Xa uThixo ethetha nathi kumaphupha ethu
Ngaba uThixo wakha wathetha nawe ephupheni?
Andizange ndizame ngokwam, kodwa ndihlala ndonwabile ngabo banayo. Njengabhlogi weendwendwe wanamhlanje, uPatricia Omncinci, umbhali kunye negalelo rhoqo kwiibhloko ezininzi. Ungalikhumbula iphupha lakhe lomthombo wamanzi othuthuzelayo nophilisayo ovela kwiMysterious Ways magazine.
Kwakungekuphela kwexesha uPatricia afumana intuthuzelo kuThixo ephupheni.
Nali ibali lakhe ...
"Yonke into endiyifunayo, isandla sakho siyibonelele, ukuthembeka kwakho kukukhulu, Nkosi kum." Kukangaphi ndihambisa la mazwi njengomthandazo wombulelo, xa ndijonga emva kukuthembeka kukaThixo kum.
Njengokuba ndandineminyaka engama-34 kwaye kutshanje ndizifumene ndiqhawule umtshato, ndedwa, kufuneka ndiqale phantsi kwezemali kwaye ndiqonde indlela endandifuna ngayo abantwana. Ndandisoyika ndacela uncedo nentuthuzelo kuThixo .. Kwaye kwafika amaphupha.
Okokuqala kwafika ezinzulwini zobusuku kwaye kwakumangalisa ukuba ndivuke kwangoko. Ephupheni, ndabona umnyama okhethekileyo ngaphezu kwebhedi yam. "Usukaphi?" Bendizibuza ngaphambi kokuba ndivumele intloko yam ukuba ibuyele emqamelweni. Ndalala ngokukhawuleza, kanye nephupha lesibini. Ngeli xesha, i-arc yayikhulile kwaye ngoku yayilingana nesiqingatha somnyama. "Yintoni emhlabeni?" Ndacinga xa ndivuka. "Nkosi, athetha ukuthini la maphupha?"
Bendisazi ukuba iminyama ingangumqondiso wezithembiso zikaThixo kwaye ndaziva ngathi uThixo uzama ukundixelela izithembiso zakhe ngendlela yobuqu. Kodwa wayesithini? Ndathandaza ndathi: “Nkosi, ukuba uthetha nam, nceda undibonise omnye umnyama. Bendisazi ukuba umqondiso uvela kuThixo, ndiza kuwazi.
Kwiintsuku ezimbini kamva, umtshana wam oneminyaka emihlanu ubudala uSuzanne weza kulala. Wayengumntwana onomdla kunye nokomoya. Elona xesha silithandayo kunye yayikukufunda amabali ngaphambi kokuba silale size senze imithandazo yethu yangokuhlwa. Wayekhangele phambili ngeli xesha njengokuba ndandinjalo. Ndiye ndothuka xa, ngexesha lokulala, ndamva ephuthaphutha izinto zam zobugcisa endaweni yokulungiselela ukulala.
"Ngaba ndingayifaka i-watercolor, umakazi uPatricia?" Uye wandibuza.
"Kulungile, ngoku lixesha lokulala," ndatsho ngeliphantsi. "Singayifaka i-watercolor kusasa."
Kwasa ekuseni ndivuswe nguSuzanne obehlola izinto zam zobugcisa. "Ndingayenza i-watercolor ngoku, umakazi uPatricia?" Uthe. Kusasa kwakubanda kwaye ndaphinda ndadideka ukuba ufuna ukuphuma ebhedini yakhe efudumeleyo aye kwi-watercolor. "Ngokuqinisekileyo, sithandwa," ndatsho. Ndiye ndakhubeka ndalala ekhitshini ndabuya nekomityi yamanzi ndamvumela ukuba adibhe ibrashi.
Kungekudala, ngenxa yengqele, ndabuyela ebhedini. Ngendibuyele ngokulula ebuthongweni. Kodwa ke ndeva ilizwi elincinci elimnandi likaSuzanne. "Uyayazi into endiza kuyenza kuwe, umakazi uTricia?" Uthe. "Ndizokwenzela umnyama kwaye ndizakufaka phantsi komnyama."
Oku kwakunjalo. Umnyama kudala ndilindile! Ndaliqonda ilizwi likatata zazehlela iinyembezi. Ngokukodwa xa ndibona umzobo kaSuzanne.
Mna, ndincumile ndinomnyama omkhulu ngaphezulu kwam, izandla zam ziphakamisele esibhakabhakeni. Umqondiso wesithembiso sikaThixo.Ukuba akasoze andishiye, soloko enam. Ukuba andindedwa.
