Struggles are real by Amanda

As a beauty queen and a christian , i would have thought life was a bed of roses , because we were often taught in church to take authority in God's word which i and David found so much strength in.

David and i got married when i was 24 and he 27. I was the happiest bride on earth ,David made sure my happiness , needs and desires came first above every of his plan. We loved each other so much.
We were good friends in high school and started dating when we entered college. He rocked my world,we were even Queen and King of prom,we were and still are amazing.
David had an outstanding career, we both succeeded in everything we did.
But after a wonderful 10 years together,David and i still had an issue that bothered us and we always prayed about it; we had no child. Some nights we had heated arguments and some nights slept without talking to each other.
For 17 years we went from one fertility clinic to another , going to see all the best consultants from India to Australia,yet we were always told nothing was wrong with us. I went to God so many times in prayers because with all the issues and fights i and David were having, getting a divorce felt like a good option before we killed each other. We considered having a surrogate option but David disagreed.
At this stage he was tired of our childlessness,wasn't considering any alternatives.
i was tired and waiting for the 4th of April, so we could head to the lawyer to sign our divorce papers.
A priest called my line and asked that i come pray with him before heading to the barrister, which was just 5 minutes walk from the barristers office.
We got to the barrister's place and I told David that I wanted to meet the Priest quickly, Was about crossing the road when a car from nowhere lost control of its brake and knocked me down.
(The next part of the story was told by David)
When i heard the tyre screech, i almost jumped out of my skin ,until i looked out of the window to something that looked nothing like a car, and the lady hanging half out of the car wind shield, my wife Amanda. As I was running towards the accident scene, the thoughts going through my mind was times i failed to pray with her regarding our issues, the times we went one month without speaking to each other , the times i didnt make it to the counsellors office in the bid to make our relationship work, i thought to myself, if my friend Amanda dies, what would become of me. I quickly got to her and with the help of people that came around, we got her into my car and she was rushed to the hospital and was immediately taken to the E. R. I waited outside the room, anticipating the words from the doctor. The doctor came out and bluntly told me that she wouldn't make it through to the morning of the next day. With my hands on my head and with deep sadness, I sat on the floor, at that point the only thing on my mind was "God give me amanda back, we will adopt a child, pls don't take my wife away". At that point i remembered how much my wife meant to me, and how much we have focused on our problems instead of the good things in our lives. I went out of the hospital to call my wife's parents, while making the call, I saw a church just nearby, I ended the call while her parents were still talking and ran towards the church, I got in and couldn't remember any word of prayer because i was now very rich so I made no time for God. I just sat down and groaned, sobbing all night, I fell asleep around 2am,and when my eyes got opened,it was 5am. I went to the hospital and was told that Amanda had slipped into coma.
My routine from then was from church to work then to the hospital then back to church because at that stage, i realized everything i had achieved in my career was thanks to Amanda.
My wife was in Coma for 6 months and i was there almost all day and night.
In October, Amanda woke up, she didn't know who i was. I was happy cause she was awake, yet sad cause she couldn't even recognise my face, I told her I was her husband and brought out my phone and showed her all the pictures we snapped all through our lives, She didn't still remember anything. I called her Parents and she could surprisingly remember them, it was like the whole part of our lives was completely wiped out from her memory.
Amanda was discharged from the hospital and she went to her parent's home, then my routine changed to from work to her parents house then church,this happened for a year.
My father-in-law law called me one day to come over quickly,I got to the house and met he and amanda, she asked to speak with me alone,she then said, David, my parents told me you and i got married , even though i don't remember it , i know my age and i don't see any child, showing we didn't have any, from my doctor's report, the accident caused me my womb, and i can't give birth , i don't also think i have feelings for you, i would love if we can go to a lawyer to get a divorce. A tear dropped down my cheek, then i told her, "let's start with going to church again, let's date again, let's try counselling again , pls i don't want you out of my life" , she smiled and said "i will pray with you, don't know about the rest".
The next weekend, we attended a prayer camp which lasted for 3 days, and after that, we went for another the next month. We soon started kissing like teens and on one date had sex. I would say this is the Lords doing because the next time i spoke with Amanda she was pregnant ,imagine, without a womb, well I guess this miracle is what God had always planned for us ,he had planned what would seem unbelievable as a testimony.
Amanda stayed in her father's house until she went into labour , when i got the call that morning to come to the hospital, i rushed there immediately, waiting outside the labour room, praying and speaking in tongues,the labour lasted a while. The Doctor came out to give me the good news that I was now a father of triplets. U can imagine the way I shouted for Joy at the hospital.
The day my wife and kids were discharged from the hospital, she asked to come back to our matrimonial home and there we have been for 8 years now with our children.
I say this prayer to all those that have read this ;your own battles shall be testimonies in Jesus name.
