If I shared my salvation story, you would marvel”
He told me about his family as well…
He’s the first born and the only boy in a family of 4 children.
Parents are in Nigeria with their second to the last born, who’s attending a Private University while the other two were abroad studying.
We continued our friendship but after a while, things started to change in me. Not sure how Folahan did it but I lost my peace and felt I had to give him an answer or continue to live with the burden. I felt like I owed someone money and had to pay it ASAP. I even joked with him that he had reported me to God.
So one day after work, as he was driving me home, I told him I had prayed about it and my answer was in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12. He pulled over, brought out a Bible from his safe and read it out loud
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
I told him that was the scripture that kept coming to my mind as I prayed about it.
He smiled, screamed “YES” while clenching his fist like someone that just won something. He then leaned over and gave me a peck on my left cheek.
“It feels good to finally call you my girlfriend”
I couldn’t help but blush.
