THE DIARY GAME: 02082020 The Glorious and Happy Sunday Service with the Ballerina

Hello Today,
I woke up at 6am, picked up my phone and stood up from the bed to check messages and also my steemit accoutnt because i needed to sort out stuffs for my posts concerning the diarygame, i was on it and at the same time chatting with a fellow steemian @lovveday on whatsapp for some clarifications, this lasted for about an hour.

I was sitting on a chair with a table infront of me, then i took a pen and paper to jot down what he, @lovveday told me. After which i began to prepare for church as a christain, because its a sunday, i had my bath, dressed up and off i go to church.
I attend Church of God Mission International (CGMI) today located very close to my house, reasons: because of time factor and since the lockdown for covid19 pandemic my church have being on cell basis and the cell i used to attend is a bit far.

I arrived church at around 8:30am, i was late already, at that time it was during question and answer session concerning today's "Sunday School". Immediately after that, the wonderful and glorious hallelujah choir came up on stage and lead the congregation into the session of "worship and praise" with with melodious local song (like "Uwese Baba, "Chineke Idibuke") that got everyone in the church clapping, shaking body and dancing wounderful to the glory of God.

After the priase and worship session , a female minister came up on d pulpit to give a brief encouragement to d congregation on being "heavenely concsciousness with a text from colossians 3:1-4 and she said we are prigrilms here and our home is heaven, therefore heavenly minded christians should put God's things first in their lives, do God's work as if its d last day and she ended the seesion with the song "draw me nearer to thee" and leading the congregation into prayers with d prayer point: "God have mercy and help us to be burning for you".
Another minister came up the pulpit and said a song has being ringing in his heart with the title " u carry me, when some carry their gods" and ask the choir to lead d congregation in the song, after the song, he immediately proccedded to the session of welcoming new comers in church and the choir entertained them with d song "God has Glorified U" with d ushers inviting them to the foremost front seats in d middle row of the church hall.

After which he immediately called on d choir for thier ministration. And a lead chorister introduced the title of the choir ministration as "Ngewele" a local language which means "holy" with a ballerina who is 8yrs old and her name is Ugho. While d choir ministeration lasted and the ballerina went off stage.

Ugho, the Ballerina

I liked her and i made a move to quickly go behind the back stage to take some photos of her but when i got to the back stage there was a children section and wondering around the kids to see if i will find her, but i didn't see her, so i walked pass and entererd an inner door where i saw two women , one standing and d sitting and nursing a new born baby, so i asked them where is the ballerina that performed on stage and they asked me to check the next door, then i peeped through d door and saw two other children sections again and a teacher in one of the sections asked me if am looking for someone, yea i was! so grabbing the opportunity, i asked her where is the ballerina and she said i should come inside and check another inner door, as i was approaching d inner door i saw two kids, a boy and a girl and i asked them where is the ballerina that just went off stage and they answered in unionism here she...., before they could finish their words, the ballerina i have being look ong for popped up at the door.
I was excited to see her, but before i could ask her if i can take photos of her, a woman came out from the door and interrogated me what do i want to do with the girl, offcourse the woman and the girl looks alike and i just assumed the girl is her daughter, yea my assumptions were very correct!

So i asked the mother, if i can take photo of her daughter giving her my reasons that i liked her and also i am writing a diary and i would want to add the girl's photo to my diary, then the mother agreed without wasting of time, yea i was so happy that my diary today will be a complete one.
But before i finally find the girl, she has already changed into another ballet attires, so i pleaded she should wear the the previous dress. But the mother said i should snap her with the one she is wearing now and wait till closing of service for her to change to the previous dress, i recluctanly snapped her like 2-4 shots, but when i saw d capture i was not satisfied so i went back to the mother to plead with her again that the girl should just change ñow given her reasons again that after service there may not be time to snap: lolz; that was just a makeup story, i just wanted snap her now! then she agreed again and i was excited within me, i didn't show it by my body movement offcourse but i believed it showed on facial expression, so i waited for her to change.

