Marriage
I got pregnant and married at 19. The birth of my second son 10 years later marked the end of that marriage that left me with so many issues that took years to heal.
I was 40 when God gave me a second chance in marriage. This time I knew it was from Him. It was an on and off long-distance relationship that almost didn't happen. Only God could have made it happen. With all the impossibilities and impediments, I finally came to America in 2009 to marry my best friend.
Coming together was simply the beginning of a long journey of healing from our respective deep-seated issues. What we have now is the result of God's work and our surrender to His ways.
"Simplify to Intensify" is what my marriage has become. As I streamlined and dialed-in my personal goals to complement my husband's, the more effective our teamwork became.
My goal was very simple when I prayed to be married. I didn't pray to have a huge house or to be pampered materially. I told God that I wanted a husband who I can spend honeymoon with every single day.
This didn't happen overnight. But now I am reaping the answer to that prayer.
