The GREAT GOD behind a tough woman

This day has arrived. Many untold stories which contains tears, joy and pain. Every struggles, tests, obstacles were all worth it for a woman. The Lord has taught me how to fight tough battles.

30th June 2012, marks a significant day for the us. VINZ and I are annoucing our convenant in GOD's presence and people of believers and non believers as husband and wife. To many couples out there, could be just an ordinary wedding. A wedding that most people would come and share their joy BUT for us, it is a EXTRAORDINARY wedding.

Many who have known, watched how we have grown. Glory to Glory. How VINZ and I have fought every warfare. Every tears we shed, every struggles we went through. Every moments where I kneel before God and desperately crying out to Jesus for solutions and complaining to HIM what I have to go through with my in law, Jireh, Deborah and also VINz.

Many test had been set to test my faith and trust in Jesus. I dont deny that I have stumbled and at desperately moments wanting to even give up but God was faithful. HE loved me. HE sent godly people to encouraged me, prayed for me and supported me.

Deb (10 yrs old) and Jireh (11 years old), two beautiful children, sensible, understanding and independent. Fours years of nuturing, educating, loving, scolding, discipling them. 2009-2010 was a difficult season for me and to the extend of falling into depression from time to time. Deborah was challenging in her behaviour and wasnt easy dealing with in law as well. I had to put up a strong front as so that the family will not collaspe. VINz was always busy with work and not much of support at home as well and so it led to many nights with wet pillow as I would often cry myself to sleep.

It was in the year of 2011 when Vinz was baptize in Jesus name and he was much stronger in the Lord and I saw the changed in him. Little by little, we were getting along well. I thank god we went through a season of counseling with pastor and as well as family Trans Centre. We gone through family counseling and maritial counseling. We heed some advises given to us and our relationship path began to straighten out.

I know... i know.. in most cases, many would have just walked out of the relationship but for me? I hope in the Lord and I believe that I was given a mission to fulfill in their lives. My in law, my future husband and my step chiildren. I did not know what the outcome would be but I didnt give up but I kept pressing on and allow God to bring me to a level of breakathrough.

Many miracles started to take place. We bid for our 4 room flat and we got it. There was a job promotion, increase in finances, temporary 2 room shelter provided for our family and nevertheless our marriage is the greatest miracle.

Honestly, if not because God has provided continously provided for us and sending the right people to my life and prayed for me, I wouldnt know if I would have continued this journey.

I thank God for HIS grace and mercy in my life and for HIS faithfulness... for those who has seen how we have journeyed in this four years, I believe it would be a touching testimony!
