UNMARRIED MEN
IN CHURCH...
Brother Unmarried walks into the church, goes into the balcony and sits
in a certain spot. Several unmarried women notice him at the same time but none
say anything. The women in question are Sister Blue Shoes, Sister Black Shoes,
Sister Red Shoes, and Sister High Heels. All are single, over 25 and quite
available and hopeful for a husband.
The next week they look up and notice him again. The brother is alone again---,
and no ring on his left finger. And he's not bad to look at either. On top of
that, he's toting a bible that looks quite worn. He must be serious about the
Lord!
Week three, he appears again, Bible in hand, eyes focused on the pastor. Week
four.......he must be a new member of the church and he sits in the same
general area week after week after week. But there is only one problem. He's
not very sociable. He just keeps his eyes on the service! Church is over and
the pastor says, as you departs, hug your neighbor. And wouldn't you know it he
turns around and hugs Sister Blue Shoes. Then as he heads for the door, he
smiles at sister Red Shoes and waves goodbye to Sister Black Shoes. As he heads
out towards his car, he politely begins a conversation with Sister High Heels
who is walking in the same direction and wishes her a pleasant day as she arrives
at her car. Brother Unmarried gets into his car, turns onto his favorite gospel
station, and heads home.
He arrives home, walks through the door and immediately calls his fiancée
(Sister Chosen) who is presently in her last year of medical school in Alabama.
He loves her dearly. They have known each other since 7th grade. The brother
starts to reminisce as her telephone rings. He remembers the first day he ever
saw her. She was new to the school and she walked in with her hair in a pony
tail, braces, and a beautiful smile. Everyone loved her bubbly personality and
she became popular instantly. And he was so surprised how quickly she
transitioned in the new school and new neighborhood. Of course, it really
excited him that from day one, she made it clear that she liked him too and
they officially became girlfriend and boyfriend within weeks of her arrival.
They have been inseparable ever since. When they were teens they joined
the same church, same choir and all the same youth groups. While many of their friend’s
pre-teen crushes ended, theirs endured. They attended the same high school,
went to the prom together, and attended the same college. They completed their
four years of college and she went on to medical school while he went on to
graduate school. That was the first time they had been separated but the
distance only drew their hearts closer together. They agreed that after she completed
medical school they would marry.
So Brother Unmarried decided that he would go ahead and get his two year
Master's degree while the love of his life, Sister Chosen, completed her four
year medical degree. After getting his Master's he started to work and wait for
Sister Chosen to complete her studies. Fortunately she will graduate in just 7
more months. Wow, Time’s flying. He already has purchased the ring and will
present it to her on her graduation day. The wedding plans are complete!
Hello....
The sound of Sister Chosen's voice awakens him from his daydream. He goes on to
tell her about the fact that he is enjoying his new job and that he has found a
good church. In fact, he is thinking about joining but wants to wait for her to
come to town so she can visit the church and see whether or not she likes it.
They talk for another half hour and they end the conversation. He smiles to
himself, thanking the Lord for such a wonderful
woman!
MEANWHILE in Sister Blue Shoes' House........
Sister Blue Shoes has been excited for the past several weeks. She just cannot
stop thinking about Brother Unmarried. And she cannot stop meditating on the
fact that out of all the women in the church whom he could have hugged, he
actually hugged her! No, that could not possibly be coincidence. No way. That
was fate! The Lord led him to sit in front of her that Sunday and it must have
been the Lord who led him to turn around and hug her! Sister Blue Shoes cannot
contain her excitement a moment longer.
She calls her best friend. Check out the conversation:
Sister Blue Shoes: Girrrrl, you are going to be a maid of honor soon!
Best Friend: What's going on, Blue Shoes?
Sister Blue Shoes: That brother I was telling you about---the single
brother who's been attending church every Sunday. Girl, he was sitting beside a
single woman in church today. In fact he was surrounded by single women but
when the pastor said for us to hug our neighbor, he hugged me.
