Match Made in Heaven!

Bev and I both attend the same church, but it wasn’t until the early spring of 2023 that we had our first meaningful conversation. It happened near Aunty Chi’s business stand, a woman who’s like family to me and ran a small stand just outside the church. That day, Beverly and I found ourselves lingering there. We struck up a conversation that quickly became intriguing. Somehow, she tricked me into revealing a few personal details about myself, but when I asked her to share hers, she slyly evaded my questions. I couldn’t help but laugh! Who is this woman who dared to outsmart me? I’ll admit, her wit and charm left me curious. Fine boy like me, and this babe was already trying to play me! In the weeks that followed, I’d seen her at various church events. Sometimes, I’d play it cool and ignore her just to see if she noticed (of course she did). Deep down, I often wondered if she thought about me too. Then, everything changed on a Tuesday evening during our church’s prayer meeting. Prayer meetings were my quiet time with God, a space to connect with Him on a deeper level. That evening, I was praying about a challenge with my boss when I felt God’s word resonate: “Who is this mountain before Zerubbabel?” I knew in my spirit my prayer had been answered. As I opened my eyes, I glanced to my left and saw Beverly sitting with her friend, Ayo. But this time, she looked different, there was a shinny light all over her, almost as if I was seeing her for the first time. I thought to myself, If she walks up to me today, that’s it, that’s my confirmation. And just as I was thinking it, she approached me after the meeting to invite me to an upcoming church event. I was thrilled! I couldn’t let it show of course, but inside, I was overjoyed. Unfortunately, the day of the event coincided with my return from a trip to Calgary. I rushed straight from the airport to the event, but by the time I arrived, Beverly had already left. Later, when I told her I came but missed her, the smile on her face said it all. From that moment, everything started falling into place. One Sunday during service, we kept catching each other’s eyes. Every time I looked, she’d quickly look away, and vice versa. After the service, we talked again, and I asked how we could stay in touch. She surprised me by saying, “You could just ask for my number.” From there, our conversations grew more frequent, and the connection deepened. Aunty Chi, ever the wise one, played her part too. One Sunday, while we were chatting near her stand, she suddenly pulled us aside and said, “You two should move along.” I laughed, wondering if she knew what was blossoming between us, or if God was simply speaking through her. That moment felt like divine confirmation. The more Beverly and I talked, the clearer it became that this was no ordinary relationship. Soon, I asked her out on our first official date, a day I’ll never forget. A story for another time! She said yes, and the rest, as they say, is history. Eventually, I visited Beverly’s family to share my intentions. I was warmly received, and their response to my intentions was everything I’d hoped for. Meeting her family was a blessing and reaffirmed that this relationship was God’s design. God has been faithful every step of the way. He has blessed me with not just a partner, but a best friend, a sister, and an incredible in-law family. Beverly embodies everything I prayed for, a woman with a genuine hunger for God’s work, not for showmanship, but with a truthful desire to advance the gospel of Christ. Beverly, you are God’s gift to me. It feels as though He preserved you just for me. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you, building a legacy of love, faith, and purpose together. I love you endlessly. Here’s to us and all that God has in store for our future. With all my heart, Ezekiel❤️

The story of how Ezekiel and I met is a beautiful reminder to trust God’s timing. The first time I saw Eazy, I had no idea he’d become the love of my life. We had a brief conversation by Aunty Chi’s car, exchanged some basic info, and that was it. At the time, he was just one of the many people I casually spoke to at church. Occasionally, we’d exchange polite greetings or steal a glance here and there, but nothing seemed special. Honestly, I wasn’t looking for a relationship. I was focused on my walk with God and trusted that, at the right time, He would send my better half. Then came one faithful Tuesday evening at my church’s prayer night. After work, I showed up as I usually did (when I could), and my pastor led us through a prayer point. He asked us to pray that God would remove any veil blocking us from seeing our purpose partner. For some reason, that prayer hit differently. I prayed it earnestly, and in my spirit, I just knew it was done. At the end of the night, as I was leaving, I saw Eazy. For reasons I still can’t explain, something was different. It felt like God had lifted a veil, I was suddenly aware of him in a way I hadn’t been before. He seemed… special. We had a slightly more open conversation than usual, and for the first time, I could imagine a future with him. I even invited him to a charity event my church was hosting, “The Big Give.” (Of course, he showed up late, so I didn’t realize he was there until much later…classic Eazy!) A few weeks later, Eazy offered to drive me to Tuesday night prayers when my car wasn’t working. That ride changed everything. We started talking, and one evening, when I casually mentioned craving pepper soup, he drove all the way to my place just to bring me some. Later that same night, after we returned from a little stroll, he confessed that he’d been enchanted by me for a while. It was sweet, unexpected, and undeniably genuine. That moment was the beginning of something truly special. Since then, we’ve been inseparable. I’ve never known a better man. It’s been clear from the start that this was God’s doing. I’m constantly in awe of His goodness and couldn’t be more excited to spend forever with my man, my man, my mannn! Hehehe🤭. I love you always and forever! Thank you for being #Eazy2love🥰
