"This Album is so very dear to my heart... it's a reminder of just how God has been faithful to his word in my life... how God has set me free... free from sin, he delivered me and I am so very grateful to share it with you all tonight." Kierra said preaching.
As Kierra sang free she started praising about how God set her free, free from sin, free from the spirit of homosexuality and she started speaking in tongues.
Everyone in the audience could tell that it was a very emotional moment for her and they were also caught in it, tears filled people's eyes along with Kierra... they lifted their hands thanking and worshipping God.
Mentally, you've captured me
In my mind
I am free
In my heart
If I am yours
I am freeMost of the songs she performed the night had her caught up, crying but that didn't stop her from sending her message out.
Flashback:
"Kierra that was the deal, it's either this or they tell your parents" she told me as I looked into her hurt eyes with tears in mine.
"I don't want you to go, what am I going to do without you?" I asked her as they fell.
"I don't care about my parents... I don't care if anyone finds out." Kierra said, she chuckled at my words... I did it now.
"Ki next thing you will say is that I ruined your life,I don't want you hating me like that... remember what happened when-" she started and I sighed.
"Fine, fine I know I know and I'm sorry... I apologised for that baby." I say to her as tears fell from my eyes.
One day after church , a member saw us kissing at the back and I was so scared when I caught their eyes that I slapped her on her face to make her look like she was forcing me.
I know , it's evil. But I am the pastor's daughter, I couldn't afford people knowing about us my father would have skinned me alive.
She held my face, and wiped the tears that fell and she kissed my forehead... so sweet, so so innocent.
"I love you Ki... I always will." she softly spoke .
I believed it with all of my heart, she did because I did too, our love was pure... freeing, but at the same time made us feel still in the midst of the chaos we were in.
"I love you too." I said to her,
"My parents only gave me 5 minutes, I'll come visit okay?" She says.
"I don't want you to leave" I tell her, but she avoided the cries instead...
She kissed me again and again and again, not wanting to let me go... not yet, and I didn't either. This was a goodbye.
After she let me go I watched her as she ran back wiping a tear from her eyes also.
My heart is broken, she is walking away from me, from us... and all I can do is watch her.
