Incoming miracles
Anyone getting married would know the cost involved or at least have a hint of what the "damages" are.
In any case, faith is often put to the test here. Do you dare to imagine the cost of putting a house together, the renovations, the furnishings, the cost of the wedding itself, photography, her gown etc? Everything costs something.
I dare to be honest here and say that our bank account was starting to look dreadfully low in funds and there was the need to get a reno loan done as well. Thinking about the interest alone puts me off. Basically, both May and I agreed mutually that we wouldn't ask our parents for money. We find it hard to even open our mouths too.
But the first miracle came earlier this month when her mom suggest to loan us whatever monies we need to renovate the house! 2nd miracle was my dad was agreeable to loan me another smaller amount initially for the renovations but now used for furnishing our house! With that, the renovation issue has become much easier on us and our pockets. Thanks be to God.
And the most recent miracle; May's grandmothers decided to bless us with a sum of money. And quite a substantial amount too!
Such is the beauty of these gifts when you least expect it... I'm touched, really I am. And quite lost for words to express gratitude to these people, and God.
All this happening even before our wedding day. Amazing grace really. (And a great feeling that there is more to come up to the day and beyond)
Praise Jesus!
