The one He kept for me

God bless my husband.
I love my love story. Maybe I appreciate it all the more because I know what it takes to date hoping that is the last one only to find yourself disappointed. But even if KO and I had found each other years earlier, I’m certain I’d still be pretty crazily in love with him had I not had to wait for him. He’s truly a gift, the best one God has given me besides salvation.

Looking back, I can see how God’s
timing worked perfectly for us. We
both had to grow in our individual
ways in order to be ready for each
other, and for our relationship. We had lessons to learn, tears to shed and strength to gain. We had to let go of so many misconception to find what God had kept for us. But the wait was not easy. In fact, it often was suffocating as I found myself dating, undating and redating.

However, as He does so well, God
used the waiting time to refine some of my mixed-up views and ways of processing emotions. And He taught me that, the breathless love of my girlhood dreams,the one we all dreamt about when we dreamt of Prince Charming simply wasn’t enough. In love’s waiting room, he did some major transplanting and gave me some brains and a bigger heart.

My Love Story
I mentioned that I love my love
story. I should tell you that, even though I didn't always have a relationship with God,I wanted God to write my romance in a way that was undeniably his handwriting. I always said, "When I marry, everyone with say for a girl who took so many messed up decisions in life, she made the perfect choice of a life partner" . I wanted the real thing, not the settled-for-probably-good-enough version. I wanted the Cinderella fairy tale only he could create.

He gave it to me.

I'm not going to tell you about my love story yet. But you should know I met K twice. The first time, he was just one of the guys in the crowd. We never spoke, never said a word and well, he caught my attention then but for a brief second. He was forgotten in minutes and I never got to know his name.

Seven years later, after God had refined me and him as well, by some miraculous means, God reintroduced us. No, I didn't know he was the stranger in the crowd. Like I said, I had long forgotten about that incident till my bff reminded me. (Btw, K is her big brother's bff)

So what exactly is my point? When you give your all to God, He gives you His very best. God is love. So many times the bible has reminded us. And He that is love knows how to give your heart desires. His timing might be different but His gifts are eternal.

When God gives it to you, it will not be that woulda-coulda-shoulda kind. It is always the real deal and once He has center place in your lives, He will perfect that which concerns you. He knows the way He taketh if you will walk with Him.

When God has your heart, He will mould you into the wife He wants you to be. He will prepare the husband you need for you.

He will break you and mould you. He will wean people from your life. He will prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies.

Today, hand over every bit of your life to Him, invite Jesus to take control and watch Him do an awesome thing with your life.

Be blessed
