“Father I’m confused. I don’t know what to do.” No response.
“ I know I messed up really bad then and I feel terrible about it but I’m so scared she’s going to hate me forever” no response.
“I’ve been making plans to go back home for a few months with my parents after my graduation to apologize to her in person, but she’s not schooling in Lagos; what if she decides not to come home when I’m around?” no response.
“God I know you are listening. I don’t want to go back if you’re not coming with me or giving me the go ahead. I need to know You are with me” this time she heard Him and felt His assurance
Daughter, I’m always with you.
She smiled, knowing she was on track. Things are going to be just fine in time, she believed that.
“Thanks so much. I needed to hear that”
She stood up and felt like taking a picture of herself there. She brought out her phone from her pocket and realized she had missed two calls, both from Debra and figured she must be home already. She took a picture of herself sitting down and another one at the edge of the tree and started walking back home. She was relieved and wore a smile on her face till she got back to the house.
