Wow what to say about my Gabriel, He is my very best friend,companion and lover. Just the sound of his voice calms me. He is full of wisdom, and always seeking to do better. He has inspired me , to be a better person. We have been waiting a long time to be together and just giving him the news that we didn't receive a January appointment he told me that he trust God and that we should ask God to forgive us for being disappointed and sad about the news because if he said it, he's qonna preform it, and to never doubt God or his love for us. When we first started chatting he would always say He loved me but God loves me so much more...through him I have seen a dimenstration of God's love toward's us and for us..... He is truly Heaven sent. My Angel Gabriel.

Joshua and I are connected in a way that goes beyond romance, beyond friendship, beyond what we've ever had before. It has defied time, distance, and changes in ourselves and in our lives and it has defied every explanation except one: Purely and simply we're 'Soul Mates'. We can't explain it,We just feel it. It's there in the way our spirits subtly lifts whenever we talk, it seems that everything about him is oh so perfect. Our spirits just connect in a way that I am convinced this is an unexplainable, unquestionable, undeniable LOVE. Joshua is a man after God's own heart. When my flesh was to weak to sustain, Joshua carried the cross for me by praying harder, fasting more, going to prayer meetings, and conferences. He has blessed me just by his presence in my life. I'm better so much better because of him. Joshua gives me the drive that I need to press on. he encourages my heart everyday. he is more than a conquerer. The obstacles he has gone through I would have been dead a long time ago, but God spared us just so that we would see this day and come to know each other. He showed me what it's like for someone to love you UNCONDITIONALLY. Me and Joshua look like the totally opposite couple. He is not even the type of man that I would even pay attention to . First of all he shorter than me :blink:. Than on top of that he is SO SKINTY( he is beyond skinny, he skinty). and me I am thick Sista. Not once did my weight or height make the difference. he was convinced he could handle me and HE DID :innocent:. He told me ( when I had doubts) he was in a lifetime contract so whatever was bothering me "we would work it out.

When I traded "ME " for "WE" it was all to the glory of God. Joshua is so intelligent, sincere, and a Godsent. . The distance couldn't stop nor block what God had in store for us.

The songwriter said it best,"What God has for me it is for me".

Bless you all and the marriages represented here today

I whole heartedly agree with your statements. I can not say enough about the God I serve. I have said it before, God is awsome and he shows me he loves me everyday through my husband.

I can not tell it all.

Be blessed :D

I am all that the Potter created me to be.

I celebrate, liberate and dedicate my life to His Glory.

I Am Uno!

There are many ways in which my fiance has changed my life for the better. It was amazing how we met, and how our love grew. We truly were meant to be together. I felt that when we met in person. We had an amazing time getting to know each other through the internet and telephone. We would often think and say the same things. We share many likes and dislikes, and our opinions are often the same. However, when we met in person, it felt like I had known him forever and I KNEW that this was where I was supposed to be.

One thing that he has helped me with is my self-image. I've always been heavy and I've struggled with that. I managed to get down to a size 14 once, but I was exercising hours a day and barely eating. Since I stopped persecuting myself, I'm back up in my weight. Because the media portrays beautiful as being thin, I've never really felt beautiful. But he has helped me see, through his love for me, that I AM beautiful. And he truly makes me feel so. I will forever be grateful for this wonderful man and for the love he gives to me. I only hope that I can be as good to him as he is to me.

My ex-husband Victor was a very well worded man, he's a medical doctor by trade and was extremely accomadating both times that I flew out there to Lagos to visit him, he made me feel so welcomed as did his entirely family, at least the ones a met.

The people on the street that I encountered while out and about in Nigeria were very nice also.

My ex even asked if I would like to stay in Nigeria , but quickly changed his mind when I replied yes calling his bluff. LOL

Bassi has helped me with this as well. I've always been a big girl but I gained weight after I had my daughter and things aren't as "tight" as they once were. I swear it's moving around even though I'm the same clothes size. I sometimes just stare at Bassi cause he looks at me like I'm the most beautiful women he's ever seen. All the things I seem to hate about my body he loves. He's always telling me I'm beautiful and he notices everything, like when I change my hair (yes, he's seen my hair. lol) or a new outfit. But I think I've done the same for him. He once said to me that Americans don't like Africans because their skin is too dark and he hopes our children look like me. I nearly choked, cause I know the stereotypes among black people in general about lightness, but I think Bassi's skin is absolutely beautiful. He has the darkest, richest, creamiest skin. It's amazing. Sometimes I just have to bite him cause he looks delicious! (I should note that he HATES when I bite him!) And when he's playing football and takes his shirt off! Oh LORD!!!! :devil: Sun roasted Bassi on a platter.....

Excuse me while I go and pray for forgiveness......

Dang!!! They ain't got no THROW UP symbols on this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just kidding!! Even though I don't have a SO now, but when I did, it is because of him that I was able to experience a culture outside of my own country and comfort zone. I now have a passport as before never entertained the idea of my feet being on foreign soil outside of the Virgin Islands. I'm still trying to get there though. When ever I would think about my EX I would always hear the music "A Whole New World" from the movie Aladdin, because that is exactly what my romance with him was like.

The greatest impact however was confirming that I was able to love someone more than myself, and that when love comes you know it. I used to always ask myself how do I know when I love someone? When I fell in love with him, I knew it and I embraced it wholeheartedly. I loved being in love and want to be again, but next time I want the circumstance to be mutual on ALL levels. :thumbs:
