*PART ELEVEN*
Adura could not go to church after what happened. She didn't want people to start gossiping about her and to look at her in a bad way so, she started having her own service in the house. Even though, she missed the gathering of the saints and wished there was something she could do about it. Her mother was so happy that she finally agreed with her to stay at home.
Pastor Jimi didn't stop coming to their house to check up on her and also, to pray with them. He tried persuading her to come back to church but she refused. She would always tell him to allow her, think about everything.
They became so close that she hardly hide things from him. Also, she realised they are from the same hometown.
"Hmm...God, something is happening to me. Lord, help my emotions. It's as if I am beginning to fall in love with Pastor Jimi, which is not suppose to be. I now see him in my dreams lately Or God, are you leading him to me? No, this is infatuation. What am I thinking, love cannot set in now. I am still in the waiting period with my ailment. This can't be, I need to set boundaries physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually...No No, not spiritually but prayerfully" she thought as she was gesticulating, while sitting.
Abi what do you think my fellow readers???
Suddenly, she received a tap from her shoulder. She was frightened.
"Who is that? She sluggishly asked and turned back.
" ...Pastor Jimi, what a pleasant surprise. I didn't know you are coming today" she said and smiled faintly
"Eh.. Holy spirit, help me. What is happening? Is this a confirmation? No, this can't be. Someone that I was still thinking about, suddenly appeared. Oluwa gba mi(Jesus help me)" she was lost in thought until he tapped her again.
"Now, I know why you haven't been picking my calls and why you didn't notice when I entered. What are you thinking about? Do you want to share it? He asked
" Yes...No...I am sorry, I don't know. Also about what I was thinking, is it possible to......Never mind sir" she said as she looked away
"It's okay, if you don't want to share it now. Just be calm and know God is in control, it's going to be fine. Bro Matthew asked about your well being and also collected your number" He said
"Okay Sir, thank you sir" she replied
"Now, I have to be on my way. I actually come to visit some one down the street, and I called you severally but you didn't pick up. So, I decided to check up on you. My greetings to mummy" he said as he stood up and opened the door.
"Alright sir, thank you sir and take care of yourself sir" she said and closed the door.
"Oh...thank you Jesus" she said and stood against the door.
What is your advise to Sis Adura??? Let's drop our comment.

*PART TWELVE*
She stood up in the midnight and started praying "Take over Jesus. Take over my mind. Take over my life, Jesus....." She kept praying and she slept off while praying.
She woke up the next day by the sound of her alarm clock
"Thank you Jesus" she said as she stretched her hands. Then she worship, studied the word(Bible) and prayed. After everything, she picked her phone and stepped outside to greet her mother. She searched everywhere but, she couldn't find her. She was scared, as she ran back to the sitting room and found a note lying on the table.
It was from her mother, who had gone to deliver some snacks to her customers. It was then Adura realized the alarm clock woke her up by 10:00am
"Oh, no wonder" she said as her phone beeped. It was a message...
"Not again, what has he sent she said and read it out..
Pleasant morning to you sis Adura. While I was praying yesterday, I got a message concerning your health. The Lord said, He is going to encounter you soon and you shall stand as a witness to everyone who is going to pass through what you are experiencing. Though it might be an attack but He is telling you to wait because He is going to meet you in an unusual way. Do not be wearied, for the Lord is with you and you will surely overcome. God bless you!!!
"God, please forgive me. I don't know why my mind is so resentful towards him, that I have failed to recognise his position as my Pastor. God help me and set my heart right. Lord Jesus, teach me how to balance my emotions without being resentful.
Thank you Jesus for your word, and I pray that you reveal more to me" She knelt down and prayed because hatred had began to set in towards pastor Jimi.
When she was going to the kitchen, her phone rang and this time, it was bro Matthew.
"Bro Matthew, what a surprise. How are you doing sir" she said after he had introduced himself.
"Sis Adura..Yes o, I am doing fine and you? He asked
" I am doing well, thank God" she said, expecting him to say what he has to say because she has lots of work to do.
"Good to know! I called to ask how you are doing and to know if you are at home? He said and blushed
" Yes, I will surely be at home" she said
"Okay, I will come over in the afternoon and I hope I am welcomed? He asked
" Ooh, Yes" she said and they ended the call.
Hmm...Am sure you can't wait to know what next???
Just because you are not ready for a relationship and a guy image keep coming to your mind, doesn't mean you should be resentful towards him. Know what you want, set heart right and speak to your mind. In that way, you can stop it.
Part 13 will be posted tomorrow...
