Light at the end of the tunnel
Olamide is a well grown lady,when she lost her dad at age 8,her mom decided to move to the village with her because she is the only child,she continued her education at the village,when it was time for her to gain admission Into the university she lost count of how many times she wrote jamb and couldn't gain admission. She would always cry and cry,and compare herself with her mate.
One day she was weeping inside the room when her mum came inside,she was even lost in thought,olamide my daughter why are you crying,what is the matter?? Mummy see what is happening to me,why won't I cry,all my mates have gained admission into the university but here I am still looking for admission,this is my 4th year,am so tired of all these,am really tired (still weeping). Darling you don't need to cry, crying won't solve all this problem, getting worried won't solve it either,it will only add to the problem on ground,my daughter please stop crying,you know after I lost your dad,you are the only one I have,you don't have any sibling, please stop crying God will do it at his own time,he will surely answer our prayers.
When mother,when will he answer us,when will he hear my cries,when will he wipe away my tears? When? Having long time hope will only make the heart weary and am getting weary already........ Please my child don't loose hope,focus on God ,I know we will surely testify,we will definitely cross this bridge,the shackles will be broken.
After that day they kept on praying to God that God will answer them,the fifth year came she couldn't gain admission,she decided not to cry again and just learn handwork,she decided not waste any time again,she thought to herself that if schooling doesn't work, handwork will. So finally she went to learn hairdressing,her boss loved her because she is responsible and respectful.she doesn't take anything that doesn't belong to her,she doesn't talk much,all she wants was to focus on her work and make sure she's good in it. Not quite long she started making hair for people at her boss shop, and still working on her school hoping she will gain admission one day and she's never going to give up.
On one faithful morning as she was about to get down from a taxi,she decided to pay the transport fare of a man in the taxi,before getting down the man gave her his card that she should call him because he has seen something about her,when she got home she narrated the story to her mum and her mother decided to call the pastor,the pastor gave them the direction to his church, they went there and the pastor told them that olamide has been kept in bondage for a long time and they will go on 10days fasting and prayer ,he told the mother that she will be the one to pray for her child for 10days and it will be vigil,so they did what the pastor said and the siege was broken.
Olamide gained admission that same year and also collected her hairdresser certificate to start her own work. That was how everything became normal for her and she blessed God for everything.
Never give up no matter what,there is light at the end of the tunnel,God will surely do it.
