Are You Two in a Relationship?

A prayer after wine

Dear God, 

Pardon me for taking up your time for I am poor and needy. You are my help and my deliverer, you are the God. I tried to do it my way without your help. I failed every time. The reason I eat every day is because you supply me with manna, and most importantly mercy.

I’m humbly coming to you for wisdom. Basically, I met this woman. Her name is Rebecca but her friends call her Becca. I’m sure you heard of her, of course, she’s your creation, made in your image. The problem isn't whether you two have heard of each other, it’s a matter of relationship. Do you know her intimately? Can you answer that for me?

I met her at this wine tasting event which is funny because you, God, know a thing or two about good wine. 

While I was at the event a bottle of French wine caught my eye, it was affordable too. A Bordeaux Superior if I recall. I asked the man behind the table for a sample. I’m sure you know him, he’s a brother like me. I mean, I think he is. He has a tattoo of a cross under his right eye.

Anywho, I’m getting off topic. As soon as I drank the wine my stomach rumbled and my head started pounding. The brother immediately noticed, I don’t know how, you know me, I have an impressive poker face but he took one good look at me and said:

“Rookie mistake drinking on an empty stomach. Go eat something gang, there’s a food stand over there”

That’s when she appeared! She was wearing these blue 501 Levi’s, a brown leather jacket, brown penny loafers, and gold hoop earrings. Her hair is short and wavy, it’s in a pixie cut. She has these siren eyes, the type that look right through you, honey brown, just like her skin. Her first words to me were:

“Here, have my burger, I’m not hungry"

She said this while shoving the burger in my mouth, it was more like a command than a suggestion. After I took a bite she practically forced water down my throat. Now Lord, I know you blessed me with enough wisdom than that. I know, I know. I shouldn’t have taken food from a stranger. But sometimes I have no sense. Well, I already ate the food so I decided to make the best out of an awkward situation.

“That’s strange” I said

“What do you mean?” She said with curiosity and a hint of an attitude.

“God clearly sent me an angel but I don’t see wings. You didn’t even tell me to not be afraid.”

“Boy please” she said while laughing

I got game huh God? Alright maybe not, but hey, you miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.

I took a glance at the brother behind the table and he had that look on his face that my older brother used to give me. Eyebrows raised and a smile holding back a laugh. I thanked him for the wine and then continued to talk to Rebecca.

We talked about all types of things. Like what brought her to the event, what we did for work, even our taste in music. I remember all the details, let me put you on. So, she came to this event because she has a blog and this week's article was about fun things to do in the city. She has been a fashion photographer and a writer since she was 18. She understated her success but I can tell she’s a hustler. She said her favorite music is 90’s RnB, she said she likes “Filling her soul and mind with love not hatred.” When she was saying this I couldn’t help but think “What’s more love filling than love Himself.”

She asked me the same questions, I told her I was here to experience something new, something luxurious, who knew that something would be her company. When she asked me what I did for a living I told her I was a servant for my adopted Father. A little inside joke between us. Between me and you God, I thought this would turn her off but her aura remained unchanged. I also told her I like neo-soul, she said that is a close second to her.

We are meeting again this week and well, I was wondering if you sent her? Either way I trust you to guide me.

Thank you for the blessings you already gave me to steward and thank you for staying with me through the trials.

I would offer you everything I have but I know you have no interest in earthly wealth. So I will just say: “God bless you God” for what greater gift is there for the creator of the universe to bless Himself.

-Love you 

From your adopted son Isaac
