THIRTEEN
Yvonne eased into one of the many parking spaces surrounding the Athletic Center, trying not to fuss about the injustice of this parking lot situation. It got on her nerves so bad that the Athletic Department was so selfish about this. She kept threatening to park in Gilead Jackson’s spot. But she always changed her mind when she thought about her baby languishing in that Chapel Hill towing parking lot, surrounded by all of those mean dogs.
Yvonne was ten minutes early for her nine-thirty meeting with members of the basketball team’s coaching staff and the athletic director about five of the players who were taking her class. She didn’t have a clue what this meeting was about, and hoped Maurice would be there. Yvonne did not like Gilead Jackson, Kordell Bivens, or Castilleo Palmer, and didn’t want to be in a meeting with those men minus somebody who she knew had her back.
She finished listening to one of her favorite songs, “Jericho” by Senior Pastor Jason Nelson of Greater Bethlehem Temple Apostolic Church in Randalstown, Maryland, right outside of Baltimore. His twin brother, Jonathan, had lit up the gospel music charts with his song “My Name Is Victory,” and was about to do it again with his newest song, “Right Now Praise.” Those twins were some singing fools, and their older brother, James, could preach your shoes off your feet and put them back on, laces tied to perfection. “Jericho” was an upbeat song filled to the brim with Holy Ghost power for being victorious on the battlefield of spiritual warfare. And Yvonne knew she did not need to waltz herself in that meeting without getting girded up just like the Word instructed her to do at the end of Ephesians 6.
Something wasn’t right about this meeting. Yvonne didn’t know what it was. But she knew in her heart that something was up. She dug around in her purse and pulled out a tiny vial of anointing oil, put a few drops in her hand, and anointed her head.
“Lord, keep a blood covering over me in Jesus’s name. Father, give me wisdom and the courage to do Your will in this situation. In Jesus’s name I pray, amen.”
Yvonne got out of the car and made her way to the conference room, which Maurice had told her was on the first floor. This was an impressive building and it was clear that the school had dropped a whole lot of money in it. But she thought her building was much nicer—even if it didn’t have enough parking spaces. There were some definite advantages to being in the Department of Design. They could make sure that their building represented what was going on inside.
Yvonne loved her job. It was the first time in a long while that she’d had a job where she got to do what she loved to do—interior and exterior design, painting, furniture design, and teaching. She worked with some of the kindest and sweetest people on campus, and had great hours for a single mom.
