*THE MEETING*
*Episode 28*
"You know we are one family"
That was the statement she could remember out of everything he said.
She became very angry at herself, after everything. She told Tara and within her, she knew it would end soon, because of the revelation God showed her and she encouraged herself by saying “Tolani, whatever would be for me, would not pass through the fence.
The revelation she got, strengthened even before the break up and she didnt cry. She was just pained because of everything that happened to her.
Their relationship was just an emotional relationship based on a crushing level. He had someone else in mind alongside with her, but he does not know who to go for. They fell in emotions, not in love but she thanked God they don't end up being together and she still respect him.
*SCHOOL*
300 level was the worst level ever as she had 4 Carry over.
"How am I going to cope" she said as she was crying.
"Why is it that, the higher I go, the higher the challenges" she said as she went home and was looking for what could aid her death.
"Where did i go wrong, because i read so much and prayed also? She said as she kept crying. She slept off while crying as she couldn't pray and she woke up with some words “The more the heights/ level, the more the challenges but don't be wearied, I have overcome”
She prayed for hours before coming out of the room, smiling as she was prepared to face whatever comes in. Tara kept looking at her and wondered the type of lady she was.
"If I am the one experiencing what you are facing, I would be depressed for months" Tara said frankly and she smiled.
Every day, she smiled to everyone but nobody knew what was going on in her life. She had nobody to talk too, except God.
*MONTHS LATER*
Tolani was appointed an excos for a new tenure. She found it hard to pray for weeks, all she could do was to listen to Apostle Selman messages. She tried forgetting the past but, it kept hunting her as she shed tears.
Family problems did not reduce as her parent experienced financial crisis. Thank God, David was through with school and Ibukun was through with secondary school. She and miracle, was the only one in school. Whenever she got home, her parents always had something to complain about, without knowing what was going on in her life and she could not tell them, knowing what they are capable of doing.
Tolani discovered her writing abilities; when she went for a program and there, she met a lot of people especially Pastor Iyin, though that wasnt her first time of meeting him.
Also, at the program she met Pastor Leke, who became her mentor after she opened up to him, about things that had been bothering her.
She gradually became friends with Pastor Dara for months, before he asked for a relationship. It took her 3 months before she answered because she was emotional unbalanced from her experience and she needed to pray about it. She also discussed with mentor, who asked her some questions. Alongside, she was reading books and praying.
She replied him on his birthday and they started their relationship journey together, with God by their sides. During the courtship period, she asked a lot of questions and they also, settled some things which was necessary and whenever she felt the need to ask questions, she asked because that was what the period was made for.
They shared books they could read together, they pray together and also drew some rules and regulation to abide with, which they have been doing. They understood each other, trust each other, never keep things from each other and shared the same vision. Though they still settle a lot of things… Hmmm, the rejected stone became the corner site. All she saw at first was pressure and not treasure. She discussed her past with him, without hiding anything. He respected her for she was a strong woman and her decision to move on in any situation or challenges. He also thanked her, for forgiving Pastor Michael as they both knew each other. He had invited him for a program in their church and, that was where she first saw him and she was blessed by his ministration.
"Hmmm, I hope Pastor Michael knows about their relationship” Omega asked.
"Of course, she told him and he was happy with her" Miss Abosede said.
“…. If not because Tolani was a strong and matured lady, only God knows the state she would be now" Emeka said and everyone could not stop laughing.
“Its okay ooo. You guys wont choke me with laughter. Judge nobody" She said as she continued.
She is a blogger and her write ups are on redemption on matters related to challenges.
Tolani wrote her carry over exams, as her church member was looking at her. She felt ashamed because she was an exco, and she was not laying any good example for them but she had put on some confidence.
After the exams, some of them came to ask why she had to write the exam again and she said to them "I was not given my score"
They were confused by her response but she ignored their look. Few weeks later, the results came out. It was Tara who helped her check her result as she could not check it herself anymore. She had Cs, B, Es and Ds. She couldnt say anything because; she was tired of crying and complaining, without anything getting changed. Her G.p kept reducing every semester and that bothered her.
While she was struggling with her challenges, some of the church members came to discuss their own challenges with her and she had to advise and pray with them
"Hmmm" Bola said
Stay with me as we journey together
