*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
