\u201cMungu Hutoa Ahadi Zake kwa Wale Wanaochagua Kutii\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Na Dada Cheryl Blanton<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Brandy Lascoe ni mwanachama wa Tawi la Blue Springs. Anampenda Bwana kwa njia ambayo sisi tunapaswa kufanya. Anaanza siku zake mapema, akiinuka kuomba na kujifunza maandiko kabla ya kuanza siku yake. Amemiliki boutique huko Blue Springs, MO kwa miaka kumi. Utapata miguso ya Bwana ndani yake. Amemweka Mungu mbele ya biashara hii na amefanikiwa sana kufanya hivyo. Ushindani wake umeshuka kando na biashara yake bado iko imara. Huu ni ushuhuda wake binafsi <\/span><\/p>\n

Nikifanya kazi kwenye duka siku hiyo, mlango wa mbele ulifunguliwa na nikatazama juu na kuona wanaume wawili wakipitia mlango huo. Niliwasalimia huku nikiwafanyia wateja wangu wote. Mwanamume katika boutique yangu sio kawaida isipokuwa wakati wa Krismasi. Mmoja alikuwa mtu mwembamba, urefu wa futi 7, na mwingine mfupi lakini mnene sana. Walipoingia mlangoni, niliona gari likitoka mbele huku mwanamke akiendesha. Mimi na yeye tulitazamana machoni, lakini sikumwashiria. Alisita, kisha akashuka kwenye gari lake na kuingia dukani.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Wale watu wawili walielekea upande mmoja wa duka na nikawafuata ili nione kama ningeweza kuwasaidia. Walikuwa wakisemezana kwa lugha ambayo sikuielewa. Mwanamume huyo mrefu alianza kunyakua nguo kwenye rafu, akichukua rundo la jeans za kike zenye ukubwa sawa. Tena nikamtazama kwa macho yule mwanamke. Niliweza kusema alikuwa na shaka na wasiwasi. Kumtazama kwangu kulisema, "Tafadhali, usiniache peke yangu. Nisaidie."  <\/span><\/p>\n

Aliwaambia wanaume hao kwa sauti kubwa, \u201cKununua kwa ajili ya Siku ya Wapendanao?\u201d lakini hakuna mtu aliyejibu. Nilinyanyua rundo la suruali ya jeans kutoka kwenye mkono wa yule mtu mrefu na kusema nitampeleka kwenye daftari. Wakati huo huo, mtu wa stockier alinyakua nguo nne. Walinifuata kwenye daftari na nikawapigia wote waliyokuwa wamekusanya. Ilifikia $450. Niliuliza kama walikuwa wakilipa pesa taslimu au malipo na yule mtu aliyenenepa sana akanipa kadi ya mkopo yenye sura ya ajabu isiyo na alama yoyote mbele yake. Nilimuuliza ikiwa ni kadi ya benki au ya mkopo na akasema ni kadi ya kulipia kabla ya Walmart. Mapigo ya moyo yalikuwa yakidunda kwa kasi kwani sikujua ni jinsi gani ningekabiliana na jambo hili lakini nilijua sitaichukua kadi hii. Nilikuwa nikiomba huku nikiwapigia simu, nikimwomba Mungu anisaidie nijue la kufanya.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Nilipapasa kadi na mara moja nikasema, \u201cLo, mashine yangu haipendi kadi yako ya Walmart.\u201d<\/span>  Alichukua kadi na kugeuka bila kusema neno. Wote wawili walienda kwenye gari lao lililokuwa limeegeshwa mbele ya Starbucks na kuondoka. Sijui nambari ya usajili ilikuwa ya jimbo gani lakini haikuwa ya kawaida. Mwanamke huyo alitembea nami hadi mlangoni na kuniuliza ikiwa ningeweza kufunga mlango wa mbele. Kisha akaniambia hadithi yake.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alisema alikuwa akipita tu mjini na alikuwa amesimama Starbucks kupata kahawa na kisha alikuwa akielekea Cape Girardeau. Alichukua kahawa yake, akaona ishara yangu ya boutique, kisha akaondoka kwenda kutekeleza shughuli kabla hajaingia kwenye barabara kuu. Baada ya kufanya shughuli hiyo, kuna kitu kilimfanya arudi dukani kwangu. Alijaribu kuikataa, lakini hisia ilikuwa kali sana, kwa hivyo akarudi njia yangu. Alipokuwa anasogea mbele ya duka, aliona wanaume wawili wakipitia mlangoni, wakiingia ndani. Alisita kwa sekunde moja na mawazo yakamjia kichwani kwamba labda ni aina fulani ya boutique ya kikabila.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Aliniona kupitia dirishani na tukatazamana machoni, kila mmoja akitazama kwa sekunde kadhaa. Alishuka kwenye gari lake na kuingia. Aliendelea kunitazama nikimtazama kwa macho huku akiendelea kuwatazama wanaume hao. Aliniambia kwamba alidhani kwamba mtu mfupi zaidi labda alikuwa na bunduki kwenye mfuko wake wa kofia kwa kuwa kulikuwa na umbo la ajabu mle ndani. Niliona pia, lakini wazo la bunduki halikunijia kamwe. Alisema aliweza kuona kwamba kulikuwa na rundo kubwa la fedha mle ndani pia. Nilimwambia kwamba nilikuwa nikiomba huku nikiwapigia simu kwenye rejesta kwamba alikuwa jibu la maombi yangu. Kisha akaniambia yeye si mtu wa "dini" na nikamwambia kuwa mimi ndiye.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Tuliongea huku akinunua na nikamsaidia kuchagua mavazi. Alitumia $250. Nilimkumbatia, nikapata barua pepe yake, na akaendelea na safari yake. Baada ya kumshukuru Bwana na kuruhusu yaliyotokea kuzama, nilimtumia barua pepe, nikimshukuru sana kwa kuwa mtu mzuri na hakuniacha peke yangu katika hali hiyo. Nilimwambia ninamshukuru milele kwa wema wake.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Hakika Mungu alikuwa na mkono wake juu ya hali hiyo yote. Ikiwa wanaume hawakuwa wazuri, basi kwa nini Mungu alimtaka arudi na kuja dukani kwangu? Kama ningekuwa peke yangu, ninaamini ningeweza kuibiwa, sio tu kutoka kwa rejista yangu ya pesa bali pia bidhaa zangu. Mungu asifiwe. Ninampa Utukufu wote! <\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
