WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE...LUNGILE MOLEFE

There is no definite way, place or time to meet new people, connect and become friends. I've made friends at school, at a hangout, at a church and on Facebook. There is one special lady I met through a stranger who was also yet to become a friend. Her name is Lungile Molefe. As I have been appreciating amazing women I know I am appreciating Lungile today.Firstly, let me tell you how I met her.



Someone I met one day in 2012 invited me to come hangout with a couple of friends. I remember that day was the first after a long time of not hanging out with anyone else who is not from my circle of church friends. I even prayed about it asking for God to be exalted and nothing or no one else.


To fast-forward the story I got to Lungile's house and found her with the love of her life who was still her boyfriend then, Selebogo Molefe. This was the coolest couple I've ever met. Cool because they were so full of love and warmth. I felt so welcomed in their company that I forgot I just met them. I was moved by the love between Lungile and Lebo (Selebogo). They naturally worked as a team preparing meals, doing the dishes and even how they communicated with each other. Lungile spoke with humility and respect with Lebo and Lebo spoke with love. A practical sermon from 1 Peter 3:1- My prayer for them since from that day was for them to get married and enjoy God's full blessing. Funny enough that evening turned out to be sharing of God's word after their other friends arrived till very late at night.

Why I love and Appreciate Lungile

She is so full of love that she made me feel welcomed the first day she met me. She is so humble and not a bit judgemental because that is most women's disability. Her love is so much that it has made her man's friends to just love her like a sister. You can also see her love by the people who follow and comment on her posts. Another thing that shows her love is that she likes to say I am a loving person. We tend to see in others what is in us whether good or bad. Her love is so effective that even her husband wrote a blog about her before he married her.

At The Hook Up Dinner

Lungile and Lebo got married last year which now makes her a wife, a mother to a seven years old intelligent, prayerful and church-loving daughter. They were blessed with another daughter just 5 days ago. . Lungi is such a loving mom and I thank God for blessing her with another child who will be so loved and brought up well by His principles. She is also a daughter, a sister and an aunt She and hubby make a perfect combination as they love entrepreneurship and are entrepreneurs. They also love hosting events which bring people together to network, socialize and discuss serious stuff.

During Their Wedding Celebration

Lungi seems shy at first impression but she is actually an introverted extrovert. We continued our friendship as chat buddies on WhatsApp and we have shared quite a lot from the word, prayer requests, advice and pregnancy/mummy advice. She even invited me to do a puppet show for her daughter's birthday party. In the short period she knew me she also ordered a dress from me saying she must have something by ForeverFaith Couture.


Lungi and her first daughter
I appreciate and love Lungi because people like her make others smile, feel good about themselves and feel appreciated. To me Lungile is a physical manifestation of love. There's only a positive aura about her. I cannot imagine her as a mean, jealous, backbiting gossipper. She is indeed a blessing and her hubby found favour when he married her. Lungile is also an excellent cook. Oh I forgot to mention, it happens that Lungile and Lebo attend the same church as I do, Grace Bible Church Soweto and their daughter is in our Children's Church (A family that churches together stays together).

This Pair takes Beautiful Pictures


The lesson I learned through knowing Lungile and of course her husband: Never rush to assume people you meet are meant to be for your own personal justification. Never be quick to dismiss people you meet in life because every person you meet is for God's love to be expressed. I also thank her and her hubby for suggesting to me to write a blog because I love writing. I had started this blog 2 years before I met them but only wrote one poem and instead settled for writing notes on Facebook.


How Gorgeous Are They Together
