her I really didn’t catch her last name.”
“Let me get this straight, you hung up the phone on me and forgot to get her number?” Jamison asked. “How did you do that little brother?”
“Jamison, I have no idea, I was just enjoying my conversation with her.” Kingston said as he shook his head in disgust.
“Well man I wish you nothing, but luck but you know this is considered blackmail material so watch your step. I might use this if necessary.” Jamison said, smiling at his little brother.
“Kingston this is not something to worry about, if God means for her to be in your life He will put her back in it.” Louise said to Kingston, who was barely touching his food.
“I really hope you see her again Kingston, after your last gold digging girlfriend you deserve someone to make you happy,” Chelsea added in while she poured herself a glass of iced tea.
“Thanks Chelsea, I really appreciate that. I don’t know what is was but I just got lost while talking to her for those few minutes.” Kingston said while staring at the bright flowers sitting on the table in front of him.
“You’re welcome.” Chelsea said as she started eating her salad.
“So how are you going to find her? Pounding the aisles like you are a crazy man is not working.” Jamison asked while reaching for his glass. “You’re plan A is a bust, you need another plan.”
“I don’t know what your next move should be. It’s going to be like finding a needle in a haystack without having her last name.” Chelsea said, feeling bad for her brother.
“That’s very true without a last name it’s almost impossible to try to find her.” Jamison said trying to help Kingston.
“I can’t understand why any of you are not considering the most important plan.” Calvin said as he looked Kingston square in the eyes and said. “God’s plan. Son, wait on her. When she comes and she will come, this time get her last name and get her number.” His father said with an added chuckle.

“We at Christ the Lord Fellowship Church welcome each and every one of you here today. We are so excited that you chose this church to fellowship with today.” The tall pastor said as took the podium of his large church.
Lavishly decorated with gold and purple ribbons and bows throughout all the pews, there was barely an empty pew to be found. The men had given their seats to the woman as they continued to pack the church on this day.
“Before I began I would like tell my son Kingston that he has great taste in suits.” The gentleman said while smiling at his son.
Standing to his feet he replied. “So you do you Pop.”
Sporting the same black and lavender pin-striped suit, the Carter men paired it with lavender ties and black shoes to match. With such a striking family resemblance they looked like brothers rather than father and son. The congregation, liking what they saw began applauding for the two handsome men as they smiled to each other.
“Today as you know is the third Sunday and every third Sunday I take my seat and let my son preach. But before I let him take the stand I need to tell you a story,” the older gentlemen went on as Kingston rolled his eyes because he knew what was coming.
“I love all my kids Jamison, Chelsea and Kingston, but no matter how old you get I will tell you when you did something that was not so bright.” He said as he towered over the podium.
“I know that’s right!” An usher shouted from her post in the aisle.
“We were on vacation when Kingston was about eight years old and we had gone into a store to get a few things when he asked for Fig Newton’s. We said okay and off he went racing down the aisles to find them. He was so focused on the cookies that he couldn’t remember where he was and he got lost. Years later, minus the cookies, but the story is the same, Kingston was still so focused on what he wanted that he forgot where he was and again got lost. I told my son three words, wait on her. Not only will she come to you, but God will bring her to you, which means that she is for you.”
“That’s right!” Louise shouted from her seat.
“When you wait on the Lord, He brings you blessings beyond your expectations. I
