Roobens always knew his special soulmate was somewhere waiting for him. He had spent countless hours in prayer asking God for this woman that his heart desired. He had a perfect picture in his mind but dared not utter a word and smile at his little fantasy once in while -“Does this person really exist?”, he often quietly thought.

Every Sunday Roobens goes to church to worship God. That Sunday started off as normal as the others with its routine of getting to church to experience God’s love through worship. He closed his eyes as he savored the harmony of the song and was in deep contemplation of God’s mercy.

Suddenly he opened his eyes and saw this wonderful creature sitting right in front of him. She is a part of the worship team. His heart started to race as he observed her every moves. “Could this be real?” Roobens quietly asked. Unbeknownst to him, his soul started to contemplate this beauty so natural and innocent. Roobens started paying a lot more attention to this woman named Mikelange without addressing her. He begun asking other people about her since she had been in the church longer and he was the newcomer. As he asked around, everyone told Roobens amazing things about her.

A few months later Roobens was asked to participate in the worship team and he gladly said yes -an opportunity to be closer to this woman who has caused him to dream about serious things of life -a family!

One Sunday, Roobens purposely went and sat next to her. One thing that he noticed was the sweet smell of her perfume. He loved the appealing scent of it. However, as soon as Roobens sat next to her she moved down one chair. Roobens smiled inside asking himself “Why did she move away from me?” He let it go.

At the end of the service, Roobens approached her and asked “you are Mikelange, right?” She said yes then walked away.

The following Sunday, Roobens went and sat right next to her again. She tried to move away again and he said “No please it’s fine.You can sit where you are.” She turned and smiled. Roobens noticed that she had the most beautiful smile!

That Sunday they sat next to each other, exchanged a couple of words and a few smiles. Roobens thought to himself, “Wow, she looks like an angel - So sweet and innocent. Is God really answering my prayers?”Roobens quietly whispered so that he was the only one to hear these words.

At the end of the service, Mikelange and Roobens spoke some more and exchanged phone numbers.

Roobens called her right after church to see if she got home safe. She was not available, so she returned the call later. As they were talking getting to know each other, they were laughing. Roobens loved every moment of it and at some point in the conversation, he said “Wow Mikelange! You are amazing!” She is so cool, he quietly whispers to himself.

The next Saturday we decided to meet and go to dinner. As we were having dinner, we were talking and laughing. It was so easy to converse. It seemed like we had known each other for years. Mikelange has never felt that way before-it felt good. We have been inseparable ever since. Talking on the phone for hours and hours we quickly fell in love with each other and here we are today ready to take it to the next step and vowing to spend the rest of our lives together. Ready to say yes to each other.

Mikelange always trusted that God would fulfill her heart’s desire. She has always stood firm on Psalm 37:4 “delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.” One Sunday morning, Mikelange went to church like always. She sat in the front row with the worship team as usual. As she’s sitting down, this man with his cousin Alissa came and sat right next to her to give them more space Mikelange moved one chair over. After church they exchanged a few words and she left. The next Sunday as the service was going on Mikelange noticed something. When it was time to pray, Roobens went on his knees. She said to herself, “Ok, I like that”. After church, he came to Mikelange again and kindly asked for her phone number. Mikelange took his phone and add her number. He called her right after church. Her phone was on silent. Mikelange returned the call and spoke for a while. She did not know what it was, but Mikelange was willing to find out. He called her again on his way to work that Sunday they talked some more. She liked the conversation, everything was so natural and easy. She loved every minutes of it.

Mikelange doesn’t normally talk on the phone, but with Roobens she was very surprised. They started to talk on the phone for hours every day. They prayed, they laughed and discussed most important matters of life, always going back to the amazing God that they both love and serve diligently and faithfully.

Before long, Mikelange knew that the man that she has been praying for was finally here.

Very quickly they fell in love with each other and today Mikelange is ready to say yes to this beautiful man of God.

Habakkuk 2;3 “though it tarries, wait for it because it will surely come, it will not tarry”.

We are happy you are celebrating with us! Yes our God has done it! All glory to Him alone!
