Chapter 9

The Day Has Come

“Good morning, Rose, I made you breakfast,” said Pastor Snow.

Lady Snow smiled slightly and sat at the breakfast table as she looked out of the window into the woods.

“I knew how upset you were last night, so I stayed in my office all night praying,” said Pastor Snow as he sat down next to Lady Snow.

He placed her plate in front of her and noticed that her eyes were swollen. He realized that she must have cried herself to sleep.

“Rose, do you remember when I told you that things were going to get hard for us?” asked Pastor Snow.

Lady Snow did not reply. She continued to look outside of their kitchen window.

“Well, that time has come, and I still ask that you trust me. Baby, I need you to trust me. I don’t know why God has given me this cross to carry, but I will continue to honor him and I pray that he can strengthen our marriage through this trial,” stated Pastor Snow.

“Strengthen our marriage? Let’s first start with honesty, Calvin. You can start there. I just don’t know what has happened to you,” replied Lady Snow.

“Baby, I know it’s hard to understand, but please trust me. I beg you to trust me. I love you,” responded Pastor Snow in a passive tone.

Lady Snow said nothing. She turned towards Pastor Snow and patted his hand that was placed next to her plate on the table. She politely got up from the table and pushed her chair in.

“You’re right, I don’t understand. Thank you for making me breakfast, but I’m not hungry, Dear. I don’t know what you have to do, but you better fix this mess,” suggested Lady Snow as she headed towards the living room.

Pastor Snow knew that the time had come to reveal the truth to his wife. He didn’t know where to start, but he knew that he had to stop spending time with Candy. The rumors were destroying his family, but he believed that he had already made a huge impact in Candy’s life. So he went back upstairs to get dressed and the timing couldn’t be more perfect. It was his scheduled day to meet with Candy and he had decided that it was his final day, his final opportunity.

Pastor Snow was ready. He got dressed, grabbed his keys from the night stand, and was ready to walk out of the door. He dreaded to leave Lady Snow at home with so many doubts, yet he felt obligated to talk with Candy face to face. He felt fixed in place, like his feet were cemented to the ground. His mind said go but his heart said wait. All he knew for sure, was that God’s path was the path that he must walk

“Baby, I’ll be back, I have to run some errands,” said Pastor Snow, nervous about what Lady Snow’s reply would be. He waited nearly 30 seconds. Lady Snow hadn’t said a word as if she had ignored and dismissed his announcement.
