By Her - July, Sydney

So the story goes on ... dated back in July 08.


They were in the phase of getting to know each other. He had put in a lot a lot of effort to impress the girl, like feeding the powerbox with yummy cakes, like making scones for her, like cooking for her, like sending her sms-es, like dropping her emails, like insisting on sending her to work when her garage was blocked by her neighbour's car etc etc.


Inspite of all her effort to push him away, she actually didnt really want him to go away.


He said, ' I will defend you even against myself.'


He knew where he stood. He advanced when it was right , he stopped when he was not invited. He was very clever and sensitive.


She went to Sydney to visit her mom and sis. She kept telling them about him. Her sister said 'Someone has obviously fallen in love with this man....'


Oh really? Does she like him??? NOOOOOOO wayyy....!


She did not like this at all. The Phantom of the Opera was playing , sitting in the theatre, she could not enjoy the show at all...All she thought about was him. She did not like being out of control.


The 'voices' in her mind told her to get rid of this intruder.


The trip to Sydney did not end very well when some family issue arose...it was mainly about her mom being kinda against her belief in Christ. She felt compressed.


And he rang at a very wrong time, asking her to join him in prayer on the phone. She was like , ' I am not your girlfriend, we are not that close yet,I dun wanna give u the wrong impression that we are in a relationship by joining you in your prayer. Can't you pray by yourself....'


She was annoyed by the whole situation...he rang, and she ignored the multiple calls...she did that many times anyway.


He left her a long voicemail and a song . 'God is able' .
She smiled again. Silly man. His voice was amazing.


She wished she could save that voicemail for a long long long long time.

She came back to Adelaide with her mom and sis. Family issues were solved.


Her mom was very curious about this man that her daughter kept talking about. The mom finally met him at church, this man who stood quietly next to her. Her mom was very unsubtle about this, she gave her a very big sheepish smile, thumb's up , and kept nodding her head.
She was drooling over this potential future son-in-law.


She knew what her mom was thinking....' Go ahead! Go ahead! He seems like a good boy.'


Her mom came out with the lamest excuse to invite him to her house. Guess what she did...she invited him over to show her daughter how to operate the coffee machine that he passed on to her, before he relocated to Melbourne.


Her mom was never too excited about her daughter's relationships, but this time she was very positive about him.


How so? Is he really the one for her?


If he wasn't , why was her mom so supportive of him?