While i was waiting, the room was a bit cold with fans and ACs turned on, so at the corner where i was waiting close to the fan controller/ regulator boxes; one of the children teachers was sitting, carrying a little boy of around age 3 on his laps and he asked me to turn off all the fans since i was standing close to them, offcourse i helped him to do that.

Ugho in her first attires

Immediately after i was done with that, Ugho came out changed into the dress i wished but not properly dressed with the mother behind her trying to her help tie up her ballet dress ropes at the back in a hurry, while doing that the mother asked me where am going to snap, but before i could answer, she continued by saying if we are going to snap outside then the girl has to wear her footwears because at this point she was not wearing any so she quickly went inside to get the footwears and we run out of the room to snap, while going i started to ask her her details that was how i got to know her ñame and age.
We got outside, locate a nice background and i began to snap her, while snapping i asked her to keep on changing posture wow! She gave me amazing ballet postures. Finally i got what i wanted, am excited. I thanked her and went back to the congregation. When i came back the choir ministeration has already ended and a preacher was already on the pulpit preaching the main sermon for today's sunday service.

I sat down on my seat and listened to the sermon quitely. The preacher ended the session by leading the congregation into prayer and left the pulpit with the words " you must remain on the narrow and straight pathway to heaven". Another Minister came on pulpit and continue the prayers with the prapyer point "pray for Nigeria, that Nigeria will be a land flowing with milk and honey where people from other parts of the world will be craving to come to" and then ended the session with few announcement and immediately moved to the tithe and offering seesion according to (Malachi 3:3) with praise and dance led by the glorious choir while the entire congregation danced out of their seats to the stage of the church to offer happily to the Lord.

Me, in church today

When i got to church earlier i sighted a decorated table with a stuff wrapped like a cake box on it infront of the stage, so i thought its someone's birthday celebration in church today but atfer the tithes and offerings session the Head Pastor announced they the church has been in 3 days fasting and prayers as a preparation to begin the new month and they are breaking the fast with an "holy communion" (the last super representing the body and blood of Jesus, which he commanded christians to do in remeberance of him) which was what i thought to be a cake was placed on the table. He made the pronouncement of the words before taking an holy communion according to (1st Corinthians 11:23-29), while ushers passed the communion silently with a soft choir ministeration on the background, after which the pastor said there was a ministration for anointing the children, so he procceded immediately into the anointing session.

Celebration and also recognition of August borns in the congregation was next, this amazed and excited me so much because am an August born, we were asked to come out to the stage, wow! We were so many! the entire congregation wished us happy birthday, celebrated and prayed for us while we kneeled on the stage, wow! Am blessed! After the congregation celeberated us, special and general announcements were made, while the entire congregation stood up to sing the church anthem titled: "I need u to Survive" lead by the choir and we all followed and shared the grace.

August Borns in Church Today, this is jist a part of us!

Wow! I made two new friends today in church, Ugho and Rita, Rita is also an August born.

Church closed, I and Rita interacted to know ourselves beacuse we were sitting next to each other, then wished ourselves happy birthday although her's has passed which was yesterday and mine is in advance, on the 5th of August. From there we came outside the church hall to snap some photos but before then i found Ugho again so i decided to snap with her again and exchanged contacts Rita and left for our houses.

I got home around few minutes passed 12pm, i was very tired and hungry, becuase i didn't had breakfast for leaving for this morning, so i rushed into my kitchen to warm my food (Egusi soup which is melon soup and baked garri to form what we call "eba", garri is made from cassava through different processing processes) Egusi Soup and Eba is a very wonderful and delicious delicacy in Nigeria. So i enjoyed myself with that and rested.

After resting for a while, i took up my phone and begin to update my diary for my #diarygame after i was done with my update i slept.
3:30-50pm sleeping mode!
