I saw her, I love what I saw and I went for her. I had share a few times about our past, so you may know little.

I saw her, I love what I saw and I went for her. I had share a few times about our past, so you may know little.
After things started getting serious and beautiful. I planned a move to surprise her; so I told her to meet me at a quite place. I was going to propose to her.
Before then I had the conviction that she is the one.
It was in the night. The sky was bright and the stars were made for the 'hour'. It was awesome!
Not long she showed up; there were so much of 'beautiful exchanges'. While we continue to get along, she decided to 'head up' first. I was so interested to hear her talk about things. The love was new!
But My heart discontinued when she broke it to me that she was an asthmatic person and not only that, she was always having this frequent chronic stomach pain that had lasted for 7 years.
I remained numbed while she tried telling all. My eyes went blur. Those unwanted 'water' busted to made it so. I could not hide my feelings. She told me she was sorry.
"Don't be" I replied.
Apparently, she must have seen my love for her, 'burning' right inside my eyes. Our meeting had end on the 'spot'. It was an unpleasant news to deal with.
Something inside me said it won't work. She is going to be a liability.
I remained silent still.
She left first without saying goodbye. I reluctantly stood up; and That walk home was the longest ever. I cried like a scrawny. That was March 12, 2012.
I prayed about it. I'm not that kind of spiritual holy brother. I only asked God why he allowed me to love someone this much just to make me feel hurt. It was more of a 'charge-prayer' than a plea. As it is written: God is love, love is God! If it be so, then let love lead.
In the morning around 6am, I walked about 300m to her place. she woke up to my marriage proposal. And It was a  "YES".
I took it upon myself to come over fear, it remains the toughest and greatest decision I've taken ever.
She lived with it ( we both lived with it) and i saw it as part of my new life.
Not a few who also will read this, rallied round for us. They all know what I'm talking about. It was always an unpleasant experience.
We got married 2015 Jan 7th; after a long wait. Late that year I went to serve in Abia state when I suddenly remember my wife's health situation having seen someone 'losing' her breath during a 'March-past'. I made a call right away to check on my asthmatic wife, and also having failed to ask for a while concerning her health and when last she had experience the asthmatic attack.
Her reply was beyond belief. she told me the last time she had both the chronic stomach pain and the asthmatic attack was days before our wedding. As at then when I asked, the wedding was 10 months. That is, she didn't experience any of the pains for 10 months. I didn't believe! She insisted. But truly there wasn't any time she complained. I realized.
As I write, it's 4 years and its all gone. Gone forever!
There were somethings she was restricted not to do, not to eat, where to go... But That is not the same any longer.
Things have changed. And I love it now when she fry me plantain, she couldn't do that before! It was our first miracle after wedding.
Love healed us. God who is also love changed her story.
You see, Those things which are yours, do not lose because of certain challenges.
People may not look so good; their lives may look marred but who knows, YOU may be the missing puzzle needed to make their life complete.
Thank you for reading!

Steps on how to perform the purification bath (Ghusl/Jannabat) in Islam. *Rules Regarding Ghusl and Wet Dreams for Men and Women*

*BED ~ WETTING & GUSL ~ JANABAH* *Rules Regarding Ghusl and Wet Dreams for Men and Women* *Q u e s t i o n s:* (1) I have learned that if a women who has reached puberty has an erotic dream and sees some discharge afterwards, she has to make Ghusl. (2) If she sees discharge alone without remembering a dream, she would also have to take Ghusl. But if she remembers only the dream without seeing discharge, she doesn’t have to take Ghusl. (3) What if a women constantly has discharge? How does she know when to take Ghusl and when not? (4) Can u briefly explain the step by step way of performing Gusl Janabah according to Sunnah? *R E S P O N S E* بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم *With regards to wet dreams, men and women have the similar rulings.* *So, if a man or woman has a wet dream and he/she sees wetness/discharge they are obliged to make Ghusl, even if they are not certain the wetness is from an ejaculation/orgasm. In other words, even if he/she has constant di...

CHOOSING MY PARTNER ON SOCIAL MEDIA

*CHOOSING MY PARTNER ON SOCIAL MEDIA* *(An Admonition To Today's Youth)* I think you need to give a thought to this reminder, Allah bless you. Please be careful what you see in the distance for it may not look the same when it gets closer. Do not promise marriage to the person you just met on social media because sometimes you will be taken in by our posts only to realize that it's all 'cut and paste'. Many would-be couples have ran away because after meeting the partner they realized that this is not what they bargained for. Do not forget, appearances are deceptive. This person may post beautiful articles on Facebook with thousand likes and hundreds of comments but at the end of the day you find him as a dull and unintelligent man. Furthermore, many immoral persons may post Eeman-filled advices on Facebook and WhatsApp (If you see their prowess on WhatsApp pages you may even think they are the Mufti of Makkah) only to turn out to be irresponsible peop...

Everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME. Don’t be violent or mean to yourself for no reason other than just because your path is different from the person’s path beside you.

*TIME IS SOMETHING* She is married at the age of 21. - Oh and I’m still single at 35. She’s momming three kids. - Oh and I am 10 years married and have none. She is a manager in an international company. - Oh, we graduated together and I am still jobless. She travels the world . - Oh and I have never been abroad. Job title, income, grades, house, and Instagram and Facebook  likes—the number of categories in which we can compare ourselves to others are infinite. Where is it expected from you to be a doctor or engineer, get married by 21 and have mortgaged house and 3 kids by 26. RELAX. You’re not LATE. You’re not EARLY. Everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME. Don’t be violent or mean to yourself for no reason other than just because your path is different from the person’s path beside you. Be your own cheerleader. Stop comparing yourself with others and instead refocus all that energy internally and focus on how you can become the best ve...
