Reconciliation
If this isn't love, then what is? Fifteen years is no joke, the many years we've been friends and then some.
I remember that we were introduced by a mutual friend and then we were reading partners and then you became a friend I could rely on to tell me the truth come what may.
I remember ....
We were dating at the time. We had a meeting where we, along with another "couple" were to decide on the theme for the next meeting. We were the only two couples in the fellowship at the time. Somehow, we came up with the theme, reconciliation. This theme led us to do loads of research and even writings. It was a lot of work but we did well. Little did we know that this word we declared would test us....
Everything we supposedly learnt during this time, came back to check if they were mere words or if we truly believed. Fights came up, offenses rared it's head and each of us even had to go back to his/her tent to reset. We split from couples to individuals, we somehow had to learn how to be brothers in the Lord despite all the offenses. We had to learn to forgive....
After a lot of learnings and shaking, after a decade, here we are..... married. We see us become these same words we spoke long ago. We become the reconciliation of the earth. We show that this is possible no matter what. Everything that was scattered can always be gathered. Oneness is possible.
