I got home that day after lectures and the thought of me crushing on a married man was making me mad at myself. Amanda! What is really wrong with you? Why should you be crushing on your mentor and to make things worse, he is married? These are the exact questions I kept asking my humble self. No, I really have to talk to someone about this. But who will I talk to? I don't want anyone to start seeing me as a wayward girl… I was ruminating on these when a thought came to my mind. Ehn ehn, that's it! I know what to do.
(before I proceed, what do you think Amanda concluded to do in her mind?)
The next day was bible study, I must not miss it. I littered the whole room with my clothes in a bid to quickly change my dress. (it's a beautiful thing to learn at the feet of Jesus.) I hurriedly took a bike and headed for church. Unfortunately, I couldn't concentrate on the teachings, as my mind kept flashing back to what Bimpe told me. "What exactly is the problem? How did I get so attracted to this man and to the point I'm now crushing big time on him?" Ahhh! My village people have finally followed me here.
He is handsome, intelligent and spiritual with sound doctrine, but this is not enough for me to start developing one yeye feelings for him nah. I couldn't stop thinking about all of that throughout the bible section When I heard "Let's rise to our feet so we can pray" I jerked up to my feet, surprised. Jesus! Bible study lasted for two hours and I didn't learn anything. Arrrgh! My mentor ended the prayer and was greeting the members before heading to his office when I quickly rushed to him.
Daddy...... I wants to see you.
Mentor: My daughter, how are you and how was school today?
Me: Everything is fine daddy. Errrm daddyyy I want to discuss something with you, sir.
Mentor: Opens the office door, and we both entered. Amanda, what is it you want to tell me because I can sense urgency in your voice?
Me: Daddy…I'm sorry I had to stress you with my questions. Something has been bothering me for days now, and I really want to know if it right for a christian lady to have a crush?
Mentor: Hmm…Okay! Amanda, what does it mean to crush?
Me: In my mind (This man does not know he's the one I'm crushing on.) Coughs… errm… crush is a one-sided infatuation, attraction or obsession that one have towards another person and the feeling does not even last.
Mentor: Good one! I love your definition. You see, the heart is very delicate and that is why … open your Bible to Proverbs 4 verse 23.
Me: Hurriedly open to read…"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Hmmmm
Mentor: Amanda! The answer is simple and clear, You're in control of what goes and comes out of your heart. Therefore, guard it like a treasure. Do not allow any thought that will cause you to regret your actions later. Guard your heart judiciously. Are you with me?
Me: Hmmm (in my mind, see how this man is wiping me oraimo cord anyhow.) Yes, I'm getting it daddy.
Mentor: Good! Do you know what king Solomon said in prov 23 verse 7a…? He said: "For as he thinketh in his heart so is he."
Why? Because what you think, is what you speak or act. Don't allow that thought because when you do, you wouldn't know when you will put it to action.
Me: Thank you so much daddy. I will not allow the thought anymore. I have to go now, sir.
Mentor: Alright daughter, my regards to mummy. Amanda! Don't forget what I told you.
Me: I won't, daddy. Goodnight, sir.
I dragged myself home as I was very tired and was ready to fight crush as if it was a human being. Who is home? I said as I banged in with my tired self. Those scriptures kept ringing in my head. The next day in school, Bimpe couldn't believe when I told her I had found the solution. Why did I met him in such situation again? I expect you to leave that church and not even call him again." Bimpe said.
"Madam you are taking this thing too far oo, ahn ahn, my own mentor is not that kind of mentor that will take advantage of the fragility of their mentees ok, you better go and change your mentality." I said and left her on the spot. The scriptures soon turn to a "memory verse" as I made sure to read it every minute… and the feeling die a natural death.
