Day 1, Gratitude Challenge
 I am grateful to God for my very existence. My highly imaginative mind(another reason to be grateful) has thought of where I would have been and what I would have been up to if I wasn't born. I have even formed idealogies about where unborn babies lived and what they do while waiting their turn to born . First, I thought they lived with God in Heaven and had number tags on them so that when a woman was about to conceive, God  picked the the next on the number line and planted it in the woman's  womb and the others would cry because they would miss their little friend and that ironically the new next-on-the-number-line would be happy because it knew that any time soon, a couple would get married, have their first night and bam! it wud be its turn to visit the world it has heard so much about, have new parents less awe-inspiring than God and have a new home just for a change.
 But then, as I drew closer to God, I got to understand that He doesn't waste  His resources by creating what He doesn't yet need. So here goes my newest idealogy, which by the way has to be a little correct: there are no unborn babies in heaven or anywhere else in the universe. They don't even know that they don't exist or that they might exist someday or when they would exist. God is still in the creation business. He creates a new human every time a woman conceives. And that's how he created me.
  There were probably a thousand and one sperm cells at my creation but I swam(even though I cant swim now) the fastest of them all to win first place.Small and tiny as I was at that time, with no gills and no life jacket on, that was a pretty impressive feat.Imagine, if I wasnt born. I wouldn't even know there was something called life and what it felt like to be living.I would be nameless, faceless and 'identity-less'.I wouldn't have posted this. But I am here now and pursuing my dreams. I hope to be as fast now as I was then and catch up with my dreams. Thank you, Lord for creating me.
 Last time, I checked this was a gratitude challenge and not a final year long essay so in closing, I would like to nominate my friend, Obuh Stevyn, who overrates my linguistic proficiency and who I was chatting with at the time of writing this, my boss John Nasamu, for being the friendiest boss ever and my co-author-to-be, Eseimieghan ThankGodfor being more than just a business partner.
