Tempest in Paradise Chapter Twenty-two [ Have fun with the sufferings]
Chapter Twenty-two [Have fun with the suffering]Ericka Mendel suffered an epileptic seizure while tending to the family's sheep in the farmhouse, which caused her to wake up early in the morning after a protracted soul voyage in fantasy land."You're okay now, my baby. We thank God that He spared your life for us, and we pledge to serve Him for the rest of our lives, along with our home.”As Ericka remembers her soul voyage and the man in the white robe who offered her to join Him in His realm, she simply nods merrily. She just said,"Mama, I already know what He wants us to do. He showed up on my voyage into deep sleep, but because he has given me a new lease on life, I should cherish it.”Ericka said, closing her eyes once more to resume her slumber. The doctor abruptly shows up and tells them that Ericka can leave the hospital as long as they pay the cost. As Ericka stands up, they have already verified that her health is okay and are handing her a prescription for health mainten

Chapter Twenty-three: [The inexperienced, naive friend]That late afternoon in Ericka Mendel's farm house, a conversation lasted an hour about the gift of faith that God's holy Spirit had sown in her heart, mind, and soul through her experiences fighting for life against death.The little Teddy boy's eyes began to close uncontrollably, but he still listened to her. All people react normally like this when they hear the powerful and active word of God for the first time. This word judges a person's mind and intentions and pierces the spirit and soul, joints, and bone marrow. Its sharpness is comparable to a double-edged sword.Even at this young age, when not much knowledge has been ingrained aside from his struggles accepting his mother's broken marriage and his sporadic interactions with his biological father, who lives apart from them, Teddy is willing to submit to the Heavenly Father, who is above all.He may have passed the point of no return since, although he is willing and full

Chapter Twenty-four [ The landmark] "What are you planning right now, and why do you appear so agitated and disturbed when you were just enjoying a nice, restful night's sleep here?”Teddy had intended to move the landmark to allow the nearby farm to expand their covered field. Ericka, on the other hand, expressed her joy at Teddy's inability to react to the concept in a different way."Really, humn!”Teddy becomes stunned and raises his hands to scratch his head, trying to convince her that he is not doing this with malice but rather that he is giving her family a few meters of extra land from her mother's family because he intends to join them in an emergency.Teddy would prefer to say,"In reality, I would like to bestow upon your family a few meters of more land that my mother seemed unwilling to relinquish since she longs to travel overseas with my father and remain there indefinitely." His eyes met hers as he awaited her response to his words.He adds,“I have to dig in my moth

Chapter Twenty-five: The intrinsic CapacityBecause no pertinent data or information from the educational system enters her brain, Ericka is asleep and can explore all the colorful imagination that might arise in her currently vacant mind.This caused her to become ignorant in the same way as Teddy, who is only five years old. But she is about to turn fourteen and is still unable to continue her education because of her previous unpredictable illness."Christmas Eve is nearing, my beloved."Mama Elaine said that she was taking a large, coiled bundle of green banana leaves that had already been cut off at the midrib when she abruptly appeared from the backyard."Mama, what are your plans?”When Ericka hears her mother talking about Christmas Eve, she unexpectedly and excitedly gets out of bed. She observed her with a large load. She hurries over to assist her, but as she does, her foot slips, and she suffers severe sprains without complaining. But she realized she couldn't mislead her

Chapter Twenty-six: The solitary days at HomeEricka is the only one left alone early on Christmas Day because she woke up so late. Her parents left earlyin the morning before the sun rose, so they wouldn't miss the Christmas church services and could stillmeet their distant relatives, whom they hadn't seen in a long time. Ericka missed seeing her godparentsalready because they moved to a distant place and she couldn't find out exactly where they were."I don't know why, because I wasn't with them last night, I have to take responsibility for clearing out the various leftovers from the party.”When Ericka saw those mounds of filthy utensils that the guests and family had been using throughout the day's Christmas festivities, she became upset.She felt a sudden unease and a sour taste in her stomach, prompting her to dash downstairs to the comfort room.Sadly, there isn't enough water in the large bucket to wash her filthy behind and flaunt it on this toilet.“How terrible! It reall

