This post is long overdue, it will chronicle the last two years of my life, my life of extraordinary favour.
You see, three years ago, mid 2012, I was in a job I enjoyed but I felt that it had no room for vertical growth and also the lessons I was learning seemed less and less as the months wore on. I was immensely uncomfortable with my pay. At the time, I was living in Donholm. The stretch to the bus stop was quite muddy when it rained and I remember pitying myself as I walked through the mud to go to work and then wash my shoes when I got to work yet all this time, I was being referred to as a “department head”. I couldn’t help but feel like there was more to be offered. I was turning 30, with no boyfriend, no car, no travels and feeling less accomplished than I had hoped. I decided to gift myself a vehicle (that I couldn’t afford) for my 30th birthday and so I joined a Sacco and started saving. I also started job hunting as I resolved to get a bigger salary to support my car dream. That’s how in Feb of 2013, I found myself at PZ Cussons.
While there, I did get to experience all that I had hoped for in terms of marketing exposure and experience, travel and yes, I got my car. I called it my baby, my little dark grey Demio. I also got double of my salary and could afford the expenses that came with the car. It was while I was there that I met him. He had a quiet way about him and courted me from a distance. He took his time to befriend me and chatted me up while i was on my trips, he eventually asked me on a date and thus began our journey together. I was not a church goer at the time and only began attending church when we started dating. Its one of those things I would hope to do and never did on my own. It was easier to do it with him and definitely has proved to be worthwhile.
I got born again in July of 2013, I started tithing regularly from never tithing, to attending church on all Sundays. Our love also bloomed and five months into the relationship we had started making wedding plans. This of-course presented a crisis as we were both in the same organisation. However, God does open doors and I got a chance to work at Nestle and moved. We continued with our plans that flowed smoothly. I cannot recall feeling stressed out about my wedding or overwhelmed. Our friends came through for us in an amazing way and gave of themselves and of their monies generously. We are also simple people with non-fussy parents so no wedding controversies or wars were experienced except for part of the extended family on my side that boycotted some of my events but that was not a noticeable or impactful mishap. We did our own thing and had our wedding in April 2015, yes, it was less than 2 years from when we started dating. If you’ve been married, you will appreciate how remarkable it is to date, do introductions and a wedding within 21 months.
Right before the wedding, I got another opportunity to improve my career to my current employer. I remember feeling a bit confused because I had not even finished my probation, I didn’t feel like I had made any impact at Nestle. I however wondered why we ask God to bless us if when he does, we are not ready to accept. As hard as it was to move from fast moving consumer goods and into Agriculture, I decided to say yes to the opportunity. God does show up in this year of his unlimited favour.
I feel blessed,
– I spent so many years dating only to find the right person so suddenly, effortlessly and got married really quick. 
– In my career as God has multiplied my success to more than I had even imagined 2 years ago. A lot of people do not get the opportunities I have gotten. I attribute this to the faithfulness I now have with what he has given me.
– I am at peace with myself and with those around me, I am what you would call a happy person.
– I have overcome the hurts that I endured in my past. The things that were taken from me and the things that were done deliberately to hurt me. I have overcome.
– I feel more dreams, forgotten ones, stirring within me, to write, to farm, to run a business, to sing…the list is endless and I am not afraid.
I don’t know what the future holds but I know it will only get better as God continues to bless me.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
