Welcome to another amazing week in the hive community,I am excited to share my good memories in 2025.
I am not going to talk about the bad days in 2025, not because I don't have any but because I want to be grateful to God for the good days.
Honestly this year is much different than other years to me, every year during cross over night I due have a lot of things to achieve in the coming year but at the end of the year I don't achieve any aside the fact that I am alive and not in the hospital.
And honestly I get sad and angry mostly feeling like God is not with me, but I am still thankful to God. I'm thankful for life because as they say where there is life there is hope.
While growing up I had my life planned out,done with high school at the age of 17,be admitted to the University of my choice and after 5 years I will be done with university, by then I will be 22 years old, get a job and by 25 years old I will be married.
But this was not the case,every year I kept hoping to achieve one of these but none was achieved until I turned 24 years old. I got admission to college of education in Akwangan Nasarawa State, then 25.
Last year I was 25 years old crossing to 26, during the cross over from 2024 to 2025. This time I didn't write a long list like usual.I ask God for just one thing,I don't want to celebrate my 26 birthday in my father's house,I want to celebrate it in my husband's house.
Now I had two men in my life,one was my long time boyfriend who was not making any moves towards marriage because he is not financially capable.
The second was someone who I just met. He was good, understanding how I feel even before saying it.But he was not also financially capable,so none of them was an option.
Now when I made this prayer, firstly I had none of them in mind but I will be glad if it will be any one among them, secondly it seems impossible to me plus God has not really answered my prayers in past years so I really didn't hope much.
But something happened in early January, my long time boyfriend said that he wanted to marry me before the end of the year.I didn't take him seriously,I only replied okay.
I resumed school and continued my life. My parents called and told me that he came with his parents, but still didn't take him seriously until he told me that the church has set the date for May 17 2025, which is before my birthday because my birthday is 12 June.
By May 17 2025 I was married and not to a stranger but to someone I knew for over four years.I celebrated my 26 birthday at my husband's house. That made me realize that God's ways are not the same as the ways of man.
