Free The Veil by K. T. Richey Page B

remembered Amber said her family was spending the summer at their lake house. She prayed God protect her wherever she was.
    She shook off her vision and went into the IHOP and sat at a table near the window. After ordering, she reached into her purse and pulled out her itinerary for her trip to Daufuskie Island, off the coast of South Carolina. She was looking forward to vacationing alone. When she vacationed with Roger, they always went where he wanted to go. He never wanted to go more than two hours away from Atlanta. His idea of a romantic trip was going to Stone Mountain during the week when few tourists were there. She looked forward to relaxing on the island and enjoying the spa and beach there.
    â€œExcuse me. Are you Reverend Holloway?”
    â€œI’m Minister Holloway.” Misha looked up and saw a young lady standing in front of her.
    â€œYou preached at Mount Moriah a couple of months ago, for singles day. I go to Mount Moriah.”
    â€œHi. Are you with someone? Have a seat.”
    â€œI’m not going to take up your time. I wanted to tell you how you touched me that day. When you spoke, I was going through something and it was like you knew my situation. I wanted to thank you for being so honest with us. I’m doing better now. I listen to your CD over and over. It helps me out a lot.”
    â€œIt wasn’t me. It was God.”
    â€œYeah, but God used you to minister to me. Thank you. Well I better go. Enjoy your breakfast.”
    Misha watched the young lady walk away. She thanked God for using her to touch others. She prayed silently for God to use her as an instrument of deliverance for other people.
    After breakfast, Misha drove to the mall to do some shopping for her vacation. It seemed like every store she went in, she ran into Kingdom Faith people. Some of them acted like they didn’t know her. Others were glad to see her and wanted to fill her in on all the gossip in the church, including gossip about Roger. She wasn’t interested in hearing it and she tried to focus the conversation around her vacation.
    As she walked the aisle of stores, she spotted a beautiful sundress in one of the windows. She quickly went in and tried it on. She stepped out of the dressing room to get a better look at herself in the full-length mirror outside the door. She looked at the price tag. She smiled as she thought about how cheap Roger was and how he would have never allowed her to buy a dress so expensive. But, she was no longer with Roger and she liked the dress.
    â€œYou look really cute in that dress,” a woman said to her.
    â€œThank you.” She turned around and saw Pastor Deandrea Fuller standing behind her. “Pastor Fuller?” Misha was surprised to see her there. She thought guest speakers and their wives hung out with the host pastor after service. “Thank you. I was thinking about purchasing it. But, it’s a little too pricey for me. I enjoyed trying it on though.”
    â€œYou know my name. So what’s yours?” the tall, well-dressed woman said to her.
    â€œMisha. Misha Holloway. Your husband preached this morning. I made a special trip to the prayer breakfast only to hear him preach. He’s truly anointed.”
    â€œYou were at the breakfast? I see I’m not the only one who couldn’t wait to get to the mall. My husband knows I like to shop so he didn’t say anything when I told him I wasn’t going with him and the other ministers. So what are you shopping for?”
    â€œMy vacation. I’m going to Daufuskie Island.”
    â€œIn South Carolina? That’s where we got . . . Well I’ve been there and it’s nice. You’re going to enjoy it. That dress would be perfect for your trip. Why don’t you let me get it for you?”
    â€œYou, buy this dress for me? Oh, I can’t let you do that.” Misha shook her head. “It costs too much.”
    â€œGod blessed me to be a blessing to
