I'm in Love with a Church Girl Page #6

I know!

Hurry up.

Okay, okay.

Let me...

let me open this.

Get out of here.

You guys got me

my own Bible?

Look, it's got my name on it

and everything.

Let me take a picture.

Love it.

Miles, you need to understand

something.

We have done

everything we can

to raise all of our children

in the ways of the Lord.

Now, the Bible says

that we should pray

for our children's spouses

from early in their lives.

Well, we have been praying

for a godly man for Vanessa.

Miles,

are you that godly man?

I don't know.

How come

I can't I figure out

who you really are?

Bet she has no idea.

I see

you're working late again.

I told you we had

a solid case, right?

So if they're working late...

We got to be working late.

If there's something there,

you'll find it.

This ain't for me.

Babe,

after church tomorrow,

you want to go to the movies?

About tomorrow...

I don't think

I'ma be able to make it.

What's the matter, babe?

You all right?

No, Miles,

I'm not all right.

Look, just tell me

what the problem is.

There is no problem,

babe.

I just got some things

I got to take care of tomorrow.

That's all.

We all have a lot of stuff

we have to do.

You're always gonna have

a lot of things you have to do.

Look, I'm gonna put aside

the fact that

my entire family

is expecting you

and that, hey,

I'd actually like you

to come to church with me,

and what I'm really

concerned with

is what the real issue is.

Why don't you just tell me?

There's nothing to tell.

Really?

There's nothing to tell?

Look, I'm not even buying that.

What is so bad

about going to church?

God don't want somebody

like me in his church, okay?

Ridiculous.

What are you smiling about?

Look, babe, I'm not trying

to belittle your feelings.

Look, I'm sorry,

but you're just so off.

Like, so off.

And to be honest,

I'm a little relieved

'cause I thought

you were actually

keeping something from me...

something ugly.

Well, don't be getting

all happy just yet.

I haven't told you

why I feel this way.

It doesn't matter.

God doesn't care about

what you've done in your past

or what you're in the middle of

right now.

He just wants you

to come as you are.

You sure about that?

I'm positive.

Look, the Bible says,

"What causes a man

to gain the whole world

and lose his soul. "

Baby, I don't want you

to lose your soul.

Once you really get to know

God and His Word,

you'll see that that book

is better than life,

better than the cars,

better than the money.

For a man like you,

even better than...

Better than what?

Look, please,

better than sex.

Yes, I said it.

Yeah, this must be

a great book, 'cause...

Hey, watch what you saying.

Ain't too many things...

Hey, we're talking about God.

Better than anything.

Don't get crazy.

I love you

like Sunday morning

You ready, babe?

I guess.

It's crazy, though.

This is like

a sold-out show.

This is the best show

on earth,

and it's free.

Of the feeling

that I get

It's a Sunday kind of love

Like a classic gospel song

You just have to sing along

I wish that

every day was Sunday

Oh, happy day

The darkness gave away

To the light that shine

Come on, babe, let's go.

Everything

will be all right

It makes me want to say

thank you

Hey.

Good morning, Vanessa.

How you doing today?

I'm good, Jerry.

Jerry,

this is my boyfriend, Miles.

Hey, pleasure to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

This is Jerry.

Hey, I'll seat you

with your parents.

Follow me.

Thank you.

Am I supposed to tip

this guy?

No, baby,

he doesn't get paid.

He's a greeter.

This is his way

of serving the Lord.

I love you

like Sunday morning

It's a Sunday kind of love

Between the two of us

Hi.

Hey, Mommy.

Hey, Miles, good to see you.

Good to see you too,

Mr. Leon.

How you doing, Mrs. Leon?

Good morning, Miles.

I wish that

every day was Sunday

See, I'm so glad

the troubles don't last

Who's that?

That's Pastor Galley.

He's our worship leader.

He's a pastor?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

The troubles don't last

I'm so glad

So, so glad

Troubles don't last forever

If it's a song You want,

Lord, I'll sing it

And if it's an offering,

You know I'll bring it

'Cause You are worthy

So, so worthy, worthy

Worthy of all praise

Lord, my life for You,

I'm gonna live it

And every ounce of praise

I'm gonna give it to You,

Lord

You're so worthy, worthy

Worthy,

worthy of all praise

And as I sing

I will sing

of all Your glory

Tell the world Your story

Of Your strength,

Your power, Your love

And as I live

I will build

my world around You

I'm so thankful,

Lord, I found You

I forever will pray

Babe, everybody

doesn't have to see that.

Oh, my bad.

My bad.

Here.

How much are you giving?

I don't know.

About that much.

That's not enough?

Babe, that's plenty.

Let me explain how this whole

offering thing goes later.

And as I live

I will build

my world around You

I'm so thankful,

Lord, I found You

I forever will praise

You smile and behave.

You heard me?

All right, I'll see you

in a little bit.

Amanda, what's up, baby?

Pastor Galley,

how are you today?

I'm wonderful.

How are you?

Fantastic.

It was an awesome worship.

I loved it.

I had a great time, too.

The Spirit was really moving,

right?

Oh, it was in me.

It was everywhere.

I'll see you on Thursday

at rehearsal.

Don't be late.

Yes, I'll see you there.

All right, Ma.

See you.

Hey, Pastor Galley.

Vanessa, how are you, Ma?

Pastor Galley,

this is my boyfriend, Miles.

Miles, Pastor Galley.

Miles, you got some church in

today, huh?

Yeah, it wasn't

what I was expecting,

but it was good.

That's right.

That's right.

So you really,

like, a pastor, huh?

I mean, like a real pastor.

As opposed to, like,

an imaginary, cartoon pastor?

Nah, that's not

what I meant, man.

I mean, you don't really look

like a pastor.

I don't, huh?

So what's a real pastor

supposed to look like,

Miles?

I don't know, man.

I mean, look at you, man.

Clothes,

your jewelry...

You're kind of tight to death

yourself there, Miles.

Yeah, but I don't drive

no Lambo, Pastor.

The Lambo, huh?

I recall pulling into

the parking lot

and passing

a four-door black Bentley

that I've never seen here

before,

and I'm assuming that's yours,

man.

Yeah, but I ain't no pastor.

True that, but the last time

I read the Bible,

it said nothing

about style being a sin.

Kind of goes back

to that old saying

that you cannot judge a book

by its cover, you heard?

Yeah, I dig.

So what made you

want to be a pastor anyway?

Well, God had a calling

on my life, Miles,

and as much as I tried

to avoid that call,

I couldn't avoid it anymore,

and here I am.

He's got a calling

on your life, too.

On everybody's life.

But you got to answer

the phone

when He calls, you dig?

A calling, huh?

A calling.

I tell you what.

We'll talk more about that

in the future.

I'd love to see you around here

a little bit more.

All right.

You have a blessed Sunday,
