"MUMMY, I AM AWAKE"
As a small boy, I had a standard ritual for waking up (don't laugh at me): I would call out each morning, "Mummy, I am awake". Mummy comes to sit on my bed. I climb on her back. She turns around and I glide off her back. That's how the day starts (don't feel jealous if you did not have that *winks*).
But the fun ended sometimes at age 4. I
screamed as usual and mum did not respond. I added "Mummy, I said I am awake". But even the authoritative style did not work. Mummy heard me but she did not respond. Daddy told her she must not. I broke into tears and wept for long.
After a while, soaked in my tears, I glided off the bed, set my feet on the floor for the first time without "sweet mother's back".
Daddy said "Congratulations. Now you are growing up".
Listen! Enough of being a baby christian- crying for support, stuck in a cradle and never willing to take a stand. You still consult prayer contractors.
You cannot read the word except it is preached on sundays. You cannot take a weekly fast. You have not led one soul to Jesus!
A new baby is a blessing but a baby who refuses to grow is a burden.
Stop waiting for "emotional support". Stop complaining that "no one has visited you from church". Grow up! Take responsibility.
I hereby declare that there is no vacancy at the creche or daycare of the Holy Ghost for you.
Grow up!
