March 2024: Don’t marry a pastor; I repeat, don’t.
Before I give you the gist on why I think you should not marry a pastor, let me tell you one of the funny things that happened to me this month.
This month, a guy asked me out, and I’ve been feeling like I have a lot of work to do on myself. No, he’s not a bad person; we’re just not alike.
We are two entirely different people with different perspectives on life, career, politics, spiritual life, academics, etc. I have asked myself questions like, “What did this guy see in me enough to think that we’re right for each other?” “Am I giving the wrong impression?” I need to work on myself so that I can only attract people who are more like me.
I’m not saying that I’m better than this person, but with the kind of life I’m building for myself, we don’t share a common view. Could it be because I post a lot of memes on my WhatsApp status? Maybe I should start posting more serious stuff?
The thing about me is that, whenever I start catching feelings for someone, I always wonder if I’m up to snuff for them. Do we click on certain things? Am I even their type? If not, well, I’ll just take my crush elsewhere. But really, why did this guy approach me? Am I doing something wrong?
He observed me for months, and then he thinks he’s the right person for me? ah! Anyway, I’ve decided to take what I post on WhatsApp and other social media seriously. I am going to be super intentional about what I share because I don’t want random people to come and tell me that they see a future with me.
As the saying goes, “You attract what you are.” I should work on myself. Now that I think about it, maybe I post too many memes and talk too much about boys, giving off the wrong impression.
This isn’t necessary but the guy even supports the administration that is causing Nigeria’s problems 😞.
Why do bad things happen to good people? 😭😅
What I’m trying to say is that even when we like someone, we should not only consider the fact that the person is good for us, let’s ask questions like, “am I good enough for this person too?”
Now back to not the title of the story — Don’t marry a pastor and I’ll tell you why. So, sometime this month, I was with one of my friends, who happens to be a pastor, and then he asked me when my birthday was, and I asked him to guess. He guessed wrong, and then I told him to guess again and that he should ask the Holy Spirit.
A few seconds later, he looked at me and told me my birthday is on the 12th of September. Aha, Holy Spirit? Small play o. You guys needed to see the way I screamed. I was surprised, not because he got it right but because I wasn’t expecting the Holy Spirit to tell him something as ordinary as that. Like, it’s just my birthday.
Imagine trying to plan a surprise for your husband, and the Holy Spirit spills the beans! Or the Holy Spirit telling your husband that you’re carrying a baby before you even find out? All I’m saying is that if you marry a Pastor, the Holy Spirit will tell him everything, you’ll not have any privacy. Both of them will sit down to talk about you 😭.
I still want to marry a pastor sha and I want to be one too. I’m not talking about the title of a pastor, I’m talking about the functions and responsibilities. The idea of being responsible for other people’s spiritual life, bringing people to the knowledge of God’s word, getting people saved and filled with the Holy Ghost is how I want to make my life count.
But first, I’m working on myself.
My spiritual life was super consistent this month. If you read my February Wrap, you’d know why I had to include this paragraph. March was filled with clarity for me. I know what to do; I’m not confused. I recently just started listening to Pastor Iren. Thank God for Spotify and to Tolu for bringing the idea to my mind. I also started Foundation Bible School. I don’t know what ministry to join yet, but I’ll soon decide.
I satisfied a lot of cravings this month. Whenever I feel like eating something, I just buy it, and I must add, God really met me at the point of all my needs this month, even beyond my imagination. I’ve also decided to start saving my cravings. I’m doing this with my friend, Kosemani. Whenever we’re craving something, instead of buying it, we’ll save the money. I want to start craving Apple stocks and real estate; I can’t be craving only food 😭.
March marks the end of Q1. To be candid, I’ve not really achieved anything this year. Although the timeline for most of my goals isn’t until the end of Q2, everything isn’t coming together yet, and I really hope they do soon. I’m trying my best, and I’m going to get it right.
How was March for you?
Thank you for taking time to read ♥️.
