When he realized he could not convince me, he thanked me for being such a good girl…he wanted me to keep the car but I couldn’t take it…I just couldn’t. He offered to continue the financial assistance even if we were no longer dating but I rejected it. I remember telling him “godliness with contentment is great gain”.
My faith also drove a wedge between Deola and me. As much as I wanted us to work things out and stay friends, (so I could show her the peace that I found in God) she couldn’t handle it. Things were not just the same anymore…we grew apart fast.
Besides, she graduated at the end of that semester and went for Youth Service. I moved out of her BQ because I could not afford to stay there and went back to the hostel. She didn’t reach out after she left; although I called her a couple of times…she later changed her number and I could no longer contact her.
My family knew something had happened between my beloved friend, Deola and me. My mum couldn’t understand how she left just like that and never looked back. I dared not tell them what really happened.
I introduced my family to Jesus…my mum had been attending a church but didn’t really have a relationship with God.
If only I had known this Jesus when my dad was alive, maybe things would have been different. I finally forgave my late dad the day Bro Charles taught about forgiveness at the fellowship.
