"Immediately I opened my eyes to see who it was, I saw myself."

I kept staring into his eyes without saying a word. 

"Hello!" He said and waved his palm in front of me. 

"Are you lost?"

"I'm not!"

"Did you hear what I said?"

"I did! I already knew you saw yourself but I'm beginning to ask myself if this was a proposal or a dream telling."

"Oh!" 

I've always wanted a dramatic proposal. A kind of proposal where you present flowers and a ring. This guy was telling me his dream and the dream was a proposal on its own. This was not the kind of romantic husband I wanted. This is over spirituality. How do I tell my colleagues and friends that my man proposed to me by telling me a dream? It sounds pretty awkward and unprofessional.

If we were going to start a relationship there must be a proposal. And it must be done with flowers and a ring and of course lots of music. What kind of spiritual proposal is this? I don't think this man will be a romantic husband in the future. 

This is the reason why I don't like all these so-called spiritual brothers. They always spiritualize everything. Simple proposal that should have been in such a way that gets someone emotional, you're doing it as if we are having a prayer session.

"Do you want me to propose now?"

"Why are we here? Why did you take me out on a date if you weren't going to propose? Do you think I go out on a date with guys?"

"JULIET WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? I ASKED YOU IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO COME AND YOU SAID YOU WOULD COME. SO WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS? WHAT KIND OF PRIDE IS THIS? IF YOU KNOW YOU FOLLOWED MY SON DOWN HERE TO EMBARRASS HIM, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE FOLLOWED HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO KNOW THE DREAM, NOW HE HAS TOLD YOU. SO WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT? WHY CAN'T YOU EVER BE SATISFIED WITH WHAT I GIVE YOU? ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY THAT I'M GIVING YOU WHAT IS BAD? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT YOU'RE ON EARTH WHERE THERE IS NO HUNDRED PERCENT PERFECTION?

WHY ARE YOU ACTING AS IF YOU ARE QUEEN ELIZABETH HERSELF? CAN'T YOU BE GRATEFUL THAT I GAVE YOU ONE OF MY SONS? CAN'T YOU BE GRATEFUL I GAVE YOU WHAT YOU ASKED FOR AND YOU DID NOT MISS IT IN MARRIAGE? WHAT ARE ALL THESE COMPLAINTS AND EVERYTHING FOR?

I TOLD YOU TO STAY AT HOME IF YOU KNOW YOU WOULDN'T BE COMING. YOU INSISTED YOU WERE GOING TO COME. NOW LOOK AT THE NONSENSE YOU ARE SAYING IN YOUR HEART. 

JULIET, SEGUN IS STILL DIALLING YOUR NUMBER. YOU CAN ALWAYS GIVE HIM A CALL AND TELL HIM YOU WANT TO CONTINUE WITH HIM. I'M NOT GOING TO BEG YOU TO ACCEPT MY GIFT. IF YOU FEEL YOU'RE TOO BIG TO COLLECT WHAT I'M GIVING YOU, I WILL GO WITH IT. 

BUT MARK MY WORDS YOU WILL SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE REGRETTING IT. AFTER GIVING YOU SOMETHING, I'LL BE BEGGING YOU TO LIKE IT. THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. HOW MANY DAUGHTERS ARE ASKING ME TO GIVE THEM MY SONS AND I AM YET TO ATTEND TO THEM.

YOU ASKED ME FOR A SON AND I GAVE TO YOU. YOU ARE HERE MAKING ME LOOK AS IF I'M A TERRIBLE FATHER FOR GIVING YOU THE BEST."

Those words broke me beyond my expectations. I broke into tears and started crying in front of him.

"My goodness! What happened?" Romeo said and walked around to console me. He wrapped me in his arms and patted my back. 

"I'm so sorry! I will do a better proposal! I never knew you would be so disappointed in me to the extent of crying. I'm so sorry! I don't think I deserve someone like you! And it looks as if God is forcing you to accept me.

Don't worry! I'll tell him to let you be. I'll tell him to chose another person for you. Someone who will make you happy. Not this disappointing fellow called Robert that only bring you tears."

