Diary of a Pastor's Wife Part 13



I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my stomach was beginning to protrude, I rubbed my hands on it, and felt a tiny kick, there was deep joy in my heart, the one I had never felt before.


The news about David's separation from Ifeoma spread like a wildfire.

The night was still young, and I had just returned with a new Sim card. I wanted to change my life, change my world and rebrand it for the holy spirit to come dwell with us forever.

By this time, I had made up my mind to sign the divorce papers and move to America with the kids.

My stomach was protruding, and I didn't want anyone to see me, especially the church members of Hills ministries.

"I thought you said divorce is a sin?" Lizzy asked shrilly, looking aghast.

"I have gotten what I wanted."

"Don't say these things Ekom, You prayed for this moment, you fasted, wept to God. And now it is finally here, why do you want to just let it go all of a sudden?"

"let me be. Let's not talk about this please. " I said . Lizzy felt panic at the terse tone and clipped answers.

"Have you started processing visa for the kids for your trip?"

"Not a trip, I am relocating Lizzy. I am selling off this house."

"What? Ekom how can you do a thing like that?"

"I had made up my mind Before I brought this conversation up, I had made up my mind on selling the house, and relocating. nothing can change that."

Lizzy breathe an audible sigh of relieve and stood to leave as I heard the door bell ring.

"Are you expecting someone?" Lizzy asked.

"No, my sister went back to Ibadan yesterday."

Teye ran from inside to the door.

"mummy someone is at the door." my heart went down as I watched her place the stool by the door and climbed on it to reach the bolt.

"Aunty ifeoma!" she screamed. She walked in, looking pale and weak.

I stared at her in complete and utter disbelief.

"What are you doing in my house?"

She blanches her face, losing all it colors, and then snaps her gaze to Lizzy, and then Teye, who was already staring at her in amazement.

Tears poured down her face in an uncontrollable manner

"What is this? leave my house this minute, I don't like this drama." A scream erupts my throat.

She knelt down immediately and tried to hold my feet, but I stepped backward.

Lizzy and Teye were staring at me, looks of pure shock and amazement were plastered on their faces.

When I looked at her eyes, I saw pain and regret. I saw the life of a girl who was tired of living.

MY SPOUSE, WE NEED TO GROW UP...✍️

1. We need to grow up and stop this game of tit for tat. It is childish to revenge. 2. We need to grow up and stop this silent treatment that lasts for weeks. Grown ups don't behave like this. 3. We need to grow up and stop talking constanly about our problems and start focusing on solutions. Grown ups act. 4. We need to grow up and stop exposing our children to our drama and issues. We shouldn't act childish in their presence with disunity and attitude, they are under our care. 5. We need to grow up and learn that disagreeing doesn't mean we don't love each other. Grown ups learn to work through the differences. 6. We need to grow up and become accountable and responsible so there is no need to suspect each other. You don't need to police me, I don't need to police you. 7. We need to grow up and stop allowing our parents and friends from coming between us. This is our marriage, not theirs. 8. We need to grow up and stop shouting and provoking each o...

HOW A MAN CAN MAKE HIS WOMAN FEEL SEXY...

1. STARE AT HER WITH DESIRE A woman feels wanted most by how her man looks at her. Men are visually stimulated beings so she will look to see if your eyes tell her 'I want you.' 2. LET HER KNOW WHEN SHE TURNS YOU ON She feels good when she knows she arouses you. If you are near her and with a hard on or thinking about her when you two are apart and find life in your boxer too hard for comfort; let her know. She wants to know she has an effect on you; even after years together she wants to know she's still got it. 3. PRAISE HER BODY Speak it, let her hear you talk so good about her sex appeal. 4. NOTICE HER EFFORTS If she gets a new hair do, a new dress, if she works out; let her know you are paying attention. 5. PROTECT HER FROM HERSELF A woman can sleep feeling sexy then wake up doubting her sexiness. One negative comment from someone can easily make her question her appeal. She might look at herself and not like her body weight, size or shape and she lowers ho...

Everything In My Marriage Changed When I Got Pregnant

I turn twenty-seven this September, and I have been married for almost a year now. Before we got married, my husband was quite the doting partner. He was always in my space and just couldn’t get enough of me. That was one thing I loved about him. It made me feel like he needed me to function properly. That’s the pace our relationship grew at, until we got married. A few days after we got married, I found out that he was cheating on me while we were dating. He had even cheated two weeks before our wedding. I confronted him about it and he admitted it. “Yes, I cheated before we got married and I’m sorry for that. But I want you to know that I respect our marriage vows so I will not repeat that mistake. It ended when we got married, trust me on that.” It was difficult but I forgave him and we moved past it. Apart from that cheating thing, the few months of our marriage were good. We were always hot for each other. I felt that was going to continue for a long time. And then I g...
