Singles' Ministry---Day 6
“Lord, what do I do when my faith and my feelings are telling me one thing, but reality is showing me something completely contrary…? I can’t help liking him, but at the same time, we’re on different pages. One minute we’re vibing and the next minute, with no warning, or reason, I am being ghosted for a week…there’s but so much a person can take before they just wash their hands of it all…”

Nadia was on cloud 9. She had been spending a lot of time getting to know Rob since her graduation party. She’d hosted a handful of events after the graduation party and every time, Rob was there. They had an unwritten pattern for getting together. She would text a group of loyal friends and family, announcing the latest social gathering. Rob would then text her, sometimes to tell her he was coming, other times he would text her the day of the party just to ask who would all be there. It never really mattered though because he’d show up two sometimes three hours after the party started anyway.
By that time, the house had cleared out and Rob would find himself chilling with some combination of Nadia, her cousins Mariah and India, his friend Vince, and Walt, Nadia’s cousin and Rob’s good friend. After the party, the group would sit and talk about life until well past midnight. Rob would always be the last person to leave. It was like he was waiting to be alone with Nadia. Unfortunately, by the time they got their one-on-one time it would be super late and they would have no more than twenty minutes to talk because either one or both he and Nadia would need to get to bed soon because they had to get up early for work.
Nadia didn’t mind so much; all that mattered was that she got to see and spend time with the man who managed to work his way into her heart. Nadia knew she wanted to see Rob more and spend as much time with him as possible, but his work schedule did not allow for much socializing outside of a group gathering here and there. Nadia would host a party once a month, if she could, as long as it meant she would catch a glimpse of that oh so handsome and ever funny Rob Keyes.
It was one of those days. Nadia was wrestling with her feelings for Rob. She did not like feeling like she was stuck in limbo. She needed some answers....
