AN EMOTIONAL AFFAIR - PART EIGHT
As was their weekly custom, Bolu and Lola attended Church together on this first Sunday of April. They sat in their usual seats, and greeted their regular neighbours. Pastor Kunle Ogunbanjo preached about the Cross of the Disciple, following on from last week's Easter theme. It was a powerful sermon that reminded the congregation of how they ought to follow in Jesus's example, by laying down their lives in love and submission to one another.
Bolu was struck with the lesson that Christ would never leave us to bear our crosses alone...that as long as we were willing to carry our cross, He will be right there to hold up the other end. He was encouraged to learn that he was not called to bear an impossible burden, but he was to share in the sufferings of His Lord, and thereby learn the power of love. Pastor Kunle concluded that when we have the right attitude to the Cross, when we do not carry it in our own strength, but trust in God, we will understand why Jesus said that His burden is light and His yoke is easy.
After the service, Bolu and Lola lingered to greet the Pastor... Read more at https://blog.ufuomaee.org/an-emotional-affair-part-eight/

I've always said I didn't have a #favourite #story I've #written. It's not exactly truthful. It was hard to believe or accept, because I #love all my stories, the way one loves all their babies. But whenever someone would ask me which was my favourite, #AnEmotionalAffair would come to mind.
I promote #TheChurchGirl the most because I think it has the greatest appeal. It's a volumunous story with so many amazing lessons, and it's #relevant to the #married and #singles too. It was also the first #storyseries I ever wrote, and the first #book I published.
But here's why if I had to choose, An Emotional Affair trumps...
.
1. An Emotional Affair was the first ever story that I wrote from real experience and pain, about an issue that affects a lot of #marriages. I tapped a lot into my feelings while #writing the story.
2. For that reason alone, it was the easiest to #write by a mile! At least, the first volume... The story poured out of me, as I #wrote an episode a day.
3. It was also the first story I wrote and #experiencedGod's leading strongly. Yes, I experienced it while writing the original The Church Girl and all the following versions, but God actually woke me up to write Volume Two of An Emotional Affair, when I took a break from the story, being without #inspiration.
4. It was also the first BOOK I completed! After I completed An Emotional Affair, I returned to write The Extended Version of The Church Girl, feeling more competent.
5. I had soooo much fun writing this story and living through my characters. As I am #reading it through, I can't stop laughing at Danny... Especially now I know who he has become and what #God did in his life! It's the story of all of us, before we are #saved.
So, if you haven't read An Emotional Affair yet, I reckon you really should. The #ebook is discounted all December to N500, only @okadabooks. You can also register on #UfuomaeesSeriesBlog to read the story #free, as I republish an episode a day.

.
It was a full house at Mr and Mrs Ifeanyi Chukweke’s home. Daniel, Samson and Sunday, Mary’s brothers, were all home for the Summer Break. Thankfully, the house was big enough to accommodate them all. However, for their trip to Church that morning, they needed two cars. Mary decided she would let the twins fight over who would drive her car, while she rode with Ifeanyi and the kids, as usual.
The twins, Samson and Sunday, both had one year left of their four year Engineering courses at the University of Lagos. Daniel would be commencing his final level of Senior Secondary school, SS3, in September, and his grades were showing remarkable improvement. He had aspirations of becoming a Pharmacist or Biochemist. Ifeanyi and Mary had discussed sending him abroad to one of the top ranking universities, if he continued to perform well. That had inspired him to no end.
Even though they now stayed far away at Victoria Garden City, in Lekki, Mary and Ifeanyi still faithfully attended their fellowship at Grace and Truth Assembly, in Ikoyi. Today was supposed to be their Thanksgiving service, but the Pastor had followed God’s inspiration to do an altar call…

AN EMOTIONAL AFFAIR - PART SEVEN
Bimbo Adetayo stayed up to wait for her son to return from his work. Lola had prepared the spare room for her mother-in-law before going to bed at 10pm. She'd packed up the food and kept Bolu's in the microwave.
Bolu came home to find his mother snoring on the sofa. He had seen Lola's message about his mother's arrival, which indicated the actual time that Lola would have gotten home. The previous night, he had called his mother back to tell her to come as soon as she was able, and when she arrived this evening at 6pm to an empty house, Bimbo had alerted her son.
Bimbo started to talk in her sleep. "Save her! Save her!" and Bolu shook her awake. "Are you alright, Mommy?" he asked, concerned.
Bimbo stirred from her sleep, rubbed her eyes and looked up at her son. Then she looked at the clock in the room, which confirmed that it was 11pm. "Are you just getting back from work?" "Yes, Mom. Why are you sleeping on the sofa? Didn't Lola make up the bed for you?" "She did. I was waiting for you to come home. But it is late now...
