Dear God,
Happy New Year!!! Whoa! I still can’t get over all the miraculous feats you have performed since the last time we spoke on this page. I made it into 2011, a brand new century and I am so grateful! I almost didn’t make it, if not for your mercy.
I have heart issues again, but I cannot go into that until I tell you that I have seen your hand in Nigeria. I can see how that scripture that says you take a man from the dung hill and set him in a large place, can play out.
I can see how you are able to suspend natural and national laws to bring about your will… and I watch in great admiration and awe what you are set to do next.
I have also formally come today to declare to the entire world those things I have said to you in secret. Please God, can I have Tara’s hand in marriage? Phew!!! I thought this will never be spoken out for another to hear, but I cannot hold it anymore. I want to marry this girl, I love her and I know that you have called us together to do exploits for your kingdom.
You told me the last time that Tara is an asset to your kingdom and you asked if the kind of destiny she carries belongs with me. I have taken time to think it all through and I can categorically say ‘Yes! Tara’s destiny belongs with me.’ This is because I have known Tara from the first day she came to church after that evangelical programme with ladies on the streets.
I have watched her grow and mature in ways only you could have allowed. I have watched Tara go back to those streets again and again to bring others to you. And each time she speaks about them, I can see the fire that lights in her bones, through her eyes.
In all these I have grown only in respect and fondness for her. Tara is not refined from the school of ethics and etiquette, but she has been refined in the furnace of affliction like you rightly pointed out. But she is the real deal Lord, I know.
I will be there to love her, I will be there to support her, I vow to put our resourcesout to further the course of her passion, I know Lord first and foremost that she belongs to you. So please will you loan her to me, so my life can be as sweet as you had ordained?
I do not claim that I know all that will happen if you let me marry her, but I can tell you that I will be true to her, and I will never call unclean that which you have made clean.
In short, Lord Tara is the woman that will bring me to the place of my dreams, and I want to travel this road with her.
I eagerly await your response. Thank you, God for bringing Tara my way.
Your son
TIM
