It’s been a
while since my last post; I have been too busy getting married and settling
into married life. My love for writing had to take a temporary back seat,
actually that’s a lie…The truth is that I have been going through so many
emotions for the past year that I have been a bit afraid to put it to paper. I
decided however with the mentoring of my amazing husband to actually put words
to paper and write about the amazing yet defining moments of the past year of
my life.
It is indeed
very true, if ever any of you doubted trust me I experienced it first-hand that
with every decision or any task God always provides all you need, the
ammunition so to speak in order to achieve the task that you have set out to
achieve. What’s that saying “The will of God will never take you where the
grace of God will no sustain you” My o my is that true…..
My husband
then fiance and I got engaged last year and started to plan our wedding around
September 2013. I will never forget the day that we decided on a month, my
husband said to me that day, let’s partner with God. He then went on his knees
and in that very moment invited God into it all and told God that no matter
what, we choose to partner with him in planning our wedding and making the day
God’s day. That was the best decision that we EVER made, infarct that decision
was our saving grace. Had we decided to go at it alone as with anything without
God, I am more than confidant that we would have failed but because we
partnered with God, It turned out to be the best day of both our lives till
date? Of course the best days are still ahead and we believe that and we live
in that truth expectant of Gods glory in our marriage every day that we share
together as husband and wife.
For some the
process of planning a wedding is just a process, they go through the motions
and do what needs to be done having not learnt anything at the end of it all,
for me it was a spiritual journey, one which awakened me to so many things and
a journey that shaped me and developed my character for the better. A journey
for which I will be forever grateful because the life lessons that I learnt out
of it are invaluable and I could never put a price on it.
My character
was tested and my faith in God was tested, it was an experience in which I had
to dig down beneath and choose my own path and not the path that was expected
of me and not a path that had been prepared for me by man. All that mattered
was God and his will and plans for my life. I had to decide to take the usual
route and hope that I arrive at my destination or choose the road less traveled and trust that the same God in whom I had put my faith into when we
decided to partner with him would see me through this road less traveled and
help me in arriving at my destination. I decided to take the road less traveled and it was the best decision that I could ever have made.
The road
less travelled to me represented adventure, freedom to be who I have been
called to be, freedom to follow my heart, the road less traveled represented
happiness and Joy and unity but it also represented me having to close the door
to some things in the past and look forward to the bright future that God as
prepared for me.
I took the
road less travelled and in that road God was there, he walked with me, he held
my hand, he wiped my tears and made me smile. He assured me of the future and
promised me that he would always be there. I was never alone in my road less traveled; God provided sisters, parents, mentors, friends and many more. He
then decided to show off completely by blessing me with a gift that I never
expected at the end of the road. It most defiantly was a show stopper, My Show
Stopper!!!!!
Where ever
the will of God takes you the grace of God will sustain you. He defiantly
showed up big time for me and I know he will do the same for you. Where ever
life may take you, whichever road you may decide to follow in your life, please
do not travel alone. Invite God to take control, partner with him in all things
and trust God to direct your path for he surely will.
Every
Journey in life is meant to define us, it would be such a waste to just go
through things and not come out of it as the person that God intended, having
no learnt the lessons that we are meant to learn. What a waist it would be.
Therefore in all circumstances, even if it is whilst taking the road less travelled, Trust in God and rely on him to bring out the best possible you out
of all situations.
My road less travelled was the defining point in my life and now I came out of it a stronger
me and even more ready to trust in God and be led by him. Basically I am ready
to conquer the world so watch out!!!!
