Singles’ Ministry--- Day 4
“I mean…this can’t all be in my head, can it? I know I haven’t been involved with anyone in a long time, but, I’m not dumb. He definitely likes me, right? Ugh, God this is too much, I need some answers…”

The day had finally arrived. Nadia was graduating from college…again. Nadia realized she had been putting life on hold and since her sister’s passing, she had been adamant that she was finished with waiting. Nadia had applied to and was accepted into graduate school. Thankfully, she was able to test into an accelerated program and after a year of hard work she was moments away from walking across the stage to get her Master of Education degree.
Nadia wasn’t able to get tickets for the entire Taylor family since the university gave each student six tickets for family and friends to watch the ceremony in the arena. That was okay though; those not in attendance could live stream the graduation, and Nadia’s parents were hosting a giant party to celebrate their eldest daughter later that evening.
Nadia’s heart was almost full, almost because more than anything she wished Nadira could be there to see her accomplish this feat. As kids, they spent many nights talking about their hopes and dreams. Growing up in the ‘hood didn’t afford many opportunities for success, but the sisters were determined to make something of themselves.
They were raised in a strict home, so there was little chance for the girls to get into much trouble. They were not allowed to attend parties, sleepovers, or any event in which both Joe and Jackie Taylor did not have a personal relationship with the parents of their daughters’ friends....