I had to stop crying when I saw him taking up his coat and was about stepping out. 

"Romeo wait!"

"Don't worry! I'm ready to let you go, if it would mean happiness for you!" He said and walked out.

"Romeo! Wait!" I said and stood up to run after him. 

He got into the car and turned on the ignition. I knocked on the door telling him to stop, but he drove off.

"AT LEAST, I'LL GIVE HIM SOMEONE ELSE WHO WILL NOT TREAT HIM LIKE TRASH!"

I threw myself on the floor weeping. 

"Daddy! I'm sorry! Please don't do this to me!"

"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU. YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF! 

"But I said I'm sorry!"

"NO YOU'RE NOT! IF YOU ARE TRULY SORRY YOU WOULD NOT BE SPEAKING TO ME THAT WAY."

"How am I supposed to speak? Tell me how I am supposed to speak?"I asked angrily.

"ARE YOU ANGRY WITH THE ALMIGHTY?"

"Yes! I mean, this is not fair!"

"OH! SO YOU WANT TO TEACH ME HOW TO RUN MY UNIVERSE? WILL A MAN JUDGE GOD?"

"No! But, you're not treating me as if you care about me. You don't respect my feelings!"

"JULIET I HATE SIN. IF YOUR USELESS FEELINGS WILL MAKE THE THINGS I HATE TO BECOME MY DAILY BREAD, GET READY TO SEE THE WORST.

HOW CAN YOU FEED ME WITH SIN AND TELL ME TO RESPECT YOUR FEELINGS? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT I AM A HOLY GOD? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT MY EYES ARE TOO HOLY TO BEHOLD INIQUITY? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT YOU ARE MY TEMPLE AND MY TEMPLE MUST BE HOLY."

"I'm sorry! Please! Forgive me! I'm sorry!"

"WITH THIS YOUR CHARACTER AND ATTITUDE, I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED ANYTIME SOON. YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH MORE DEALINGS OF THE SPIRIT, BEFORE I CAN PRESENT YOU TO ANY OF MY SONS.

"Daddy, what about Romeo?"

"DON'T ASK ME USELESS QUESTIONS. I JUST SAID YOU'RE NOT GETTING MARRIED ANYTIME SOON AND YOU'RE ASKING ME ABOUT ROMEO!"

"Haaaaaaaa! Daddy! I'm finished!"

"HEY! STAND UP FROM THE FLOOR!"

"No! I won't! Not until you forgive me!"

"AND WHO SAID I HAVEN'T FORGIVEN YOU?"

"So what about Romeo?"

"DON'T EVER ASK ME ABOUT HIM AGAIN."

"Haaaaaaaa! Daddy!"

"JULIET YOU CAN'T MANIPULATE ME. I AM YOUR FRIEND AND FATHER, BUT I'M ALSO A KING AND A JUDGE. AND MY KINGDOM HAVE RULES THAT ARE UNBENDABLE. SO IF YOU LOVE YOURSELF, SUBMIT TO MY DEMANDS AND GET OFF THE GROUND THIS MINUTE."

I quickly stood up and shook the dust from my body. My phone began to ring in my purse. With so much excitement I brought it out expecting it was Romeo calling to apologize. I brought the phone out and saw a random caller. I was staring at numbers without a name. 

"Hello!"

"Hi!" 

"Please am I speaking with minister Juliet?"

"Yes you are! Who am I speaking with?"

"I am Michael Jordan! I just wanted to call you to wish you happy birthday in advance. I heard your birthday is in two days time. I can't wait to celebrate a woman that imparted my life greatly. I'm so happy you're on this planet. You are God sent and a blessing to this generation. I want to say a big thanks to you for saying yes to Jesus.

We live in a generation where a lot of people see standing for Jesus as old fashion. A lot of people praise evil and mock good. But I am so glad you stood for what was right and never bent along the way.

I'm so proud of you Julie angel! I love you from the depth of my heart. With the love of God actually!" He said and chuckled.

