In God I trust

Certainly I still have a long way to go ahead of me, just like any other young dreamer my age would say.
Nevertheless, by the divine hand of God, I am among the lucky

 few you could count fortunate.
 At 27, I have a degree in law, a Masters degree in divinity and starting work next month. I was almost forgetting, I will be marrying a ‘princess’ soon.
Now I am not trying to blow my trumpet, but  in great humility, I want to declare to you that all the wonderful things that have happened and are yet to happen to me have come from God.
For I know without doubt that all good and perfect gifts come from God the father of lights.
As a child the only consolation I had was dreaming of a better life one day. My ‘Muzei’ despite  the fact that he loved us and wanted the best for each of his 15 children, just could not do it.
What he earned was not enough to take care this big family including housewives. My biological mother who was a teacher passed on when I was only two years old.
Due to surrounding circumstances, I ended up staying with a cousin who was a secondary school teacher. There I got the chance to go to school and eat well.
It was under his care, at the age of seven, when I first saw a TV set. I remember smiling non-stop and wondering how human beings could fit in a small nice box. I guess that is why up to date, I love to watch TV. 
I gave my life to Christ in 1993 for the first time. Although it was a kind of off- and- on salvation, I always trusted and prayed to God.
My Bible study teachers had taught me that everything was possible with God. I started believing in miracles and felt my wishes could become reality.
 I remember the times I told God I wanted to be number two in my class. Not only did I become number 2 in my class but he also showed it to me in a dream.
To this day, I have seen God do great miracles in my life because of trusting in him and praying to him.
My education achievements, my friends, my fiancé and many other wonderful things that have come my way are miracles from God.
There are three things I esteem and long for in my Christian life : To be perfected in him, to know him well and to walk with him in a life of trust and obedience.
