It took only one look from my sister in Christ, Josie, to disconcert me. She was teaching the 5 and 6 year olds in the Sunday school, and very enthusiastically engaging one little child, when suddenly, as if in slow motion, she turned toward the window with a smile as I passed. I was undone. I lost my composure in the service for the next 10 minutes, thinking of how lovely, innocent, pure, joyful, peaceful, happy...oh yeah, and young, she looked.
I was lost in thoughts of how old I am, and how a young lady like Josie would ever become my girlfriend. I looked over at her parents and wondered for the umpteenth time how old they were. 55? That would put Josie at 25 to 30, but she looks much younger, more likely 23 to 25. I still remember that first time we met, and how she asked whether she knew me from high school. I am very young looking for my 35 years (I've been told as young as 25).
I know that the Lord can answer my prayers and give me this beatiful creature as my partner. I have to persevere in prayer and hope. I envision us being a Godly couple in all manner of church ministry, a Godly family of prayer, bible study, child bearing and rearing. Praise be to God.
