Memories

There is a song that goes: 'Are you making any memories as you go along the way.....'

Just this week I was reminded of old memories. My time in Welkom, South Africa. After a year in Welkom, I wanted out. The place had been taxing and draining. Yes, I met some very nice people :-).
Well, the other day we were discussing conflict resolution with Farai and I was reminded of some pretty nasty situations I found myself in when I was in Welkom, yes, I didnt address the issue back then, instead I choose to run. I figured I didnt have the strength and energy for confrontation and I was afraid that if I didnt win I would feel even worse so I ran home to my mum. :-) my mum is great!!

But then I was reminded of all the guys who had hit on me then, and they were many and varied. I remembered comments about them from my friends back then. Apparently one was like a 'pantsola' :-) lol, he was a nice guy, I kinda liked him but something about him screamed no and I said no! Then came a dagga smoking 'rasta' guy, he was cute cos he was shy, :-) lol!!! But no, he wasnt the one. And then there was the intelligent engineer who started drinking like a fish and made the mistake of answering my cellphone one day! And who also tried to spend a night with me. Back then, my theory was, all Batswana guys wanted someone to sleep with and so I said no. I am special and the only man I would ever be with is my husband. Though I was accused of being old fashioned I am glad I kept that up :-). I gained a lot more in my husband.

Memory lane was sweet, sweet because I look back and I am glad I made the right choices with regard to dating and no sex before I was married. Memory lane reminded me how blessed I was to have Farai by my side. Going back in time showed me how God has been and is in my life. Last week I prayed and said God, like you opened Elisha's servant's eyes to see the host of angels surrounding them and protecting them, open my eyes as well to see you and boy he did open my eyes. I am blessed :-) we serve an awesome God
