I hate that I always have to scold myself for being AWOL on my own blog BUT life as a leisure scribbler and a full time MBA student amongst other things just isn't that easy to juggle. However I have no excuse as my first semester is officially over....HOORAH!!! and since I ain't making the customary trip home *boo hoo*, I actually can get on with some bloggage :-)
Sooo tonight I'm in the mood for some deep banter after a rather wonderful and unexpected weekend of revelations and just good 'ol Scribblediva chilling. Yesterday I went to church for the first time in a loooooooooooong *tumbleweed moment* time...and I have to say, it felt jolly GOOD! There really is no place like "home". My favourite pastor did his thing and had his son in-law in tow...hmmmm I need to think of how best to phrase the rest of this post because seeing him was a revelation in itself. I really thought men of his calibre (in EVERY sense of the word) were now extinct. Ladies I have prayed long and hard for God to give me a hint, a glimpse, an idea, something if anything of what my future husband would look and act like and I think He finally came through on that prayer yesterday. The intent with which he listened to his father in-law, the look of respect, acknowledgement and understanding, the ease between them and the g-swag he had going on was just ridiculous. What I saw could only be heaven sent and I think I can sincerely say he is probably the best looking Nigerian dude I've seen in a WHILE like wow! Yet the humility was on point. Like he hadn't clocked enough brownie points, my brother enlightened me on the obstacles he faced before he finally settled down with my pastor's daughter, being born into a Muslim family et al. Hearing and seeing really makes believing a walk in the park. I've always known at the back of my mind and somewhere deep in my heart that I would marry right especially as marriage isn't necessarily what keeps me up at night lol (no thanks to my intense MBA programme) BUT more recently I have had some major doubts. As a firm believer in God, I believe yesterday's encounter was a much needed and well timed vision of what's to come.
I don't know about anyone else but great men still exist and I know my not-too-distant future husband is one of them :-)
Now time for some much needed indulgence....Gu Hot Chocolate Souffle......bellissima!
