ITS STORY TIME WITH www.proudlynation.com.ng

Paul couldn’t tell if his wife had forgotten about
what happened last weekend or not. She was
acting all normal only that she had been
taciturn for the past five days since he was
caught watching the Unclad lady. Apart from
that she had remained the God fearing and
loving wife he had married. He could see that
what happened was more of an embarrassment
than offensive.
He loved her and wouldn’t want to hurt her. He
also wouldn’t want to hurt God whom he had
vowed to serve with his whole heart. But
something had been happening in his mind
since he last spoke with the devilish girl at her
work place. He had found himself replying their
conversation over and over again in his mind,
despite efforts to let go of the memory of the
meeting. The cunning girl had forced him to
confess he didn’t think she had an ugly body.
Those were filty words and a Christian like him
was not supposed to express whatever he felt
about her body. In fact he wasn’t even
supposed to think of it.
Why did he have to see her again? He was sure
that the devil was at war with him.
He decided that he was going to fast
throughout the week. Today was his third day
into the fasting. He was going to ensure no
sexual thought came into his head. He wasn’t
even going to do anything with his wife.
Another guilty thought was that he was
unconsciously comparing his wife’s body with
the devil lady’s. His wife was beautiful with an
equally beautiful body but she didn’t carry
herself the way that lady carried her; Ruth
didn’t have style she was just herself. Paul was
sure she was sent by the devil because she was
making him have these evil sinful thoughts in
his head.
These thoughts were the reason why he had
been praying all evening since he came back
from work. Ruth had been coming close to him
like she wanted him to have her but he had
promised God that he wouldn’t involve in any
sexual act until the fast was over. He was
definitely going to rid every sinful thought from
his mind and not even s*x from his wife was
going to stop him.
Ruth had almost forgotten about what
happened last weekend. After much thought,
she didn’t think it what her husband did was a
strong reason enough to be angry with him.
she had been able to see it as the work of the
devil and so had decided that she wouldn’t
allow the devil get between her and her
husband. What she didn’t understand however,
was why her husband was acting all guilty since
the event. Why can’t he see that she was ready
to let go and make up with him? Why can’t he
just let it go and make love to her?
Now she had gotten even more restless with
the fact that he’d just started fasting. Why was
he fasting again? Didn’t he just finish one the
previous week just before they packed into this
neigbourhood? He hadn’t even made love to
her since then. And now, only God knew when
she would feel his touch again.
This thought also made her felt guilty and
sinful. She knew she wasn’t supposed to
complain within her about the fasting her
husband was doing. She was supposed to
appreciate it and thank God he was equipping
himself spiritually. What was s*x compared to
what her husband was doing for the Lord.
Yet, he body desired to be touched despite all
prayers and reading of the word of God.
He had just finished praying when she walked
into the room. She knew she had been taciturn
since she caught him staring at the Unclad
lady; she felt it was time she opened up a
discussion with him, hopefully he would stop
acting guilty and relax around her.
Deep down in her mind she was not sure of why
she wanted him to relax around her. She wasn’t
also sure of why she entered the room to meet
him. Oh! How she wished he could just make
love to her.
“So how was work today?” she asked as she sat
on the best.
Paul had just picked up the bible to read one or
two chapters, she looked up at her, “Work was
nice. I thank God for everything.”
“Yes… this new neighbourhood is quiet but I
prefer it to our former place.” She said.
“With time, you will get used to it.” He said,
recalling again how the so called
neighbourhood had welcomed them the first
day they had parked in. but that didn’t stop
him from noticing how pretty Ruth looked this
evening. She smelt nice too and he almost felt
like reaching out his hands to grab her to him.
He really loved her.
“Yes, I will get used to it.”
“I trust that the good Lord will soon provide you
a job and you will be busy.” He said. “Why don’t
we study the bible together and pray?” he
suggested.
“Oh.” She felt it was a good idea even though
prayer wasn’t the reason why she had entered
the room. Yet, she knew that as a Christian, she
must pray without ceasing.
She sat beside him and together, the two love
birds began to study the word.
