Gospel artiste Evelyn Wanjiru and her husband Agunda Bweni have officially announced they are expecting their first child together, 10 years after getting married.
Taking to her Instagram page, the excited Evelyn thanked God for being faithful to His promise.
“Today my heart is full of Joy and gratitude. As I write this, my eyes are full of tears. I have been waiting for this season for 10 years in my marriage. A blessed womb, God has fulfilled. His promise in our lives.”
According to her she has been tirelessly to have a child, which the Lord has finally granted her.
“I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him” 1 Samuel 1:27. I pray for every couple almost giving up. Look at us and see what the Lord has done.
She went ahead to praise her husband for being a special man.
“Friends and family I tell you; There’s a distinct difference, anybody can be a father but it takes a special man to be a DAD. This man right here @agundabweni is a gift from God to me.”
She added:
“I don’t know who needs to hear this but I was hungry enough to wait for that promise to be manifested in my life. You don’t get what you pray for, you get what you’ve waited for, “because those who wait upon the Lord are like Mt zion they shall mount up with wings like eagles.”
She narrated the challenges they went through as they waited for the blessing:
“While we were waiting We kept on singing Praises to Him, we kept on encouraging others yet we were also asking God questions. ” where are you ? Until when, how many more doctors shall we see?” Then I would hear a voice saying ..Get encouraged. The measure of your Temptation is equal to the measure of your Blessings. So fight your battle delightfully for after every Test there is a Testimony and after every Victory there is a Prize.”

Agunda and I have come to realize that God has a track record of keeping His word.
This season, may even the angels testify of your breakthrough. Change of your status! Change of your name! Change of your circumstances! Change of your story!
Indeed God is faithful, He has made everything beautiful in His time. Ecclesiastes 3:11
A big Thank you for everyone who ever mentioned us in your prayers and held our hands. #Asante yesu.”
Through all the storms, the beautiful couple have been serving up couple goals – their marriage is one of love, patience and understanding.
Agunda is a music producer, Evelyn, on the other hand, is a musician, music director, a fashion designer and a mentor.
How the couple met
Opening up on how they met in a segment dubbed #LoveAtFirstSight which airs on a local TV station, Agunda says that he first fell in love with her voice:
“I had just been transferred to Nakuru for a job and so I decided to look for a church where I would be worshiping. I tried the first,second at it is at the third church that I found her leading praise and worship. I instantly loved her voice. When I looked at her I noticed she was lovable,so I said to myself that she would be my wife.I also decided not to approach her on the first day.
I took 8 months to do my research because ,I did not even know whether she was married or not. I did not want to waste her time nor get into a relationship I would end up breaking.”
Evelyn, on the other hand, says that for her it was love at first sight:
“I saw this young man coming in and I wondered who this cute man was.My heart was going very fast and I could not even sing.
Every time I was given a chance to sing I would sing ‘Yesu Nakupenda’ by Rose Muhando as a love dedication to him so that he could at least notice me.
I would get out of the alter and sing karibu na yeye.That was my way of telling this guy vile nlikua namfeel.
Nilikua nimechapa that’s why he is saying he first loved my voice before teaching his heart to love me.”
She adds:
“There is a time the pastor said ‘turn to your neighbour and tell them God loves them’ .Believe you me my husband did not even turn. I died a million times inside but he later asked me for a date and my world came to a stand still.”
Agunda goes on to add that Evelyn told him to wait for her for four years.
“I told her that I wanted to marry her on the first date but she told me she was not ready for marriage. She told me that I had to wait for four years and that is exactly what I did,by the time the four years elapsed we did not even notice. We were deeply in love.”
