No serious gist - just Dilema

So seing as I have no gist - and though there has been alot that has happened, trying to put them together has been a very challenging task. So here I am seeking out my christian blog friends to pray for life of a stranger. I say this becasue I thought you all ought to know the developments on the 'jeep guy' front.

So the guy has taken it upon himself to harrass me morning noon and night, at work, at home, in bed, asleep, even in the Loo. The point is he sounds sooo good and helpless, so yeye life of a stranger cant even say - leave my life alone - to the guy. In fact I sort of look forward to his harrassments (let me tell the truth - the truth shall set me free). Most of our conversations is normally about how he will give me a happy home, and how he will spend the rest of his life making me happy, and how I will be an envy of every married woman and how he has stopped at his bus stop and is not moving again. I dont mean to brag - But I know I got it all - Looks, intelligence, financially stability, and most Importantly GOD. So none of all his raps about complimenting me will work, cause I know I got it. LOL - But on a serious note, his sweet talk is working, I no go lie - He has proposed officially now with an $18,000 platinum diamond ring (for all those who know about this type of things - is this too cheap - LOL - kai I never said I will accept - see your looks - kai)

But here are the pitfalls - He is not a medical doctor - you know a heart surgeon; His only qualification is masters in Theology and an honorary doctorate in theology - It would have been nice if he had a doctorate in medicine - you know - He's not 6ft 3inches, so my sons might be average like me LOL - (I will come back and propogate this list) - Seriously he is a strange man, in terms of I dont know who is he - yes I know thats what the getting to know him is all about but who are his friends - who is jeep guy??

I am so convinced that he is not the one cause of the manner in which he came and have not bothered to put him in prayers - I mean why waste useful prayer time - but my people I want to tell the truth, he has begun to wear me down. Even that my friend KC has started to say that I, a whole life of a stranger is no longer available on the market, that I don go umahia. Imagin. What arrant nonsence.

Please pray for Life of a stranger - this distractions must stop - this harrassments must stop (even if it will affect my ego) - Pray for the peace of mind for everyone especially jeep guy. Maybe its about time I stop treating this as a joke - its like its very very serious - how did this all happen - na lie I no go marry this man. Hm - I have already told God.

Girl..thanks so much for the words of encouragement... thank you, thank you, thank you! Yes ooo... you better believe i am in a period of prayer...!

As per Jeep dude...
hold up! i'm confused! He proposed officially? As in he offered you the ring? How did the cost of the ring come up? 18000 is not bad at all...infact thats more expensive that most i've seen.

I agree.. you need to take this more seriously...especially since you are starting to feel "something". It kind of bothers me that you don't feel like you really know him? Perhaps its time to ask him to slow his roll and get to know you as a friend? Thats truly the best way into a womans heart...in'it? I believe in marrying someone who will be your best friend.

Hmmm... it will be tres interesting to see how this plays out! Keep us posted..

... and did i hear u say there's no gist, ehn aunty LOASCM? This is sizzling gist, but we need to do serious prayers o as in take it to Baba God quick quick, no more a laughing matter. Are u for real, when u say he has proposed with a $18000 diamond ring? The man is serious o as in, no time for playing, abi aunty u still wan play small? So u wanted ur prince charming to be a cardiologist, a >/= 6 footer? But, if i may ask, apart from all the things u listed, which are physical stuff, do u find urself attracted to this man? From what u wrote, he seems like a good guy and best of all, a man of the word it also seems u like him, but u're refusing to admit it to urself. Why? I dunno. Anyways, i'd include u on my list of friends i pray for. BTW, what discipline is ur Ph.D in?

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@belle - I am begining to take this seriously - the cost of the ring came into question when he was using wisdom to find out in my opinion what makes a stone expensive - as you know I was clueless - and there it was the cost -
@Bijoux - you are using style to get me to admit to myself that I like this guy - its a lie - I was hoping for all drama that comes with new relationship - the man just went and spoilt it all - by fastforwarding everything - I shant lie - he really is OK - but mbanu - He has to be a heart surgeon -
So in trying to answer your PH. D question - technically I have no discipline -
My First Degree is in Pharmacy (without the Clinical aspects) and the Ph.D is in Systems BIology - Use of Chemistry, Physics, mathematics and computational tools to study biological systems - My Thesis was in cancer research and I am currently working on developing tools for reducing high throuput biological data - looking at networks - its all relative - so technically I have no discipline - But we are creating this field as one.

Corri S. said...

Wow! This dude really went full speed ahead. Did he propose officially, as in popping the question with the ring in tow? Also, did you skips some parts now? (wink) When did you meet up with him to see him in person? Have you guys been spending anytime together?

