THE JOURNEY OF LIFE


 *SENT OUT* 


 *Episode 17* 


David became worst every day. Not only was he stealing, it was also mixed with discontentment. Mrs Alabi kept wondering where she had failed as a mother. 


"Is it not because of my children I am working, all I want is the best for them. I want them to look good and wear the best. I also pray for them" She said as she talked to herself. 


She wanted to pray but she couldn't, as she expressed herself in tears. Mrs Alabi always prays and anoints her children anytime they begin a new session. Also, when they are about to start their exams.


Opemipo and Tolani started chatting on 2go and Facebook. They knew virtually all about themselves, but Tolani never discussed about her family. Few weeks later, he wooed her. Tolani became scared and wished he never wooed her; she loved him as a friend. 


"I cannot believe he could say that, I don't want a relationship and I am not ready for one" Tolani said as she was discussing with Rebecca.


"Don't you know, this is where your friendship with him was leading to? Who knows if marriage would enter too" Rebecca said as she was smiling.


"Marriage ko, bondage ni. Please don't even go there; you should know marriage is out of my plans. Who would want to marry, seeing the definition of love and marriage my parents showed. Thank God you know everything" Tolani said. 


"Tolani, don't let your background or your parents lifestyle change your mentality about love and you. I want you to rethink, and erase every false mentality" Rebecca said.


"Hmmm, its not easy. I have tried to change, but I don't just understand. I am in pain and I hate myself now" Tolani replied as she was weeping. Rebecca drew her closer, wiped her tears and told her not to rush.


"Don't do anything out of your will. Work on yourself first" She said.  


Mr and Mrs Alabi arrived early from work, because of the atrocities David committed.


"Tell your useless son to get out of my house. I have made my final decision and if you are not careful, you will follow him" Mr Alabi said


"Please don't send him out, it will only get worst" Mrs Alabi begged. While she was still begging, Tolani ran to the sitting room, shouting mummy!     

            

Everything kept falling apart, as Mr and Mrs Alabi home was gradually losing the love, peace and Joy. The atmosphere of their house became hot due to anger and pains.


Tolani shouted Mummy! As she thought of a way, to stop her from begging the man who she called her husband. Only if, she could see the beast in him. She ran back to her room to get her mother's attention. Mrs Alabi followed her and she met her on the floor crying, she couldn't help but to start crying too.


"Mummy, does daddy have to send David out of the house" Tolani said as she continued 


"He is only making matter worst. Is that even a way of training a child, by letting him go. Mummy, I am not proud to be part of this family and I hate daddy. Do you even know how I struggle.....” She gasped for air and let the tears flow down as she continued “I cannot continue anymore She said as her mum could not stop crying


"Dearie, you don't have to think this way. I know everything would be fine" Mrs Alabi said and was marveled at the words Tolani said. She left her room, as those words really touched her. 


Miss Abosede paused as some of her students were weeping especially Kikelomo. Miss Abosede, could not help as her tears were flowing down. She wiped her tears and told them to stop weeping as she continued. 


There was less communication in the house. Everyone had somethings to say but they could not talk, because they don't know who would be sent out next.


David always stays at home, during the day because Mr Alabi would be in the office but at night, he moved to the uncompleted flat. Even though he doesn't sleep inside the house, they all slept under the same roof and it was only Mrs Alabi and the children that knew about it. 


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...
