ADELINE'S FAITH IN GOD ( PART 1 )


Three adorable friends, namely, Lawrencia, Adeline and Dorothy decided to go on a trip to a far away land where they have never been to.
Lawrencia and Dorothy hailed from rich homes while Adeline came from a poor, principled home. Dorothy offered to use her personal car and Adeline had to sacrifice and drive.  Halfway to the land, they ran out of diesel, food and drinks.They had to stop and wait for a good samaritan to rescue them.Their  route wasn't one that many people prefer to use so they waited for long in hunger. Lawrencia and Dorothy could not bear it and began to cry. They felt sorry for embarking on such a trip. Meanwhile Adeline quietly took her Bible & invited them to join in reading but they refused.
Lawrencia: We are hungry & all you can think of is reading and praying?...
Adeline looked at her friends & smiled. She knew prayers and reading of the Bible would help them but they didn't understand her no matter how she explained.
Some hours later, they heard the sound of a car. Dorothy and Lawrencia begun to rejoice.
"He looks like a prince"....
Lawrencia whispered to Dorothy when the car got closer to them. It was a handsome, young man dressed like a prince.
"What on earth are these beautiful ladies doing out here by themselves?.
"We want help please?.....They answered. After explaining everything to the gentleman,  he also introduced himself as Fred and showed them some fruits and foodstuffs he had in his car. He had lots of money too.
"I will help you ladies but on one condition!...He said.
"And what would that be?...Adeline questioned.
Fred: Relax ladies, all I want is to lay down with each one of you & you'll have food to eat since you girls are so hungry. I will also drive you home safely.
Everyone was quiet and the place was getting darker. Fear griepped them.
Lawrencia: "Let's give in and get home safely, after all what haven't you and I done before?....she whispered to Dorothy.
Adeline: I will do no such stupid thing simply because I'm hungry and need help.
Adeline replied in anger.
Dorothy and Lawrencia decided to give in so they could get help.
Fred: You prefer to die at this place instead of giving in something little. Oh that's sad!...He said.
Adeline: "Yes I'll prefer to die than give my pride to you"
She held her stomach in pain & started calling for water but no one paid attention to her.
Fred gave the other ladies food,water,fruits and asked them to sit in his car so he could take them to their house hoping that Adeline would beg him but she didn't and laid on the floor in pain alone.
Before they set off, Adeline cried out to her friends to inform her family that she loved them dearly & that she would be home soon.
What will happen to Adeline?.
Will her faith as a Christian save her from this situation?....Kindly wait patiently for the next part. Thanks.
