Unexpected

When the year began our church went on a fast for 48 days. During that time we abstained from certain foods and we read the Bible daily. It was an interesting task for me to say the least and I endured til the end. This fast was super important to me because I had gotten hurt badly the previous year and I wanted better for myself. I needed to get me together this year.

 

After the fast I was contacted by a guy I knew from years ago. I remember when he reached out I thought, "He wants to be in contact with me?" And yes, I texted my one of my girlfriends because the guy and I were never cool, we were cordial but not cool. I lightweight struggled with him reaching out to me.

 

So, I took a chance. In my mind I could only question, "What does he want?" "What now?" Because once you go through some stuff everybody is suspect. The first time I saw him it was both awkward and fun. It was weird trying to figure out the social cues with him. Although he's easy on the eyes that's not what this is.

 

Looking over the past few months my friend, we're friends now lol, has been more than I could have ever expected. I write these things but I won't tell him but I'll send him the link. Go figure.

 

We don't talk on the phone or see each other regularly but he cares for me in a way that I believe pleases God. Often, I awake to messages that are God centered and speak to what I'm going through. I don't have to respond either they are simply for me to read or listen to. A couple of those videos I listen to over and over again.

 

Some mornings when I can't sleep instead of going to Fb or IG, I go to the Bible app and he's on there too. I believe that our friendship is vibrational. I can text him or email him at any hour of the night and it doesn't turn into anything inappropriate. I so thank God for that.

 

I remember one day I told him how much I appreciated him. His response was that he was simply being obedient to send to me what God had showed him to send. All I had was, "Wow!"

 

Had I not went through the fast I don't know if I would have been prepared for something so awesome, so unexpected, so simply beautiful.

 

For that I'm thankful.
