BRACE UP


Episode 6

“What...Bro Goke what are you doing here? And how do you know where I stay? Folake asked without letting him say a word.
“Were you following me? Why did you do this? She asked again.

“I wasn't following you, neither did I do anything wrong. Remember you left your home address in the form we asked you to fill. So, I decided to visit you” he said.

“Actually, we decided to visit you” sis Bolatito interrupted.

Folake still looking suprised asked “What is going on here?

“I thought you aren't coming anymore” bro Goke said facing bola.

“Yes..., No...well something happened but it is settled now” she replied smiling.

“Okay firstly, Sis folake we are sorry for the way we appeared but we usually visit every of our first timer after the service. I know it looks strange but this is one of our ways to show we love and care. I would appreciate it if you can welcome us in” bro Goke said.

“Ohhhh pardon my manners, you can come in” Folake said as she left the way.

“Thank you” they said as they entered. Folake led them to her room.

“What a nice and attractive room” bola said as she sat down.

“Thank you ma” Folake replied

“By the way, who is Dieko” bro Goke asked while Bolatito was looking left out.

Folake smiled and said “Goke is my friend and my flatmate. We have been together right from year 1 and her room is opposite mine”

“Oh, no wonder"...No wonder that what? Bola interrupted. You want to start teasing her again. Please, extend our greetings to her when she comes back. We are here for visitation.

“How is today service? I hope you were blessed? Bro Goke asked and “Is there anything you don't like and want to be corrected" Bolatito said.

She smiled and replied “No, not at all and I am so blessed. Thank you ma and sir”

“Its fine, you can call us by our names” Bolatito said.

“No ooo you are my oga's and I should not disrespect. I am sorry” Folake said.

“I understand but we insist” bro Goke said.

“Alright sis and bro” she said as they started laughing.

“Well, what level are you now? Bola asked

“I am in 500l, medical student and you? Folake said.

“Wow...we are in 600l, medical student too” bro Goke said.

“ Is it part A or part B” sis bola asked.

“Part A” Folake said.

“Oh that's good to know” sis Bolatito said.

“I am so sorry, I didn't ask what you want to eat or drink” Folake said.

“Oh no! Thank you but I have an appointment very soon and it's almost time, I want to leave now. I don't know about sis bola” bro Goke said.

“No, I also have somewhere to go now with Sis Ayanfe, we would discuss more later” sis bola said.

“I am so sorry, I couldn't entertain you both” she said.

“No, it's fine...welcoming us is more than the food and drinks. God bless you and let's pray" bro Goke said as they stood up to pray and left her house.

Episode 7

Folake and Dieko was in class receiving lecture when her phone beeped. She ignored the calls till the end of the lectures.

“Who was that calling you? Dieko asked.

“I don't know yet, let me check" she said as she checked her phone.
“Oh, it's pastor" she said

“You mean your pastor.... Pastor Adigun” Dieko said.

“Yes...let me call him back" Folake said.

" No ..no, don't call him now, this place is noisy. Wait till you get home" Dieko said.

" That's true... thank you" she said.


Getting home, Folake entered her room, dropped her bag and picked up her phone as she called Pastor Adigun.

" Good afternoon sir, I was in class when you called" she said.

" I thought as much. Are you back home now" he asked.

" Yes sir, I am back home" she replied.

"Okay..thank God and I hope it wasn't really stressful" he asked.

" No sir. It was just okay" she replied.

"Alright, no problem. I called because I want to discuss somethings with you" he said.

" I am with you sir" she said with a serious look as Dieko opened the door but Folake quickly signal to her that she is on a call. Dieko waved to her as she sat down and held her lips. Folake smiled.

" I had a revelation about some brethren in church and I would want you to listen to me. I saw fervent brother and sister moving out of the way of God. They are so eager about the things of the world and this call for spiritual awakening. Now that you are almost in all the department in church and you are working fervently for the expansion of the kingdom, I want you to know that devil will surely have his plans to distract and destroy God's plan but you need to be more sensitive, prayful and obedient. Most of all, you need to BRACE UP, there are forces against our soul and you need God more. Stay closer and be patient" Pastor Adigun said.

"Hmmm, thank you sir. God bless you sir" Folake said.

" It is well dear" he said as he hang up.

Dieko noticed the look on her face and she asked what happened?

" Nothing, I don't even understand. I just feel like he was talking to me" she said looking confused.

" It's going to be fine, we just need to keep praying and be aligned" Dieko said as she moved closer to her.

" God help me" Folake replied.

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
