As I waited for Zach to show up to my house, I remember being excited to meet him because I had been needing someone who was better than myself to play guitar on my EP and I really liked his voice and so all these creative ideas started to flow…
But when Zach pulled up to my house, grabbed his guitar out of his car, turned around and looked at me straight in my eyes, I KNEW with every ounce of my being that he was THE ONE I asked God about! I heard a still small voice whisper “That’s him”. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! When I say I played it cool, y’all would have thought the melatonin had kicked in hahaha! I welcomed Zachary into my home and for the next 4hrs we played guitar, sang and talked like we’d known each other our whole lives; we shared our hopes and dreams and even recent hurts.
We both had to work the next day, so we wrapped up our conversation and set time to meet again the following week. When Zach left, I prayed! Lord, you told me, now you have to tell him!! In NO way am I gonna get in the way of what you (God) spoke, soooo yea, please make it clear to him ’cause I’m not saying a word!
We spent next few weeks (Tuesday’s) practicing music and getting to know each other a little better. The week of the 4th of July (my fav holiday after my Birthday and Christmas lol) Zach invited me to a swim party on Friday and to watch fireworks with a group of friends downtown for the 4th. Of course I accepted his invitation. We spent the weekend with friends and I had the most fun…the most fun I’ve had in a while honestly. Standing in line waiting for food and fireworks when we began to plan a road trip that would allow us to stop at different venues to do open mic nights and see the west coast. The longer we stood and talked about this grand plan, I couldn’t help but wonder if he had heard from the Lord yet. I patiently waited in that line, just as I patiently waited for him to get a clue (if he didn’t already have one). The fireworks show came and went and the holiday weekend was over. Interested to see where things would go from there I kept my cool and enjoyed being friends with THE ONE.
