Chapter 17

The Christmas break had been just what Misha needed. Two weeks off had been like a gift from heaven. This past year had been a very trying year for her, to say the least. She was now glad that it was officially over. A new year was beginning. It was time to start fresh and new. She was sure this year was going to be better than the last. She was beginning her classes at Clark in a week and she was looking forward to earning her degree.

She returned to school feeling energized and enthusiastic about the new school year. She walked down the hall, feeling optimistic, with a smile so big on her face it was not hard for other people to notice it. She walked to the library and had a seat at one of the tables, waiting for the staff meeting to start. She reflected on the way God used her during the month of December.

Throughout December, everywhere she felt in her spirit she needed to go, she went. She saw how God would direct her and when she got there, the people were amazed how she spoke truth to them and declared her to be a prophet sent by God to give them hope. She had become more secure in her ministry.

She was also happy she was attending New Vision Worship Center, Carlos’s church. The messages the pastor preached were so timely with the way her life was at the moment. She made up in her mind she was there to rest from all the things she had endured. She did not join any of the auxiliary ministries. She did tell Pastor Wells she was a minister. He did not treat her any differently than any other member. However, he never asked her to preach or even sit in the pulpit. Each Sunday, she walked into the church and sat near the back row. At the end of the service, she would get up and leave. Carlos and his wife had told some people she was a minister, but they did not acknowledge her ministry.

Misha thought on these things as she continued to wait for the other teachers and Mr. Davis to arrive for the meeting. Rummaging in her tote bag, she discovered the picture she’d taken with her grandmother during the holiday. They were holding up the quilt they were making. She planned to put the picture on her desk.

“Hey, Mimi, you got a minute?”

Misha looked away from the picture to see Roger standing in front of her. “Roger, you shouldn’t be here.”

“I don’t mean to bother you. Did you hear about Bishop?” he asked.

“I’m not going to talk with you about Bishop.”

“He had a heart attack.”

“Oh no. When? How is he?” Misha’s hands flew to her mouth. She was truly concerned about Bishop. She didn’t want anything to happen to him no matter how he treated her. “No one called me.”

“I tried. You changed your number.”

“I did.” She did not give Roger her new number on purpose.
