He proposed to me - Its not what you think!!

I would like to send out love to you all that joined me in shouting out praises to God.

I am back, and have had a strange man call me, he has proposed, asked for my hand and wants me to be his wife - mother to nations. Come and listen to story - I know I have been out of the dating game for a while [seriously of no fault of mine], but shouldn't I been asked out on a date, wined and dined, the whole phones call shinanigans and can't live without them kinda feeling. This all in 1hr 13mins of conversation, which subsequently led to 7hrs 45mins conversation. I wont lie I was enjoying the talk.

You asked what happened. How did this thing happen again to life of a stranger. I must give him thumbs up for his boldness. This is how it started. My good friend [lets call him KC] was speaking to me online about his business, and was also prophesying into his life that this time next year he would be married. He had a pastor friend of his that sat next to him, who was visiting him at the time. The guy aparantly was very sucessful and into charity work, and as I sat talking to my friend the man came on the phone and introduces himself to me. The conversation was very short to say the least. I was mortified that someone was present and was listening to our conversation.

Anyways! my friend then asked if I could give him a few mins while he walks the man to his car. He comes back and says to me, "the guy really likes you, and hes just bought a brand new jeep; he'll buy one for you too", this friend of mine has a weird sense of humour, like I couldn't afford to buy myself a jeep. Well I thought that was the end of that line of conversation, only to come home today and who was it that calls, the guy that will buy me a jeep.

We spoke for a while I wasn't going to be rude, I felt he might have some words of wisdom for me. As I entertained his conversation it dawned on me that he was serious about getting to know me more and was hoping it would lead to you know what. I was like eermm..is it by force. The Lord did not tell me; I dont want to be that man of God from Judah [and we know what happened to the man of God]. This is the third time a total stranger has prophesed love and marriage like this. At least the second dude was lebanese, he once in a while visited my church, he was having dreams. You know the rest. He was disturbing my pastor at the time; and could not wait to be counselled, cause he couldn't handle it anymore. He tells me God told him that I was his wife. Serious tufiakwa..you dey craze..I fit look like lebanese to you..NONSENSE..LOL; but it was a very scarey time for me. People proposing left side and centre. At that time I had just come out of a serious relationship cause I found out the dude wanted to use me for papers..imagin..Its been dry on that front for a while. But a reputable pastor, life of a stranger dont suffer...

A reputable Pastor, okay. There's no harm in u guys getting to know each other. Keep the communication lines open. But what's all this jazz about buying u a Jeep? Did u beg him for one? I don't like it when a guy is trying to woo u with his material possesions. It's a complete turn off for me. Glad u're back from ur trip. Post a pix or something interesting from ur trip to Japan or u didn't go sightseeing at all? Have a wonderfully blessed weeek ahead.

Wow! V. interesting. If he is reputable, it's quite possible that it's true but then again, any smart man should know that a smart woman would never take a proposal from a stranger seriously. Great blog, by the way.

i came to welcome you back from your trip. hope you took pictures...if you dont want the jeep...kindly hand me the keys..i will accept the jeep on your behalf..but you can keep the proposal for yourself :-)

@bijou - girl I took some skyline pictures and some others, but erm I dont know how to download it on this space. Could you pls show me how. on the jeep front its my silly friend that started it all, and the guy was serious about buying me jeep. Like my eyes will glitter because of jeep. Have a highly favoured blessed week.
@ms may - exactly my thoughts. Especially a man of God, that has alot of congregation and my good friend says the fact that the guy heard a voice and was interested was unlike him. But seriously I didn't imagin it will be like this. My guy will spend serious money trying to woo me. Not this overnight love. Thanks for visiting my blog.
@diamond - thank you so much for the welcome. I havnt been able to keep my eyes open for a longer time. But ehn why dont you want the proposal. Maybe I should keep the jeep and you take the proposal. bwahahaha..LOL. But the guy seriously cought me off guard. I dont think his the one, but certain things he said about kingdom working really got me thinking.

the pastor once told a joke at church...years ago....one woman while praying was telling this guy...you are my husband...as in fervent in prayer...wagging finger and all...the guy replied in guy... You are not my wife..you are not my wife...

please..God brings the man to you but God allows you to recognize him. That should be your prayer. Did you read my Godly Relationship blog? In fact I think I need to update it

@ TLOASCM

U are actually owing me a mail, please, kindly reply my mail!

So u are selling like pepper?

Na waooooooooooooooo

Dont forget my post on Female Twist especially No 2.

kindly read it again ooooooo!

The question is not if he is reputable but if you see him aligning to your purpose. Forget about the externalities, look inward. it is only God that sees the inside of a man; ask him to open your eyes of understanding o.

I am expecting a reply to my mail o.

I say you get a pic before you start liking him...lol
superficial-- but eh! more phonecalls, and you just might find yourself liking him..

Now, if that isn't funny, I wonder what is. Like Overwhelmed naija babe said, this is too jokes.

Homeboy needs to enrol in Charisma School. Since when did a decent, Strong Black Woman begin to be bowled over by the promise of a Jeep. Duh!!! Someone should tell him that is a pretty lame line.

Your homeboy KC is crazy...lol

By the way, nice blog.

@ONB - if I catch you - LOL - your laugh is infectious - I'm even laughing myself.

@diamond - its true - them man actually got me thinking - I had been praying for a while for the Lord to settle me and the dude comes and says to me it appears that i dont want to settle - I was like the devil is a liar - said who - but I pray the Lord to open my eyes. Im tired of this fakeness.

@Londonbuki - My life is boring ooo - just the odd excitements.

@dipo - Im still thinking - eagerly awaits part 2 of your post

@belle - You think he will waste time - the man already sent me pic - hes not that bad looking - and hes already expressed and expressed - I blame myself for listening. But his ears are slightly out of place - but apart from that not so bad - but Im still not interested - no praying and fasting will turn me his way. LOL.

@luminus - thanks for visiting my blog. My thoughts exactly - I wasn't sure if the man was serious - I mean does he think I would take him seriously like I was one of those girls that desperately needed a husband. I would have thought he would have waited a few months - but in 1hr and so mins - kai - wonders shall never cease.

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@ONB - If I catch you --hheh - LOL

TMinx said...

Hey if God is for it then it will work out. Tell him what you want..he will go the extra mile is he is serious. And if not, you won't ever think what if.

I hope it works out according to the will of God.

As for the pics, click on the image tab at the top of the page when you are writing a new post. It will take you to a page where you can upload a pic. Let me know if it works for you.
