Faithful God
On this day 2 years ago i said ‘i do’ to the love of my life.We cant both imagine it has been 2 years already.How?
Or is it that the world was normal within the first six months then pandemic happened.Whatever it is,it has been an amazing journey.I remember years ago,thinking i will never get married,because all my relationships never seemed to work and people around ‘family’ wondered why i was ever single.I remember a close relative who said to me, ‘dont wait until you are past 30 to get kids,get kids,.That moment i was single as i can be,there was not even a sign or any prospect.I just sighed and moved along.Those days i had stregth and that was none of my business at that time.I didn’t have a stable job,how on earth would i be thinking about kids.Somehow i made peace with myself,if i get married well and good,if i dont well its life and life has to go on.My Mum ,dad and my brothers were my biggest support.None of them ever asked me,when i will get married.If anything my Mum always told me,there is no prize for getting married,take your time,dont marry wrong just because you feel you are late.You have all the time.And thats what i live for,For anyone out there,take your time.
Well,God had another plan and on a cold June 8th 2019,i said i do.It had rained the previous 2 days and we thought it would rain.But God held the heavens and it didnt rain until that night.Am a planner,and i had planned but with african weddings,having to deal with many people sometimes the plan goes out of the window.A week to the wedding i didnt have the maids dresses 😦 ..Only God knows how i survived.Anyway it was a beautiful day.
The second year has been amazing.Guess the more you live with someone the more you know him or her.It is also the year we got tested.We lost 3 babies, a miscarriage.I would like to call it a still birth,because i gave birth to all of them.I remember the pain of labour,but what i remember more is the pain of living without them.Some how we navigated through the process of grief.No one prepares you for this.Its only the comfort and stregth of God can keep you still,when your world is turned upside down.Well we have overcome and at a better place.
Today reading my Bible,i just felt how God has been faithful.From the moment i thought i would never have a family,and many other things.And i am full of gratitude because He has been faithful,for 2 years He has been faithful,More than faithful,and mine is a heart full of gratitude.I have so much peace within me and hope for better tomorrow.Hope you do too,no matter whatever you are going through.
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born,to us a son is given,and the government will be on his shoulders.And he will be called Wonderful counsellor,Mighty God,Everlasting Father,Prince of Peace.Of increase of his government and peace there will be no end.He will reign on David's throne and over his Kingdom,establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and for ever.The Zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish.May the Zeal of the Lord accomplish what ever you wish for Jesus Name.
Nzisa.
