to me that I should have suggested coffee or a concert or another walk instead of dinner.”
“She’s good.”
“She’s matchmaking.”
“Seriously?”
“Want to run away now?”
“No” he answered “why and how?”
“You’ll have to ask her. I blocked out her explanation when she started in on me after that dinner at my parents.”
“No way. I’d just met you.”
“Ask her not me. Until a few hours ago, I would have never even considered it. I’m basically a loner and very shy and handicapped.”
“Leah is not a handicap.” He joked
“Funny.” She groaned at him “But seriously, if …”
“Don’t.” he growled at her “Adjustments have to be made in any relationship. Your being blind is not a stopping point for me, if it is for you then we need to make that a topic of discussion really soon.”
“I do have concerns but whether or not we need to discuss them now if we are in the beginnings of maybe a possible relationship, I don’t know.”
“You just confused me. What did you say?”
“If the Lord doesn’t lead us into a relationship that is more than friendship, then you don’t need to know my concerns.”
“I disagree but let’s hold off on that discussion for another day. I don’t mean to rush you, but I need to get to the church for a meeting.”
Faith reached to tell the time on her watch. “Oh no! I’ve taken up your whole day today. I didn’t even realize, time passed so quickly.”
“Wait a minute, hold on.” He stopped her “Today was very important to me. Don’t think that you have taken up my whole day, we needed to talk. Do you understand?”
“Yes, but I still apologize.
“No, you won’t.” he said taking her hand to lead her from the coffee shop
“I already did.” She laughed “You are hard-headed.”
“So they tell me.” he groused “And so are you.”
“So they tell me.” she agreed. Nathan laughed again and helped her into the car. He dropped her off at her home and headed for his meeting.
Faith walked down the stairs to her office. She had lots of praying and thinking to do. Could I ever be a helpmate to him? Lord, I need a clear picture in this situation. I don’t see myself as an asset to any man and especially not to a pastor. I will trust in your leading. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
“Did you stop being hard headed long enough to explain things to Nathan?” Leah asked at dinner that night.
“Yes, he knows the whole story. But the point was to do those things anonymously. He just had to be stubborn and keep digging until I confessed. If he had just accepted it, then I could have continued; now I can’t do anything else.”
“Why not? Who cares if he knows you helped out?”
“The point of my ministry is to help in the background; not to be noticed.”
“He won’t tell anyone.”
“I know that, but he’ll still know.”
“You are giving me a headache. Anyway, as long as you two are speaking that’s all I care about. I didn’t like being in the middle.
Faith smiled and answered “Everything
