54% of Pulse Nigeria Poll voters are of the belief that waiting for God's time is always the best option in every situation.
It was testimony time as a reader, Ruth, a 48-year-old woman who had been facing serious challenges for 24 years of marriage without a fruit of the womb. Her husband and his family had called her many derogatory names but she kept the faith and just in the nick of time, God blessed her with a set of twin boys.
Read her letter here:
"My name is Ruth, a 48-year-old woman. I remember that I wrote in to Pulse in 2014 over my battle with childlessness after over 24 years of marriage and how my mother-in-law made life a living hell for me.
Life was not worth living for me and at times, I even contemplated suicide because everyone turned their backs on me, including my husband. His parents got him a woman from their village with the hopes that she would give them the grandchild they so desired and when the girl could not satisfy their desires, I was blamed for it.
I was called so many derogatory names including being a witch and that I had eaten all the children in my womb as well as those of the new wife.
I remember the pains I was in when I wrote in and asked fellow readers to help me with their prayers and advice as I was a total wreck. I also remember how readers reached out to me with consolatory words and how one man of God called and prayed for me, assuring me that my pains will soon be a thing of the past.
I can confidently say that God in His infinite mercies, used those readers to touch me at the point when everyone had abandoned me as I am now a proud mother of twin babies, both males. I gave birth two months ago and I should have written earlier than now but I then, I believe it is never too late.
I want to thank Pulse and its readers for standing by me, praying for me and helping me in the times I almost lost all hopes. I also want to use this medium to tell every woman out there who is going through what I went through to keep the faith and trust that God will always make a way.
God will continue to bless the works of your hands.
Ruth."
The teaser for the day was:
What would you do if your husband's family want you out due to childlessness?
