“Big bro, where are you?, we need to see, very urgent”
Josh panicked, “what’s wrong dear, I’m on my way home, where are you?”
“At your doorstep, I’m waiting”, she cut the call. Josh drove at high speed thinking about his sister, he had forgotten the whole Joy he had some minutes ago and all he could think of was his little sister.
In 15 minutes, Josh was already at the quarters. He parked at the gate and ran in to know what was that urgent for his sister to have ditched her night flight.
Charis seeing him ran into his arms crying. He held her tight and after awhile popped the question… “Charis, please tell me, what happened? Are Dad and Mom fine, are you not traveling again?”
Then Charis laughed and wiped her tears, “Brother, I found Jesus!! Yes Jesus”, she said heartily.
“Really!” Josh screamed. “Woah! Jesus?”
Charis looked at him with mix of surprise and curiosity, “Wait! You’re not pissed off, you’re not angry, what has happened to my brother?”
“Charis, I found him too”, Josh smiled with tears swelling from his eyes.
“That’s what I needed all this while and I didn’t know, I ran away from home, I consumed myself with lust and drug but none of those fixed me like the 30minutes I just had with Jesus dear… I had left the Clinic to commit suicide!”, Josh cried out like a baby.
“I was a Lesbian Josh!”, Charis caught in with more tears flowing.
Josh was shocked and more teary, “Oh my! Charis! But how?”
“School bro… high class, high life, high mind, so I was introduced to the high system. I had kept it all secret until I followed a friend of mine who had always consistently plead with me to follow her just once to their church. So, I felt why not? Before I travel, let me grant her wish. They were praying but not in English or any language I know of, when I stepped in. I was about laughing and that was the last thing I remembered brother… Only to wake up after and found myself on the altar, I’ve never felt better Josh, “I saw Jesus! I saw Jesus!”. Charis cried again and Josh took her inside.
They both narrated their experiences, past and present encounter with tears and laughter.
Charis started praying in tongues, she held Josh hands and in few minutes, he was screaming; filled with the HolyGhost, praying louder than his sister.
Their prayers lasted into the night, they couldn’t stop till around 3am when they went to rest. Josh slept in the sitting room and Charis stepped into the bedroom.
The next morning, Josh after much persuasion from Charis agreed to come see their parents that weekend and she left.
