My Greatest Prayer: I had never asked God for anything in my life... I only ever said "Thank you" for everything in my life. I have always been a truly blessed person and grateful for everything I had, and i realised that GOD was providing me with everything I needed. I never wished or Prayed for riches or fame or royalty, or to be anybody special, important or of any high status. I never asked for miracles because i could see miracles every single day, simply with people ebing kind to one another and a baby being born, I saw miracles, and i needed none myself... until i met her.
Well, I'd just figured out that GOD had all the Prayers and problems and requests from everybody all over the world since their very creation, and i didn't see any need to overload or stress GOD when i could perfectly well always figure out my own troubles with the gifts and tallents that GOD had given me.
But i'd never known or found love... and then i saw this one person... and it was no special situation, we were simply at a small cafe in town one afternoon, and if this was to be a miricle that my waiting for my true love really was in plan for me, I would certainly act on my feeling of.... what was my feeling of?
A dilemmha... and a greatest prayer... I could not make anyone fall in love with me. As much as one wanted to and tried to, one could not force somebody to have feelings for you, and i didn't consider myself a handsome man either. I had nothing much to offer... and i was shy and quiet, but very kind and faithful.
I decided to show her my faith in GOD. This, this would work. This was an offer she could not turn down.

I'll tell you about the moment i saw her, and you will see why i knew she was the one... I'd been drawn to her.. she had some kind of energy, some kind of force pulling me near, and right from a distance, my eyes were focused on the most magnitising of people i had ever seen. There was something about her... like light shone behind her whereever she went, and i felt sad.. I noticed that nobody else was looking at her or paying her attention or a care, for she smiled at people and nodded in respect to them, and they just waved her off without even a glance back, and she had a knowledge about her, like she was reading everybody very body language and mind. I kept staring at her, and when she looked back at me, she looked me directly in the eyes.... I'd look awkwardly down at my feet or focus on my coffee cup, only to stare back again and i couldn't stop looking into those eyes, which were diamind crystal like more purple than blue.
She didn't even know me... but i was determined to win her heart, for i knew i couldn't leave her without knowing if i really was seeing an Angel... and as i spoke to GOD in Prayer, asking if HE could make it his command and will that she falls in love with me, could this be possible? This truly was love at first sight, but did she feel the same way as me? She gave nothing away to tell me. She could not be read.
Then I stood, and froze as it was like time in itself stood still, and a clock appeared in the corner of my eyes, and i noticed birds flock around her, all kinds of birds picking at crumbs and crisps on the ground, and she said to them, "Beautiful birds, the most beautiful of God's animals, you are singing praises to GOD, I can hear what you are saying. Beautiful." one bird stood directly infront of her and sang looking up at her, and i suddenly wondered if anybody else was seeing this... i looked around wondering if anybody had noticed what seemed so abnormal and serene but nobody even looked our way... All I could think was, "I think i'm seeing an Angel."
I stood and walked to her, and all the birds vannished, flying away singing "praises to GOD." I'd listened, so I asked her, "Were they really singing praises to GOD? I listened to you.. These birds were drawn you. Nobody else seemed to notice."
She just looked at me and nodded, so i put my hand out in a welcoming hand shake and introduced myself saying, "I'm Ephraime. Could it just be Gods will that for the reason of love, you could care and accept to take the time to get to know me, and perhaps we could become the greatest and closest of friends?"
She politely took my hand. She introduced herself as Kezia.
She had, I'd noticed, a book in her hand and had paper and pen with something written down, completed. The book was the book of HOPE. I inquired about what she was writting, and she offered me to sit down and said, "It's a medical enquiry to the Ministry of Health. Could you talk to me about happy things?"
I nodded and glaced at the page, reading aloud, but i didn't mean to, the words, "Cancer. riddled all over my body."
A heavy weight rested inside my chest, tears in me and i said if this is correct, i hope it is not about her, and i noticed her book again, and was filled with dread, because she was the most beautiful person i'd ever seen, and i somehow felt i knew everything about her, and i also felt that something was very, very wrong, but very, very right, and i didn't know what. I offered to Pray with her if she could tell me what the problem was, we could find Hope in GOD.
there was no better way to meet than two faithful people meeting in God's name, and that was my way of knowing that God had Spoken.
