Meeting My Life Partner for the First Time
That particular night my father told me to go to a carnival together with my churchmates.
It's rare for my parents to allow me to go out at night, so with a happy heart I went to my churchmate's (a little kid) house. Interestingly, this was the beginning of God's special plan for my life-- the answer to my lifelong prayer.
Upon arrival, my church mate invited someone to come along to the carnival. The invited friend wanted to bring another person to join us as well. We had no problem with that, however, I thought the additional person was going to be around the same age as my church mate, but to my surprise he brought a good looking man with a beautiful skin color, hair, and one year older than me! My immediate response was to hide because I was very shy, but my heart was telling me to come out of hiding and introduce myself. With the help of the LORD I put away my shyness and introduced myself and we had a great time meeting and talking for the first time♡♡♡!!
As a result, that night was very memorable to me. Glory and praise be to God!
After that night, I browsed Facebook to find and learn more about that guy, but unfortunately I was unable to find him. Furthermore, I earnestly kept searching for him, but to no avail.
[Even though we never met before, I felt something special, as if we had known eachother for years. I began to take notice of him every time I visited my friend's house. I always saw him playing with kids, driving a motorcycle, and playing basketball.]
When I first saw him there's something special that I felt. I didn't know him so well but everytime I visit my friends house I always saw him playing with the kids, driving motor and playing basketball.
One month later, I checked my Facebook message requests and shockingly there was a message AND friend request from him! Sadly, it took a few months before I saw the message request because my phone was malfunctioning. However, once my phone started functioning, I saw his message and immediately replied with a big 👍🏼"thumbs up!" That message sparked our sweet friendship. Through our constant, personal, serious, and humorous conversations, we discovered we had the same faith in Jesus Christ! As a result of that powerful revelation, we decided to keep all of our conversations centered on God, Jesus Christ, His Word (the Bible), the Holy Spirit, and our real life circumstances. This key foundation in our friendship led us to grow and know more about eachother quickly through our common faith and desire to live according to Gods Word and trust in Jesus Christ for everything. God is faithful to those who cry out to him, and this was living proof that God heard and answered my prayer. Praise be to God!
