I TIED THE KNOT ON THE D-DAY

It was on this very day, a very memorable Easter Sunday, been 16th April 2017 my status changed in the presence of many witnesses in the church. I was very happy and somehow sad because my immediate family members were not present. It was a mixed feeling for me because people who were supposed to be with me were nowhere to be found, none of my brothers, only one of my sister, was present on this very day, but I saw the hand of the benevolent one. At the dying minute somehow the benevolent one raised men who stood with me, despite I was afraid that I will be disappointed because the majority of the things I needed did not come as at when due. However, at the very moment when it seems as if all hope was lost, I got everything supplied.

After I had left the first bank along Opkuto road Idrukam, took bike straight to my friend’s house, rushed in, dressed up sharply and dashed out, looking for a bike, while my wife’s calls kept increasing my adrenaline, because when she called, she will start shouting, “Where are you? You are supposed to be in the church before me, and now we are here in the church waiting and you are not yet here”. I could not even explain myself, because explaining myself plunges me into more excuses and it was not helping things at all. I got down to the church, we were already called to march in and instantly started marching in and it was not an experience I have never had, I have not even done best man or had ever been part of the groom’s men, so it was like I am a stranger, with all eyes on me. The atmosphere was tense with an irresistible ambience and dazzling beauty. I could feel glory, even as the moment ushers me into a dimension of changed status from single, to a married man.

This D-day was Easter Sunday after I was joined with my wife in the church, I could not believe that not just one of my uncles and aunties from my paternal family was present, I only had my aunties from my maternal family who stood with me throughout the process. God did not disappoint me and the good news is that He allowed all that happened to happen so that no man will take the glory. My uncle’s wife rejected my wedding invitation for the reason that will shock your imagination, but God did not reject my faith, because of His faithfulness, He did not fail in any of His promises concerning me. My God is simply amazing and He is truly a miracle worker, way maker, life changer and my light in the darkness to instil hope when all hope seems to be lost. God’s grace is the hope at the end of the tunnel when we throw not the towel, going through the dark tormenting moments of situations that could sometimes leave us with an option to say God is not been fair. Have you ever thought God is not been fair? Then, despair is your hope if you do not desist from such thoughts. God is never late, but we are so impatient to wait to see God do that which He has promised, so we run out because of doubts and end up regretting not being patient. God is always on time, even when men delay you because of unnecessary hates, they are helping you to reach faster the place of abundance, and you seriously need to learn from Joseph’s experiences.
