> * Hang in there. God's gonna make you feel better. * **** ------- Mira. ------- † I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low? Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know. † I decided to take a short noon break, before moving on with my daily activities. I'd just turned on my music app when my favorite christian song, “ You say ” by Lauren Daigle started playing. The song meant a lot to me, as it had gotten me through some of my weakest and toughest times. Mixed with meditation, it worked like magic in renewing my self confidence. “ Ooh oh. You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing You say I am strong when I think I am weak And You say I am held when I am falling short And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours And I believe, (I) oh I believe (I) What You say of me (I) I believe. ” I sang the lyrics along with the

> * It's hard nowadays to see someone pursue their dreams and attain them. * **** ------ Joseph. ------- After making all the preparations, I went over to Nanny's room to ask for her permission. On getting there, I saw that she was now reading another book. I wasn't surprised, knowing how much of a fast reader she was. Besides, she was almost done with the atonement child when I walked in earlier. Her current book was titled, a vessel of honor. Written by a renowned christian writer, Rebecca Brown. A devoted christian who was willing to go through hell for the kingdom's sake. Her story had never ceased to amaze me, as not everyone who calls himself a christian is willing to go through that much for the kingdom. Most prefer pleasure to actually doing the things of the kingdom and it's really saddening. “ What's up? ” Nanny said, without even looking up at me. Her eyes were completely glued to the pages of the book, so much that she didn't bother looking at me. I was used

> * Life will offer you so many wonderful things and some trials and tribulations. * **** ------ Mira. ------ The atmosphere at the beach was very cool and serene, exactly the way I love it. Staring at the vast sea before me, I found myself recalling a scene from the christian movie, Breakthrough that I'd watched recently. The male lead and his friends were doing some practice on the iced sea. when all of a sudden the ice collapsed and they ended up falling into it. While his other two friends managed to stay afloat till help arrived, he wasn't so lucky as he fell deep into the icy cold sea. He was rescued later on by the rescue team. but it was almost too late by then. He was already unconscious by the time he was brought out and in a very critical state. In the operating room, the doctors tried all they could to revive him but failed, as he had no pulse. While the others lost hope, his adoptive mother Joyce didn't. She did what she knew how to do best, Praying. And

> * Some people live out their dreams while others wake up from it. * **** * Happy 50 chapters, readers! * ------ Author's POV ------ With Mira laying on Joseph, the two gazed deeply into each other's eyes. Though they try as much as possible to hide it. but at that moment, they couldn't deny the attraction they felt towards each other. Their relationship had gotten to a stage where they didn't even need to say anything to each other as their eyes said it all. Though they still tried to hide it. Why? Because they feared this new attraction might put their friendship in jeopardy. One thing they couldn't deny though, is that their simple friendship was turning into something deeper and that scares them a whole lot. Clearing his throat, Joseph spoke up while still staring Into Mira's hazel colored eyes. “ I don't find other girls attractive as I suddenly realize that my best friend is more beautiful than all the others. ” “ Ah! Isn't Vera the Queen Bee? You had eve

> * If you want to enjoy life, learn to live in balance, work, worship, pray and rest. All work, with nothing else produces a person who lives a complicated, complex and joyless life. * **** Joseph and Miranda sat by side on a wooden bench with metal art forging, in the busy children amusement park. The environment was hustling and bustling with children running around happily and their parents making sure they were alright. Despite the less serene environment, the latter still felt comfortable and nostalgic as they thought about their own childhood, which they could tag as the good old days. Things were ever so simple and peaceful then. Being so young and less knowledgeable about the real world, they always had reasons to be happy and smile as they weren't burdened with so many responsibilities and knowledge. It's no wonder it's been said that childhood is one of the best times of a child's life. That's absolutely true as kids don't have much to worry about, unlike th

> * We can be changed as we worship and behold God, and not as we look at ourselves, adding up our many flaws. * **** — Author's Pov — Joseph had always tried to keep the incidents of their childhood and the past to himself, as they made them feel nostalgic. But now that they were already dwelling on it. He felt it was pointless of him trying to hide the truth. “ Mira. ” “ Yeah. ” She replied without raising her head from his shoulders. “ Do you remember, Breakthrough amusement park? ” The name of that particular amusement park caught her attention and she became ever curious about it. “ I do. What's up with it? ” “ Do you remember going there as a child? ” Joseph treaded carefully. “ Of course I do. My parents and I made it a Saturday ritual to go to the amusement park so it became a habit. ” “ Okay. Do you recall the day pandemonium broke out and all the kids were told to hide? ” “ Yeah. The day is one I will never forget given how scared and frightened I was.

> * Some things should just be left in the past because it's already history. * **** ------ Mira. ----- The revelation left me stunned and full with wonder. I still found it difficult to comprehend that my childhood friend and my best friend are the same person. Like how much of a coincidence it really is. Or maybe it isn't really, because growing up I'd always preferred having make friends than females, partly because as an only child, I'd always craved having a male elder sibling, but never got. I'd never desired a female sibling, as I heard from those who have how tasking and tiring it can be. As petty fights and arguments become the order of the day. Secondly, I'd always noticed my difference and uniqueness from a very young age and realized that I'd never truly been able to blend properly with fellow females, this was until I met Evelyn who changed the narrative. Perhaps this is why I'm less affected hearing them gossip behind me. I was different, so of course being

> * Some people can brighten up your day without having to do anything at all. * **** — Author's Pov — “ What are you thinking so deeply about, Miranda? ” Joseph inquired, interrupting her thoughts. “ I wonder how things would have turned out if you never left when we were younger. ” “ Well, I can't say for sure. Perhaps, we would have been able to grow up together and possibly become more closer than this. And maybe, Mom and Dad wouldn't have gotten divorced and our education wouldn't have been delayed. ” “ Hm. In Spite of all that has happened, I deeply believe that everything that happened to us happened for a good reason. It’s probably part of the greater picture. ” “ Maybe. ” “ Though I still wish, we didn't have to go through all we did. ” “ Same here. ” “ Life can be really unpredictable and we find ourselves asking why. But life wouldn't be so fun if we got everything we wanted every time. It would have been less adventurous if we didn't have to go through s
