Next thing, He asks my guardian angel to go inside the kitchen and help Him. So, I’m left to keep myself company and entertain myself. The smell from the kitchen is so beautifully strong and I am so eager for the dinner.... but no sign of God to say it’s ready! Yawa (dear) God! Angel Gabriel and my guardian angel are also busy, so it’s just me left waiting and waiting and waiting. As human nature does, I start to get angry and think to myself, surely God knew I was coming!!! Why is HE taking so long!!! The smell is getting stronger and stronger and it’s just killing me.
I call my friends to see wat they’re up to and they can’t even talk much. They’re having their dinner at that point. I get even more angry because they’re having their dinner while I'm still waiting for mine. On top of that I have to wait on my own. No one to share this pang of hunger with or even joke about it. I get so impatient and think to myself I could just go and get McDonalds to hold me down. But God has gone through so much trouble for me, so I dismiss the idea.
But I’m so hungry and I think maybe I should just sneak out and get something quick, but my conscience won’t allow me. Then as it happens it starts to rain, so I decide to stay put. Besides, I just got my hair done nicely for tonight so I’m not letting it get wet. By this time, I’ve waited for what seems like millennia. I've kicked off my shoes. I laid down on the couch. Now my hair is in a mess and not as sparkly as it was when I arrived. I’m so disgruntled. I don’t even know why I came over!
I begin the self-pity and wallowing and feel so frustrated. More frustrated than the British Public who will see 3 Prime ministers in one year. Just before the first tear drop rolls down my cheek, the kitchen door opens, and a BRIGHT light shines through. As I look into it, I’m filled with this excitement and joy that I cannot explain.
I hear God say to me, "TPA, dinner is served". I walk into the kitchen slowly and in amazement, as I head into the dining room. God says to me, "I know it’s taken a while, but I wanted everything special for you. From the setting of the table to the food. I made sure I made all your favourite foods. Angel Gabriel even got some Kenyan Fanta for you that you can dine with. Please sit". I start to feel guilty, and I say to God, "aki God, you didn’t have to do this. God says, "TPA, you are so special to me, I wanted to do something very special for you. You deserve everything I have made for you, and I want you to enjoy it. I know you’ve waited a long time, and it’s not been easy and that’s why I made sure I included all the things you like and a few others I know you will like. "Machiegni (welcome)". God pulls for me the chair and I sit down. He sits besides me.
The dinner turns out to be a wonderful, exquisite, gourmet feast. Everything I could have asked for is there. I taste other new foods and my goodness! The most delicious food I've tasted in my entire life. And the setting! Pure gold, jasper, emerald, sapphire, name it, it was there. I tried to look for my guardian angel to ask him if it was my coronation or something, because... this is a place setting!!! I try to look towards God, but I can’t even look at Him. My head is bowed down and I’m filled with tears of humility, joy and gratitude.
I feel very special. I also feel guilty for being impatient when all this was being done for me. I wish my friends who I was previously envying could share this with me too. As I eat each food, I now understand why it had to take so long because everything was Perfect! (Delicious and no need to worry about anything like cholesterol or diabetic-al factors. We don't do that over here! My Maker cooked for me!) God explains to me that He had to simmer, bake, marinate, grill, whisk each item for just the right amount of time, for it to come out just right and perfect as He wanted. He asks me if I remember those queen (cup) cakes I made that took 3 hours instead of 20 minutes. I tell God "Say no more." (those things were still raw even after 3 hours in the oven!)
The food is absolutely gorgeous, and I’m so pleased I waited and didn’t go to McDonalds because my goodness! That would have been like eating water!
In essence this is what happens when you’re waiting for your blessing. When you wait and allow God to do wat He has to do, in the time He has to do it, you will receive wonderful, amazing, beautiful things that you could never ask, think or imagine. Why? When it comes to you, God only deals with the very absolute best, let no one including the father of lies tell you otherwise.
This 3 part series was originally written as one piece in August 2012, when I didn't know or have a clue, that 10 years later, I will 1. create a blogsite myself! with the help of "web-wizard tool" ! and 2. share it for anyone to see! Look At God. God always has plans for you that are beyond your wildest imagination. He is Phenomenally Good like that.
While waiting for whatever blessing you are dreaming and hoping for, pray for all the tools you may need -trust, patience and acceptance, despite what you "see". Only Believe!, that God has a supremely excellent plan, especially for you, because you are the Love of His life.
Names have not been changed. Places, and incidents are products of the author's imagination for inspirational purposes.
