Oh and this is my story....
For some time I had been wanting to get married. I was in a relationship for years with a guy I really loved and we talked about getting married etc. We spoke about when to get engaged etc. and one weekend we planned to look at rings. I called him when I was ready and out of the blue he said "I can't do this" he explained that he was not ready to get married and he ended the relationship. I was so heart broken and in shock and so were my family and friends. I felt like I had wasted years of my life and became very bitter. So, I went on with my life but decided to never give my heart away like that again. And then one day, I heard God tell me that I can't be afraid of getting hurt. He said, there are many things in life that are going to hurt or disappoint you and it does not mean that you avoid them but I should trust that God is be able to see me through anything. So, I went on with my life and of course faced disappointments etc. but I wouldn't let it get me down, instead I would make everything a matter of prayer and it is true that God's grace is sufficient for us all. In my private prayer time I began to tell the Lord what type of husband I would like to have, the type of father I would like him to be and so on. I remember one night, my emotions took a toll on me and I sat in my living room crying/praying asking God to send a man who would love me for me. The next day (no exaggeration here!) an old friend from Jamaica called to send condolences (my father had recently passed away) and we got to talking about life, he asked me if I was single etc. and then said he had a really good friend he wanted to introduce me too. He said get to know him and see where it goes, if it doesn't work out atleast you will have gained a new friend. So I treaded carefully, we didn't move too fast. We spent time getting to know eachother talking and visiting(he would cry like a baby at the airport every time I left lol)---there was just something so special about him. Over time, I realized he had all the qualities I was looking for and had prayed about and most importantly he just showered me with love, I felt so safe with him. So one day in February, he got down on one knee and said "honey, I can't imagine my life without you...will you marry me?" and I said "yes" and the rest my friends is history! From my experience I have learned that love can find you anywhere, there are no limits, no boundaries to love and when you find it, true love you will know in your heart!!! No babies yet, but looking forward to starting a family soon xoxo
