We were not friends like that, I only just said hi to him once in a while…I had always avoided him because I didn’t want anyone preaching to me. He looked at me and smiled then said “You will forget your misery; it will be like water flowing away”
It was such an awkward moment but I said Amen and went inside to find my seat. I did my best in the exam hall and submitted my script with almost thirty minutes to spare. I just wanted to go back to our room so I could rest, my next exam was not till the next three days. Then I remembered the scripture from my dream so I asked around for a Bible and it wasn’t long before I got one.
I flipped through and when I found it
“For you would forget your trouble, As waters that have passed by, you would remember it.
Your life would be brighter than noonday; Darkness would be like the morning.
Then you would trust, because there is hope; And you would look around and rest securely…”
My spirit jumped inside of me and I remembered what “Bro Charles” said earlier…he said it casually and I thought he was just praying and being weird.I decided to stay and talk to him. I needed someone to help me figure this out. I ran after him the moment he stepped out and told him I needed to talk to him.
It was a long talk, it took over 3 hours…Bro Charles said the Spirit of God just told him to say those words to me and he didn’t know why either. I shared my dream with him and he interpreted it as redemption and restoration. He kept saying “God must really love you”Then he asked if I or anyone close to me lost a baby recently…so I shared my story. I also shared the event at the hospital and how I gave my life to Jesus.Instead of judging me, Bro Charles actually felt for me and encouraged me from the word of God. Things I had never heard before….promises of God’s goodness and faithfulness. I wept for the times I spent hating God for dealing my family bad cards in life.
That was the beginning of my rebirth journey…I will not go into details but my new found relationship with God and teachings from Bro Charles meant I could no longer date Captain…it was hard for him to let go but I told him I had become a new creature. He didn’t understand what I meant; he blamed it on trauma, from the loss of the baby.
It was a sad day…he cried, he begged…I cried too but it had to end. At a point, he promised to marry me if that was the issue. He would make it official so I wouldn’t see it as a sin. I advised him to forgive his wife and let God fix his marriage…he was a good man that got pushed into having an affair.
