>* Don't be afraid to share the gospel to people who are still living in sin. *****Two weeks later. Schools resumed back in session after the short three weeks break. And as it was resumption week, the school compound was filled with students embracing one another, while some were even crying... It was also noisy as some were happily sharing their holiday experience and travels. " Awn... You've put on a bit of weight, Mia! " Clover commented thoughtfully as she observed Mira from head to toe. " Really? I didn't do anything... Hahaha. " She smiled." Yep... " " I guess it's due to lack of stress that it seemed like I had gained weight. " " Maybe. " Clover just had to agree as Mia was indeed right." Um... " ****During the free period.Mia and Clover crossed paths with Sasha and her gang members. And when the duo thought they were just going to ignore them... They were completely surprised when the group greeted them with a smile not so bright though, but it was st
>* Love your neighbors ( fellow human beings ) as yourself. *****A fellow student, though one not recognizable by Mia and clover since there were lots of students in their school and of course they can't know everyone. The girl was being sandwiched between two guys as they harassed her. She tried her best to break free from them but couldn't.They had her mouth covered with a handkerchief so she wouldn't scream out and of course so no one would hear her. The only reason Mia and Clover were able to hear her scream for help was because the girl managed to bite one of them and was able to break free for a split second. The two boys who were actually students of their school though not ordinary ones as they were among the bad gangs whom no one cared to mess with. They also were not scared of anyone... Not even the teachers as they possessed some kind of secret powers as the rumors claimed. So even if it were a teacher that caught them harassing the girl... They would
>* Have faith in God. *****" Life never ceased to play cruel games with me. " Angel smiled bitterly as she slowly began to open up to the two girls. They were all cited on an iron chair beside the swimming pool in Mia's house on a Saturday as they conversed. " Um... And I know there are others that life was crueler to. " Mia said." You are right. " Angel smiled bitterly before continuing her story all the while feeling nostalgic. " My parents were both very loving and caring to me when I was younger. They provided for all my needs and were always supportive of me. They pushed me to strive harder and this led to me becoming a top student... I won many awards and even won a scholarship twice." " Wow. " Clover couldn't help but exclaim." Everything was going well as expected until... That dreadful night... " At this point, Angel was almost in tears as she recalled that painful night when she lost everything... Everything she ever owned and loved. " Our house caught fire
>* Never stop believing and trusting in the one true God. ***** # Breaking News. " Some unknown men barged into a girl's only school earlier and kidnapped 25 girls. The security officials in the state are still trying to track their location. Stay tuned to get more information on this... Thank you. " The Broadcaster announced.." Sweetheart, do you think there will be an end to this? Mia's mom asked her dad as they cuddled in the sitting room on a Tuesday evening." I believe so... " He sighed. " Am really scared, Sweetie. The country is no longer safe for us or our girls... Like the level of insecurity is really very high right now. "" I know... But we've got no reason to fear. Remember, Psalm 91 : 7&8 where it says, " Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. "" I know right... But this are also affecting christains too! In Fact they are mo
>* Everything happens for a reason. *********Months later. At the assembly hall that day, The principal of their school announced that they were going to be organizing extension classes for the final year students as their exams were fast approaching and they needed to be really prepared for it. The classes were to run through the one month holiday they had before their exams. So instead of them staying at home and playing around in the name of being on holidays they should rather come to school to learn as they would learn a lot than staying at home. The announcement ended with students having mixed thoughts.Most of them didn't want to attend the extension classes as they wanted to enjoy their holidays to the fullest.But they couldn't miss the classes as they've been tagged as compulsory by the school authorities.[ A/N : I can relate... Hahaha. ]****" What do you think about the extension classes, guys? " Angelina brought up the discussion during lunch time." We
21* Just keep believing! *****Inside the master's bedroom.Mia's mom... Mirabel Goodness was tossing and turning in her sleep.She kept on with this until she woke up with a loud scream which woke up her husband.Dave automatically switched on the bedside lamp when he heard his wife's cry.Seeing his wife's face filled with tears and looking super pale, his heart broke. He embraced her and tried comforting her, " Relax, Hon... Breathe. "After several minutes, Mirabel could finally calm down and began reconnecting her thoughts." So what was the dream about? " Dave inquired carefully when she had finally calmed down." I... " Mirabel stuttered as she found it hard to talk about the dream she had just had. " Take your time, Hon. " Dave handed her a glass of water. " Thanks. " She downed the water all in one go. " You welcome. " He smiled as he waited for her to open up. " In my dream... I saw lots of girls in a cage like place... Similar to a bird cage. "" Okay... "" The
>* You are beautiful and wonderfully made. *****Three months later. ----- Mia. ------It's been three whole month since the last kidnapping incident in my country and for some reason I felt very relieved. Those who were previously kidnapped had been rescued by the states authorities.It's been such a relief so far... The news of girls been kidnapped and violated always broke my heart and I am glad it has stopped. Though... In my heart, I felt a foreboding.. like something is wrong somewhere.I just couldn't place a finger on it but I felt that something was wrong... So wrong.Like what if this is what they call calm before the storm? What if?But well... I gotta keep believing in God! **** " Where would you be celebrating your eighteenth birthday, Sasha? " Clover inquired as we all sat around a table in the school's restaurant." Not sure... But I am planning to celebrate it in Germany after my exams. "" That's really cool. Though we'll really love to celebrate you
>* Don't lose hope. *****----- Mia ---- The next day, I was surprised to still meet Dad at home when I went downstairs... Not only was he still home, he was at the breakfast table... Ready to have breakfast with us..He was well dressed for work already though. " Come join us, Baby girl... " The smile on his face was very priceless and it literally brightened up my day. " Good morning, Dad. " I said walking towards him." Good morning, Angel. How was your night rest? "" It was cool. Yours? "" Perfect as usual. " He replied pulling out a chair for me.Soon... Mom arrived with a bowl of freshly sliced fruits. " Good morning, Mom. " I stood up to greet her. " How was your night, Sweetheart? " She smiled warmly. " It was okay.. and yours mom? "" Let me a secret. " She beckoned for me to come nearer and I did. " I slept like a baby. " She giggled. " Oh wow... That's nice. " I smiled still wondering why she decided to keep it a secret. " You two... I am still here. " Da
