REGAINED - Gui Mwamba (book club suggestions txt) 📗

know what happened, but it God’s call for you to preach through music.” Romaine my father said.

  “B-but you said that I don’t even have a voice except for my sisters?

  And why didn’t God chose them to be His gospel singers, yet me? Additionally, why me?” I asked.

    “Guillaume in the Holy Bible, Moses didn’t know how to speak, but God chose him to deliver the children of Israel from bondage in Egypt.

    So are you, God has chosen you to be a prophet to preach the truth in music, therefore, there is no way you will say not to Him.

    Now go before you face the wrath of Him if you say no!” Said, my father.

    “Ugh, I can’t believe you guys. I need fresh air!” I said as I ran outside.

CHAPTER FIVE

                   “DIS OUI”

                

                “DIS OUI II”

Continually on Regained. “Guillaume!” Shilanda my mother called. “Mrs. Mwamba, let him.

  I guess he will be back.” Chris said. Chris Tomlin was still inside that evening, while I was in the backyard alone.

    When Nana walked up to me with my father.  “Guillaume, bro, may we have a word with you?

    And I am really sorry for putting you into this mess!” Nana apologized.

    As he and my father, both of them sat to both sides of me.

    “Guillaume, my son, I know that it’s going to be difficult to do God’s will but why won’t you give a tried by faith?

    Well, look at my son, I am a pastor back in Tucson. Just like you, you heard your mother saying every day that I used to refuse to be a pastor?” He replied.

    “Yeah, papa you did and it is fine, Nana. besides, if He really calls me then what choice do I have?” I asked them.

    “Nothing, son and please come back inside to say yes to God’s call,” Romaine my father answered as he marches back to the house with a smile.

“Yes, bro! I think it is a good idea that you are going to sing to the Lord.

    Using the talents that He gave you for His glory and I believe that with God by your side, you are the overcomer in Christ Jesus.

    Nana encouraged me with excitement. “Well, Nana, thank you, bro.

    But I don’t like the pleasure of this world when I am working and using my talents for God’s glory.

    Henceforth I have decided to go with Chris Tomlin so I might use my talents for God’s will.

    Because when the praises go up, His glory comes down.” I said.

    I stood up and quickly ran back inside. Discovering myself before Chris Tomlin and my parents while Nana remained outside with a smile on his face.

  “Guillaume, what’s going on? Who is chasing you?” My mother asked.

    “I am ready!” I said. “Ready for what?” Asked my father. “Well, to do God’s will, I mean God’s call.

    Yet as you can see I have just arrived, can we go to the studio for my album later?” I asked.

  “Sure, Gui, go have some rest and I will be waiting for you.

    Anyway, we are going tonight and my family can’t wait to me you.” Chris replied.

    “Yeah, I will glad to me them too,” I answered and walked to my room.

    After having a resting nap, I woke up and walked to the living room that’s night.

Chris Tomlin excitedly stood as I get closer to him. “So, Gui, are you ready?” I asked.

  “It already in the car, Guillaume. Now get the move and call us if you need any back up in your album, old man.” Said Constance.

    “What? Why you…? And I am not that old. Now hasta la vista baby!” I said.

    I marched away after saying farewell with Chris Tomlin who was right behind me.

    Elsewhere back to Chris Tomlin house, his wife and children were preparing some food as a welcoming party.

    “Ah, I can’t wait for this guy of the name, Gui, mama!” Ashlyn said.

    “So do I sister, mother,” said Madison who were now teenagers in high school.

    Outside while they were having a good conversation inside, we arrived before this humongous mansion.

  I was about to get out when Chris Tomlin hold my horses.

    “Gui, wait for a moment!” Chris Tomlin called. “What is it, Chris?” I asked.

    “Well, tomorrow there are going to be a music orientation at my daughters' Christian High School, would mind applying?

    Because in there, they are going to be musical and singing I quite go there as substitute music teacher and singer,” He asked.

    “Hm, let’s see- I would glad to, teacher,” I answered.

“Though I am twenty-three and a half I am writing this book as a sixteen-year-old.

  About six years ago where I got baptized by water and Holy Spirit in 2011, where my abilities of writing songs and stories began.

  I imagine in this story, as Chris Tomlin’s two daughters been as teenagers in high school.” I thought.

    “Uh, thank you and in meantime, you will be a gospel music legend in Christ the Lord.” Chris chuckled nervously.

  “Amen, I will do my best for His glory,” I said.  Laughing we both walked inside his gigantic house after we open the door.

  “We are home, honey,” Chris said and hugged his wife. “Welcome, dad.” Both of Ashlyn and Madison said.

