I threw my miserable self on the floor. God please come to
my rescue ooooo, please come. Ooooohhhhh Kukua, where have I gone wrong in this
life? What did I do? Somebody help meeeeee! I am tearing apart O God! I
screamed in pain. An hour later, Curtis stormed the house with body builders.
Kukua, give me the documents to this house. Not only that, I need your
university certificate as well and the key to your car. He instructed. I stood
up from the floor in tears and asked. Did Caleb tell you to come for them? I
don't need Caleb's permission before doing this. He is my brother and
everything that belongs to him as well belongs to me. Now, get in there and
give me what I have requested. He yelled. I hurriedly entered the bedroom and
brought them out. I handed them peacefully to him. Kukua, this house is no
longer yours, including everything in it. If you know what is good for you,
walk out of here this minute, before I order these men to do it with force. He
threatened. Caleb, can I at least pick my clothes? I asked. Nothing in this
house belongs to you Kukua, they belong to my brother. He responded. Curtis, I
want to pick my old clothes, the ones my mother bought for me before she died.
At least, that will console me. I pleaded. He walked me into the room and threw
my old clothes at me after I showed him where they were packed. I picked them
sadly, and quietly walked out of the house in tears. I stood at the entrance,
staring at the house. This is where Caleb confessed his love for me. We
promised to hold each other so tight, but unfortunately, he has let go of me.
Caleb, I promised you, and will never go back on my words. I pray you find out
the truth someday, whether I am dead or alive. Even if you don't come back for
me, I will die a peaceful and vindicated death. I soliloquised in tears. I
didn't know where else to go. I kept wondering on the streets with my polythene
bag. Tears was my principal food. Sorrow, was the rhythm of my heart. I wish I
could go back to Buohia, my hometown, to start life all over again, but
unfortunately, I didn't even have money for transportation. Mother where
are you? Tell my father to come to my rescue. I can't contain it anymore. The
tears are drowning me O mother. The pain is cutting down my throat. My parents,
please come and take me to the land of death, for life has rejected me. I
lamented on the floor, where I laid to spend the night. The next morning, I
thought of going to a nearby church to pray to God, maybe, he will listen to me
there. I walked in and knelt before the alter. God, my mother told me so many
good things about you before she died. Unfortunately, I have never come so
close to you. I always look at you from afar, because anytime I go to church,
the front seats are occupied by the rich. Today I am here before you, after all
the rich people have gone home, and I believe you can hear me loud and clear.
As you already know, I am an orphan, you took my parents away. I didn't give
up, but tried my best to survive, yet, I fail with every step I take. God, even
last night, I slept on the streets, does that mean you have nothing better for
me? If you don't, why don't you kill me? Kill me God, I want to join my
parents. I prayed sadly in tears. Immediately I finished and stood up to leave,
I saw someone standing behind me. Young lady, God has not forsaken you, his
time is not yet ripped for you. In every professional job, one needs some
experience, so, if you don't gain any experience in life, how do you expect to
be a professional to happiness? The man asked. I don't know what your problems
are, but I know, they are not too heavy for you, for it is written in 1
Corinthians 10:13 that "No temptation has taken you, except, what is
common to man. God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted above what
you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that
you, may be able to endure it." Listen to me my daughter, after a war,
lies success. After success, lies a testimony. Life is in stages, if you jump
over any, you will definitely come back to complete that part. Don't pray for
God to jump you over the stages, pray to him to give you enough strength to
complete each of the stage successfully. It is not about the quantity of tears
you have cried, it is about the lessons you have drawn from those tears. My
daughter, never pray for death, pray for life, so that, your enemies will see
you someday, and believe in the power of the God you serve. If you don't
stress, how do you rest? If you don't sow, how do you reap? If you don't
invest, how do you retrieve? If life is easy, God wouldn't be appreciated. Our
God does all these to glorify himself. He is God, and no one can challenge him.
His ways are just, and true. Remember, In the book of John 9:2-3, when the
disciples asked Jesus, Rabi who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was
born blind? Jesus answered them by saying "Neither this man nor his
parents sinned, but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in
his life" So you see, God is unquestionable. He does things to please
us, in other to glorify his works. My daughter, this door is always opened to
receive you. Worship with us anytime you want to. I am the head pastor of this
church. The man of God added. God bless you Pastor, my heart has found peace. I
responded. He quickly gave me 50cedis from his pocket to buy something for my
stomach. Take this money to buy food or water. You can as well come and sleep
in the old church building behind this one. We use it to accommodate the
homeless. He said. I walked out of the church premises in a revived spirit.
Where else Kukua? Where do I go from here? I thought
