IT kunali kutha kwa ulendo wautali woimba konsati kudutsa Canada — pafupifupi ma mile 5000 onse. Thupi langa ndi malingaliro zidatopa. Nditatsiriza konsati yanga yomaliza, tinali titangotsala ndi maola awiri kuchokera kunyumba. Basi imodzi yokha yamafuta, ndipo tikadakhala kuti tikunyamuka nthawi ya Khrisimasi. Ndinayang'ana mkazi wanga ndikuti, "Zomwe ndikufuna kuchita ndikuyatsa moto ndikugona ngati mtanda pakama." Ndinkatha kununkhiza utsi wa m'nkhalango kale.
Mnyamata idadza niyima ndi mpope kuyembekezera malangizo anga. “Dzazani — dizilo,” ndinatero. Zinali imachititsa -22 C (-8 Farenheit) kunja, kotero ine anakwawa kubwerera mu ofunda ulendo basi, chachikulu 40 phazi motorhome. Ine ndinakhala kumeneko mu mpando wanga, nsana wanga kupweteka, malingaliro yobwerera kwa moto chochititsa mantha ... Patapita mphindi zowerengeka, ine ndinayang'ana kunja. Jockey ya gasiyo inali itabwereranso mkatimo kuti ikawotha, motero ndinaganiza zopita kukayang'ana pampu. Ndi thanki yayikulu pamagalimoto amtunduwu, ndipo imatenga mphindi 10 kudzaza nthawi zina.
Ndidayima ndikuyang'ana khunguyo pomwe china chake sichimawoneka bwino. Unali woyera. Sindinawonepo mphukira yoyera ya dizilo. Ine ndinayang'ana mmbuyo pa mpope. Kubwerera ku mphuno. Kubwerera pampu. Anadzaza basi ndi mafuta osatulutsidwa!
Gasi adzawononga injini ya dizilo, ndipo ndinali ndi atatu a iwo akuthamanga! Imodzi yotenthetsera, imodzi ya jenereta, kenako injini yayikulu. Ndinayimitsa pampu nthawi yomweyo, yomwe inali itatuluka pafupi $177.00 mafuta. Ndinathamangira m'basi ndikutseka chowotcha ndi jenereta.
Nthawi yomweyo ndinadziwa kuti usiku wawonongeka. Sitinapite kulikonse. The makala moto mu malingaliro anga tsopano kusonkhezera phulusa. Ndimamva kutentha kwachisoni kuyamba kuwira m'mitsempha mwanga. Koma chinachake mkati anandiwuza ine kuti ndikhale bata ...
Ndinapita kokwerera mafuta kuti ndifotokoze momwe zinthu ziliri. Mwiniwake anali pomwepo. Anali akupita kunyumba kukakonza chakudya cha anthu 24 omwe amabwera usiku womwewo. Tsopano malingaliro ake nawonso anali pachiwopsezo. Wokwera gasi, mnyamata wazaka mwina 14 kapena 15, adayima pamenepo mwamanyazi. Ndinamuyang'ana, ndikuthedwa nzeru… koma mkati mwanga munali chisomo, bata lokhazikika lomwe linandiuza kutero khalani achifundo.
Koma pamene kutentha kunkakulirakulira, ndinali ndi nkhawa kuti makina amadzi panyumba yamagalimoto ayamba kuzizira. “Ambuye, izi zikuipiraipira.” Ana anga asanu ndi mmodzi anali m'bwato ndi mkazi wanga wa miyezi 8 wapakati. Kamwana kakang'ono kanadwala, kakuponya kumbuyo. Kunali kuzizira kwambiri mkati, ndipo pazifukwa zina, wophulirayo anali akupunthwa pamene ndimayesa kulowetsa mota kunyumba kuti ipange magetsi. Tsopano mabatire adalikupita akufa.
Thupi langa linapitilirabe kupweteka pamene mamuna wa mwini wake ndimadutsa tawuni kufunafuna njira zotayira mafutawo. Titafika ku gasi, wozimitsa moto anali atabwera ndi migolo ingapo yopanda kanthu. Mwa tsopano, awiri ndi theka maola atapita ndi. Ine ndimayenera kukhala pafupi ndi motowo wanga. M'malo mwake, mapazi anga anali kuzizira ngati ife mumafuna pa achisanu nthaka kukhetsa mafuta. mawu ananyamuka mtima wanga, "Ambuye, ine ndakhala ndikulalikira Uthenga kwa inu mwezi wathawu ... Ine ndiri pa lanu mbali! ”
Gulu laling'ono la amuna linali litasonkhana tsopano. Anagwira ntchito limodzi ngati odziwa kuyimitsa dzenje. Zinali zodabwitsa momwe chilichonse chimawonekera kupezedwera: kuyambira zida, migolo, antchito, kudziwa, chokoleti yotentha-ngakhale chakudya chamadzulo.
