Somebody had to make the call and it was....Samantha.
"Hey JoJo."
"Hey Samantha. Long time, no hear." Then, it hit him.
"That's why I'm calling."
"Guess we're through. HuH?"
"We've been finished for a long time, but I want us to make it official."
"What happened to us?"
"We both were passionate about ideas other than ourselves."
"I know you wanted to make disciples for the Lord. That's a good thing. Right?"
"It is good to make disciples for the Lord. But, in my efforts, I think it became more about me than the Lord. I'm not sure."
"So what have I been passionate about?"
"Remember your goal at the beginning of the school year?"
"Yea. I have been the best class clown alright. But, I forgot about my girlfriend. my friend."
"It's ok, JoJo."
"Well, here's the thing. The Lord put us together. At first, we were friends. Then, we were girlfriend-boyfriend. Maybe, it will be ok to be friends again."
"Well said, friend!"
"Thanks!"
"Well look, JoJo. I need to go. Let's eat lunch together tomorrow."
"That sounds good.'
"Bye"
"Bye"
JoJo thought, What have I done? I messed up this relationship with Samantha as my girlfriend. Suddenly, he knew it was all good. He and Samantha were still friends and there were other fish in the sea!
Then JoJo prayed, "Dear Lord, help me be a better Christian. I have messed up again!"
