Christians: Hope, Faith and prayer

This part of my life happened around two years ago when I and my ex-boyfriend(now husband) decided to get married.

I got pregnant early and we both are very happy with the news. I am elated. Due to my husband, previous marriage is already got a blessing in the church, we did not get our blessing. We did not have a ceremony in the church and I was devastated.

The previous wife also had gotten married again. Why can't we have ours?

Losing Hope.

We tried going through all the procedures needed and after almost 4 years trying, I gave up. There is always something that preventing our forms to be accepted, always got something missing.

I start thinking, "Does God rejected me too?".

Having faith.

It was very disappointing, living with tears and losing hopes over and over again but my faith kept me going. I told my self."God did not reject anyone in the bible, it is impossible for God to reject me. If I am rejected, I would not be having a life full of blessing."

It did take me a lot of times to see al the blessing I have in my life but at last, I manage to see each of the blessings but my first pregnancy turns out to be a miscarriage. It took us a few years until I start to give up again.

Prayers.

My husband brought me to the grotto to pray. He prays and I just sit down there talking to myself.

I said, "God I know I have a lot of money problems and we do not have a good home to raise a child but I am ready to face it all with your help.

A few weeks after that, we got good news. I am pregnant and now our little girl is 2 years and 4 months old.

It is hard to keep my faith with all the rejection and disappointments, but I always find it again through others.

Some say that you can see the face of Jesus in the face of the other. I cannot see it but I believe I can feel the presence of God whenever I see others doing good deeds.

I always remind myself to keep my faith. Every hardship that I am facing is His way to make me stronger. I always believe that good things will come later.

good that you could conceive, and now you have your girl, God works in mysterious ways, and he gave you your gift, because you asked in faith ...

God does work in a mysterious way. I would never try to understand the way it work. Too complicated and I am grateful for what I have.

God doesn't reject you but people do. Marriage by the church is an invention of people too. Maria was pregnant and not married not even baptized. Do not be sad about what an institution or person says, they are not the ones to judge you. πŸ’•πŸ€

I was very sad before but now I am not. No matter what people say or do, I believe that God is good and care for me.

Jeremiah 29:11-12 For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, β€˜plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

God will always give to those who hopes and listens to those who prays. ❀❀❀
