“THE DOING OF THE LORD”

It all started about two years before I officially introduced myself. I first spotted Maggie multiple times at the soccer park, and let’s just say—she had my full attention. But it wasn’t just me who noticed her; my friend and I couldn’t help but stare whenever she jogged by ; we both thought she was one of the finest women we’d seen in the neighborhood in a long time. One day, as we were watching her run, my friend turned to me and said, “I don’t know why I keep seeing her everywhere. She’s so attractive, but I’ve never had a chance to talk to her.” Oh woow! I was thinking the same thoughts as my friend, That was the moment I realized I wasn’t the only one intrigued by her beauty and class. Due to mutual friends online, her face and profile picture will always pop up as a friend suggestion on facebook and I would always ignore it. I remember asking about her in a group of friends one day, and someone chimed in, “Oh, her name’s Maggie. Everyone in the neighborhood’s trying to talk to her. But good luck—she’s not easy to win over, She might only like white guys, and honestly, she’s way out of your league, man.” Discouragement all around but you know what? That didn’t stop me. Every time I saw her, my heart skipped a beat, and I knew—one day, I’d have the chance to talk to her. Fast forward two years, and I finally saw her again—this time at a church conference. The guest pastor, Prophet Kofi Oduro, couldn’t stop mentioning her. He thanked her and her family repeatedly for their unwavering support to his ministry. At that moment, I thought, “This is it.” That same day Prophet Oduro gave me a prophetic word that confirmed my doubt and was in alignment with what God has said over my life and my marriage. Everything was just working perfectly working for my good. For the first week of the conference, I struggled to gather the courage. But by the last week, I knew it was now or never. I told the people I came with, “Today, I’m going to introduce myself—no matter what. I have fervently prayed, fasted and have been prophetically released to make my move. I feel at peace to approach her today" And I did. I did it big. In front of her brother, sister, mom, and nephew, I walked up and introduced myself. It felt like the moment was perfect—when she shook my hand, I knew it was right, nothing mattered, is as if we were the only two in the sanctuary. From that day on, I saw her almost every day for the next 5 months. And from there, the rest of our journey together unfolded. I knew from day 1 that I would marry Maggie and make her the queen of my heart.

They say love finds you when you least expect it, and that couldn’t be truer for us. We met at a church conference in 2024, where Sam introduced himself to me in front of my family. Bold move, indeed it was. From the moment we met, something just felt different—like the universe had conspired to bring us together at the perfect time. I initially thought meeting Sam would be just another friend or a fleeting interaction. Little did I know that it was only the beginning of something eternal. What started as a simple conversation quickly turned into real and deep conversations. We talked daily and saw each other almost everyday for months. From laughters to hours of chatter in each other’s presence, we found a sense of peace and belonging. Even in the midst of conflict we found ways to jump the hurdles that life threw our way. With every smile, every shared glance, and every moment spent together, our love grew into something beautiful—pure, full of joy, and comfort that felt like home. We developed a lasting bond that was highly intentional for Sam and inexplicable for myself. As we got to know each other, we realized how much we shared—not just in interests, but in values, faith, and dreams for the future. Every moment together felt as if we had known already known each other, like we had already met prior. Well, Sam had already noticed me years before but kept a distance waiting for the right time. Looking back, it’s amazing to see how everything aligned perfectly, bringing us together in a way that only God could have planned. From that first meeting to today, our love has grown in ways we never imagined. Now, as we prepare to say “I do,” we are grateful for every moment that has led us to this beautiful chapter. This is just the beginning of our greatest adventure, as we continue to flip the pages of eternity. TO BE CONTINUED… TO GOD BE THE GLORY! -OSEI