I think you should ask this man where all of this is coming from. Assuming God really did tell him that you're to be his wife, he needs to use some common sense. You can't just "meet" someone and spring that on them. THere's a natural porgression to things, so if he really wants you, he should be willing to take it easy. For all he knows, he could be crazy!

And it seems as if he's trying to buy you with all of the Jeep and $18,000 ring stuff.

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@mosaic - yeah I can hear the jokes now - where did he get the money to purchase the ring - yeah - from the tithes account - bwahah - ok ok ok - I am serious - I did not miss out any stories trust you to pick on it - Like I said in my previous blog (see Im defending him already) - my usefull friend KC (see how I tried to cus him out) - started the whole jeep affair hence why it stuck - He has told me about his finances and what he really is about - I guess my thing is the natural progression - I need prayers to start taking this seriously - I just cant believe for the Life of me that a real pastor will want me to marrry imagin - that work is on a different scale-

I'd say wait a while. He might not have seen your 'other side' and you might not have seen his. I've always believed the only good relationship is one in which the two partners have quarrelled and made up -- there's going to be a lot of that in married life.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@azuka - we have had our first quarrel already - but Im impressed the way he handled it - but I hear you - Im listening -

Miguel said...

@LOASCM- na you biko. Take your time, get to know the guy (hear whos talking...lol) ...

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@miguel - small thing I for pick fight with you - I was giving you till tomorrow to comment on my blog - upon all this dilema - you no fit offer advice - but Ive cooled down small for you.

Miguel said...

lol...Seriously though how many cardiologists are out there..man u medical peeps una too do..ah ah the guy is a Dr. Doctor of Theology... were you specific when you prayed to God or you just said God please i want to marry a doctor? God never disappoints... i tell people he has a great sense of humour.

Anonymous said...

I am not saying anything o, me just like happy endings.

LondonBuki said...

Wow... that was really quick!

Keep on praying oh and we will pray for you too...

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@miguel - i looks like u (of all people)have accepted this man - I say its a lie - I asked God for Doctor - He knows the one I want - I didn't ask for doctor of papers - anyways he has cooled down for me now - I think His thing he doesnt believe in long courtship - me neither - but let me hear - RIGHT!!
@Temmy - so you too - you think this will be happy ending - Amen oo - my heart surgeon will happen - I know the God I serve.
@LondonB - Ive started putting it in prayers- There are more important things to pray for - which includes God sending that man that will manage the Favour of the Lord upon mylife -

Anonymous said...

Hey, TLOASCM, I loved this post because I could totally relate. Especially on not wanting to waste my valuable prayer time... lol. But like other people have said, I think you should just give things some time. As you said, you don't know him. It is difficult getting such people to slow down, but if he's really interested, he will.. and you'll have time to really be sure about whether he's the one or not.

Anonymous said...

i can't believe you dont like this guy simply because he is not a medical doctor? Are you for real?

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@daddy's girl - I fully understand what you say - and after alot of yabbing from my end and long talks - he has decided to slow down - even though he say things like - I don marry you finish - no problem -
@annon - than$sk for the input - but as you can see from my previous posts there are items of lack of seriousness on my part - obvioulsy who Am I to turn down a man if it is the Will Of the Lord - As I have said in my post - my main prob - is NOT KNOWING HIM - Get with the program anon -

NaijaBloke said...

TLOASCM ... na wah o..So jeep pastor guy dan finally catch u for corner.No be Pastor u call am,buying $18000 ..LOL@ Masters In Theology .. Men am so waiting for when my wife will propose to me ..Duh "what a man can do a woman can do better" abi ..so she has to prove it o..

Vera Ezimora said...

Life of a stranger?

He proposed with an $18, 000 ring? HOW CHEAP!!!

Gal, send me that ring lemme see it myself. Ah ah, can you imagine him proposing with such a cheap ring. Send it 2 me lemme throw it in2 River Niger immediately!

Chei!

Don't waste time o! Send it, and I will get rid of it for you. Just be glad I stumbled on your blog and came 2 ur rescue. Wat would u have done without me, ehn?

Anonymous said...

Wow, I have not had such a good laugh in a long time.

But seriously, I really need to know you to make the right comment.

The medical doctor and height thingy raises a lot of question on your values. I was just thinking of Paul the apostle who was highly read, has double citizenship, was very zealous in his quest but when Jesus was interested in using him for his gospel, he had to appear to him personally and blind his eyes in order to humble him.

I hope you dont have to undergo the same thing but like I said i dont know u at all, so i cant judge accurately.

But dear, u still have refused to give me what I need from you. I am tired of waiting, so the offer is off dear. Thanx for exchanging mails........

