Mmmm

Day 9 = Letter "M"

Another day. Another flower. “M” completes the first word “icecream.”

Daesha asked questions all day about what “icecream” we would be getting.

Icecream is a very special word in our relationship. It is the “buzz word” that set our relationship in motion — I asked for her number and then called to see if she would be interested in sharing her testimony over icecream.

Fun aside — When I asked daesha to “icecream” it was purely platonic. I had no intention of dating her. Instead I was quite impressed with “the heart for worship” she displayed and the impact it has had on me, my dgroup guys, and the ccu community. Her leadership transformed the prior “performance mentality” that plagued the chapel teams prior to her arrival. I wanted to hear her backstory and figure out “where she learned intimacy and worship” and also to thank her for all that she has allowed the Lord to do through her. She declined icecream that week but said maybe sometime in the future when she wasn’t so busy.

We never got icecream. Three or four weeks later, we still hadn’t met up. Schedules and school/work demands took priority. But eventually we did go “out” and talk—to daesha’s favorite restaurant “cafe rio.” 

All that said, “icecream” is where our story begins—figuratively at least.
