Episode 26
"Okay...we are not mourning anyone right? Arinola asked as she paused to see their reaction
"Then, why are you guys not talking to me? Arinola asked as they got home
"Arin...I don't know what to say, even though we are happy for you and glad to have you as a family in the same kingdom but we wanted you to say something first" Ewa said as she looked at Funto who also nodded
"Okay, I understand you both but I don't want you to start looking at me as one saint. I am still Arinola, the friendly lady. Just that, the old things are passed away just like the Pastor who came to address us at the meeting said. Though, I know it's not going to be easy but I will learn" Arinola said as Ewa and Funto smiled
"So, sis Arinola... Tell us how it happened and how was it like? Funto asked as they sat upright
"Hmmm...seriously ladies, I don't know how or where to start from. I was pressing my phone and at a point, I just realized I had to focus then, I dropped my phone and I was focused right from the beginning to the end and when the Pastor was preaching, I had to fight back those tears in my eyes though, some of them still forced their way out but I couldn't help it.
Then, at that point where he made the altar call, I knew I needed to go out but I was fighting within me because I wasn't sure if I was ready to let go of my heart and focus on Jesus. I wasn't sure, I wasn't ready for it and everything but suddenly, I found myself walking to the altar and that was when, I had peace in my mind and right there, I know my time has come and Jesus finally held me close" she said as tears were dropping from her eyes
"Awwwn....it's fine Arinola" Ewa said as they moved closer to her
"I know you might not fully gasp what is going on yet but trust me, it's a gradual process. You just stay focused on God and see how He will turn your life around" Funto said as they hugged her
"You know my dad kept waiting for this day but unfortunately, he didn't and his death, really affected me. Even at the point of death, he never stopped praying for me.
I didn't know a day like this will come and I am still scared but thank you ladies for not giving up on me and always wanting the best for me. I love you both" Arinola said as tears dropped from her eyes
"We love you" they both said
"You see, you went to church with an agenda but God turned it all" Ewa said as they all laughed.
"Funto, thank you for coming to my church. Don't worry, I will visit yours soon" Ewa said
"You better do" Funto said as they all rejoiced
