Rudolf pays a visit to Rhoda's relatives and inquiries about her. "Rhoda vanishes throughout her early pregnancy, and no one knows where she is but God," Rudolf's cousin observed as he returned to the saving house after sundown.
Rudolf felt horrified, then outraged, as he blamed himself for the aches he was now feeling after learning how he had wounded Rhoda by ignoring her during her pregnancy while he and Josie mocked and loved being together in bed day and night. "It's possible that Rhoda was enraged with me from the beginning of her stay with me,"
Rudolf speculates. "And she disliked me too much, that's why she refuses to contact me even when we're alone," he exclaimed as he searched for her and the child.
He searches the whole house for their belongings, but they are nowhere to be found. He feels terrible pains in his chest as if his heart’s bleeding excessively, as he imagines Rhoda's misery at the time he and Josie were undoubtedly in front of her eyes.When Sulema returned from work, she burst into tears and told him everything. The longer Rhoda and Baby Robert are out of Rudolf's sight, the more pain he feels.
Rhoda and her baby were driven to an unidentified place where she was given items to sell in a booth in order to earn and save money for her baby's needs while also assisting other street people."Where did your employer get them? I'm pretty sure I'm one of them at the moment! “Rudolf is afraid and guilty of his transgressions to his own family, as the gangster has informed them, and they continue to hide Rhoda and her baby from Rudolf, even on rainy days and in the summer, when he roves all over the place as long as there is land.
‘The Lord's unfailing love never runs out! We have been spared destruction thanks to his mercy. His faithfulness is amazing, and his mercies seem to come in new forms every day.’ “ Rhoda's decision to wait for Rudolf's responses and pay close attention to him remains unchanged after she read it from Lamentations 3:22-24 in the Old Testament Bible.
Rhoda is taken aback when she notices Rudolf's shadow in front of her while reading the bible. Both are overcome with anguish and tears as Rhoda's wounded heart heals from seeing him again and erasing all he has done in the past.
Rhoda recognizes Rudolf's past issues; she isn't looking for answers; all she wants is for their family to be together. "How come you've been so silent since then?" Rudolf inquires, seeking to hug her and her child. Rhoda refuses to talk and groans, and Rudolf, unable to bear his anguish, places himself near the infant.
"What do you expect from me?" Rhoda asks Rudolf while trying to control her outbursts. "But it's no use," Rhoda says, "because I think God has a reason for allowing this battle to pass between us, all I want now is to restore our family," Rhoda pauses and gasps for oxygen.
Chapter Five[Joyful mystery]They remained motionless after the enmity, hugging and clutching each other's hands tightly, both eyes filled with joyful tears. Despite the fact that Rudolf is well aware of the danger they are in, his eyes are filled with joy, enthusiasm, and awe. They're both apprehensive, but they're back together after all of these setbacks, this time in the gang boss's sales booth, which he's set up for her and her child. "All right, wife, I still love you, and I adore our child, and I miss you tremendously!" Rudolf said. "We must plan, and we pray that God will lead us to our objective." Following all of Rhoda's devastating revelations, Rudolf will quickly compromise her. Rudolf devises a number of technologies to lower the danger zone and improve all of the dangerous acts that threaten to rip their family apart once more. "Wife, where will you reside with our child?" "Rudolf inquires softly of Rhoda. "Of course, I'll stay in the safe house to rest with my baby,"
Chapter Six[The Journey] "Hey Honey, something odd inside my body seems unnoticed," Rhoda approached Rudolf as he held baby Robert” What’s new?"Rudolf inquires swiftly." A life-changing jump! "We'll go for a check-up once we're in a y they approached me with hunger and thirst for social injustice, and they continued fighting as activists against human rights violations," Rudolf explains as they approach the airways, Rhoda notices some gypsy outside the gate of the US camp. "I'm distracted once again by those street dwellers outside the gate, honey," Rudolf remarked turnings to urgent tut to her. "They're my fellow countrymen, but we've learned to be cautious of them, although they're pitiful, we take numerous precautionary measures to handle these matters with authority, Honey!" Rhoda changed while the rescuers listened and watched the gypsy. Someone recognized Rudolf's family, but Rhoda had already removed her camouflage as Rose."I wonder if they could recognize you as Rhoda now,"

