So I bought a couch recently and  when it got home I notice it had some faults. This was something I hadn’t noticed before I took it home and I was really disturbed by it’s appearance. I had a debate in my mind whether to go back to the carpenter who had sold the couch to me or to just leave it as it was. But one thing for sure each time I took a look at it I wasn’t satisfied at all.

Normally am surely this person who just let’s things go but this I had to speak up coz how was I going to live with something I didn’t like at all. I took a leap of faith hoping that the carpenter would not throw tantrums and refuse to come and fix it. On my way to his shop I was still split whether to go and tell him or just ignore it.  I made up my mind and decided what is the worst that could happen any way. I found one of his employees who  I explained to my situation and he was okay to send someone to come fix it, I took a sigh of relief.We set a day and time when he  would come to my house and fix.

A few days passed and each time he was to come he always made an excuse and kept giving me false promises but he wouldn’t show up. One thing I really hate is a person who lies and keeps taking you round in circles, can be really frustrating. Two weeks later they guy hadn’t showed up. I remember this one  Saturday evening I had enough of him I decided to go to his shop and I was not going to budge until he accompanied me to go and fix it. The owner of the shop was around this time and he gave me one of his employees to accompany me. Long story short the couch was fixed and am happy person now.

This reminded me of the story of the widow in the Bible who was persistently seeking justice from a judge until he gave in and granted her plea.

Each time I look at the couch it reminds me that sometimes it’s okay to speak up and not just ignore things when they are wrong, and be persistent.
