The Twist

in The Ink Well9 months ago (edited)

I woke up this morning with a whole lot of excitement, it is Sunday and I'll be at the worship service at my new place of transfer.
I'd moved out out last week to a new place.
I made breakfast, took a shower,got dressed and headed to church.
I'd woken up quite early because I wanted to meet up with the service.


When I got to church i was led to the reserved seats.
The worship session in church was uplifting,my spirit was elevated and I could feel the presence of God radiating all around the room.
The praise session was a blast, I'd really taken my dancing shoes to church because I danced so much i had to catch my breath.


Finally it was time for the word and the pastor came up the pulpit to give the word,i was attracted to the charisma of the pastor.
He gave the message with clarity and of course souls were lifted during the message.
I decided that after the service i was going to meet with the pastor and tell him how much his message ministered to my heart.


As planned, I approached him and told him what i intended.
"It's the Lord who gives the grace", he replied humbly.
I went ahead with the conversation and finally i asked if I could go home with him.
He agreed, and later on he even took me out on a date that evening, just so you know, he's married, but who cares,i enjoyed myself to the fullest while anticipating our next date.


When it was time to go,he took me with him again to his house.
A child ran out and gave both of us a squeaky hug when we got home, she is his daughter, so adorable.
"Welcome dad, welcome mom"
She greeted with a on her face.
I gave a smile too.
She was calling me mom already


I have the most beautiful family, because why not?
I know you weren't expecting this but guess what? I'm the pastor's wife(smiles)
And today is our wedding anniversary that's why we went on a date.
And the adorable girl, she's our daughter.
And of course the transfer,we were transferred from the other church branch to this one.


I'm sure you started thinking too much.
Don't mind me,i love to tell stories with twists......

Beautiful. It's nice you love your new place of transfer having met with amazing souls that gave you the comfort and a sense of belonging.

It's all a story 😄
Thank you for reading through

I was torn between believinv this as a fiction or nonfiction. Surely you drew the reader in to be inquisitive of what happened eventually. Good script here

Thank you very much.
I'm glad you read through.

You're welcome

I was amazed at how fast the relationship blossomed. From Church to a date was really spontaneous. I definitely didn't see that end coming. Nice one!

😂😂
Thank you