  “Thank you, Ashlyn and Madison and everyone meet…”,  his sentence was shortened by them.

    “We know, we know, Gui!” All three of them said.  “Um, yes but he’s all full name is Guillaume Mwamba,” Chris introduced.

    “Right, Guillaume what a nice name and would you mind sing for us?

    Furthermore tomorrow morning we are having a musical orientation.” Ashlyn replied.

  “Whoa, whoa, Ashlyn calm down. Has you can see, Guillaume just arrived.” Interrupted Madison.

  “Thank you, Ashlyn, Madison, have heard about the musical orientation and I’d already agreed to attend,” I answered.

“Oh, I see,” Ashlyn said. I sat on the cushioned chair with everyone, to get ready to eat when I began singing.

  Because the song magically came to me where I began to sing beautifully.

  “Joy will come-o, joy will come, joy will come one day. Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, It might be tonight, it might be tomorrow.

    Oh-oh, joy will come one day. Joy will come-o, joy will come, joy will come one day.

    Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, It might be tonight, it might be tomorrow.

    Oh-oh, joy will come one day. My brethren don’t give up.

    Step up, step up, step up. Step up and praised the Lord.

    Oh-oh, step up and praised the Lord. For I know, joy will come one day.

    Joy will come-o, joy will come, joy will come one day. Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, It might be tonight, it might be tomorrow.

    Oh-oh, joy will come one day.  Joy will come-o, joy will come, joy will come one day.

    Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, It might be tonight, it might be tomorrow.

    Oh-oh, joy will come one day…”, I finished singing. Ashlyn, her younger sister, and mother were shocked to hear such awesome voice from me.

   

 

CHASPTER SIX

             “DIS OUI II”

                  

              “RÉUNIE”

“Wow, Guillaume, that’s mind-blowing,” Madison said. “Yeah, Madison is right, bravo that’s good!” Ashlyn replied in a boring way.

  “Guillaume, I didn’t know that you can sing like that?

  I was thinking that my husband would bring to our house, untalented singers.

  But you, you are so real and besides, I think you should join the musical school tomorrow,” said Lauren Chris Tomlin’s wife.

  “Oh, mom no, why all the sudden decision without telling us?

    Well, besides it is I who brought this news to you!” Ashlyn snapped.

    “Ashlyn, Ashlyn, what’s wrong with you? Additionally, I am the one who brought this orientation before our parents,” Madison argued.

  “Oh, y-you can’t talk to me that way!”Ashlyn snarled. “Why?” Asked Madison.

    “Because I am your senior.” She said. “Senior, indeed!

    Okay, my jealousy senior, why can’t you have respect to our new guest for a change?” Madison teased.

    “Why you…,” Ashlyn growled and was about to jump towards her but I shortened their fight.

“Both of you enough! And you Ashlyn don’t you dare fight your little sister in my presence.

    Anyway, I will attend the musical school orientation whether you like it or not.

  Ugh, excuse, I have lost my appetite, teacher. I have to go to my room.” I said.

  I stood up as quickly as I could and rushed to my new bedroom. It was a huge room having everything to sit on.

  For example, the luxurious sofas, and TV with all kinds of the channel was sitting on the glass table when I turned on to see it.

  ‘Hmm, Lord I can’t believe why is this happening to me.

  Help me Lord I need your stren…,’ my thought was interrupted by Mrs. Tomlin who knocked on my door and came in.

    “Guillaume, dear, are you alright?” Lauren asked. “Yes, Mrs. Tomlin, I am fine it's just that I lost my appetite,” I answered.

    “I know, son, and forgive of Ashlyn and Madison for their carrying away.

    So you must be patient with them.” Lauren replied.  “I know, I know and anyway Ashlyn and Madison are hilarious when they argued,” I said.

    “Yeah, I know! Lauren answered. She was sitting next to me then went to sit on the piano’s seat and began playing the song of “THIS IS MY DESIRE”.

    “Do you know this song I’m playing?” She asked. “I was about to answer something when she barged in.

“Mom, you can’t be serious?! Now you are playing this song to him?

  And you know that I sing this song every day when you play the piano.” Ashlyn interrupted.

    “Enough, Ashlyn and get out of this place. Go ahead Guillaume sing.” Lauren replied.

  “O-okay, Mrs. Tomlin. “This is my desire, to honor You. All I have within me, I give You praise.

    Lord I give You my heart, I give You my soul. I live for You alone.

    Every step I take, every moment on my way. Lord have you’re way in.

    I give you my heart, give you my soul...oh-oh. I give You my heart, I give You my soul.

    Lord have you’re way in me…,” I changed while Ashlyn glared at me with furious.

    “Why
