Many are the plans in a person's heart but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
Proverbs 19:21We believe God writes the most beautiful stories, and rarely in the way we would have written them ourselves.
In 2023, on an ordinary day at work, I reversed into someone else's car. I had always thought of myself as a careful driver, so I was shaken. Then a calm, kind stranger stepped in, settled everything, and told me to go home and not worry about it. He wanted nothing in return. That was simply who he was. That was Ade.
Months later, Ade told our friend Tife he was praying for a good woman to settle down with. Tife thought of me. The message that arrived on Instagram soon after came from a man with no idea he was writing to the woman whose car he had once helped put right.
A simple introduction became a friendship, then a deep and intentional love, then a lifelong commitment. What felt like an inconvenience had been direction all along. Today we celebrate His faithfulness, and the journey ahead as husband and wife.
Ade & Mercy
