Are you ready? Or do you think you're ready?

Good day fellow steemians wherever you may be. This is no diary game or engagement task or anything but me sharing my view on an incident i encounter. I decided to share what ever am about to because I feel there are a lot out there like me.

Sunday night breaking Monday or can I just say Monday morning at about 3am, i woke up to the sound of car horn honking continuously without ceasing at this point am begining to think it was an alarm going off. Immediately i heard the sound I was up half asleep wondering why there was such a loud disturbing noise buy when I listened longer and found out it wasn't ending i got startled and jumped up from my bed scaring my sister who was fast asleep.

What am about to say sounds funny and ridiculous but it made too much sense to me 😅. I asked my sister if she heard the noise i was hearing and she said yes after saying no a couple of times. I left my room and began checking the other rooms to see if the rest of my family were still asleep with such a noise and yes they were. I rushed to the bathroom and washed my face and got back to my bed my heart beating like a drum. I was terrified because of what was going through my mind.

I remembered the way i felt and instantly hated it because this was the second time i was in such a feeling. To reveal why making a whole issue out a mere car alarm is the fact that upon hearing it i got scared thinking it was a call for christians to meet their savior. Yessss a very funny thought haha but that's how I felt and why i jumped up was that i realized it may be a call but I was still on earth, and i also went to check on my family members to see if they were gone and i was left alone. An event all we christians know to be RAPTURE!!!

It took me about 15 minutes to convince myself that it was nothing but an alarm and life was still going on. But it got me so sad because for a minute I had a feeling i was going to be among the ones left behind on that day.

I got mad that I had to be scared instead of happy that it was actually happening. I got mad because i felt this same way when almost half of the country posted Jesus on their statuses and i had no clue of what was going on and immediately thought it was the rapture. I started to evaluate the recent months of my life and found out i had been lukewarm this whole time and didn't even realize untill yesterday. I got so sad i wanted to cry and pray but at the same time felt guilty that i was only asking for forgiveness because i was scared to be in hell.

About 4 days ago I had some kind of accident on a road, while trying to cross a roundabout i fell and sustained serious injuries. Those who've live in Yaounde and Douala before can relate to how busy their main roads are but thank God no car or bike hit me and i only got bruises from the tar.

When I was describing the incident to the my friend @wase1234 she told me i had been given a second chance to live so i had to use it well. I laughed hard when she said that but it was only yesterday during my small incident that her words made sense to me. I ended up praying hard to drive that feeling.

so am asking because i also asked myself, Are you ready or do you think you're ready???because i thought I was untill the thought occured to me that I had actually been left behind.
