My God When - S01 E33

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 33

“Damilola, I want to see you urgently. Come to my orphanage home”. The message read.

The message was actually from Emmanuel. I managed to smile.

“Why will he want to want to see me after all he said to me that day?” I asked no one in particular.

I sent a message to him asking why he wanted to see me. I also made him to understand that he once asked me not to ever come to the orphanage home again.

“Damilola, I am begging you in the name of God, come over to the orphanage home. It’s urgent”. He replied through a text message.

After two hours, I decided to go to the orphanage home.

Immediately those children saw me, they began to shout for joy. The way they were jubilating made him to know that I was around. He came out of his office and came to where the children were.

As they were shouting for joy, I hugged each of them. They were soo happy.

“Aunty, why didn’t you come to visit us for some months now? Aunty, I have missed you oo…”

“Aunty we missed you too” All of them choroused.

“Please, can we go to my office?” Emmanuel asked.

I followed him to his office. Instead of me to take my seat, I stood up staring at his table, avoiding eye contact with him.

He asked me to take my seat which I did while I tried my best to avoid his eyes.

“When did you become shy all of a sudden?” He finally found his voice.

“Damilola, I’m so sorry for the words that came out of my mouth some months ago. I know you were pained. I have not been myself ever since we departed that day.

I tried dating a lady after we broke up. The lady was such an attractive lady. I loved her but she was only after my money.

I tried educating her on what purpose is but she got angry along the line. Since that day, she started showing her true colour to me. She started misbehaving.

I couldn’t bear it, I broke up with her. Besides, the children weren’t comfortable with her. Whenever she pays the orphanage home a visit, she do beat and insult the children.

There was a day I met a child weeping. I hate to see them cry. I moved close to her and asked what the matter was. She told me the lady called her a bastard and an unfortunate child. Aside from that, the child told me that the lady slapped her. That alone made me furious. I called her to come and apologize to the young girl but she did not do what I asked her to do.

We finally broke up. The children never made me rest. They were always asking after you.

I tried to move on by forgetting you but , it was so hard for me to erase your love in my heart. I later got to know that you’re a rare woman. A very rare gem. You are a godly woman, purpose driven, accommodating, understanding and caring woman. I was scared I am going to lose you and that was why I told you it was urgent. I hope you are not yet engaged to anyone?” He asked.

” I am engaged to someone oooo, Mr. Emmanuel.”I replied.

“Ahhhh, I was too slack. I have missed it. Why did I leave you?” He said.

It was as if he was going to shed tears. He put his head on his table, regretting why he left me.

Ladies, build yourself. Build capacity. Be that rare gem. Be that purposeful lady.

” Emmanuel, I’m engaged to Jesus Christ since He was my first husband that never left me or let me down when many people failed me.” I said.

“You mean you have no man in your life, Dami?” He asked.

“Yes!” I replied.

He stood up, and danced to an imaginary music. I was just smiling.

When he was done dancing, he asked if I was going to marry him.

I didn’t give him a “yes”or “no”.

“Emmanuel, remember you once called me an empty barrel. Can you still marry that empty barrel?” I asked.

“Yes!!!!! Damilola, I am ready to marry you just as you are. I will marry you even if we can’t have biological children. So, Dami, I don’t want another person to snatch you from my hands. Will you marry me?” He asked.

“Yes, I will marry you”. I replied.

After the necessary steps were taken, our wedding date was fixed.

How time flyed was a mystery to me.

**********

It was such a glorious day. Many people gave their lives to Christ on our wedding day.

Who would ever believe that Damilola could ever get married despite what she had been through?

When I thought God was silent about my case, that was when He was working things out for me.

My parents were full of joy. My dad was so proud of me. Remember I once told you that he disowned me.

On our wedding night, it was superb. I wrote child bearing off. So, we just had fun on our wedding night.

After 2 months, I noticed I didn’t see my period. I thought it was due to hormonal imbalance.

Three months after our wedding ceremony, I felt sick. I was rushed to the hospital.

When they carried out test on me, they found out that I was pregnant.

I told them to do the test again. They did it and I was confirmed to be pregnant. My husband told them to conduct the test again, it was still the same.

Our joy knew no bound when it became so real that I was pregnant.

Nine month journey came to an end.

I gave birth to triplet. How I got that womb that made me birth those triplet is still a mystery because the doctor said I had a womb. So, it wasn’t as if I gave birth to the children without womb.

Well, what God cannot do does not exist.

I became a mother of three beautiful kids.

He blessed me the best husband in the world. My husband really cherished me. He stood by me. Our orphanage home progressed. Our lives were transformed. Indeed marriage is sweet when you marry the right man.

I don’t know what you are passing through right now dear reader. I don’t know what you’ve been asking God for sometimes. I don’t know what has been making you to utter “My God, when?”

I pray the Almighty God that I serve will give answers to your prayers just as He did in the life of Hannah. He heard her deepest cries. May He give ears to your prayers and answer them. Amen.

May God answer all your prayers. May He grant you all your good heart desires.

I want you to know that God can transform you life irrespective of your past. Something good can still come out of you. Yes, your life is still beautiful. As long as you are alive, there is still hope for you.

Remember, broken crayons can still colour. You can still be great. You can still make it in life. Just move beyond your past. Move on in life. Learn from your past and move on. Yes, don’t live in your past forever. Don’t remain there. Move on because something great awaits you.

Also, remember, no one has ever received an award for marrying early in life. No one has ever been awarded for marrying late but, if you marry the wrong man in life, be ready to bear the consequences.

So, please, don’t rush into marriage. Darasimi married the wrong man and she suffered for it a lot. She is yet to be married after the death of Daniel.

Also, be closer to God. Let Him be your guide. He is your maker. Let Him have His way in your life. Know your purpose in life. Know who you are so that you won’t be an unfruitful fellow.

Also, see your present challenges as stepping stones for greatness. Don’t quit dear friend. Don’t commit suicide. Don’t forsake God even when it seems as if He has forgotten you. When you think God has forgotten you, I want you to know that you may think He is silent but, He is surely working on your case. You are not forgotten. One day, you’ll

give glory to God.

When Lazarus was four days gone in the Bible, many people thought he was gone forever. Many people never believed he could rise up again. All hope was gone. When many people thought it was over, God made them to understand that it wasn’t over. God came through for him. He rose him up at the appointed time.

Dear, you may be delayed. I want you to know that your delay is not denial. God still has a plan for you. Whatsoever He has said concerning your life, your academics, your marriage, shall definitely come to past in His appointed time.

Yes, God is going to make all things beautiful in your life at the appointed time. Just trust God’s perfect timing. Trust the process.

The fact that others are achieving this or that does not mean something is wrong with you.

The fact that your mates are getting married while you are yet to marry doesn’t mean you have badluck. That’s their time. Celebrate with them because your own time is coming and many will celebrate with you. You are different from others I want you to know that.

Above all, don’t forsake God. If you leave God, be rest assured to be governed by the devil. And what he loves doing is to kill, steal and destroy your life. Don’t leave God’s presence if you don’t want to be miserable.

THE END.
