Frustration!
Emeka got into the relationship out of frustration. He was extremely frustrated. Efforts had been made on his part to ask some girls out who had told him no and because his friends had made jest of him, he had a bet with some of his friends to get Chidera.
Can you imagine that? Chidera was being really serious about this relationship and in fact foregoing some of the principles dear to her to please and remain with someone who was in a relationship with her based on a bet. Sad! Really a sad situation to be in.
Let me just drop this here - there's no reason neither is there anyone that is worth dropping your values and the core of you for. Because most times things like this lead to regrets. Obviously there are certain sacrifices and compromises that have to be made in a relationship or marriage but when something is at the core of your person, you shouldn't because you want to please someone forgo such values or principles.
Chidera had lost herself! She had become so distracted! She was not herself anymore! She used to be keen about making impact, about her academics and many other things but she had lost them all... She appeared not to care about what was becoming of her life even though a lot of people tried to talk to her about it.
After Emeka was done proving a point to Chidera, he dumped her. It's sad that she fell a victim with Emeka even though his plan or bet was not known to her. She would have felt better if she was dumped but still held onto her values and did not lose guard. But she did! She dropped her values and disregarded her friends and many other things.
Chidera was heartbroken, she couldn't believe that such would happen to her. She was undeserving of such behavior or treatment. Her friend Sandra, stayed with her despite all the embarrassments she faced while trying to talk her out of being with Emeka. She was the shoulder that Chidera leaned on after being dumped. She gave her confidence again. She helped her get back in track. Chidera was depressed and weighed down because she had lost a lot because of this relationship but thank God for friends like Sandra.
We all need to be careful who we associate with, get into a relationship with or get married to. We need to ensure that at least to a great extent, we are all on the same page - have the same or very similar values, same or similar principles, are embarking on the same or similar journey. Some people come into our lives to distract us and cause to fail (we need to be careful not to allow this happen).
I really pray that we will do our due diligence well when it comes to who we say yes to or get into a relationship with and who we choose to get married to. We need to be on the same page as much as possible. God will help us all in Jesus name. Also take time out to pray - please don't joke with this. I beg you.
Thank you for stopping by. God bless you real good. Have a blessed week.
OneLove,
