“A BIT OF MY STORY!
As a young girl, I always dreamed of wearing a beautiful white wedding dress and having an intimate garden ceremony, a simple, elopement-style wedding with just me and my Prince Charming. No crowds.
Hmmmm! My mom, a staunch Christian and prayer warrior, always hoped her only daughter would marry properly, with her bride price paid. But life took a different turn, it didn’t go as we planned. I remember days when my mom and I would talk about how colorful my wedding day would be.
My biggest pain on my wedding day was that my mom wasn’t there to witness it. RIP, Mom! I miss you deeply, and no one can ever fill your void. The tears from you not being here anymore are tears I’m not sure will ever dry!
As a single mom, I once felt my dreams were shattered. I was judged and labeled, but God rewrote my story. My children are the greatest gifts of my life. God never makes mistakes. He does everything at the right time.
Today, I celebrate God for blessing me with the man of my dreams, the children I prayed for, and the family I longed for.
Rejoice with me, and if you desire a similar testimony, tap into it because I’ve gone through my share of heartbreaks and sheges, but God came through, giving me exactly what I prayed for.
No matter how dark the tunnel may seem, there’s always light at the end.
I pray for everyone crying out to God for a change. He will rewrite your story, and your testimony shall be permanent! Amen
To God, all be the glory!
Happy New Year!”.
