January 23rd

“If we were in the days of old testament, I may have named that place”.

That’s what he said some years ago about the day we first kissed.

‘that place’ was not where we shared our first kiss, but it was the point where he had walked me to and we had shared the last kiss for the night.

We were seventeen and excited.

We never forget that day.

That’s why when he held me close and said the words “congratulations” to me this morning, I knew he was not just talking about how excited I was to weigh in and see if I had lost the 9 kilograms predicted by an intermittent fasting application.

I also knew he wasn’t just talking about my two-year anniversary with my Elevation Church egroup; ‘Therefore I Hope’.

He was also talking about how we made it so far from that day.

Today is a special day for me on 3 counts.

Today marks 25 years since that first kiss.
