I get up from my knees with a smile on face.
Such an amazing prayer. I grab my purse and bible ready to leave from the church.
"Zinovia!" I hear someone yell my name. I stop in my tracks and turn to see Jason running up to me.
"Hello, Jason. How are you?" I ask with a genuine smile on face.
"I'm fine, thank you. What did you think of the service?" He asks me offering a warm smile.
"Oh, it was very lovely. I received a great message from it." I answer.
"That's nice. I just came to ask if you wanted to, um, maybe, um, grab lunch with me? I mean, not like a date or anything. But as. . . friends?" He asks nervously scratching the back of his neck.
I give him a warm smile, "I'd love to. How about you pick me up from my apartment at 1:00 so I can change from my church clothes?" I suggest.
"Um yeah. Okay! See you at 1:00." He says excitedly walking backward. He trips over a pew. I giggle. He blushes and turns to walk forward.
"God bless you," I shout after him.
"God bless." He answers not turning around.
I walk out to my old but reliable truck that my father gave to me when I turned 16.

I arrive at my gorgeous little apartment. I park my car and get out. Once I'm inside my apartment I throw my clothes off and into the hamper.
I look at my clock; 11:42
I decide to take a short nap before lunch.
As I lay in my bed I think about God. He delivered me from an almost horrific event. I tightly close my eyes, not wanting to remember what happened at that dark time in my past.

I wake up and check my clock; 12:30
I get out of bed and walk to my closet to find something to wear for lunch.
I think about the warm but cool weather of Louisiana and settle on a matching sweater shirt and skirt.

I look at myself in the mirror and smile.
I'm so pretty.
I put my freshly blown out 4c hair into an afro. I add a few flowers in my afro for decoration.
