Dear Sentinel

Yewande Akinola

After our exams, we had sport activities to occupy the time we spent in school. We were going to have a relay race, and my friend Tinuke and I had to represent our sport house. I had often shared a fact about God with her—like "You reflect God." Even though she had a stomachache, she decided to run. While we were deciding who should take the first lap, judging on who could run faster, my friend suddenly said, "Yewande, don't worry—you reflect God," and this meant that we reflected God's goodness, even in our racing skills. I was extremely glad Tinuke could be helped by what I had often said, and I gave her a big hug. We placed the second position in the race, and I can't remember her having the stomachache afterward.
