Up until January this year, I’d been in a four and half-year relationship with a man I absolutely loved and believed was the one God had brought in my life. Along the course of the relationship I began to notice “red flags” I ignored the warning signs and continued headstrong in the relationship. I asked God to bless the relationship and did everything I could to keep it together but I soon understood that God shuts doors no man can open. End of January the relationship came to an end and I was heart-broken. I knew I had to trust God with every bit of me and so I prayed and fasted for days, weeks, months!!!
I poured my heart out to God and asked Him to heal my heart and for peace, He answered.
I prayed earnestly that God would not let the year-end with my heart still broken. God had taken me on a journey with Him this year and I’ve grown to know and trust Him more. I stopped praying for a man and instead focused on praying for a closer relationship with God. I spent hours studying and meditating on His word. Reading spirit of prophecy and praying for others. I saw the power of God at work through various answered prayers. Beginning on this month, I was so excited to take on the women set apart challenge. It’s been worth it!!! As I continued to focus on my relationship with God he began opening a door that I never thought would open. He brought me closer to a friend I’d know for over 10 years. Our friendship is evolving daily and with counsel and guidance we are taking one step at a time. God has been so gracious to me. My broken heart is mended and I’m in a loving relationship… With my Best friend! God works in mysterious ways. I asked God that the year would not end as it begun and He has answered my prayer. He answered exceedingly,abundantly more than I asked or imagined.
When we chose God and trust Him, He will open doors that no man can shut!

Beautiful testimony indeed God first all else follows. Sometimes we get so caught up in focusing on a relationship hence negleting the Father who so graciously loves us
