Diary of a Pastor's Wife Part 14



It took me few minutes to compose myself and face her.

"What do you want from me Ifeoma? What else do you want?" I asked her meanly, while she looked at me with stoned expressionless face.

"I came here to clear my mind to you, to confess and seek for your forgiveness madam."
my heart was beating at a faster rate than ever.
"ghen, ghen! what more do you have to say? we all know you slept with pastor David."  Lizzy said and shook her head sympathetically.

"There is more."

"don't tell us you used juju or charms on pastor." Lizzy asked with her eyes wide open.

"tufiakwa, I am a christian, I can't do that."

"if I hear! you? hmmm. what you did to your madam is what a witch can do, it's same as using juju of course? talk please time is going."
Ifeoma looked at me, and then Lizzy.

"I was in love with Usman when I first came here. He loved me too. He even said he was going to marry me." She said stammering and trying to control the catarrh from running out of her nose.

"Who is Usman? this is the second time I am hearing that name." Lizzy asked with a worried face.

"David's Driver. David converted him from being a Muslim to a Christian, he was with us for 7years."  I replied with a serious face.
Lizzy shrugs.

"The night we made love, I was ovulating. I was sure. I was scared, but when I realized I was doing it for the man I loved, I took off my mind."

"wait a minute, you mean you and Usman made love in this compound?"  I asked, looking amazed.
She became silent for a while, and then spoke again.

"The first day Mama Georgina saw me, she advice me to seduce pastor, so that I can be pregnant for him, that you were barren. She was going to pay me a huge sum of money and then change pastor's mind towards you. I was desperately in need of money. My mother was dying of breast cancer. My salary was not enough."

I felt my eyebrows pull together in a frown  as she stared at me tearily and desperately.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me all what you were going through? I sent money to your family every month. even when I was in America, I never forgot. I would have created a sponsorship group to raise funds for your mother." 

Everywhere became calm.

"I am so sorry aunty. My baby died just this morning. I am happy he has gone to rest, he was usually very sick. I came here to clear my mind, so that I can live with a clear conscience. "

She said in tears, her frantic voice sounded far away. My eyelids flutter for a few moments before I forced them open, my eyes were filled with tears.

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...
