As I write this post I can still recall how fast my heart beat seeing you in that blue Jean and T-shirt. Immediately the air conditioning system in the room was not enough; I began to sweat. l tried to type more words; my fingers betrayed me there and there.
So I stood up and decided to follow my heart beat... I remember saying something that sounded like "Hello..." not the Adele's Hello though... π
Somehow we exchanged pleasantries and as a rule I INTENTIONALLY didn't go straight to the point or even ask for your number.
We parted as I prayed to the Lord for a replay of that day...
That week Funmi came to visit me, and somehow I felt I should see her off to her house and at least have a break off my regular boring routine that entails me staying indoors to write more chapters of my book. To my surprise you were her roommate...
Jeezz you again... I felt the same heart beat... Immediately I knew this was the Lord saying "Paul, Point and Kill", but unlike Peter in the Bible I didn't argue, I obey the call of God upon my life.
πππππππ
So I told Funmi while she saw me off;
"Hey... I like what I saw, so I would use you as an excuse to always visit... But between you and I, this is my goal"
So that was how I became an Evangelist; I had only ONE SOUL to win for the Lord, it was you.
February 14, 2014 I decided to declare my mission statement. I spent hours preparing like I had an interview with God. I remember coming back from a trip that day, I was on the high way and the vehicle was running as fast as it could with all windows wide opened. Baby, that didn't stop me from sweating profusely like a Christmas goat. Concerned passengers were like "bros, why you dey sweat." I lied, I said maybe it's because I'm wearing a black top and sitting in the middle.
Long story short, I got to your place that day and popped the question with the very best words I could craft, I didn't even bother beating around the bush, I went straight to the point...
Baby you broke my heart when you said NO... Jeezzzz... I died there on the spot...
But as usual, things like that have over time being my motivation. So I kept waiting while we remained "friends."
Fast forward somewhere in the early months of 2015 I finally got a GREEN LIGHT after several BLOOD RED - Red Lights... ππππ
Okay, i think I've said so much here... let me stop before I turn to a story teller like Enny Cole or Tobi. ππππ
So as it is said;
"Where your heart is, there and there lies your treasure"
With you is where my heart lies and that simultaneously makes you my precious Jewel.
I LOVE you LA. πππ
Happy Birthday LA,
You're the best.
Can we cut the cake now please !!!
