There are so many people out there searching for a mate, and I and my husband had been on the same path as many of you are on right now. The weight seemed long sometimes, and some of you might have asked the question…When is he/she going to come? Am I going to be single for the rest of my life? Have I done something wrong? Etc. But I am here to tell you when you seek the Kingdom of God first, are about your Father’s business, and are obedient, then He will give you your desire, as He has done with us. So for the next few days I wanted to share our testimony with you all from each of our perspectives. Today my husband wrote up from his side how everything came to be between us. As you read this ladies I want you to remember that it says ” He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.” Proverbs 18:22. Another quote I love says “A woman’s heart should be so lost in God, that a man has to search God to find her. I’m telling you ladies that’s what it is about, and that is how it worked for me, so stop looking for him, and let your husband find you! I pray that our story will bless you all…
On January 28, 2009 my prayer that I prayed and been confessing for the past three years manifested. I prayed and was confessing that God develop me to be the type of leader, father, and husband that he wanted me to be. On January 28th after years of development God revealed to me who my wife was to be. Right there in Wednesday night service I saw a woman that caught my eye, and I said to myself she is soooo cute. God told me that she is your wife, I said whaaaaaat, get outta here, He said go talk to her. During the service I couldn’t get this girl off of my mind, but I couldn’t yet grasp the fact that she was the one that God has been preparing me for and I was the one he had prepared for her. At the end of service I left quietly not saying a word to her, as soon as I left the building she was on my mind, as a matter of fact she stayed on my mind 24 hours a day. I couldn’t understand why, because I didn’t know who she was, anything about her, I didn’t even know her name. So I told myself later on in that week after my morning meeting with the Father, that I would approach her next Wednesday night in church. As soon as I told myself that God told me that she wasn’t going to be there next Wednesday. I tried to ignore it but when I went to church that next Wednesday surely as he said, she was nowhere to be found. I said OH LORD I have to go another week feeling this way about this girl that I don’t even know. So as I was going through another agonizing week, my heart yearning for a stranger at the time I was laying in bed and watching the service where Pastor Dollar came to Living Word to speak, and I was thinking to myself, “God if this is the person you want me to marry give me a sign” before I could even finish my thought BAM there she was on my television screen. The camera was panning through the audience and it had stopped directly on her for a couple of seconds, just enough for my confirmation. Me being very excited that this was actually happening to me after years of prayer and confession, I wasn’t going to let another opportunity pass me without speaking to her. So on Wednesday night January 28th 2009 I went up and spoke to her, on February 5th, 2009 we became an official couple, and on March 17th 2009 we were joined together in the holy union of marriage. Isn’t God awesome?
Habakkuk 2:3
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
