MERCY

*EPISODE 21*

“Mercy ….. can you come downstairs before you miss the bus” her mother said calling her name from the sitting room

“Leave her…. if she miss the bus, she will have no choice than to stay here or wait for the next batch because I don’t know what’s wrong with her” her father said as they await her arrival in the sitting room

“I am sorry ma and sir” Mercy said as she drag out her box to the sitting room with so much joy as she got those butterfly feelings

“The last time we spoke, I thought you said you have your box all packed so, why the delay or you don’t want to go again? Her mother asked as she teased her

“Ehn, NO o… I want to go. I am sorry mom. I had a short night so I woke up late and I wanted to be sure, I didn’t forget anything”she said

“Did, I just hear short night. What have you been doing? Her father asked curiously

It was then, it occured to Mercy that she shouldn’t have said that…. “Well, I was praying sir” She lied actually. She was all night chatting with Tolulope and the girls

“Hmmm…. okay, that’s good let’s pray before stepping out” He said as they all joined hands and prayed. 

On their way to the garage, her father couldn’t help but gist about the deceit of guys during service. How some guys, came with mindset of sleeping around with ladies and to some, to find someone to get married to. He even went at length to share the shame of a married woman who slept around during his time

“Hmmm…. that’s quite much. I believe mine will be different” She said

“I hope so, just behave yourself” Her dad said as he find somewhere to pack in the garage

“Always remember what I told you darling” Her mother said as she got down, picked her box and board a bus going to Enugu State.

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..

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..

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...