I'm used to being loved with the love of God. Today won't be the first day a brother will tell me he loves me with the love of God. 

Everything I was hearing from his mouth was not sinking in my head. I just wanted one person out of the million people I knew to call me. I would never have my peace until he does.

I didn't wait for the conversation to end before hanging up. A pinch of guilt sprung up in me for the abrupt interruption, but I blamed my actions on my emotions.

I wanted to dial Romeo's number but felt a restraint in my spirit. Soon, I remembered I was under discipline from Mummy. She had placed a ban on calling him till I had completed my assignment.

"What kind of frustration is this? I can't control myself! I feel like I'm going to die if I don't give this guy a call."

I decided to give mummy a call to beg her for permission to call Romeo. I will plead with her with everything in me, just to call him.

I took out my phone and dial that number. She picked the call immediately.

"Hello ma!"

"Hi Julie baby girl! I was about calling you some few minutes ago. I can see you are in the spirit. I love this! You are becoming a spiritual woman again. Not that woman that was crazy about Romeo. I couldn't recognise my daughter at all. See how the obsession to get married to Romeo was eating her up. I'm glad God has delivered you from that demonic obsession."

It was obvious mummy was going to be shocked.

"Mummy I want to tell you that!"

"And Happy Birthday by the way. You'll be clocking 29 in two days time."

The fact that I was going to be 29 years old within 2 days, put shock on my face. If care is not taken, I will be 30 before I get married. Is this how I'm going to remain single for life?"

Susan was 26 years old when she got married. She's been married for the past 2 years and currently expecting a baby. Ella got married last year at the age of 29. Does that mean I am going to be 29 before getting married or 30? Let me guess properly.

"Are you there?"

"Yes ma!"

"You said you wanted to tell me something? What exactly was that?"

"Mummy Romeo called me."

"Okay! That's good! As long as you were not the one who called him."

"No ma! I wouldn't dare disobey and instruction from you. You know I'm a good daughter."

"Good ke! Anyway sha! Let's continue with the conversation."

"Wait ma! Are you saying I'm not a good daughter?"

"Madam, leave that topic! Let's go on!"

"Okay ma! He took me out and narrated the dream while we had a meal in a nice restaurant."

"Wow! That's romantic! Did he propose?"

"Actually, that's the reason why I am calling you. He wanted to propose without a ring. He was just proposing to me as if it was one spiritual meeting. He was proposing to me by telling me a dream instead of declaring his love for me. The proposal was just too awkward!"

"So you wanted a ring and flowers?"

"Mummy I'm sorry!"

"And because there was no ring you rejected the proposal?"

"I didn't reject it! He was the one who left abruptly!"

"Because you were busy making him feel unwanted. You were making him feel uncomfortable. You were riding on your horse of pride and made him feel like a servant to you. I'm glad that man knows how to respect himself."

"Mummy I'm sorry!"

"That's alright! It's not today you started misbehaving. I'm used to it!" Mummy said and chuckled.

Why is everybody so mean to me?

"So what can I do for you?"

"I want you to ask for your permission to call him."

"Thunder fire Satan! You will do no such thing. Madam, go back to the prayer room and ask God to repair your heart. You jumped out of that place too quick. There's a lot more to be done on you. When you are ready, Romeo will come back."

"Mummy you don't understand. Daddy is saying something like he is going to give him to another lady."

To be Continued.....

This is another thing that has affected so many ladies and made the reject their God sent man. Those characteristics they want him to display.

I am not saying it is wrong to desire a romantic man, but be more willing to accept him as God's will. A lot of ladies do not trust God with making decisions for them. They want special qualities and whenever those qualities are missing, they're ready to reject it even if it's coming from God.

Remember you are on Earth where nothing will never be hundred percent perfect. Be more ready to invest and work on whatever God assigns to you to make it better.

Be ready to build your man into a better version of himself, than condemn him because of his current state.

I believe this message is for someone

Juliet is seriously getting me angry. Someone please tell her to behave herself.
