"Good morning sir "
Deborah greeted Mr Jude, the church youth pastor .
"Good morning Deborah "
How are you??
He replied with a smile
"Fine sir"
"I can see you are early to church today"
He looked at her with an intensity
that Deborah wasn't comfortable with.
Where is your aunt???? He asked Deborah looked around for her aunt from where she stood but couldn't see her. She must have gone to see the pastors wife,her bestfriend."Anyways"his voice broke her search" I have something to discuss with you"
"Where is it sir "
Deboarh asked suddenly feeling worried
"It's nothing to be bothered about dear"Deborah passed a relieved smile before the church choir started singing .
"Well church is starting now so let's go in"
Deborah nodded in agreement before going in with him. But not too oblivious to catch his darkened eyes roaming around her body.
That was weird
......
"Good morning church"
"The voice of the pastors voice on the mic sounded the huge church auditorium ".
"The message that is being brought to you today is about Faith."
"No matter how long we stay here we can't exhaust the teaching of Faith. In times like this we need to be reminded of God's love for us . It might not be easy to go through that hardship. But we need to be reminded that God is with us and wants is to acknowledge him.Let's look at people in the bible who had unwavering faith in God in times of Hardships and conquered" .....She lost her faith in him and still conquered ..
Didn't she ???...
Nothing he said intrigued her , it was her heart was locked . She only stared blankly at the robust preacher. Coming from the family of a rich missionary and successful Business woman. Schooling abroad, being loved and pampered by all how could he understand others lives. She was only a bench warmer. It was like all the memories of serving him were wipped. When she set her feet on the church floor she would always ask if he truly loved her ."Now I call on to you breathren to keep that Faith alive and remember he is always with you"
"Lets bow down our heart in prayer".....
"Heyy !!!! "How was service for you today , hope you enjoyed it"?? .
Nora asked catching up with Deborah' s long legs
Deborah looked at Nora , the one girl who managed to talk to Deborah almost every Sunday. Most of the teenage girls of the church either acts like she doesn't exist her or were to busy gossiping or looking at who wore the finest and most expensive dress . Deborah didn't bother about them cause she is used to being a loner and they would probably gossip about her when she turns her back.
Admiring the short brown Angel .
Deborah nodded with a small smile ."Thats good , I also enjoyed it anyways I have to go now. My mom would quarrel me If i don't go now".
"Byeee "
she waved with a large Smile before turning and leaving ."Deborah your aunt is looking for you"
"Ok miss Matilda "
