Amazing Grace

Chapter 26 [Lessons]

Aalyiah

Mr Davis' car was nice and simple. It was a midnight blue 5 seater with no real special features about it. I liked that.

"About the whole feminist riot you had in the store.." He said playfully while still staring at the road.

"What now?" I replied.

"Well we did agree that we would help each other with our faiths right?" He says taking a quick look at me. I nodded and he looked back at the road as he continued

"Well i wanted to say, watch the groups you associate yourself with." I didnt even say anything, i just continued to listen taking everything in.

" You see, a lot of the times people can use groups like that to move women even further away from the way God intended for them to be. I use to be the same with so called male empowering groups" A look of offense came over my face.

"Those same groups give women to voice to talk about our rights. Of course since your a man you don't understand but those same groups save us from pigs like you." I exclaimed not even realizing how harsh that came out. Damn Hormones! I saw his eyes open a little bit and i could tell he was taken back by that.

"Sorry.."I said while tucking my head back into my shoulders, He chuckled.

"Its okay, you are still in the worldly mindset. Its all about working your way out of that." He said and i couldn't help but admire how understanding he is. How quickly he forgave me instead of dragging this out into an argument, He really is gaining the love of God.

"So what do you think about the whole feminist thing?" I said while playing with my fingers nervously.

"Listen, I am all for women fighting for their rights, with all that women go through because of men they Have no choice but to. But I'm just not for some groups like that trying to manipulate women of GOD to be something they aren't..." I look over at him with slight confusion.

"Then what are women supposed to be like?" He put his hand on the clutch and shifted it into a further gear

"Well worldly women live with lower morals than Godly women. They believe anything goes. My body my rules you know as said in the title, they live for the world..."

I started thinking of everything that he was saying and how all the worldly women i knew said this same thing, Including me.

"yeah, i know."

".. well a woman of God knows and understands that her body isnt 100% her body." Now i am really muffled.

"Wait a minute, you mean the body that i live in isnt mine? Stop playing tricks with me Mr Davis" I say while staring daggers at him. His face is still on the road as he stops at a red light and looks into my eyes..

"Maleek."

"Oh i can call you that again?" I say while I looked back down to my fingers.

"Im sorry about what happened in the office by the way, i can recognise the fact you were trying to help. I shouldnt have been so rude." He says while his fingers tap on the steering wheel.

"Its okay, maleek." I reply remembering what Pastor troy preached last Sunday... we must forgive to be forgiven

"Anyways please continue."

"You see in the bible it tells us that we are all vessels of christ and that we were all bought at a price, Our bodies dont belong to us, they belong to God. We are supposed to use our bodies to worship God so when i see some of these feminist groups manipulating women of God into believing their bodies are their own and they can wear and do whatever they chose with them. They can sleep with whoever, that bodycounts aren't important.." I took everything in as his eyes began to gaze at my features.

"A woman of the world cant understand how much value she truly has and she does have value but the devil cant allow her to see that so she lets people use her body and abuse her character, but a woman of God.."

He scoffs and gives me a pure smile.

"she respects herself, You wont find her online just showing her body to just anyone, she knows that she could get anybody but still waits on the lord's timing. A woman like that deserves to be praised."

That right there. That is who i want to be. Thats is my goal! He has such an amazing way to motivate people but its gonna take a long time for me to change my character for God. Im still feeling a type of way the whole feminist thing. The light turned green again and he looked back to the road and continued to drive.

"So no aaliyah, i dont have a problem with women fighting for rights, as a matter of fact i love seeing women be strong and fight for justice, as long as the intentions are in the context of God and his word after all thats all that matters right?" He said while smiling and taking a quick look at me.

"Right." I said, I never really thought about this, it makes a lot of sense from a biblical aspect.

A few minutes went by and i was gripping my stomach again, the pain had started to multiply, i knew i shouldn't have had those chocolate bars, they only ever increase my period pains. We were almost back at the gym and i couldn't help but groan and moan because of the pain i was in. Mr Davis- i mean maleek, saw me and turned up the heat, he reached in the back seat and grabbed a bottle of water

"Here... drink this. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? Do you want some more water?" The questions rolled in and i would have laughed so hard if i wasn't hurting so much. I couldnt even reply to him.He ended up pulling the car over fretting about the things he should do for me.

"Okay breath.."

"Dont say that, im not going into labour!" I snapped at him then started to take a few breaths anyway. He just stared at me with tension, waiting for what i would do next, i rubbed my stomach and threw my head back.

"You good?" I continued to take deep breaths out and finally looked back at him

"Im good." He started to drive again and now my stomach was feeling slightly better but i still felt mild pain, I could see the gym building from here and I sighed at the thought of working on my period. He pulled into the car park and turned off the car.

Then stopped to look at me one more time before opening his car door, I grabbed the door handle to get out.

"Stop it." He says as he grabs the car door and pushes it closed.

"Maleek we are at work, let me get out of the car."

"You arent going anywhere, you are in pain, i cant watch you walk around the stuffy sweaty gym like this." My face blushed and i felt hot.

"I cant skip work maleek."

"Im your boss at work remember? Stay in this car." He said with a slight smile on his face. I watched him leave and walk into the building. My whole face flushed and i just had to let out a little chuckle as soon as he closed the door.

Yes thats a 3 CHAPTER UPDATE YALL! I hope you are enjoying it so far... this chapter reflected on me and Maleek opinions are very much my opinions. When I started my relationship with Christ I started to realise a bunch of things and have a bunch of things be exposed to me. One of those things were the whole act of feminism and I realise how much it goes against the way God intended women to be. The whole movement made me hate men and we all know that hate is not something that God tolerates. I learned how to escape from the worldly mindset of feminism and how to fight for my rights as a woman of God. I suggest that other women of God learn deeply about the groups that they're following before they do so...
Anyways if you did enjoy this please comment and vote
God bless :)
