Two days before author, public speaker and relationship consultant Amara
Blessing Nwosu married US based Francis Van-Lare, the mother of four
took to her Facebook page to explain why she chose him six years after
leaving an arranged marriage that had a history of domestic abuse.
Please read what she wrote below, you might learn a thing or two...
"We sometimes wish certain gifts came our way earlier. Sometimes I wish
we had met each other some twenty years ago when I was sent into that
hell on earth. But on a second thought, I know it wouldn't be as
beautiful as it is now. God often take us through the bad to make us
appreciate the good when it comes. Even my living for six years as a
single mom of four, I met the good, the bad, and the ugly; some came
with too much money believing that is what I needed; others came with
their "fine boy' thinking Amara is after those things (I am not one of
those women who thrive in vanity).
I remember praying to God not to
allow me make another bad choice and suddenly, God brought you my way.
Initially, I saw you as one of "those men", it took me several months to
fight with my spirit that was leading me to you. I told you straight to
your face that I didn't like you. But you simply, without struggle,
told me that I am your wife and I can go wherever I like, but I must
come back to be your wife. God showed me that He is with you and when I
saw your heart, a heart that genuinely loves God, I was attracted to
you. I was excited to know that there is this man who won't take me away
from God. I was excited to see a man who is interested in seeing the
best of me. I was happy to see a man who speaks the truth in love. You
daily give me your best thereby drawing out the best in me. All my life,
no man has drawn my heart out the way you do. You make me glow like a
child. God used you to restore my glory and my joy. My mum recently
looked at me and all she could say was, "this is my daughter, Amara;
this is that girl I knew".
Words cannot express how much I love you
and that's why sometimes, you just see me staring at you without a
word. I never knew it could be this way, I have a reason to glorify the
name of Jesus Christ and love Him more without reservation; I don't know
why she loves me specially.
From my heart of hearts, I say this:
You are my superhero; you are the warrior who fought and made it through
my heart. Others failed my little and simple tests; you showed me that
you are a man who is in control and will forever be in control. Many
came acting 'good boy' around me, they thought that is what Amara
wanted, they believed I was carried away by their pretenses, I wasn't; I
was only being a proper Anambra woman, raised in the village, with her
head together. When we finally met, I knew you are the one and without
thinking whose ox was gored, I took a step into destiny. Thank God for
His Holy Spirit, He enables me to see what others don't see. Many came
to me calling themselves prophets and prophetesses trying to talk me out
of. God's divine plan; they goofed because I was raised with the word
of God in my hands. I know God's voice when I hear one.
I daily
pray, asking God to make you the man you should be, to yourself, our
home, and the world. You are a great man and great shall you ever be. I
know what I see when I look at you. God will keep you for me and give me
the grace to be the woman I should be to you, never to hurt you in any
way. If I should ever think of causing you pain, let God take me away
before I do.
I love you Francis Van-Lare you are the king of my heart. Jesus remains Lord over our home.
