my sister woke me up early on Sunday morning interfering with my sweet sleep. I knelt on my bed pretending to say my morning prayers in a bid to extend my sleep. She left me behind and went ahead to have her breakfast."Where is Toto?"I heard my mother ask in a strong voice as her heavy footsteps headed towards our bedroom. Thank God this was the last time we had a fight over waking up to go to church.
She grabbed me from my bed as i shouted a loud amen to prove that i was praying but obviously she could not buy that. It was my habit anyway. After i was prepared, my sister was given our offerings but on the way i demanded for my share. She gave me five shillings of which i i used two to buy sweets. I had never liked going to church, and i didn't like my pastor. He always gave bad examples with me and never gave me gifts like other children.
I sat next to a young lady.As soon as the teacher stood, i got out my sweets."No, don't take that, children who love Jesus don't eat in church, bring them child I'll give them back to you at the end." The lady said in a low voice.I Surrendered them,"but who is Jesus?"I wondered. Within an hour the lesson was over. She carried me outside and told me very sweetly about Jesus and that he would love me if i would stop lying and eating in church. I accepted and since then life has never been the same.
