I LOVE HIM


Part 9

"So, tell me about this guy you keep talking to on phone" Sarah asked

"Actually they are two. The first guy is the one I usually chat with but I can't say anything about him now and the second one is just a friend and his name is Nurudeen Ibrahim" Debby said

"Wow! Where and how did you meet? Sarah said

"I met him at an evangelism mission with my church back at Abeokuta where I attend fashion school" Debby said

"Hmmm and what have you done on your relationship with him? What do you both discuss and how is everything going between the two of you" Sarah asked.

"Hmm...Nothing much! I have been praying personally for him and we have been discussing about few things on Christianity and Islamic. Seriously sis, at first I didn't want to meet him o but I felt led to do that and now, I am glad I did so" Debby said

"Hmm..why did you say so? Sarah asked..

"I said that because when we began to chat, he asked some questions from me about God and I answered him. I was glad I was able to help him understand who actually God is compared to his thoughts" Debby said

"Hmmm...That's good. So do you love him? Sarah asked

" No...I just like him and concerning those calls, the reason why I answer them is because I don't want him to think I am one of those Christian he met. I want to make a difference" Debby said

"In what way? make me understand" Sarah said

"Okay, he told me that some of them, tend to leave him because he is a Muslim but it's not supposed to be like that because, even Jesus responded to both the Jews and Pharisees. We are not supposed to leave them" Debby said..

"Sweetheart, I understand you. I am not saying you should not talk to him and moreover, you can't blame those that left him. I am sure they have their reasons. 

My advice to you is to calm down so you don't miss the purpose of meeting him. Like you said, you felt led to share the gospel with him. My sister, stick to that purpose of being led and nothing more. Anything aside this, is your own selfish purpose and interest.

Set boundaries. This everyday calls might lead you to an unplanned journey. Know when to talk and also when to be silent. You might be doing your assignment well but the guy might have an hidden intention. Don't leave Christ out of the discussion, at least he is the purpose of the meeting. Know what to talk about and what not to.

So, I am not saying that you should not talk with him but do as being led. Do not try to force salvation on him and leave him to God as you have being led. Keep praying and trust God. Most importantly, when he calls, I want to speak with him" Sarah said 

"Thank you sister for this. I really appreciate. God bless you ma" Debby said

"You're always welcome and concerning the first guy, we will still discuss about him" Sarah said as she smiled

What have you learnt? So that we can learn from each other

Part 10 will be posted tomorrow by 9:00am

Stay with me as we journey together

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
