How We Met

The Lord is Faithful

Richard: I had just graduated Bible school in 2023.I told the Lord that I did not want to wait till I am older being 24 at the time, since I had stayed celibate for 6 years. And I didn't see any red flags in my life I felt ready to go, so I started the hunt. I also knew I needed a specific type of Lady, a Firstborn lady, assertive but not bossy and only one lady fitted this criteria my Esther. I started chasing her in September, she was definitely not an easy catch, she actually rejected me at first, but I choose to be patient because I really liked her and I knew she lowkey liked me. She finally opened up to me in October and that was the Green light i needed. Through faith patience and convincing rizz we went on our first Date December 15th. I did ask the Lord to speak to her on my behalf and the Lord did and she officially became my girlfriend at the end of March, I knew I was going to marry her since December 2023, six months later June the 18th I went on my knee and she gladly said Yes I do to this Kenyan man. I genuinely thank the Lord for giving me this hidden Gem. I Love her with all my heart. Esther: Richard was very persistent and never gave up on chasing me. He was and still remains determined to never let me go. I can't run away because he’s African and has fast feet. If you told me months ago that I would be engaged to Richard and becoming a Kiaha soon I would laugh. I never noticed Richard before I only knew who he was but not really who he is. September 2023 this man chased me to the ends of the Earth. He would start random conversations, he would appear out of nowhere, he would know my schedule; even when I hid and ran away he would always see me or find me. The Lord dealt with me to stop doing that to get to know him to stop being so stubborn so I decided to be nice for once and talk to him and get to know him. Surprise I started liking him and falling for him but I denied it to the point I seeked out to see what my family, friends, and leaders thought of him to get something to make me back out from moving forward with him but guess what…Everyone I spoke too always said the same thing “Richard is amazing! I love Richard! Such an amazing and respectable young man! Such a Faithful servant!” Not one person I spoke to said anything negative about him so I decided to take it to the Lord. I took it to the Lord and here we are now engaged, planning to get married to the love of my life. Richard was a complete stranger a year ago to me and now he’s my best friend. A man who never gave up on the girl who would run away from him.

For all the days along the way
