Off to Atlanta!!!
So my spring break has started...heading to Atlanta to golf for a day or two (ok ok ok I miss my mummy too)...Anyway the excitement has subsided even before I take off....The saga has returned.
So this Sunday I didn't minister in church and as such showed up for just one service instead of the regular two services. I knew the Pastors were going to inundate me with questions and as such I chose to sit in a place where I could easily exit from the sanctuary after service. Well lets just say God being a Humour-filled God, decided to send an usher after me...before I knew it, I was sitting directly behind the choir...after service, I had to join them for prayer and before I knew what was going on, I had meetings scheduled with the Pastors.... Lets just say my meeting with the first two Pastors wasn't as worrisome as my conversation with the third pastor.
Conversation went something like this
Pastor: Miguellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Miguel: Pastorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Pastor: whats going on with you?
Miguel: Not a whole lot, still trying to make a decision on where I want to be post-MBA
Pastor: what options are you looking at now?
Miguel: India, Nigeria, stay back here or an offer out of state
Pastor: Cool. I trust you'll pick God's best for you...soo what is going on?
Miguel: nothing else just chilling and preparing for my trip to Atl
Pastor: Ok since you wont answer me directly...how are the ladies?
Miguel: em.. Pastor I am taking a break from my search to work on myself a bit more
Pastor: Work on what....noooo you've been working on yourself for too long now its time you work on her
Miguel: Pastor it's tough out there
Pastor: well if you'll just lower your chin a bit, I bet you'll see what is around you...Quit chasing a phantom.
Now his last comment hurt me... I truly don't think my expectations are ridiculous... I just believe when you are making a decision which could impact your life greatly, it's wise you seek out whats best for you...what is wrong in waiting to marry Naija's version of Gabrielle Union? whatttttttt? we just haven't met that's the only delay ...I am aware it could take forever to meet and if that's how long I have to wait, then I'll wait....any Gabrielle Unions out there? cough!
Each time I've had this type of conversation with pastors, my mum has always been the brain behind them. So as I head to Atlanta, I won't be shocked if she has another speech prepared for me... her classic is " Papa (my pet name), I received a word for you...It's your season to find your partner...the bible says he who finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtaineth favor from God"... I am normally quiet when she says this but this time I have something in-store for her...
"Mummy lets focus on the keyword "FINDS"". lol....man I feel a sharp look coming my way and a lot of bible passages.
Anyway I'll be out there for a couple of days....will keep y'all posted..............

God fearing too.. oh well...or is it british ones....anyways I will leave you to do your own search...like just holler for intro.

Plenti of Gabrielle Unions in the States now...the real problem is are you Morris Shestnut? (Did I hear my sistas say 'Ami'?)
No worry, you havent seen anything, you should try being a girl in her 20s, in the UK where there is a certified lack of saved, alright-looking brothas. My mum reminded me the other day that her Pastor's son was a virgin. See me see wahala!
