Lucy tried to retrieve it but it was too late. The light white paper was soaked. Drawing it out of the pool only succeeded in dividing it into two. Every effort aimed at patching it only made it useless. Mary was inconsolable. Her friends were in deep shock. This wasn’t what they bargained for. All they wanted was to make her agree to come back to them, not this tragedy. Their plan was to return the script today because the papers will be marked before tomorrow. Now, how are they going to fix this?
After trying to comfort their friend to no avail, the girls gave up and went home guilt stricken. Mary was indoors for a whole week. Her friends didn’t know what step to take. They wrote her letters since she couldn’t pick their calls. Mary didn’t reply any of the letters.
When she returned back to school, she discovered that something had changed about her friends. They still had their guilty faces, bt they behaved nicely to everyone. Some where in Mary’s heart, she was glad about the change. She thought it would never be possible.
God revealed the purpose of the incident to Mary and healed her broken heart. On the eve of their graduation ceremony,she visited them individually to inform each girl of her forgiveness. She also told them about Jesus. Each girl paid full attention to her unlike other times. All were reconciled to God.
That night, Mary was swimming in the joy that only those who win souls know about. However, there was still a tinge of sadness that she wouldn’t be one of the graduates. But, it was only a tinge! It was nothing compared to the ecstatic feeling of having her four friends dining with Jesus. It was so unbelievable, yet so true. What will be their new name? The Jesus’ five? Lol…
The graduation ceremony was filled with mixed emotions… Tears flowed as the girls embraced one another. Mary gave each one a gift. The bible. Urging them to read it daily and do as it says.
As the girls were wrapped in a sweet embrace, my alarm beeped and I opened my eyes to find out that I had been dreaming. Oopps! Lol!! I guess the Lord is asking me to win a soul no matter who it is or what they have done to me.
