My love story (part 2):

I continued praying, and he went opening his heart, understanding the Word of God and I too began to grow spiritually.

I began to evangelize, even though he didn’t accompany me, I was baptized with the Holy Spirit and then raised as an assistant.

Now I had to dedicate myself to my calling. But, how? Should I stay in the church all day on Sunday or separate my afternoons to go out with him?

This was never a doubt for me, I never put Joaquim before the work of God, I never missed a meeting for him or set aside my obligations as an assistant to spend time with him. After all he was my boyfriend, not my husband and I wanted to see him as an assistant too.

I would spend the entire day in the church and he would tell me that he’d wait for me and rest, but he couldn’t because the Holy Spirit began to demand more from him and he always ended up going out with the group to evangelize.

His walk in the faith began to grow, after a few months Joaquim was baptized with the Holy Spirit, now my miracle was complete.

He later was raised as an assistant and God began to use him in extraordinary ways.

We were assistants together, we got married on July 8^th 1995 and three months later we were called to serve God on the altar. We have been married for 15 years and we have served God for 15 years on the altar.

All the sacrifices, and decisions that I took during those times have finally been honored,

because God is faithful, just and true, he always honors us when place him where he should be: first place.

Note: I will publish a series of articles about the love life, they will be real testimonies, and it will be called “When God chooses your other half” Each one will have a piece of advice to help you.

First advice: Never put your love life or your boyfriend before God, don’t forget that without God nothing can be blessed. Don’t accept a “good” person; want a person of God by your side.
