"Adebimpe...I can't do it anymore. I am tired, I don't know what I have gotten myself into. I got carried away and now I have to bear whatever comes after it" Adebola said.
"Adebola...can you explain yourself well so that I can fully understand you because I do not know what you are talking about" Adebimpe said
"I also don't know how to say it. I am even ashamed of myself and I am about to break the trust of those who trusted me. I think I shouldn't bother you with my problem" Adebola said.
"Bola, it's fine and i am not complaining. So speak up, I am available to listen to everything" Bimpe said
"Thank you sis. You might not like what I am about to say because you have warned me about it but I didn't listen. I got carried away by those honour and names. I was blind folded by my feelings. The butterfly feelings and my actions were based on it" Adebola said.
"Hmmm...go on, am still with you" Adebimpe said
"Bimpe, after our last discussion on mentorship. I still went ahead to accept those who wanted me to mentor them. I thought I could do it since I had some understanding about it. I thought since they called me different names...mama, mummy, etc. I can as well be their mentor. I didn't know it was going to be a lot of work. I didn't even get to pray about it because I thought I was fit for it and also have the capacity for it but I was wrong.
Here I am, I am crushed. I don't even have time for myself because I always want to meet up. I am frustrated, angry and emotional weak. It wasn't as easy as I thought it will be and I am about to tell them I am not interested in mentoring but I am scared because they might think I am unfit and it would reduce my followers" Adebola said as she was weeping.
"Hmmm...butterfly feelings. Can you see where it has gotten you to?
Now, the feelings isn't there anymore and you are left with the reality of things. So, you know how it looks like now. Only if you hadn't followed your feelings but listened to me" Adebimpe said as she could understand her pain
To my dear sister,
I know you are swayful and you have lots of followers around you but don't be too quick to make decision based on that.
You might be called several names by several people and it's based on how they see you but you know, you don't have to be carried away by the names. Genuinely appreciate and love them.
Then, if you think you can mentor some of them make sure you have the leading concerning that and you are also prepared for it. Don't think you are fit to mentor them based on the respect they have for you by honouring you with respectable names.
Also, don't force anyone to be under your mentorship. Let it be done with wisdom and understanding.
If you think you have the capacity for it, it's fine but make sure you have a leading before embarking on the journey and it should not be done by mere feelings
I pray God help us in Jesus name.. Amen
