it out of their free will and my colleague didn’t know if she was to cry or laugh. We saw God working behind the scenes as He turned things around.

Even though we might not raise up to the 800k she had lost we are going somewhere and that alone is progress.

I have been in certain situations where all hope was lost but listening to Gonna Be Alright always sparks something in me, it is not just a regular song, it is a song that keeps me positive and gives me strength and the courage to bounce back.

Truly everything is Gonna Be Alright
