| "Hope
deferred makes the heart ache, but a longing fulfilled is a tree
of life."
- Proverbs 13:12.
Who would have thought that nearly five years after Lumuli and Cyndee
met, they would be getting married? Two different people from two
different continents happen to meet at the perfect time.
Three and half years after they met in Kenya in the summer months
of 1999, and one and half years of a long-distance relationship,
they met again in England, where Lumuli was working as a missionary
for Careforce. It was hard to tell that they had ever been apart
during those three and half years…or that they had ever been
anything less than friends.
After meeting for three weeks in December and January of 2002-2003,
Cyndee scheduled another trip to England. Lumuli would be leaving his
missionary placement in August of 2003, so one more time together
was necessary before he traveled back to Kenya. Cyndee spent the
entire month of July with Lumuli. During that time, they announced
their engagement to the local church where Lumuli was serving. They
also purchased a beautiful yet simple ring at a local Antique Store.
Would this not be only what Jesus could do-cause such events to
coincide? What may be coincidences to men may in real sense be God's
incidences. Their love is Boundless because it is only God who creates
boundaries – and even those cannot separate whom God has placed
together.
