Lately, “O” and I have not been spending as much time online with one another chatting due to life’s little obstacles and this absence, coupled with the distance has made our hearts grow so much fonder of one another.
I smiled with a grin as wide as the “Cheshire Cat” character from the Alice in Wonderland story when I read a Yahoo Instant Message “O” had sent me. The message read, “Get this in your brain and every part of your body….someone in Nigeria loves you dearly”. What a beautiful message. These simple things keep me loving this man, and I would not trade his love for the world.
As we chatted this morning, I confided in him that because my plans to travel to Nigeria in August 2008 would not manifest, I was a bit down hearted. My financial picture is not what I would like it to be now and it has played a big role in keeping me from traveling to Nigeria. “O” reminded me that we were destined to be together and as such, we would be together no matter what.
Lord, I ask, please continue to give me hope in the power of faith and destiny. I know that the gift you have with my name inscribed on it is for me and no one else. I thank you Lord for the manifestation of your goodness in the lives of my husband and I.