Ndinalowa mkati nthawi ina kuti ndikatenthe. “Sindikukhulupirira kuti ndiwe wodekha,” wina anatero.
“Chabwino, kodi munthu angachite chiyani?” Ndinayankha. “Ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu.” Sindingathe kudziwa chifukwa, pamene ndinabwerera panja.
Zinali pang'onopang'ono kutulutsa mizere itatu yamafuta. Patapita kanthawi, ndinabwerera kusiteshoni kukatenthetsanso. Mkazi wa mwini nyumbayo komanso mayi wina anali atayimirira pamenepo akukambirana mwamtendere. Anawala atandiona.
"Bambo wachikulire adalowa muno atavala buluu," adatero. "Adangolowa pakhomo, ndikuyimirira ndikukuyang'ana panja, kenako nkutembenukira kwa ine nati, 'Mulungu walola kuti zimenezi zitheke. ' Kenako anangochokapo. Zinali zodabwitsa kwambiri kuti nthawi yomweyo ndinatuluka panja kukawona komwe amapita. Sanapezeke kwina kulikonse. Kunalibe galimoto, kunalibe munthu, kulibe kalikonse. Kodi ukuganiza kuti anali mngelo? ”
Sindikukumbukira zomwe ndinanena. Koma ndinayamba kumva kuti usiku uno unali ndi cholinga. Aliyense yemwe anali, anandisiya ndi mphamvu zatsopano.
Ena maola anayi pambuyo pake, mafuta Kuipa chatsanulidwa ndi akasinja ndi refilled (ndi dizilo). Pomaliza, mnyamatayo yemwe adandipewa, tsopano adakumana maso ndi maso. Anapepesa. “Pano,” ndinatero, “ndikufuna kuti ukhale ndi ili.” Inali yanga ya CD yanga imodzi. “Ndakukhululukirani pazomwe zidachitika. Ine ndikufuna inu mudziwe kuti izi ndi mmene Mulungu amachitira ife tikachimwa. " Nditatembenukira kwa mwini wake, ndidati, "Chilichonse chomwe mungachite naye ndi bizinesi yanu. Koma ndikulingalira kuti akhala m'modzi mwa anyamata omwe amamvetsera mwachidwi pano. ” Ndinamupatsanso CD, kenako tinanyamuka.
KALATA
Patatha milungu ingapo, ndinalandira kalata yochokera kwa bambo yemwe anali atapita kuphwando la Khrisimasi kwa eni ake usiku womwewo.
Atafika kunyumba kudzadya, adauza aliyense kuti amaopa kukumana ndi eni nyumba yamagalimoto (ena amafuula za $ 2.00 yodzaza!), Koma woyendetsa njinga yamoto adauza onse omwe adakhudzidwa kuti Ambuye akukhululuka, ndipo tiyenera kukhululukira aliyense zina.
Pa chakudya chamadzulo cha Khrisimasi, panali zokambirana zambiri za chisomo cha Mulungu (apo ayi mwina sanatchulidwe kupatula Dalitso panthawi ya chakudya), ndi phunziro la kukhululuka ndi chikondi chophunzitsidwa ndi dalaivala ndi banja lake (adati anali woyimba wa Gospel ). Woyendetsa adakhala chitsanzo kwa munthu m'modzi makamaka pachakudya chamadzulo, kuti si Akhristu onse olemera omwe amakhala onyenga pambuyo pa ndalama (monga adanenera kale), koma amayenda ndi Ambuye.
Mnyamata wachichepere yemwe amapopa mafuta? Adauza abwana ake kuti "Ndikudziwa kuti ndachotsedwa ntchito."
Adayankha, "Mukapanda kubwera ku ntchito Lachinayi, mukhala."
Ngakhale sindine Mkhristu “wachuma” mwa njira ina iliyonse, lero ndichuma kale podziwa kuti Mulungu sataya mwayi uliwonse. Mukudziwa, ndimaganiza kuti "ndatha" kutumikira usiku womwewo pomwe ndimalota ndikuyaka nkhuni. Koma Mulungu ndiye nthawizonse "Pa".
Ayi, tiyenera kukhala mboni nthawi zonse, munyengo kapena kunja. Mtengo wa maapulo sumabala maapulo m'mawa okha, koma umakhala ukupatsa zipatso tsiku lonse.
Mkhristu nayenso ayenera khalani nthawi zonse.
Idasindikizidwa koyamba Disembala 30, 2006 ku Mawu A Tsopano.
Khrisimasi yabwino ndi yodala!
Kuti muyende ndi Mark in The Tsopano Mawu,
dinani pachikwangwani pansipa kuti Tumizani.
Imelo yanu sidzagawidwa ndi aliyense.
