ADURAGBEMI


 *PART TWO*

"Adura! Adura!! Adura!!! How many times did I call you? Mother asked.

" Mummy, three times" she said

"Why are you disobeying me ehn? The bible says honour your father and mother. And one of the ways to honour is by obeying our instructions. You know how your father died and now that I am the only one left for you, why did you choose to disobey me? Mother said

" Mummy, I am not disobeying you. Dad died before he died because he has given up already but as for me, I shall not die but live. Mummy I believe it and I am holding unto it. The God that healed the woman with an issue(Matthew 9:20), would also heal me" she said

"I know my dear but for how long now. You are my only child and I don't want you to die. Have you forgotten you have been doing well all through the years you stayed at home but now, you think you are alright and can be going out abi. I won't allow it, I won't allow people mock you or me" mother said.

"Mummy, its fine. Staying at home won't solve anything. We just have to keep praying and beside, nothing happened in church yesterday. Maybe my healing has started who knows" she said

"What if something happened, do you think the so called church members won't run away from you. You know if they know about your ailment, most of them would not want to stay near you again and that's the truth" mother said

"Hmm but mummy, I think its high time I don't hide anymore. I don't want to live like an isolated being anymore. I want to live like every other being. I want to start going out and whatever happens, I accept it. Mummy please" she said and begged her.

"I know and you have really tried but you need to try harder. I know its not been easy for you, so also it is for me" mother said as she was crying.

"Mummy, please don't cry. Please let me start going out, I know one day, God will visit me" she said as she wiped her tears.

Dear reader, I hope you are not giving up on that which you want God to heal in your life?

 *PART THREE*

The next day, she decided to go to the market to help her mother get the things needed in the kitchen. Her mother begged and warned her not to go but she refused to listen. She was tired and sick of sitting at home.

Getting to the market, she bought everything and was very happy. She stopped a bike and as soon as she was about to climb the bike, it happened again. She fell down on the ground, shaking and pouring out saliva from her mouth for some minutes and then it stopped.

"Warapa(Epilepsy)!!! A woman screamed and the whole market scattered as people were running away from her. She was still in her unstable state when she heard a woman saying " Please, its not warapa(epilepsy)". Adura managed to stretch her head, so that she can get a view of the person. It was her mother, and she pulled her up.

She was happy she came to rescue her even though she wasn't expecting her.

"Can you see your life now? Don't go out, you will say I am wicked or I talk too much" mother said as they got home.

"I know mummy but you know we don't have to give up, I have to keep moving. All I have to say is thank you for coming to rescue me and mummy, how come you were in the market after sending me all you needed" she asked curiously.

"You should know I won't leave you alone, I have to secretly follow you because I perceived something might happen later" mother said

"Hmmm mummy, you think I don't know you. I know its because you don't trust me enough and not because you perceived anything. Well, I am glad you came" she said and hugged her.

"You know, I feel like slapping that woman when she shouted warapa (Epilepsy) as if she was there when it all started. If it's Epilepsy, won't you be vomiting whitish fluid but your case is different and I pray my God heal you. He shall bring you out of this bondage because I didn't give birth to you like this" mother said as she was crying.

"You see why, I am trying to stop you from dwelling much on this issue. It's because I know you will soon start crying. If you are crying, what do you want me to do" she said and wiped off her tears.

"Okay o, I won't cry again" mother said.

I pray God touch anything that is always causing you tears in Jesus Name...Amen

Part 4 will be posted tomorrow...

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...
