I HAVE VICTORY
IN MY LOVE LIFE!
My relationship with Sylvester didn’t
work out the first time. I was very
needy and didn’t know my value. So
the relationship came to an end.
It was difficult not being together after
having been in a relationship for two
years. Along the way, we had done
and said things to hurt one another’s
feelings, so there was
a lot of pain involved.
We both attended the
UCKG Help Centre, but
thoughts were telling me
to give up. Nevertheless,
I reasoned with myself.
I knew that I wanted to
have God in my life, so I
started investing in my
spiritual life again, and
I gradually built myself
back up.
I realised that I needed to work on
myself. I had to cleanse my inner
being of all the hurt and pain I
had experienced. I had to forgive
him and myself, and learn to be an
independent woman because no
man loves a needy woman. At the
time, I was even looking for someone
else and there was someone I was
interested in. I had put my love
life and my trust into God’s hands
knowing that He would lead me to
the right person. And my life started
to move forward.
Two years later, Sylvester approached
me and I wondered what he wanted,
because we hardly spoke anymore. He
started talking about our relationship
before and asked me whether I
thought it could have worked. I
agreed that it could have and he said,
“I know it could have worked!” From
those words alone, I realised that he
wanted this relationship. I believe
that he had seen my change over the
past year and a half and that is what
had attracted him to me.
After talking for a few months, we
started dating again. Seven months
later we got engaged and nine
months later, we were married. Today,
we are happy together. We have been
married for seven months and it is
amazing! It’s like a dream come true.
I am so happy and all that we have
been through has helped us to know
and understand each other more.
