Solomon performing at a concert |
Few
weeks later a common friend of ours introduced us to each other. At work,
Solomon was this famous singer and I was this girl who played guitar for
Christmas carols. So we kind of clicked off well from the beginning. We spoke about
school, college, family, friends, music, food, and of course about relationship.
Something about each other attracted us to become much more than friends. He
took care of me the way my dad did. He was quick to forgive. He came to church
with me. We laughed; we sang; we talked; we both knew we liked each other. One evening,
we were at a Coffee Café when he asked me if I could marry him. I gladly said, yes.
The rush of happiness exploded within me. But yea, it was impossible for us to
get together because of so many facts and differences. I asked God if he was
the one, if he wasn't I told God to take him away from my life. We fasted, prayed and together were seeking for God’s will and for our parent’s approval.
It was a long
“TIME” of waiting. I
could see God molding us and teaching us lot of patience. It was during that
“TIME” when I actually understood of
the verse, “Love is patient”. The season of silence from God was the toughest
phase. What kept me hanging on was Solomon’s faith and perseverance in marrying
me. He encouraged me through all my valley experience when he was going through
a season of storm himself. But I lost hope again. I almost gave up. I told God
to cancel this wedding if it was not His will. At that point of hopelessness, God
intervened. When it was finally
“GOD’S
TIME” everything just fell in place. Our wedding was fixed by our parents in
a miraculous way. We cried with happiness. It was
“OUR TIME”. We couldn’t believe what God had done for us.