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@ONB - he is very serious - shame he's trying to get this unserious babe - anyways, I have started to take stock of everything and Im back to serious mode now.
@NB- I ask for prayers now - but Im still trying to know him - he's not just a pastor - he's also an entrepa - who is serious about what he wants -
@Vera Vera - shey its cheap - I thought so (LOL)- but its OK - I'll tell him to keep it for now - for if I ever accept - And you know seing as its so cheap it'll be way too embarassing to send it to you to throw away for me -LOL

oga dipo - who invited you (LOL)- there are things we want, and we try and limit God in our requests - but I know that I will be a fool to tell God this is how it is to be Done - I have aired out dudes Limitations all in my quest for making sure I dont accept him - the false - however how insane is what Im going on - You want me to confuse myself abi - it will not work for you -
But as I watched this INSP network last night (as I always do) I saw all this theologian - exeprts in their field of the bible and it dawned on me that dude may not be an expert in medicine but he is an expert in the most important book- doesnt mean I like him anymore - but it is becoming harder to say no -

so what Im I doing now - Im refusing to take his calls - but he still catches me when Im asleep at night and everymorning to rise to pray - this dude na wa o. You see I need to hear who is speaking and I know the more I listen to him (dude )the more I'll miss HIM (God) -
-

Seing as the offer is of - I will now reply your mail - I was still thinking about it - and you have helped with my decision.

Anonymous said...

Girl, o jare - $18,000 na small...is the ring a flawless diamond....na VVS stone? LOL. Just kidding o! It does seem like you're falling for him just a little bit but you're right...you need to really take the time to hear what God is saying to you and most times HIS is the hardest voice to hear. Good Luck O! And man, you really have your thing together....go girl!

Funmi said...

Hey girl remember when something is too good to be true it mos probably isn't true anyway! U need to pray about this fast, this one that he is 'wearing u down'......best of luck

Anonymous said...

You are not going to kill me with laughter.....

So now that the offer is off, you will now reply my mail. Very funny, very very funny; I am kind of liking u sha - you are coool.

It seems you know what u are doing, so best of God's grace.....

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@MsMay - thats so it - I really am trying; you wont believe the lengths I I have to go through.
@funmi - its so true; God help me - I need serious GRACE.
@dipo - aah oga dipo, before nko - no problem even self - I have just replied - I really need the best of God's grace. Amen.

Naijadude said...

Hmm...what can I say? Why are you being hard now? Anyways if all that is true, yo! we just gotta let it be, everyone is a stranger, and we just have to let down our guards and get to know them. Proposing without knowing him ke? Abegi take a back seat, sip some water and tell him to cool down!

I think its more responsible for you to say you wanna get to know him before some committment into an eternal thing, else you join the 'statistics' of divorce, just take it easy my sister! Life sweet pass that one o

Anthony Arojojoye said...

Iro lo pa! You must marry him by force! Bee ni!
Do you know how much time & energy the guy has put into it? This mustn't become abandoned project.
Why do you want a medical doctor? DO you want to be fallen ill every time? Abi na free treatment u dey think of?
Remember say 'awuf dey turn belle' oh.

Shine your eye sha.

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@Nijadude - as always your comments are welcomed - I know you understand me.
@arojojoye - see your mouth - LOL - OK I still pray for my heart surgeon - but I still as Your Will not Mine - see you.

Unknown said...

$18,000 cheap? As in Eighteen Thousand Dollars? Is there some kind of joke here that I'm not getting?

Babes, If he's proposed, the important question is do you like him enough to live with him for the resto fo ur life? Divorce no dey my dictionary oh!! You'll wear the shoe and only you will know where it pinches. I say follow ur heart - or ur head. LOL

TMinx said...

My take on it...You guys should court since he has proposed marriage. Get to know each other a little. You might just like what you see. The person we have planned in our minds will not be who we end up with especially the physical stuff..Look within.

Anonymous said...

Hi. love ur blog.
I think if he seriously wants to marry u, then he should be ready to take it slow why u get to know each other..like do u knw how he reacts wen angry at people, how he interacts with people around, does he snore(lol).
Anyway u really need to pray about it, i believe God will speak to you.
Also about ur heart surgeon, r u sure God will not send someone to u who deals very well with issues of the heart..but not a heart surgeon on paper...lol

Anonymous said...

EIGHTEEN GRAND...dat is cheap sha, it's so cheap I think you should accept it, den tell him it's off, keep the ring and sell it and buy all of us on blogspot dinner!

you see how we support you?

;)

I love that you are sticking to your standards. Stay strong, a man that fulfills your very desire will come and that is what you deserve! dont settle ohh
