My fingers tremble slightly as I try to put in the way I feel tonight for the wwworld to know. To put it briefly – tonight I discovered that Gods amazing plan for my life included an awesome girl called Rebecca…… I’ll never get the words to express how it felt when on the phone Becky and I decided that we would spend the rest of eternity together!
As is typical in the Indian culture My family and her family had met in Trichy to see if a marriage could be worked out. Initially, I was a little displeased when my parents talked about the arrangement and so was Becky apparently. But God moved beautifully and when we met 7 days ago we were very comfortable with each other. We were however definitely not prepared to make any commitments and decided to break traditions by simply talking on like friends for a week or so. And boy! did we speak….. hours and hours…. about everything except marriage.
And today we felt something move in us and at 11.45 PM the words just tumbled out and we were soon awestruck as Gods plans seemed so clear and beautiful.
And just as we sat with the phone glued to our ears savouring the moment I got a call from the ward about a kid who came in with seizures….!!!!!! The magic was not lost though as it took me only a few minutes to sort out the child and soon Becky and I were lost in enjoying the awesomeness of what was happening. We didnt feel like hanging up till 3 AM when we finally unwillingly decided to hang up.
Its amazing… Gods plans for my life is so much better and nicer than anything that I could have dreamt or thought about. I never in my whole life thought that I would be willing for an “Arranged Marriage”… but then when God arranges something I guess He makes it so special……
Today is the BEST day of my life …….
