On the Road to Church Today

I haven’t been to church in a long while and sincerely I am not good on church lately because I have some doubt. Am a catholic but today I decided to go to Winners Chapel (Living Faith)  agbor,Delta state.

I wasn’t doing anything meaningful at home so I set out. I hurriedly took my bath,wore my ironed clothes  and sprayed my perfume..hmmm. What a nice fragrance?

So I came out of my crib went straight to get a bike. I stood at junction to take a bike ,after some minutes I saw a bike and I entered it.

We passed through the bad untiled  Road with dust everywhere along old-Lagos asaba road and our bike  break down suddenly. The back tyre fell and needed to be changed.

I got down from the bike for the tyre to be fixed, after that I enters the bike,unknown to us, a vehicle with speed nearly hit us, spreading dust on my white native…..kai…my anger triggered.

I was mad and angry. What is wrong with all these female drivers.

I wasn’t a church person, but this was clearly silly and senseless.

When I sited the car,I found out it was heading to winners chapel,my direction.
So I told the bike man to speed off. I told myself I will confront her when we come down from the bike.

When I got there I payed  the bike man. Went straight to where the car is parked.

I saw her inside the car, without wasting time, I started nagging and complaining to her face, but then the usher came to see what was going on.

What I saw shocked me. She  came down with the aid of a crutches.

“”I understood may be she was hurrying to get to church since she was on crutches riding the car””

Oops, I didn’t know.
How could I have missed that? God!!! I felt so terrible for nagging at her. I still feel terrible right now. I met her and apologized.

Again and again I apologized, but I still feel it wasn’t enough.

The pastor preached about angered  today, that made me more angry  but I didn’t get much from all he said.

I learnt a bigger life lesson: love all and be slow to judge anyone or any situation.

 

I will like to ask a simple question  for my fellow readers and viewers.
