VISION OF LOVE 20/20

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">&#160; When God has a plan &amp; a purpose &amp; you're willing to let go &amp; let God...Blessings can begin to manifest in your life when you least expect it.&#160; Which is how our story begins... Jan. 20... The day that changed our tomorrow ...The day neither of us were looking for the other... The day the world was celebrating M.L.K....which is how we ended up in the same location anyway.&#160; It's funny to us now because I joke about us being there to celebrate the Dream speech but finding a dream come true in the process. So, here we are on a hot day, hanging with friends and yet to notice each other. Time passes, the sun goes down and in the process the temperature for some reason drops as well. Its cold and windy which is rare for South Florida. Now here I am standing in my leather coat and then up walks the woman that I would later call my Serenity.&#160; Here she is standing directly in front of me without a jacket mind you and its freezing.&#160; And honestly, I wasn't going to say anything because I didn't know her, plus she had that " I DON'T WANNA BE BOTHERED " look on her face...we men know that look, lol... so here I am trying to ignore her but something inside is pulling at me...ok, ok, fine...... Here's Me:&#160; "EXCUSE ME MISS, WOULD YOU LIKE MY JACKET, IT'S COLD?" Here's Her: "NO I'M FINE, EYES ROLL"&#160;...so I say ok, no problem... But then, there is this pulling in my stomach and a voice in my head. "WRAP YOUR JACKET AROUND HER AND TELL HER YOU NOT GOING TO LET HER FREEZE REGARDLESS IF SHE WANTS IT OR NOT" and so I listen, give her my jacket and then I leave because now my mind is on going to buy myself another jacket. So as I'm going from store to store. Unbeknownst&#160;to me the attitude within her had began to change. She went from I don't wanna be bothered, to who is this gentleman that offered me this romantic gesture. That now has her captivated and impressed. So from one person to the next, she's trying to describe me and see who knows me. Bingo! the first hint, her cousin says "oh his name Dwayne Johnson, (side note: he also tells her, "hey cuz&#160; he a good man")&#160; now she has a 1st name but wrong last name...so she's still looking for me...Bingo! a 2nd hint, my cousin says, Oh that's Chook brother who she actually knows. So, she hunts down my brother and explains that I gave her my jacket and disappeared. And that she was going to leave but wanted to give my jacket back. Chook says, keep it and give to me later...but she decides to wait a little longer because she wanted to&#160; give it back that night&#160; but also wanted to see me again...lucky for me. As I pull back up my brother and her cousin are boosting me up about her as if they knew something we didn't know. Because up until then I wasn't thinking beyond letting her use my jacket and still had no idea who she was or what she was doing when I left.&#160; But here we are standing face to face&#160; having a proper greeting. And as my mind is racing and it's feeling like the Holy Spirit is dancing inside my stomach, I ask if she would like to exchange numbers. I&#160; walk her to her car and we say our good bye's</p>
