John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."

Two weeks later.

Ifes stood up from her bed and went straight to Mandy's reading table.

It was almost 3:30 p.m. on Friday and the Quakers were done with their lectures for the day.

Mandy had gone out with her friends... Her roommate had invited her to join them for the hangout.. she had declined for no just cause. Now she felt bored, she was regretting why she had declined her friends invitation.

She made herself comfortable on the seat adjacent to Mandy's reading table and reached for her roommate's laptop.

She turned on the laptop and didn't know what to do with it. SHe played music but it didn't sooth her... She watched videos, it still didn't help... Slapping her forehead, she browsed the internet, but it wouldn't suffice... She stretched out her hand to the left side of the reading table and grabbed a novel to read.. As she read, she felt like her body split into two and a part of her was already traveling back to Africa.

She could see herself crossing the Atlantic ocean and the Bermuda triangle.

"What nonsense!" She hissed heavily and tossed the novel back on the reading table.

"This is what you bargained for Ifes, live with it."

Shih stood up, spun around to walk back to her bed when her gaze fell on the black cover Bible which was on her reading table.

She decided to read her Bible instead of laying idle on her bed, maybe that could help.

She reached for her Bible, opened it and saw the church tracks she collected and had not distributed them because of the hectic school activities.

Grinning slightly, she decided to go share the tracks instead of sitting and wobbling in her dorm room.

She brought out the tracks from her Bible and counted them.... They were 35.. at least, this will keep her busy till Mandy returns with her friends.

She carefully placed back the tracks in the middle of her Bible and tossed it on her reading table.

She said a short prayer asking the Holy Spirit to direct her to the people to whom she should give the tracks and prayed that those words written on it would change their lives in vast ways.

Stepping away from her reading table, she went into the kitchen and made straight for the coffee maker and made herself a cup of coffee.

She moved towards the cabinets at the left side of the kitchen to take out coffee creamer... She pulled out one of the drawers and didn't see it... She started pulling out the drawers one after the other before she realised they had run out of coffee creamer and other groceries.

She would go to the grocery store on her way returning from her evangelism, for now, she would have to take her coffee black.

She finished making her coffee and brought out a mug from the cabinet at the right side of the kitchen and poured herself a cup before spinning around to the mini dining table in the kitchen.

She finished drinking and took her mug to the dishwasher and turned on the water.. After washing, she took it back to the cabinet and stepped out of the kitchen to her closet.

She stared at her box of clothes for a while contemplating what to put on... She finally brought out a Jean skirt, a pink top and a pair of white sandals... She dressed up, took up her Bible and tracks and stepped out of her dorm room.
