The Agony of beauty...final episode::
They all cheered wildly as I went to the podium to receive an award for coming first both in my
Department and Faculty.
'Go Beauty! Go Beauty! ' Wuraola and Becky shouted continuously. They were all happy for me.
Tears of joy clouded my eyes as I received the award amidst applauds and loud cheers from the
crowd...
Five years later, I became a Chartered Accountant and also got married to Pastor's first son,
Joseph that same year. Joseph was the man of my dreams. Gentle, God fearing and kindhearted,
just like my Dad.
Our wedding was a glorious one. I remembered the dream I had the first night I spent in Jos, it
actually came to pass.
Now, I have a lovely husband, a happy home, a good job and I am blessed with beautiful children.
The Lord has indeed given me Beauty for Ashes, The Oil of Joy for Mourning and The Garment of
Praise for the spirit of Heaviness... I did not speak out on time but thank God I later did. God gave
me the courage and boldness I needed to SPEAK OUT the day I came across that scripture that
says: 'God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.'
Only God knows where I would be by now if I refused to Speak Out.
It really pays to serve Jesus!
THE END.
This story is dedicated to every woman and every girl child who at any point in their life was
sexually abused.
Thanks for reading.
