My husband and I met in January 2016 through a Christian webpage, what started as a simple acquaintance was becoming a friendship and the conversations were becoming more frequent, which gave me the feeling of having known him for a lifetime .
In April of that same year he came to Peru and that's where everything began; the chemistry flowed naturally, and I felt I could trust him, I could be myself and I didn’t need to hide anything. During The time he was in Peru, he met my uncle and aunt, my friends, and the church where I congregated. We had the opportunity to travel to Cuzco and he was amazed at Machupicchu.
In August of 2016 I traveled to meet his family and to see his country.
At the beginning of the relationship He asked me that 'during the time that we were dating we would not kiss each other in the mouth', I did not expect him to tell me that but I really liked it because he made me love him as a person, love his essence; I know that this is old fashioned or it can be crazy in this modern day, but for me it meant a lot, because it was one of the things that I took into account when I decided to marry him.
Returning to my story 😀 , the day came when I met his parents, they went to pick us up at the airport, they were very kind and attentive to me from the beginning, and that made me feel at home. Something I'm sure of, is that when God blesses his children he does it so perfectly and more than we can imagine, because he gave me a wonderful family-in-law, where I can feel and receive so much love and care, where the affection is mutual. (Ephesians 3:20)
In November of the same year I returned to Gibraltar. On this second trip I not only wanted to spend time with Adrian and learn more about him, but it was also a trip of confirmations from the Lord, so I was on the lookout for what God was putting in my heart.
On this occasion I met his childhood friends; and I also knew the church where Adrian congregated; It was wonderful to be received with great affection by the pastors and some brothers, since that day I felt part of this beautiful spiritual family, because for me that was another important point, and there was another confirmation of the Lord.
In December of the same year Adrian came to Peru to meet my parents. My parents were happy and calm when they met him, because they saw that his intentions were serious, they also noticed that he was a noble boy and good character. Adrian talked to my dad and asked for his permission to marry me, and of course my parents gave their approval.
My 2017 started in an incredible way, Adrian surprised me with a gift, it was a cruise trip with a group of brothers from the ministry of John C. (USA), wow it was our first cruise trip and we were excited.
On the same day of my trip, God gave me a beautiful promise that would confirm that it was Adrian with whom I wished to spend the rest of my life. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. (Genesis 12: 2)
Then, on February 3rd, 2017, we met again in Miami and had an incredible vacation.
On this trip, 4 important moments happened:
- On February 4, 2017 he asked me to marry him.
- We celebrated our birthdays together (Adrian- February 05 and I on Feb 08)
- We met wonderful friends, brothers in the faith that until now we still keep in contact with.
- Finally we discovered beautiful places (Amber Cave- RD, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Turks & Caicos).
After the trip the preparation for the wedding began, because we had already decided the place and the date to get married, both civil and religious.
So on April 12th, 2017 we got married in Gibraltar via the Civil Registry Office and June 17th was the religious wedding in Peru (the details of the wedding I will tell you in another post).
243 days have passed since the religious wedding, and I can say that this new season in my life, has been quite an adventure, every day that goes by we continue learning from each other and walking hand in hand with the Lord.
Today I remembered while writing my story how important it is to seek God's direction and confirmation in every decision we make in life, because He is a specialist in orchestrating everything and no detail escapes him. “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this” (Psalm 37: 5)
Before living my love story with Adrian, I went through the stages of heartbreak (I'll tell you in another post) Sometimes because of social pressure you get ahead of the Lord's plans, because you let yourself be influenced by what they say or read or you listen to them. "You’re running out of time, look at all your friends who are already married, suddenly you are the problem, etc”. That is why the waiting can be difficult, but God is there to guide us and teach us to enjoy each day.
The waiting time for me was several years, but I enjoyed them, serving the Lord in the church, with my friends, my family, traveling and growing professionally.
If you are still single enjoy your season while you are in the waiting room, find delight in everything you do, that your happiness does not depend on people or circumstances, that your happiness depends on God. “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires”(Psalm 37: 4).
Happy Valentine's Day 😍
I encourage you to listen this song, While I'm waiting by John Waller
I share this which was written by Dante Gebel
"Do not settle for less than the love you deserve"
The love you deserve is much more than a new Hollywood success, it is much more than a famous song, it is much more than a love letter full of promises.
You deserve a man who is willing to solve any difference and conflict they encounter along the way. Someone who wants to take your hand and guide you when you do not know the route and someone who also wants to follow you. Someone who supports your goals and your ambitions, someone who believes you are wonderful no matter how you look.
The love you deserve is a love that does not know about conditions, a love that refuses to tell you "I will love you only if ..." or "I will love you more if you do this or that". You deserve a love that grows with time, a love that shelters and understands.
You deserve someone who challenges you instead of simply surrendering. Someone who shares their thoughts with you honestly, because they will share their lives honestly together. Also, someone who knows how to forgive and be happy, instead of always seeking to be right.
You deserve a passion that awakens your inner being and interweaves your hearts into one.
You deserve to always feel loved, and never doubt for a moment what he feels for you.
You deserve someone who always chooses the seat next to you and who never has to brag about how lucky he is, because everyone can see it clearly on his face when he looks at you.
You deserve a true and epic love, that has all the above. You deserve to be someone's dream come true, and not the last minute idea.
Yes, you deserve it all, but that person in the world deserves it too. He deserves the woman with him to achieve everything he always wanted to have.
You yourself must justify the love you think you deserve. So become that person who deserves the world, and the world will bring you that love
