Serenaded by a Stranger

Okay, my day just ended with a wonderful bang. Oh thank you Lord!! I don't know what it was but it seems the Lord showed up for me in an unusual way since Monday and Tuesday were not so good.
I got up this morning and decided I was going to wear a skirt outfit (which I rarely do) with boots to work. I went out of my room and went up one floor to eat my complimentary breakfast. Only for me to find out that the lounge was closed and we were asked to eat at the restaurant on the ground floor.
It was a four star all you can eat breakfast buffet with fresh pineapples (not from a can), an assortment of breakfast meats and roasted potatoes and different juices. I should have known that today would be fabulous.
I drove to work and I decided to reach out to people to help with our little application at work. That went extremely well and for the first time we were able to test via automation. Honestly, you would have thought I just won the lottery. Let me backtrack a little. This certain project had been pushed backed/scrapped twice before I came on board last month and for it to work while I'm on the heel, is so great. Big ups to Baba God.
Later I got back to the hotel and our complimentary hotel mede mede turned out to be some pasta in marinara sauce and grilled chicken- It tasted great too. Usually they give us cheese and crackers and egg rolls and meatballs. Ah, I though my day just ended with a high note. But Baba God wasn't done with me yet. I say, when the Heavens rain, it rains down babanla showers!!
So I decided that I was going to fix the handle of my carry on which broke on my way here. After many calls requesting super glue(Hey, what’s a chick to do, I had to glue it back together now) from the maintenance guy, I went down stairs to get it myself- Only for him to tell me that there is no super glue BUT he will come up and try and help.
So, it turned out that He could actually screw it back together. AND while he was screwing it back I just innocently asked why he always seems jolly and he replied and said He tries to and it’s a great way to go through life---so why did the conversation turn to music and He serenaded me with "fly me to the moon" and "Somewhere over the rainbow"???AHHH, I was star struck just staring at this tall skinny dude with thick glasses with a fabulous, earth shattering tenor voice sing to me??? HA! I mean he went on and told me that he and a friend of his are putting together a cd of old school songs. He ended the conversation by saying "well, have a good night and I must say you are a beautiful Nigerian woman"- No kidding. Those were his words. I smiled and said Thank you and I believe I must have being on level nine in heaven.
Let’s just say my day is complete. Thank you lord and good night.

I just discovered your blog and read through it all. I have to say you are so right holding on to your innocense. I was bent on doing the same but got carried away with the person I was dating at the time...the relationship ended on a very bad note, hence I regret ever laying down with him....I am married today to my DH who is the only other man I've known...but I wish I had waited all the same. Stay strong and it is definitely the devil trying to sideline u from doing God's Will. Please don't give in. I love that you express your faith. God be with you.
