Single
About Me:
My name is Tafadzwa Lillian Gotora and I am a 26 years old single lady. I have been a Spirit filled christian for the past 7 years. I come from Harare, a city in Zimbabwe which is in Africa and I am african by origin.



I experienced the love of God and received healing for the wounds of being raped at the age of four, molested and abused by female housesitters and being rejected because I was not born a boy and many other painful things.


In God have I found and continue to find wholeness. I know there are many broken women who need to hear my story and realize that there is hope……..and even for the orphans because I am also an orphan and have also experienced many losses, having lost 3 siblings and a nephew to date.



God’s love has proved to me that I have no reason to be ashamed of anything I have been through in my lifetime. God used all those life experiences as stepping stones that have made me, shaped me and moulded me to be the woman of God that I am today. Though I have wrestled with a past that has been fractured and wounded ,God forgives and forgets and is pleased to use any vessel just as long as it is cleaned by His blood

Age does matter, right?

Added a post Apr 2

I agree with Candice that its a matter of maturity and accountability...and would also like to add that usually if the younger guy has a solid relationship with God he is able to take the lead in the relationship.I also am quite interested in a guy who's 4 years younger than me but i am still just praying into the situation first..so good luck Reply »

So I AM BETROTHED

I saw this article somewhere on net and it was written by young christian lady..i really liked it

So I AM BETROTHED

I am a promised women. My fate secured from birth. My husband I do not know, have not seen, and I yet to even know his name. Yet my Father planned this all out, a union between to our two lives before time began. My betrothal signed when I surrendered my life to Christ, and closed with a Royal crest; Christ's blood as it's waxen seal.
My Love and I are perfect for one another in every way, my Father saw to that. And thought it's hard not knowing who he is, I take comfort in knowing that my Abba, my God, picked him out. I will know him in due time, just at the right age and point in life. Just at the time my Father set up for us to join together when He created us.
Though a betrothal seems hardly romantic, My Father has planned it out to be the romance of a life time. And though when I met my Love for the first time, I may not see him for who he is, love will blossom, and will be far more then what I could have imagined. Perfectly orchestrated by the creator of the universe... My Father, my Friend, my first, and forever perfect Love... my God.
And in that, knowing my God has beautifully designed every step of my romance, I will live my life simply as that- knowing I am betrothed. That my Father will bring my love to me in HIS timing. It may not be my timing, nor my loves timing, but it will be perfect timing. And when we meet, we will truly see the incredible plan that our Father has mapped out for us. And together, we will go forward, praising our Father's holy name. Better glorifying Christ together then we ever could apart.
This betrothal, my hope and future, I pray will be in the foremost of my mind, until the day I forever say "I do". I pray that with every young man I meet, and know, that instead of wondering "Could he be the one?", I simply say "I can't wait 'til my Father brings my love". Instead of always looking, keeping an eye out for my future husband, I pray that I will leave the time and place up to God, and keep my eyes on my Savior. For whats to happen if I'm looking around at other men when my Father finally points out the "one"? Would I miss him? Could I be so fixed on another, that my love walks right by me, and I never notice? God forbid! No, I'd much rather spend my time fixed on my Father. Using this time of single hood to get to know my Abba, my Daddy Father better. All every good Father wants is to spend time w/ his children. And God is no different. He wants my undivided attention. Not only so I can know Him better, and become more like Him. So when, that long awaited time comes, when my love finally arrives, I'll see him clear as day. All because my Father is pointing right at him.

, betrothed. What a beautiful word. I am my loves, and he is mine. Even now, before we know one another. But, first and foremost, I am my God's, and it is only because of Him that I can have such a bright and beautiful future.

JESUS - THE LOVER OF MY SOUL

I WAS BROKEN REJECTED AND IN A TERRIBLE LIFELESS STATE. THINGS SEEMED TO GET WORSE AND WORSE YET I TRIED SO HARD. THE SEARCH FOR ACCEPTANCE AND FOR WHO I REALLY WAS CONTINUED TO BE FRUITLESS, UNFULFILLING AND NEVERENDING... YOU SEE I TRIED TO DO ALL I COULD TO GET IT TO GET SOMETHING TO FILL THAT EMPTINESS IN MY HEART BUT I FOUND NO SOLACE- BUT I STILL RAN ON... I WANTED TO BE FREE I WANTED TO ESCAPE FROM THE CHAIN OF EMOTIONAL PAIN THAT WAS BOILING IN ME THE NEGATIVE WORDS AND THEIR RIDICULE AND TAUNTS WERE LIKE FIERY DARTS AIMING FOR MY WEAK AND BROKEN HEART. THE TORMENT WAS SO PAINFUL BUT I FOUND NO RELIEF IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS NO HOPE OF ESCAPING. THEN HE CAME SEARCHING FOR ME HE FINALLY FOUND ME STANDING ALONE, NAKED COLD BLEEDING AND HEAVILY YOKED. HIS EYES BEHELD ME AND IN ONE GLANCE FELL IN LOVE WITH ME. HE LOOKED PAST MY BROKEN STATE AND MY DIRTY STENCH FROM THE PAST AND SAW ME AS 'COMPLETE' WHOLE BEAUTIFUL AND PRECIOUS. WITH HIS EYES HE SAW THE FINISHED ARTICLE AND NOT THE ROUGH UNCUT DIAMOND I WAS. HE LIFTED UP MY HEAD AND LOOKED INTO MY EYES WITH COMPASSION AND WIPED THE TEARS FROM MY EYES. HE CLEANSED ME WITH HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD AND CLOTHED ME WITH A ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND A GARMENT OF PRAISE, AND WRAPPED AROUND MY BRUISED, BATTERED SHOULDERS THE CLOAK OF INTEGRITY. HE GAVE ME A NEW NAME AND IDENTITY. HE MADE ME A SOMEBODY - AN AFRICAN PRINCESS AND A WOMAN OF VIRTUE. HE PUT A BEAUTIFUL GOLD RING ON MY FINGER AND MADE ME HIS WIFE. HE ALSO ADORNED MY HEAD WITH A BEAUTIFUL CROWN AND MADE ME AN HEIRESS TO HIS UNSEARCHABLE RICHES AND FILLED THAT EMPTINESS THAT I HAD TRIED TO FILL ON MY OWN HE FILLED THAT EMPTINESS TO OVERFLOWING. HE LED ME TO DRINK THE LIVING WATER AND IN ONE INSTANT MY THIRST AND HUNGER WERE FULFILLED. LIKE A WEANED BABY IN ITS MOTHER'S ARMS FOR THE FIRST TIME MY SOUL FOUND REST SURPRISED TO BE LOVED AND AMAZED TO FIND ALL THAT I HAD SEARCHED FOR IN HIS ARMS. I HAD FINALLY FOUND THE ONE WHO MY SOUL LOVED - THE ONE WHO MY FLESH AND SOUL HAD CRIED OUT FOR. I WILL HOLD ON TO HIM FOREVER AND NEVER LET HIM GO.

Hi Taffy
That's a powerful testimony! Did you go to the Convent? we might have been at school together, I would have been about 6 years your senior...

Wow Tafadzwa, your life's story is so beautiful. It is women like you that make me love Jesus more. There truly is no one so broken that they cannot be mended by Jesus, and I love that about Him. Thank you for being so open; I truly have been encouraged.
Are you familiar with Beth Moore? She is a Bible teacher here in the States that has also been victorious over issues of abuse. I think you would love to hear her teachings. I will gladly send you some links if you are interested.

Welcome, Tafadzwa -- I'm so glad you're here and pray you'll be encouraged by this community of believers. Do you still make your home in Zimbabwe?
