a few months ago i wrote about the struggles my fiance and i were having with our wedding. through months of prayer, i am so happy to say that we have surpassed the biggest hurdle along the way. we had our cultural wedding ceremony a few weeks back and it went a lot better than we had anticipated. originally, my fiance's side of the family was not going to participate because we wanted to have a Christian ceremony without doing the cultural rituals his family requested. it was a huge struggle for us and we almost broke off the wedding altogether. however, with our friends and family praying for us every step of the way, God provided for us and both families came together under God. although his side of the family has not yet accepted Christ, it was a blessing to know that God worked in their lives to see why we felt so strongly about having a Christian wedding without doing the cultural rituals of ancestral worship.
the entire time i had very little faith that his side of the family would understand since they didn't know God. however, Jesus also said that all it takes is faith the size of a mustard seed in order for God to move mountains. God has been more than faithful to us even when we were on the verge of splitting up because of the differences in faith from both sides of the family. i continue to believe that miracles still happen; our wedding and marriage would never have even been possible had it not been for God and the transformation in our hearts to really live for Him and not for our own selfish needs. although we will continue to struggle with ourselves and God's purpose for us, i have faith that God loves us unconditional and wants our hearts to be connected with His.
God is good!
