Is It A Taboo??

Hello Everyone!!!

So school has started and the hustle begins for me again, i.e, the pattern of closing from work and continuing to school resumes. In as much as I have missed most of my friends and mates at school, sitting in the warm classroom for hours gets on my nerves sometimes (I know someone might be saying right now "really?! Who told you to go to school and who will benefit from your graduation?! Just shut up and go to school!!! Just leave me to express myself o!!!)

Let me be kind enough to my school here, by telling you a little about it. You see, my school happens to be one of the best communication ( if not the over all best) schools in the country and it is affiliated to the nation's premier university (The University of Ghana, Legon). 

The school can boast of competent lectures and good faculties as well as air conditioned lecture halls (even though the air conditions do not really get to work properly most times). But trust me on this one people! Its one of the best. This is where I hope one of the school authorities get to read this post and see the good service I am rendering them, so they can tell Hon. Kojo Yankah (President of the school)  to reduce my fees or even give me the privilege of paying no fees at all (if only wishes were horses... who send me work?lol) But come to think of it, is this not a strategic form of marketing I am undertaking here..? lol.

Anyway, the reason for the question asked above (title of the post) has become very necessary because I have an aunty who is going through some unfortunate situation in her life presently, so I asked her to go seek help from the church where she fellowships and now, I have become the bad person in her eyes.

The thing is, she fellowships with one of the 'Big' churches here in the capital and she is a very active member too, as well as a church worker. But unfortunately for her, she's been having issues with her husband and they have come to the point where the only option left for her is divorce.  As a result of this development, she has to look for her own accommodation amongst other things. Not knowing how or which other way to help her out as I also have my own issues (sort of) to take care of, I asked her to go see her pastor and talk to him about it.

This is the side of the story my aunty doesn't understand, her reason being that of all options, why do I have to suggest a place like the church for her (why not the church..?). According to her, the church too has issues to manage and to that extent, it will be very unfair on her part to add up her own problems to the issues the church is already managing.

So then I ask! Are the churches not there to help us in times like this when there is a need? (i.e if they are in the position to?). Also was I wrong in asking her to go talk to her pastor about her issues and ask for help? (considering the fact that she is a church worker?). And also, at what point should devoted church members seek help from their various places of worship?

Please help me by answering some of the questions so my heart and mind can be at peace since my aunty is making me feel guilty of committing a taboo or something unthinkable. Thank you for reading.

Peace... I'm out.
