God's Grace has been sufficient: part 1

I am a proud wife and mother. It is by the Grace of God, l did attain those two blessed titles; a wife and a mother. I took seriously with so much humility the role that comes with being called a wife and a mother. One thing l knew is that for me to be able to carry on my duties, l needed God's grace to guide me in every step along the way and to date that has been the only reason l keep going.

It was not easy to attain the title of being called a wife. Like most young single ladies l went through ups and downs. My friends got married and l was the only lady in my circle who was left standing. I felt lonely because when my friends got married, my way of interacting with them had to change. I was a very principled young lady and despite feeling lonely, peer pressure could not make me get shaken that l was all by myself. In fact l became deep in my relationship with God. At some point l started confessing that my future husband was not in our mamaland but somewhere abroad.

Then God opened doors for me to leave our mamaland. Upon arrival in abroad l became even more lonely, confused and lost. I was in an environment which gave me so many shocks. I kept praying and continued with my tough principles. Then came a season that l started thanking God because of answering my prayers of my future husband. I started confessing to friends that God had already answered my prayers. I requested my friends not pray for me but thank God . My friends thought l was crazy or hallucinating and l was not. I was normal and my faith in God was so big when l was confessing that God had answered my prayers.

In December that year l was a bridesmaid in a wedding and that is where God would create an opportunity for me to meet my husband. It was love at first sight. We would later, after few days, have our first date outside Opera House at the heart of Sydney City. We were both in our eleventh hour, therefore, on our first date we had so many questions towards each other. I was very impressed by the honesty of my husband since he revealed to me that he was blessed with a son and he was supporting him. He assured me that he was not married , and true to his words l did confirm as we progressed with our relationship.

There was a pastor and his family from our mamaland whom l knew very well , l introduced my husband to them and they were happy to let me know their thoughts after I organised to spend time with them at Taronga Zoo. They felt at peace and to date l do thank God for planning the presence of pastor and his family that season.

We had to seek counselling from pastor and his wife . They were very professional in relationship and married life. Due to some inevitable factors at that time we would not be able to go through the wedding process that l had prayed for. The counselling, advise and prayers from Pastor and his wife gave us the foundation of our marriage journey. Mysteriously pastor and his wife left Australia and back to our mamaland. I thank God for planning for us to have them here that time because their blessings as servants of God helped us to go through every challenge that started unfolding. I remember when pastor was blessing us, he told us that as long as we were not doing a trial marriage we would be fine through the guidance of the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus.

Our marriage journey has been tested in every way and this far we can only testify that it is by God's grace. We do pray for young couples and every marriage for God's grace to reign. Without God's grace it can be messy and very hard. There is no perfect marriage relationship. It is God's grace which guide,protect and sustain marriage relationship. My husband is my best friend, l am no longer lonely, confused or lost .

God's time and plans are always the best, l can testify that when the time is right He does make it happen. I was left the only lady standing because God had the best for me.
