Are you sure she’s not bucking for First Lady?

The clink of metal on china was the only sound heard in Carla’s massive dining room. She smiled, noticing that conversation had all but ceased as the committee of Ladies First enjoyed her culinary skills. Carla loved to cook, always had, and the biggest thanks she could receive were the sounds she now heard.

“Girl, this is delicious!” Vivian declared, taking a break from eating only long enough to wipe her mouth with a napkin and take a sip of tea. “I think this is the best salmon I’ve ever tasted.”

“I second that emotion,” Terri added. “I would ask you how you made it, but I’m sure it’s another of your secret recipes that cannot be divulged.”

“You got that right!” Carla grinned, taking another helping of spicy rice. “Besides, if I told you how I cooked it, you could then make it yourself and may be inclined to no longer grace my dining room with your lovely presence.”

“Oh, so that’s how you keep your friends,” Minister Rebecca teased.

“That and my winning personality!” Carla didn’t miss a bite or a beat.

Later, as the women settled into Carla and her husband Stanley’s comfortable family room amid slices of peach cobbler and cups of coffee and tea, Vivian gave her update on the S.O.S. Summit. She lauded the invaluable assistance of Millicent Sims, who had become her special assistant on the project. Vivian admitted that much of the schedule’s smooth coming together was in no small part due to Millicent’s efficiency and enthusiasm.

“Are you sure she’s not bucking for first lady herself?” Carla asked after Vivian once again extolled her praises.

Vivian thought about the meeting she’d had with Millicent. When Millicent had admitted to her that she was in love and that she believed the man was her future husband. She didn’t offer the man’s name and Vivian didn’t press. She did say he was a member of the church. Vivian hoped she wasn’t talking about Cy Taylor because he’d clearly stated that he wasn’t interested. Still, they spent a lot of time together working on various projects. Vivian had admonished her to stay prayerful, and to make sure she was hearing from God. Millicent believed she’d already received signs of confirmation that this was indeed the man that God chose for her before the foundations of the world were laid. Vivian was all too familiar with the dreamy look in Millicent’s eyes as she talked about her future husband and the desired role that they, as a couple, would play in the ministry. Again, Vivian admonished her not to put the cart before the horse, but to make sure she was clear on God’s desire versus her own. After all, everyone and their mama wanted to be Cy’s wife.

“Earth to Vivian, come in please!” Carla implored dramatically.

Vivian wasn’t aware that she’d been deep in thought and hadn’t answered her friend’s question. She decided to be tactful and keep Millicent’s aspirations and her thoughts of said aspirations to herself.
