    Have you ever held onto a promise so deeply that it shaped your path through life’s uncertainties? In this episode, I share my personal journey of trusting God’s timing—especially when it came to love and prayer. As a teenager, I held onto a promise that my future wife would come into my life before I turned 20. Through moments of doubt and impatience, that promise became a steady light, guiding me to an unforgettable encounter at a ballet charity event where everything seemed to fall into place. It wasn’t just a meeting—it was a moment of recognition that reaffirmed the power of faith and patience in life’s waiting periods.

    Join me as I reflect on the challenges, breakthroughs, and moments of trust that defined my relationship with Sarah Jane. From quietly believing she was the one, to navigating the ups and downs of life and love after her breakup, I explore how faith and divine timing brought us together. Through heartfelt memories of pivotal moments—by the riverbed, at the beach, and beyond—I recount how our friendship turned into something more. This story is a testament to the beauty of holding onto God’s promises and finding love in the most unexpected ways.