Chapter 27: [The charming smiles and positive attitude on life]After Christmas break, the three teenagers awoke early to the sound of the rooster crows from the farm house, along with their neighbor and best friend Teddy. Ericka was unable to move from her bamboo bed due to the swelling in her foot. She is screaming and groaning, the roaring wind competing with her, and voices are emerging in the tremulous, stammered sound.She continued, "John, Kuya Randy, Where Are Mama and Papa? Can you come help me get out of bed?" adding, "I needed help because I had to go downstairs to the comfort room for an emergency because I had bad foot soreness."Something uncomfortable and awkward seeps into her voice. As soon as Teddy heard her, he slowly got up from where he had been lying next to John and moved toward her bedroom with the door open.Ericka is writhing in excruciating pain and tries not to let anyone touch her hurting feet. Her normal foot follows the one that hurts as she slowly and g

Chapter Twenty-eight [ The Hatched Broods]“My darling, beautiful daughter, you must be restricted to this free ward!”Papa Ernest gives Ericka a serious look while flicking glances at Teddy and the man they were chatting excitedly with as they awaited Ericka's diagnostic results.“Papa, I no longer experience agony. Now that you're all home, I can go. There are no longer any good reasons to be imprisoned here; therefore, don't waste money, time, or effort on being here. All that's sprained on this foot is edema. It will all disappear tomorrow.”Ericka begs to go home while fixing her intense gaze on her father. Ernest, however, intervened abruptly and urged that Erika stay in the free ward, displaying the results of her leg fractures and the crack stitches on her right forehead.Ericka's face appears terrible as she notices the bandage tied to her forehead and gradually moves it around using her finger. She also feels some pain. Ericka finds herself feeling depressed, her eyes gettin

Chapter Twenty-nine [The predators and the whirlwind]With unclouded vision, Elaine observed the medium-sized creeping snakes that were causing the bamboo trunk stacks to collapse and their broods to vanish.“I now realize that they prey on my hens and pets at night when fewer people are around.”As they search for victims to consume, the predators are famished.“We failed to use smoke to drive them away and safeguard our livestock.”She raises her head in prayer, asking for protection over her food and money sources.“Lord, you have promised those who follow You to offer what is rightfully Yours instead of trying to get something else. We humbly beseech You in the name of an answered prayer, and we will present You our offerings as soon as we can, confident that You have safeguarded our land and resources for Your glory so that all people can know You, our God who saves and protects Your people in Jesus Christ. Amen.”Ernest remains nearby, continuing to investigate.“Now, honey, tho

Chapter Sixty-three [ The Lovers of mans’ soul]Ericka couldn't help that morning while she was in Teddy’s car with her family but thought after hearing about that sporting event from her male playmates that early morning. She recalled how they had taken her to the secret hideout where the majority of male army guys hid."When we play those wild deer games, you should dress like a man." Additionally, "they must not identify you as female. Otherwise, they will become attracted in you, Ericka. If we are together, we shall tag you as Eric."However, Ericka and John keep that secret from everyone because, to them, the incident is merely a part of rural life and nobody is interested."Everyone is too preoccupied with their problems to bother other people's lives when it isn't required." Her face turns gloomy adding,“My father would have to compensate them for their work on the farm if they needed help and support. "She even defends the workers' problems, and she smiles quietly while her

Chapter Sixty-two [ The secrets and conspiracies of man]When Ericka sees her male relatives, who are her uncles' sons, coming toward her, she simply sways her hands and body to fully appreciate the current moment.“It's time to play like a mountain and wild deer with our other childhood plaything. Would you like to join us? “ As he is trying to persuade her.”Ericka, this is a very lucky night when the full moon shines to provide us with lights."Roy, her cousin, eagerly extends an invitation to bring her, saying,“We may invite John and the other four boys of Uncle Johnny as well because their house is perfectly located for us to play hide-and-seek. We can go quickly across the higher mountain and down the valley with the little rill that divided the owner of the field to your farm.”Adding a few justifications,“Do you believe that even if it's a little slick when we get on, we may use the dry coconut midrib as a sled to go down the region, making it impossible for the person on th

Someone responds on their behalf so they are unaware that Ericka's other pals and the three little children are already absent.The teacher also observes that the three partners who make up Ericka's group have already vanished and that darkness has spread to both sides of the area. However, someone responds on their behalf, and there are more sounds coming from the woods."All right, seniors, look for your seven companions—Ericka, Alona, and Nesty, Vanessa and Rusty, Amelia, Jason, and Teddy and John—as they appear to be drifting away from us at this .Everyone yells and calls their names.Alona, Ericka, Vanessa, Amelia, Nesty, Rusty, James, Teddy, and John, where are you now?"Everyone yells and calls their names.Alona, Ericka, Vanessa, Amelia, Nesty, Rusty, James, Teddy, and John, where are you now?"Adding, “Calling, calling you all!

