At last, I conributed to this thread after reading as a guest for sometime. @Seru and with a great pity ,Edkay who lost her baby after holding on for some time. One thing I have come to realise in life is that no matter the situation one sees himself or herself, God is always in control as far as you trust in him.Things will always work out for those that trust in the Lord for a positive change.One thing amazing is that he does not change. Speaking boldly from experience. There is law of nature ordained by God that things will always change once you have your trust in God. I am so glad this thread is proving that for Seru and I am assuring you ,Mrs Edkay, God will make you smile again. Trust in the Lord , whatsoever you desire , must surely come. |

Giving God the glory. Introduction of families was this morning in naija and it went very well. I didn't sleep a wink all night and you would think I was going to the embassy for a visa. Praying for God's protection and journey mercies for all those returning to Lagos. So, the first hurdle has been crossed and with God on our side, the rest as they say, is history. 4 Likes |

Re: Adjusting To Life As A Widower by serubawon(m): 4:11am On Nov 23, 2013 |
Joy4mi: Emi nikan tan. E-mentor ke? Well, I am flattered that you consider me to be a mentor and I pray that I will be able to live up to that reputation ( scary though). As a pastor's wife, the Lord shall grant you the wisdom of Christ. The bible says that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the holy, understanding". The Lord shall grant you wisdom to exceed your husband's expectations and amongst your peers, you shall excel. I look forward to hearing more encouraging testimonies. 1 Like |

Bin alone is hurtful u knw dat. God bless u al[color=#770077][/color] Thank you for the compliments and prayers. They always mean a lot to me. The Lord we serve will never put us to shame IJN. You said that being alone is hurtful and that you desire to remarry. Would you mind telling your story? I have learnt that one of the first steps to healing is to cast your burden unto Jesus. He is the only one that heals a broken heart. When I told my story on this thread 7 years ago, little did I know that the comments of the posters here would start a healing process that would help me begin to move on with my life instead of wallowing in mourning and self pity. If it worked for me, I pray that it will work for you also. I sincerely look forward to hearing your story. |

This thread is still going strong! Praise God for you brother Serubawon! For all the inspiration you've given, God has rewarded you. Stay blessed and for those still waiting, delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. For those who are brokenhearted, remember He came to bind up the brokenhearted and to set at liberty them that are bruised. He is the God of all comfort. At my lowest times, these things gave me hope and now hope has been fulfilled. I rejoice with you all in hope of the good things to come. In Jesus' precious name, be encouraged. Amen. 1 Like |

Today marks nine years that I lost a wonderful friend. The Lord has been magnificent to my kids and I and to top it up, He gave me an even more special friend. I'm divinely blessed because not all men who have had the same experience, can say the same. I thank the Lord for my kids, the memory of my departed friend and the presence of Olori, who has brought love the second time around. Happy holidays everyone! 6 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Adjusting To Life As A Widower by flakkylegend(f): 1:36pm On Dec 25, 2013 |
serubawon: Yes its dedication I wish I dedicate such time to other things also . I am one emotional smthn Stories like this inspire me. After reading the thread it was time for my morning prayers. I wanted to ask God for so many thing but couldn't find the words i was thanking God just saying alhamdulillahi. My friend lost her husband 3 yrs ago I was in my mid twenties so you can imagine hw old my friend could be. she was 31 with 3 kids, 4, 2 and 6 months old. she was not working and they were not even so comfortable when the husband was alive. But she was stong i'v neva met any1 stonger. she started by making liquid soap and selling. I introduced her to pple in my work place and they were buying they all knew her story. she strived so hard. later rented a building and started a soap making factory. Tried to get NAFDAC number but Nigeria factor she didnt get it after spending so much money. still she stayed strong. Had problems with inlaws and so on. She gave me strenght I just admired her and supported her all the way ppl thnk we own the factory together but i dnt get a dime from it. she made sure her kids went to a good schl. Just recently she got a job as lecturer in one of the federal institutions she had to close the factory cos it was in another city. few weeks ago she got married again. About 2 months ago NAFDAC no came out. God can indeed turn thing around when we least expect it. 10 Likes 1 Share |
