God's Power aka James (Jimmy)

Its September 2004 and im on the bus minding my own business listening to music and reading a book (Joyce Mayer's Battlefield of The Mind. *which im yet to finish*). Im on my way to my dad's house to cut down the small tree in his back garden so it would look nice when he got out of hospital (he had a stroke). From the corner of my eye I see a guy standing by the exit doors, he looks in my direction and decides to sit next to me.

I don't make anything of it and continue to read,
"Hello", I look up not sure if someone is talking to me, then go back to my book,
"Hello", there it is again, "Please God, please say he's not talking to me, I dont have the strength for this now", I say to myself.
"Hello" (He is very persistent), "Ok", I say,"I'll talk to him".

I turn and say hello back and a conversation begins about family and church (so far so good), then as usual it leads to this:
Him: "Do you have a number"
Me: "Yes"
Him: "Can I have it"?
Me: "No, I dont give my number to people I dont know"
Him:"If you give me your number we can get to know each other"
Me: "(How many times have I heard that)"

In the end I take his number and agree to call him to invite him to my church. About a month later things are official and 6 months after that here we are.

So that's how I met Jimmy, if I had ignored him (as I usually do) things would have been a whole lot different.

(If your wondering, it took me hours to cut that tree down using a pair of hedge clippers. Then his social workers tells everyone I got someone in to do it).
