All About Love (Lindy's Story)

Lindy's story made my day.

I hope you are touched as well...

"When I look at him, I have a broad smile on my face and peace in my heart because he is the best part of my life. The best thing to have happened to me. Having him by my side makes trials of life feel like a bed of roses"

I met my heartthrob during my National Youth Service Corps.

I was posted to a remote village in the middle-belt region. While I served, all I could think of was how I needed God to make time fly, literally fly. Mid way into service, I met this tall, dark and handsome young man, TDH as the ladies would say. He had the most amusing dress sense I had ever come across. It was love at first sight, I must say.

However, after 24hrs with him, every single excitement or feeling I thought I had, became as dead as a doornail. They don't tell us in the movies that love at first sight does not last for too long. He acted like he knew everything. Acted like "little Mr Perfect". He spoke to me, a fully grown and blossoming woman, like he would a child. He always tried to tell me what to do. "Who the hell does he think he is?" I had said to myself on several occasions.  Read on...

I would go down on my knees just to give God a hundred reasons why he was wrong for me. I am tempted to say God told him all I complained about.... I guess being a patient and observant person; he probably understood my unspoken words to him and altered a lot of things.

So by the time he got down on one knee and asked me to be his girl, I couldn't imagine myself being with someone else. We have been dating for a year and a half now and plan on tying the knot after Easter.

What I thought would be a futile journey to a remote village, turned out to be a trip of a life time.
