I remember when my fiance told me she was expecting a child. I was just twenty five. It was hard for me to accept the good news. She made it sound like she had cheated on me and here I was planning for our wedding, and trying to find a proper place for us to settle after our wedding.

There was a lot on my mind, I still wasn’t stable financially to care for her and the baby. I come from very a poor family, despite the fact that I was told one of my great grandfather was so wealthy, they called him ‘The King.’

I told my mom about the good news and how devastated I was about thinking that it was not my child. She told me that sometimes God would work in a way to make things look tough, while at the end they would actually be easy and for our good. She told me to hang in and ask God to give me courage and wisdom, and we prayed together that day.
