It was Easter Sunday, and I attended the 9am service alone, which was not normal for me. Usually the kids accompany me, but they happened to be serving that day. Sitting in front of me, were Melissa & Mateo. Melissa looked amazing, in her purple leather jacket (in honor of our Resurrected King!), and Mateo had an action figure in his hand. I welcomed them and said "Happy Easter Sunday!", and the conversations began...😳 She was beautiful! Her smile was beautiful! But more importantly, her worship of our Savior was beautiful‼️🙌 During worship, with eyes closed and hands raised, I felt someone looking at me. I opened my eyes to see Mateo looking at me. His toy had their arms and hands raised like mine. I smiled and thought, I love that he is paying attention! I begin to feel this urge to talk and know more about this God honoring woman, and her awesome son. BUT HOW⁉️ Honestly, there is not a cool bone in my body. Especially when it comes to taking the next step in getting a woman's number, but I kept feeling this push to make SOME kind of gesture. The service ended and as quickly as I could, I said " It was great meeting and talking with y'all. I would like to maybe talk with you more." I said this as I handed her my business card and quickly escaped! Leaving her standing there with my card, as Mateo looked up at her in confusion ‼️🤦 Little did I know, Melissa was on the final day of her 21 day Fast. Not just ANY fast either. A fast dedicated to her desire for kingdom marriage, no less! She was seeking the LORD for clarity, for wisdom, and for direction. And so it began...
