dear diary,
wonders they say shall never end..was
talking with some friends and churches and their styles and it refreshed
my memory on my experience at one of the famous and biggest churches in
Port Harcourt, Salvation Ministries. They had just concluded the 'five
nights of glory' which I attended through an invitation from a
colleague, and they were having a special section on Sunday, in this
section, our 'expectation forms' were to be brought and submitted,
hmmmmm....it was not a funny one as my friend who joined me from my own
church and I got to the church but could not get in because, the third
service was far gone and we were asked to wait for the 4th
service...deep breath! even in waiting, it wasn't a cozy, from the
squashing sun to the crowd and the hurting in my feet to the fact i got a
little tanned that day! finally, it was time to get in for the 4th
service and it was obviously meant to be a survival of the fittest...i
bet that folks got missing during services..lol...my friend and I
practically had to hold hands to avoid losing each other, yet we
eventually got to a stampede and there was serious chaos to get in,
members and guests and intending members in crowd were all struggling to
get in the main auditorium while the protocol officers did their own
jobs and tried to stop the pandemonium but the crowd seemed rather
uncontrollable and my friend fell, trying to protect my shoes which were
pulling off from a hit form behind, i also saw myself on the ground!
oops! now do not laff ooo...though i wasn't flat on the floor, i was
conscious of my beautiful barbie lady like outfit...i got up laffn and
not believing what had happened to me! finally, we grabbed a sit and
there came this 'usher' who couldn't be there to usher me in ooo who
started disturbing me to change my seat because my skirt was short! oh
yeah? my below the knee skirt even with a pair of panty socks to cover
my already long skirts? smh....i even agreed to follow her and get
another seat oo as i didn't want ant distraction from the praise, word
and man of God, that man is a gift! And so, this usher kept taking me
from one seat to another and no one wanted to change their seats for
reasons best known to them. but then, why blame them, they managed to
get a seat and you wanna move them? i raked oooo because it was
annoying, just then, someone who had it right showed up and rescued the
situation.....oh! wahala!
i finally prayed and submitted my
expectation form, only to return to my church, TRP, the rest place
church of God mission intl. and guess the breaking news???? hehehehe...i
could not contain it! just when i was planning to withdraw and do
things differently, i got an appointment in church! this people!
.....i know itchy ears....story continues