Chapter Seven[ The testimony of God the great]It is great! Congratulations! "Doctor Glen turns to Rudolf and Rhoda and smiles, adding, "Where are you going this time?" "We were halfway home when my wife passed out!" Rudolf replied. "Come on baby, wake up!" he says as he turns to Robert. "Mommy!" Robert says as he moves his hand and body toward Rhoda, who is eager to embrace and hug him in her arms. "My little precious baby, I love you!" he sobbed. Rhoda exclaimed as she hugged Robert and Rudolf. "I would recommend that you have your family's health checked before you leave," Doctor Glen says, adding, "The pandemic problem has expanded internationally, there is an area declared in community quarantine, and everyone has been affected, including travelers." Rhoda is concerned: "Thank you, Doc, Glen! Do what's best for us!" "Honey," Rhoda says as she turns to Rudolf, “that was my concept a long time ago, and you required it for your health problems," Rhoda adds as he walks ahead for re
Chapter Eight[ The Isolation] It was dusk, the path walk was narrow, and the couple, Rudolf, who was carrying Robert in his full arm, seemed bewildered by the tragic pandemic situation, which Rhoda was also concerned about for her family's protection. "What are we going to do?"Rhoda asks. "What does God say?" Rudolf returns the questions to Rhoda softly. Rudolf approaches his wife with a good tone and attitude. Since Rudolf has been turning to her with inquiries, Rhoda has been quickly creeping into her thoughts on what God says in the Bible as she mentions,” ‘Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plan,' we pray, ‘Make me know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your courses' (Ps.25:4). God says, ‘Look carefully then how you walk, not as fools but as wise,'(Eph5:15), and as we continue to pray for His guidance, ‘So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.'(Ps 90:12), because, ‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise w
Chapter Nine [Lockdown] The military armed forces are never afraid of lockdowns or pandemics because their job is to defend the nation's constitution and protect the planet from dangerous attacks by invisible enemies. To be a part of isolated helpless humanity is a great insult for one rescued team member in case they plan to recruit Rudolf to join their forces while he stays inside the military bases in the country. They left after Rudolf and his family were taken into custody by a medical mission team from a US military base, who was in charge of checking out and protecting people's health and safety by taking appropriate precautions. "What are you thinking, honey?" they ask as they stroll. "Rudolf inquires."I'm thinking about our life in a pandemic lockdown situation," Rhoda responded."We'll be compelled to obey many times," Rudolf suggests."It'll be a boring situation for all people who used to work day and night as their lifestyle," Rhoda added."What do you usually do when you
Chapter Ten[Quarantine in the community] “As far as we're concerned, we all require food to exist, as well as to become healthy and strong in order to establish a robust immune system capable of combating the coronavirus, which originated in China.” the speaker of the meeting said. “I'm also considering how we can slip out and obtain our food,” Rhoda started adding, “given that we've already established that many of the people here are poor. US military personnel did not appear to be affected by the food scarcity.”Rhoda said. “We have already seen that the United States has been sending maintenance subsidies to American nationals and citizens like myself.” Rudolf explains adding, “you and our children are not yet eligible for the benefits and privileges that we enjoy from our federal government.”Rudolf slowly implies. “This is one of my primary objectives to bring you to the United States and apply for your green card,” Rudolf said.

"Yes, Sweetie," Rhoda responds quickly, adding,' For the Lord God says, 'For I know my plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' The Lord also declares,' Then you will call me and I will answer you,' says the Lord again.” as Rhoda ponders God’s message father and son look at each other nodding. Despite the loud honking of the law enforcement officer's roving patrol truck, which is hunting for people who have broken the curfew hours, Robert began eating his oats and Rudolf enjoyed the dinner that Rhoda prepares for them that evening. Rudolf seems to have a question for Rhoda. Rudolf asks quickly, "Do you want to tell me about your day with the fellow in the distribution area?" "You've been really qui
It's past half past midnight, and Rhoda is battling between life and death inside the emergency room. Rudolf has been watching her outside the glass partitions, waiting for the doctors' diagnostic results. His heart is racing. He appears unable to accept the loss of his beloved wife. He prays earnestly to God for compassion and mercy. He's thankful for having a wife like Rhoda and is so happy with her. He doesn't have any complaints about her. He's begging with supplication and requests for more extension of Rhoda's life. She's still young to go home. She still has many things to accomplish and people will be happy with her life as she shares it with them. "Oh God, Father Almighty, the Great Healer, heal Rhoda, my wife. I needed her and I love her so much," Rudolf cries, tears streaming down his beard Robert and Ruth rush towards him, teary-eyed. "How is Mommy, Dad?" Robert softly asks.

She promised not to leave us. I know how much mommy loves our daddy and us." Julia concluded as the car passed along the northern seacoast highway. "And I can't believe mommy ran away from their lovely nest. I'm just wondering why they separated to work in the mission field while leaving her as a couple of missionary pastors?" Carina's voice cracks as she talks with Andrea, who is busy dialing different contact numbers to check on their mother's whereabouts.

Chapter Forty-two[The Holy Anointing] It's getting back to normal." A new normal! " Rudolf smiles slightly. "The big barn crowded our backyard." He whispers while Rhoda fixes the beddings. "Now it's only an open meadow through the apple trees that remain. Would you like to visit our nest, honey?" Rudolf inquires of his wife "I need to finish fixing our children's rooms, honey. It would be best to do it now while they're all in school and Carina is sleeping. Why do you want us to go to the old barn house now?" She inquires. "I wanted to get your thoughts on my plan to use the barn house as our family chapel." Rudolf expresses. "I received word from our Senior Pastor Kris that the associates and elders are praying for my anointing as Assistant Senior Pastor of the Remnant Church of Christ and Ministry very soon.

"Finally, I have what I wanted all along through you, my darling babies. Now that you're presence is complete here," Rhoda says as she holds Carina in her arms. She strokes them one by one, embracing and kissing them with love and care. "It took me years to be with you. Although I can see you while I was unconsciously in my spiritual state and I was trying to speak with you while you were playing.

" Thank you, Mommy, but we can already manage to carry it all," Robert responds quickly, gasping, as they are all excited to face their classmates and teachers after the family's previous tribulations. "I'm really excited about returning to school. But for some reason, as the time approaches, the thought of panicking strikes me." Ruth exclaims as she turns her gaze towards her mother, who has been separated from them for a long time. "How would I cope with the loss of our dear mother, whom we adore?" "Don't jump to conclusions about past events that were unavoidable." Andrea quickly responded, "You also watch your word that daddy may not hear you.

Chapter Thirty-nine[God's unconditional love] Rhoda notices a man riding a donkey in the distance. As he approaches, she tosses her coat into the ground. Suddenly, she hears strange sounds. A man is cutting down fig tree branches because he has found no fruits on it and he is very hungry. Then she heard voices again. This time it was a woman's voice saying, "God sent you to me tonight!" Those are the parting words from the woman in front of her as she gets ready for her flight to somewhere she doesn't recognize. The man arrived in a white robe that sparkled like crystal white, but he was splattered with red blood all over his body. The man's eyes looked at her and said, "Come!
