Hmmmm...Nice one!
STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
TOUGH TIMES DONT LAST......
I've been a bv of your blog for ages and I've read a lot of stories on marriages.
I will appreciate your posting this anonymously to encourage someone out there.Marriage is not easy because of the trials and tribulations and the work and patience involved. I want to tell my story to encourage couples out there passing through trying times that with God Almighty, all will definitely be well.
My 8th anniversary is coming soon and after gisting with a friend who's also a bv some days ago, God's wonders in my home dawned on me again.
I have 3 children and I've passed through difficult times. Periods of homelessness and squatting with others (my husband and I and our 3 children).
Periods of having nothing to eat, my husband's business being at a standstill we had to sell "everything" we owned.
But one thing we always had was love and the ability to laugh and dream despite the lack.
I even do giveaways sometimes because no where to put the things and nobody to buy it so na to give out.
There were times the food we have will not be enough for all of us and after our children eat, my husband will form he's not hungry so I won't feel guilty eating the little left. I'll form I'm not hungry too and we will end up sharing and be half full.
There were times my son won't be able to eat the mixture that I cook because he doesn't understand it. Lol
There were times I go into the toilet and I cry my heart out because this wasn't how we planned our family to be.
There were whole terms my children didn't go to school because we couldn't pay fees, buy snacks, and couldn't afford anything.
I always consoled myself with the song by mary mary :
"i just can't give up now,
I've come too far from where I started from,
nobody told me the road wont be easy but I don't believe He's (God) brought me this far to leave me"
I was recently able to start a small business and for me and my family, its a big deal.It was difficult getting start up capital which was not much after years of looking for loans and where else to get money from but God made it possible. And I know things will only get better henceforth.
Before I leave for my shop in the mornings, my daughter usually prays with me so that I'll make sales and God has been good.
I'm not nearly where I want to be but this is a very small first step for me and my family to encourage everyone passing through trying times in their homes/marriages that God always makes a way.
I couldn't have been able to hold up if not for God and the amazing man my husband is. He's been my greatest support and I could only bear the suffering we went through because of the love we have for each other.

*To even think that moments like this that you described have broken up couples who couldnt stand it all..So happy for you and I hope any couple going through this will learn that tough times dont last,only tough people do!
@Poster Your patience is really top notch...plus the love you and your hubby have is really genuine and not based on material things.
ReplyDeleteSDK that's true some couples would have just gone their separate ways..
Thumbs up poster.. .it will get better 👍👍
Nice one poster. More blessings.
DeletePoster the God who created you and blessed you with those children will see you through
DeleteSomething to encourage those of us who think hardship is the end of it all...Gods grace to you
DeletePoster, I can relate with you because I have been there and almost getting out in Jesus name. It is not easy but what can we do but to keep trusting and believing in God.
DeleteI usually come here to forget all my worries as I can not kill myself na... Lol.
It is is not easy but God is in control.
My dear no one has a choice anymore than to stay together. God would show up for you guys, having kids in such situations ain't easy but we still thank God for life
DeleteLook at hopes and dreams. Una well don o
DeleteAwwwww
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you. May God continue to provide for your family and bless you.
Cool but hubby needs to sit up. Broke men are very loving, considerate and patient.
DeleteAnon 17:01 Did she mention that her husband is a lazy man? You guys just sit behind your phones and type what you know nothing about.
DeleteMadam, may God bless you beyond your imaginations.
Most couple couldn't stand it..cos loads of men will start beating up their wives when they are frustrated...Whatever what the situation is...both must show love..
ReplyDeleteMay God bless you and also bless the works of your hands.
ReplyDeleteIndeed Tough times don't Last,Only Tough people Do.
#No matter what the situation is, remind yourself that you have a choice*
ReplyDeleteHmm tear jerking stuff I love love but it eluded me in marriage. I want to sow a seed in your business so that real love will find me . What's your mail dear ?

ReplyDeleteWorry no more poster, pleasant surprises beyond your expectations will overwhelm you and your family.
ReplyDeleteAwwn so touching... God bless your family ma'am
ReplyDeleteIt will end in praise n Thanksgiving soon🙌😄
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me when in this blog the "clique" that brag about wealth that they don't actually have puts that as the only thing that matters in a marriage.
I've read things like "love is not enough . .." and when I probe further, all they talk about is wealth. They forget that wealth springs wings and vanishes.
When this poster married, she might not be wealthy but they were comfortable. Somethings happened that they did not plan for.
That is the when one knows how faithful they are to each other.
I won't be surprised that that same clique will come to brag that "he' the husband will abandon her to seek other "fresher babes" once he has money. . .
Everybody isn't the same. Money cannot suffice for love. Love conquers all and when folks believe, they can achieve anything.
Hmmmh
DeleteA good lesson for "the marry him if he is rich" folks. One that is rich today may not be rich after marriage or through it.
ReplyDeleteTimes of trials may come and that is when a man knows if he is married.
