Life is too short. You don’t know when you’ll breathe your last breath. It may be today, or tomorrow, or ten years later. So, if you need to say something, say it now”.  A little voice kept telling me this today.. and so I decided to blog about whats going on in my life.

Yes, this is definitely about my new boyfriend, but there’s more to that. I want to share about how God works in my life, and how I've come to learn that He is a living God,  Jesus Christ, is a living God and He listens to our prayers.

Last year, our Pastor in Saraighat Community church preached about how we should search for our life partners. He gave us an example from the Bible, about Isaac and Rebekah. Pastor said, “Write down the qualities you want your life partner to have, and pray about it, pray about it everyday and Jesus will answer, He will answer one day”. I took it very seriously. Because many of my friends are now happily married. My best friend got married six years ago, God gave her a loving husband early, and she is now busy with three beautiful kids. For me, my education was more important than a husband those days. But this time, i'm serious about what Pastor said. So, after going back from church, I decided to write down the qualities I want in a guy. After writing, I stared at it for a really long time. I thought to myself  “This kind of guy will be very hard to find, and even if there is one, I don’t deserve him, I don’t deserve someone so good, when all my life I've not been good”. I sheepishly prayed about it, and kept the note safely in my drawer.

As I mentioned in my earlier posts, we have a prayer group here in our hostel. We gather every night and pray for each other. So praying about our life partners became a very important topic, we never miss out this prayer point. Thanks to my prayer group, I would have stopped praying about it a long time ago, but this fellowship with my Christian friends keeps me strong, even when I am weak by myself. I love you guys!

And so, the story starts :-) Last March, I went home for my brother’s marriage. I saw this familiar face at the airport. He was someone I knew in high school. We said Hi, and he was on his way home too. Though we were both in Guwahati, our paths never crossed. It was just a few minutes talk, and we parted our own way. I remember he sat with a lady just behind me in the aircraft, I was so tired that I slept almost the whole time, whenever I woke up, I could hear them talk and talk... and talk :D. After we landed, I took my luggage, excited to see my two nieces and brother, who were waiting for me. While exiting the airport, I saw him again, trying to book a cab. Since we had one more room in our car, I offered him a lift, and he happily accepted. 

After that, it was normal facebook photo/status comments. I remember once, he commented on my photo “You look like J.lo” (Jennifer Lopez). I laughed. For girls, we get lots of good compliments in our photos, its hard to figure out who really means it and who don't  So its easy to take compliments for granted. Didn't think I’d make any impression on him :-0 And moreover, I knew he was someone way out of my league.

So long story short, last winter, when I went home, he came and visited me once. Well, for Mizo’s, its a tradition that guys can go over to a girl’s house. But I really didn't want to have my hopes up. Then this year Feb, we had a fest in IITG. He was back in Guwahati to continue his research, so he came. But I still could not see a chemistry between us. It was March when it all began. One morning, out of the blue, I received a text from him saying he saw me in his dream, and it was a really romantic dream too. I laughed. After that, things started to go smooth. The more I came to know about him, the more I started to like him. But I still had this inferiority thing going inside of me. Still thought that I didn't deserve someone like him. One night, when on the phone, we decided to take the next step. He said whatever is important, starts from NOW. It was then, that I realized God has answered my prayers and blessed me with more than I deserve. We are now so in love :-)

One great thing about this relationship is that, in my previous relationships, love song was all I’ll ever listen. But this time, its all about gospel songs. I am so grateful to God for what He has done in my life, that all I want to do is praise Him. I want people to know that even when you think God is not listening to your prayers, He has been listening all along, and He’s just waiting for the right time. My new bf, he is so different. He’s all that I ever want in a guy. Last night, we had our first prayer together. He prayed for us, over the phone, letting God know our desires and asked for His blessings, that we may one day set an example and be a testimony for God’s glory. We will have our differences, we will face obstacles, Satan will attack us, through temptations or maybe through past lives, who knows, but I’m not afraid, for I know we have Jesus on our side. 


First I thought its a little too early for such a post. But then I thought, what the heck! I don’t know when i’ll die and I don’t know what the future holds. I want this love story of ours, to be a living testimony, and I want you to pray for us, so that whatever comes our way, we can face it with God. We may or may not end up tying knots, but whatever may happen, let it be for God’s glory alone. Our God is good and He answers prayers. Don’t forget that. And for my unmarried friends, try writing down the points like I did and pray. I dare you, that your prayers will be answered. If you're single, let me tell you, you are lucky. Why? Because you have more advantage than the committed ones. You don't have to compromise with some qualities you want, that your bf/gf don't have :-)

Photo of my humble prayer points, that I have been praying for one year now. 
God is good!


And hey bf, you're the answer to my prayers. I'm glad you have all these qualities, and the rest of the good qualities you have, is a bonus from God :-). This thing that is happening to me now, is too good to be true. I have to pinch myself every once in a while to see if i'm dreaming. I love you.

Edited: April 4th, 11:11pm. This post has been written not to merely show off about my lovelife and my new bf, but is dedicated to God for His glory alone. In a world where Atheists are increasing, this is a testimony to prove that there is a living God, and his name is Jesus. You call it coincidence? We call it a Planned coincidence, maybe coincidence by man, but a Plan by God. Amen :)
