As low as morals have sunk, there are still a few of us doing the right thing”
“If you say so o…
So what do you guys do for fun?” Deola asked again
“Lots of things
Getting to know each other
Planning for the future
Praying for the future
Building romance and friendship
Knitting God into our relationship
Serving God together
We even have plans and steps for what year we will retire” I responded
“Wow!
That’s different
I covet your kind of relationship o
But it will be hard sha…
No sex? Not even small sex? Nothing at all?I go need God for that one o (I’ll need God to do that)”
“There will be s.ex, lots of s.ex…after the waiting period.
It will be meaningful, purposeful and based on love.
Nobody will feel used…instead; we will give ourselves to each other
We are learning to love God as individuals so we can love Him when we become one
We are building self-discipline; which is a vital constituent of trust in marriage.
Trust me Deola, it is worth the wait
You once showed me what you thought was best for me, but I found something better, allow me to show you the beauty of being in Christ.”
I could see that I had aroused her curiosity by what I shared…I brought out my Bible and shared some more. She couldn’t help but come with me to church the following day…in fact, she drove us to church and it was as if Pastor knew what we discussed all Saturday, his sermon was spot on. He talked about “Acknowledging God in all our ways”. In my mind I was like, “I hope Deola wouldn’t think I had discussed her with the pastor” and although she sat next to me, her attention was on the Pastor all through, she did not even turn around for once to look at me.
Deola cried her way to the front during the altar call and surrendered her life to Christ. My joy knew no bounds as I reflected on how I met Deola and how we lived in school. That God could use me to bring her back to Himself amazed me…I could not be happier.
That was how Deola surrendered all to God…
I had to drive us home; she was just crying…she was so broken that she decided to give up her job because of how she got it. I understand the doctrine of restitution to an extent but I didn’t think that was the right thing for her to do and I didn’t want to involve Folahan in this because of how Deola’s story connected to mine, so I called our Pastor and he came over with his wife.