When everyone gets home, they all enjoy their meals and each other's company. They have a persistent mistrust about Ericka:"Why did nothing worse happen to her after an hour of submersion and why was she able to breathe like a fish?"Most of them lighten the tone of the interrogation by joking wi
Tempest in Paradise Chapter Fifty-nine [ Diving sharply and nose dive]
Chapter Fifty-nine [Diving Sharply and Nose Dive]It's a steep diving challenge for Ericka. She is currently focusing on how it operates while on the air. She is further able to recall her trainer's instructions:“When diving, you lift your two straight arms over your head and let gravity carry your body freely until you reach the water's surface.When you tilt your body upside down and concentrate on diving straight to the water's surface, with your fingertips touching the water's surface first, it can protect your head. Your hands should firmly focus with straight arms until your head, shoulders, and entire body reach and submerge the water.To reach the target underwater, your two powerful, firm hands extend overhead until your entire body flips over, shielding your head with your two long, powerful arms.Like a bird that is about to nosedive and swoop straight to the water's surface, Ericka doesn't care about anything else anymore and maintains the same body posture while doing so

Chapter Fifty-eight [The Challengers ]Darwin and Teddy, as well as John, are so amazed and feel awesome at how they warmly welcome them and provide all their needs.Thinking about what they brought as part of their share of the birthday treats, Ericka looks at John.“When everything we need is readily available and free, do we still need the ripe bananas and charcoal that we attempted to carry? All we have to do is write down what we want, and they will deliver it right away!"Darwin and Teddy concurred with delight, and Ericka laughed quietly."And observe! It appears that this waterfall tourist destination still has something intriguing to offer. It appears to be a centre of worship for our beloved God over there.The image of our Lord Jesus Christ is located in a man-made garden that is comparable to the Garden of Gethsemane, and the sky is open and glistening with lights as bright as the sun.”Ericka demonstrates as Alona and Neste approach them and join her, who appears to have

Chapter Fifty-seven [ The water falls]Ericka speaks softly, saying“God heard your plea and granted you a younger sister or brother, my dear Teddy. It is your responsibility to look after Mom and her child.” Darwin finds what Ericka mentions surprisingly.“I had no idea that my son wanted a brother or sister. He longs for a large family, which is why they view you both as his brothers and sisters.Darwin chuckles as he gives him a big hug and invites him to go home to prepare for tomorrow's event.“We shall be leaving her before eight in the morning, Kuya. It would be wise to exercise caution, advise Ate Natalia to get enough sleep, and offer our congratulations on the new life she has inside her womb. May God bless you!"Ericka says this before Darwin and Teddy cheerfully depart.They were all restless and anxious about the upcoming events tomorrow, so they were unable to get a good night's sleep that night. Teddy constantly asks her mother how she is feeling and kisses her while c

Chapter Fifty-six [Granted prayer request]"Sister, come with me! Since the sun is still waiting to set and allow the shadows of darkness to engulf the entire area, let's attempt to follow this path right now. Let's seize this chance. It's Thursday today and Friday tomorrow. One more day is available for us to explore and learn about the hidden areas close to our neighborhood and what awaits us at the end of this path trek.”When John says this, Ericka becomes intrigued and holds his hand as they eagerly go along the weedy trail. “Is it safe to bring this back to our residence, in your opinion? We could get lost in the process.”Adding,“It appears that only cars have been using this pathway for a very long time. John, which vehicle is coming in and using this path?"Since they never bring a weapon against silent intruders, John declines to respond and tells Ericka to keep quiet so as not to disturb any other living beings that may be there. He coiled a stiff vine after noticing it. Hi

Chapter Fifty-five [ Identifying the three cross pathways]In the back of her tired mind, Ericka thought sarcastically that those interesting boys were trying to get rid of her till she left the school grounds for a semester break.But Ericka also lacks peace because her parents are focused on staying in the rice fields all week long, and her female classmates are idle and bother her while she is thinking in the farmhouse. They cheerfully invited Ericka to join them for a gang visit to swim in a remote waterfall with her male classmates, and she couldn't say no. Ericka is aware that she will face new difficulties as the gang will undoubtedly watch to see which of the girls will draw the boys to the swimming competition.“No! Since nobody will be left to watch over our residence here, I am unable to go to such a swimming party!”As one friend responded, Ericka's eyes widened and turned round.“Because you have amazing dogs that faithfully bark occasionally when something moves around
