That night...
Joseph was just about to retire to bed when he got a call from one of his subodinates.
" Boss, Mr Edison is trying to make a move. "
" Let him... " He smirked before adding. " Then make him regret ever making a move. "
" Sure, Boss. "
" Good. " Joseph said as the call finally ended.
" Seems like you won't give up until there's no longer hope, Mr Edison. " Joseph thought.
Nevertheless, he won't deny that he was having a lot of fun toying with him.
But he felt... He had to be eliminated as soon as possible.

Days later,
The trio went on a picnic to the city beach to enjoy themselves before college resumption.
Mira and Evie were both putting on matching sun dresses while, Joseph was putting on a simple white top and Ash Pajamas pants.
" I wonder how college life would be like... Would it be more interesting than highschool or would it be less? " Evie thought out loud as they laid on the dry sand.
" Well... I am not so sure but from the books I have read, College life is said to be interesting and fun... But not as much as high school though. As a college student.. you are now in charge of your life and must make every decision after careful thinking, as you'll have to take on the consequences of every single decision you make.... Including the minute ones as when to arrive at lectures. "
" You are right... The freedom we got in highschool can't be bought back with money. "
" Indeed. "
" You girls are still so young so I wonder why you are thinking like adults already. " Joseph couldn't help commenting listening to the duo's conversation.
" Maybe... "
" We have to start thinking like young adults already, right? "
" Well... Perhaps. "
" By the way, Mira... Do you still plan on becoming a criminal lawyer? "
" Sure... That has always been my dream and I am not ready to give up on it anytime soon. "
" That's nice... Though lots of people aren't that lucky. They are quick to give up on their dreams when under pressure... And even the slightest pressure would make them to. "
" You are right... But I really think that if a dream is really inborn it would be very difficult to give up on. And even when one feels like giving up, Remembering what brought about that dream and desire would go a long way in retracing their steps. "
" Really? "
" Yeah... I have heard something like, inner motivation and outer motivation. As a writer, I sometimes get motivated to write better by what people think of my book... But other times, I get motivated by what I myself think of my book... Overtime I have come to realize that the outer motivation wears off with time... But the inner never will. It'd be there even when the sky gets darker and there's completely no reason to keep on going. "
" Um... "
" This reminds me of the topic on identity I read in an article recently. "
" Oh... Tell us about it, Jose... "
" Please. "
" Okay... I realized from reading that book on identity that as Christains, we should be different from the people of the world. We also shouldn't be afraid to stand out for what we believe in. We should run away from situations that would most likely make us compromise our faith as we can't be lukewarm! We are only allowed to be either cold or hot not lukewarm! Because if we are lukewarm... The creator would most likely spew us out of his mouth. "
" You are right. "
" As christains, we should also learn to see ourselves as God sees us and not as the world does... We should try to find our identity in the one who created us as it completely changes our whole perspective and view. "
" Indeed! "
" This is why, The song, " You say " by Lauren Diagle will always be my most favorite song. "
" Really? "
" Yeah... I particularly love the part where it said, * The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity. * This shows that what we or the world thinks of us doesn't actually matter, but only what the creator, the one who created and crafted us thinks matters a whole lot! We are just stewards after all and we most definitely will give account of everything we did with the life he gave us. "
" That makes me wonder why it's always very hard if not tough for some people who call themselves christains to surrender their all to the Lordship of the Lord Jesus Christ... Like seriously! "
" It doesn't make sense! God owns us all so isn't it stupid when a thing that was created refuses to surrender to the one who created it? "
" There's also no benefit in not surrendering as anything that goes against his Lord or maker is in for destruction. "
" You are right... But sadly... A lot of people are oblivious to this fact. "
" Indeed... And it's very saddening. "
The trio were quiet for some minutes, As they busied themselves with admiring the art of nature as enjoying the cool atmosphere.
" Guys... " Mira called their attention to herself. " I feel like we are the sound of revival the world has been waiting for. "
Silence fell amidst them after her voice landed as the duo digested her words carefully.
" I feel so too... " Evie sighed after a while.
" It's obvious isn't it? I believe God doesn't bring people together for no reason... He always has a very good reason for it. "
" You are right... He also doesn't call the qualified but actually qualifies the called. "
" Yeah... "
" Are you guys ready to be used by God in a greater way? " Joseph voice echoed in the surroundings.
" Yes! "
" We give ourselves away... So you can use us... Lord... " The sang out loud with their beautifully sonorous voices.
