How the journey began.
Today, we celebrate 9 solid years of NO giving up on each other even though everything and Everyone seems to.
How the journey started.
It was when we were having our Easter Retreat at the Rivers State College of Health Sciences.
Surprisingly that has been the last retreat we had using that environment.
On the first day of the retreat our state overer then ( Pastor Edison Daminabo) told us to write out only 3 prayer request for the retreat. He assured us that they will be answered.
I wrote mine with marriage as the last prayer point on my list. That's what early sprinter do na.
But second to the last day of the retreat was another story all together.
After the 3rd message for the day which usually is our Bible Teaching moment with our daddy ( PASTOR W F KUMUYI , I felt going to get myself a cup of popcorn because I had perceived the smell when the message was on.
After paying #50 for the popcorn I turned to leave, behold a handsome young man standing beside spoke kindly to him.
Him: hello sister, can you buy me a cup of popcorn?
Me turning to him said: Oh, you can get one and pay with this my #50 then I tried handing him the #50 balance I was holding.
He smiled and said he was joking.
He asked me my name which I told him and also asked him his.
He asked my church branch and I told him told but when he asked where I was from I had to question him.
Me: This one you are asking me all this questions, do you want to give me a job. He laughed and said he has something that is more than a job for me.
Immediately, my mind started racing to and fro concerning what he just said.
But I didn't know why I stayed calm even though he was a stranger to me.
We later exchanged numbers and that was it.
Two weeks later, his branch pastor called me to get other bio details from me and since then my miracle has stayed with me.
One of my answered prayer.
We have been through it all and we will keep going. Every step of the way looks clearer than we first began.
Just a meeting and the journey till death do us part began.
May we keep growing older together in love, become stronger enough to keep weathering the storm and may our wine of sweetness never drop.
Our purpose is just to build a life that will keep showing that God uses the foolish things of this earth to confirm the wise.
Our Toast: It's amazing what the LORD has done for we never saw it on this fashion. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.