Indirect begging things
ReplyDeleteIs it your begging. Tap 👄.
DeleteIs it your begging. Tap 👄.
DeleteDid she ask you for money. And I did not see u offering any. So just shut the fuck up
DeleteLesson:
ReplyDeleteThings are not always the way you plan it to be.
Be careful to marry someone you love and connect with, not someone who loves what they see around you.
Nice narrative with great lesson. Kudos
ReplyDeleteGod that has begun this good works in your family will perfect it in Jesus name, amen. It can only get better.
ReplyDeleteMay God bless your family
ReplyDeleteWhy not add your stats and location. Maybe a Bobo will respond. Not only prayer everytime
ReplyDeleteMarriage is really very hard and full of trials. One day I will tell my story too. Suffice it to say, without God where would I be? #18yearsandcounting; you're still the one babe
ReplyDeleteIt's well
ReplyDeleteAwwwww poster I'm inspired by your story.Truly marriage is not a bed of roses! But one thing I know is that with focus,God,and love by the two persons involved, there is no way the marriage will not be full of blessings.
ReplyDeleteShalom!
May God bless you for sharing Poster, may God's love, peace and unity continue to be with you, hubby and the kids, and may he bless your home abundantly.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good woman indeed, may God take you and your family to a higher ground. Congratulations
ReplyDeletekudos....God bless ur home....
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord continue to sustain your marriage, and bless the work of your hands. Your testimony has only begun, greater things He would do, keep trusting.
ReplyDeleteI love your story poster and i wish you well in all your endeavors.
ReplyDeleteThe love you and Hubby share is soo genuine, i could feel it reading your story.
Thanks for sharing
Lecon seul l'amour peut vous voir a travers le temps difficiles.
ReplyDeleteOne I picked here is LOVE and FAITH
ReplyDeleteGod bless ur family
MC Pinky
Thanks for sharing this. I can't feel your pain cos I've not walked in your shoes but I can imagine how agonizing it is when your kids look at you and ask why they're not in school or why they're not eating a certain meal. The God that has brought you thus far shall surely perfect His work in your lives.
ReplyDeleteThings are turning around for your good in Jesus name.
ReplyDeleteThis chronicle is gonna heal lots broken home,nice one poster may the lord continue to stand by your home and provide for you.
ReplyDeleteLove is very enough in marriage. I just pray the man remains thesame when he starts making money. Men are very humble when they are broke. Happy wedding anniversary wishing you all the good things of love.
ReplyDeleteAwwww.....This is so touching. God will continue to bless your home
DeleteHmm.. This is really touching. Going through same face, but I know God will not bring me this far to abandon me. My husband came home in tears yesterday cuz I am sick and I told him I wanted Akara and Pap for breakfast. He went out and promised to get it on his way, when Okowa police held him and he had to give them, the last 2k on him, he was scared to come back to me. Lol... This is a man that has given me the best treat in my life, the man that makes me travel anywhere by flight, the man that paid my masters fees, so why cry cuz of Akara? I just laughed and I see sincere and true love in his eyes. No matter what I won't trade what we share for anything. I know we will soon be back to normal cuz he is not a lazy man. I just pray God touch the heart of his cousin that duped him of 15million to return the money.
ReplyDeleteLife is not easy ooo
*phase
Delete19:16, God will pave ways for you ma. Things will get better and the cousin will do his restitutions.
Delete*loyal bv*
I am in tears when I imagined the fear of telling you he couldn't get the Amara. Life happens but God can't and won't fail.
DeleteAm at this phase also,but my Hope is in Good to see us and through.it is well
ReplyDeleteHmm! Madam you really tried. Don't worse God will come through for you. Never lose faith and keep praying for your husband.
ReplyDeleteMadam I admire you and the strength you have. You have inspired us with your story. God bless you ma and your family. The attitude of gratitude you have will place you on top.
ReplyDeleteThank God for the true love you and your husband have for each other, it played a major role in keeping you both. God will make all things beautiful for you n yours in Jesus name.
ReplyDeleteGod bless your home poster.
ReplyDeleteNothing like peace and love in trying times.
The season of harvest shall come.
Dear Poster,
ReplyDeleteYou will definitely laugh last
Ps 126 v 1-3
It seemed like a dream, too good to be true,
when God returned Zion’s exiles.
We laughed, we sang,
we couldn’t believe our good fortune.
We were the talk of the nations—
“God was wonderful to them!”
God was wonderful to us;
we are one happy people.
Thanks for sharing this ma'am,I haven't been here for ages.Reading your chronicles has encouraged me. For four years I have been carrying 90% of my family's responsibilities.My husband lost his job and has been trying to get another job but it's not an easy task.In fact I haven't been through what you have been through but I understand that feeling of helplessness and being broke.Thankfully my stepbrother has been kind enough to give us shelter whilst we try to pay some bills here and there. God has been faithful and I am grateful even though I am not where I want but I don't beg to eat.