Can you believe that? He could have hugged the sister who was sitting right
beside him but he chose to hug me. ME, girl!
Best Friend: Now, that is nobody but the Lord!
Sister Blue Shoes: I know! And the strangest feeling went through me as I was
hugging him. I felt like I was hugging my husband! It's God. He spoke to me and
told me that I was hugging my husband!
Best Friend: I stand in agreement with you on that!
Sister Blue Shoes: He's mine. I claim him in the name of Jesus. I know he's
mine!
Meanwhile, in Brother Unmarried's house....
Brother Unmarried is still thinking about his fiancée, Sister Chosen. He wants
to call her back and talk some more but it's getting late and the phone bill is
going to be astronomical again this month! He thinks about it and....oh, well.
Fifteen more minutes won't hurt. Before he knows it, he's calling his future
queen yet again!
And in Sister Black Shoes' House, another Scenario happened….
Dear Diary, I just met my future husband this week. I had been checking him out
for the past several weeks. I had a feeling in my spirit that he was my husband
when I first laid eyes on him but it was confirmed today. As we were exiting
the church, he looked me right in the eyes and waved at me!!!!!!!!!!! Whew!
Now, of all the women in that church, he waved at me. It's interesting because
he waved in a very familiar manner, as though he has known me for years. YES,
this is my ordained mate, I just know it.
And in Sister Red Shoes' House.........
Hey, mom! Guess what! My future husband smiled at me today in church! Yep, it's
that guy I told you about. He's been coming to church for the past few weeks. I
knew he was my husband the moment I looked at him but today he actually smiled
at me on our way out of the church. Can you believe that? All those gorgeous
women in church but he did not smile at any of them. He
smiled at ME!!!!!!!!
And in Sister High Heels' House......
Sister High Heels: Hey Prophetess Angie, I stopped by to speak to you because
something serious happened today! Do you remember about a year ago you
prophesied to me that I would meet my husband when I least expected to? Guess
what? I met him today. You were right!!!
Prophetess Angie: Yes, as a matter of fact, I believe you are going to
be married within the next year! What happened, girl?
Sister High Heels: The next year???!!! Lord, I need to sit down because I'm so
overwhelmed I might fall out!
Prophetess Angie: Let me get you some juice, Just be calm.
Sister High Heels: For the past several weeks a very handsome gentleman has
been sitting in the section of the church that I always sit in. It's funny
because as big as that church is, why is he sitting in my section, way up there
in the balcony?
Prophetess Angie: You don't even have to finish your sentence. As I was
praying for you last weekend, I sensed that you were about to meet your
husband. You met him, didn't you?!
Sister High Heels: YES!!!!
Prophetess Angie: As I was praying for you, I saw his face. He has medium
brown skin, is handsome, and under 6 feet tall, right?
Sister High Heels: Girl, YES! He is about 5'10" in height, slender,
dresses in really nice suits, is very clean cut. You saw him?
Prophetess Angie: Sure did. I saw him in a vision. He was walking beside
you...
Sister High Heels: What! Girl that is exactly what happened in church! Your
vision was right. Of all the women he could have chosen to walk to their cars,
he walked me to my car. I cannot even remember what we talked about because my
heart was beating so fast. And I did not even ask him his name...
Prophetess Angie: We are going out tomorrow looking for wedding dresses.
We claim him for you! Don't tell anybody else because they will think you are
crazy but we are going to start your wedding plans tomorrow!!!!!
Sister High Heels: Get me some tissues. I am about to cry....
Meanwhile, in Brother Unmarried's House..........
Brother Unmarried: I cannot wait for you to get here in town. I just miss you
so much.........
Sister Chosen: I look forward to seeing you too. Thank God I'm almost through
with medical school. We then can proceed with our life plans...
Brother Unmarried: Yes, ma'am! I hope our future children look just like you.
You are the most beautiful woman on the entire planet......
