ADURAGBEMI


 *PART FOUR*

Adura and her mother were in the sitting room watching a movie when they suddenly heard a knock on the door. They looked at each other...

"Mummy, are you expecting anyone? She asked curiously

" No dear, what about you? Mother asked

"No mummy" she said and peeped through the window...."mummy, it's pastor and his wife" she whispered

"Ehn, quickly open the door and let them come in" mother said and sat upright.

"Welcome sir and ma" Both of them greeted

"God bless you" Pastor Gbolahan said and they sat down. Adura went inside to get drinks and snacks for them

"Help us manage it ma and sir"mother said

"Ohhh, thank you ma. Mummy Adura, you have stopped coming to church. As the assistant women leader, you have to be available in church. Hope no problem ma" Evang (Mrs) Gbolahan asked.

"Stopped coming! No mummy, it's not possible. I am sorry ma, I have been busy attending to something's lately. I would be available upper week because I won't be around for tomorrow's service" mother said

"I hope everything is going well? Evang, Mrs Gbolahan asked

" Yes ma" she replied and smiled falsely

"Okay...we actually came to discuss with Adura" Pastor Gbolahan said

"Adura! I hope no problem sir" mother asked suspiciously and looked at her. Adura also was surprised.

"Not at all. Is just that we observed that her testimony usually contain words of pain, though she speak with faith and that assures she is expecting something like a miracle. Sis Adura, what is it that you are expecting God to do? Can you share with us so that we can join you in prayers? Pastor asked facing her. She was about to answer when her mother slightly touched her.

" Thank you Pastor, I would like to answer that. Sir, you see there are sometimes someone will talk out of too much excitement, and it begin to sound like a pain to others. I think that's what happened to her. Thank you sir, for your observation and checking up. We really appreciate, God bless you sir" mother said. Pastor and his wife looked at Adura and she nodded slowly as she was disappointed.

"Wow...if that's the case. I pray you shall continue to experience Joy. Can we pray together" Pastor said.

After the prayers "Thank you, for welcoming us" Pastor said.

" Thank you for visiting" mother said and escorted them. Adura had turned to an angry lion, waiting for her mother to come.

"Mummy, why did you lie to pastor. A man of God ? She asked immediately she stepped inside the house.

"I know you will still have something to say, but i had to say that to save you from an unwanted and unexpected embarrassment. You should thank me for that" mother said

"Oh no mother! What have gone wrong? Ever since my ailment, you have changed a lot. Who knows if my healing would come through his prayers? What if God actually want to use him to heal me? What is wrong in letting my pastor know that, I have an unknown ailment similar to Epilepsy" she said angrily.

"I have told you severally, not to raise your voice at me again in your life. I am your mother, and I know what's best for you. More over, I have told you several times that you are not an epilepsy patient. Your ailment is not similar to it and I will go at any length for you not to disgrace yourself, most especially me" mother said angrily

"I am sorry mummy but am I truly a disgrace to you? Thank you for telling me, even after you made me lose my chance of healing. But one thing I know is that, I won't ever give up on myself. Even if I have to keep embracing and disgracing myself. By God's grace, I will survive" she said as she was crying.

"No, it's not what you think. You forced words out of me" mother said as she begged her.

Is there by any chance, you lost an opportunity for something you have always prayed for. Don't give up, keep praying and you shall surely be visited ...Amen

Part Five will be posted tomorrow.

Stay with me as we journey together.

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...
