Shenumdrum

Shenumdrum: (shenanigans + conundrum) A situation one finds themselves in abruptly, and with unexpected beginnings of a favorable nature. Usually garners unpredictable results.

For twenty-five years, they’d lived unaware of one another’s existence on the earth. Then suddenly, one bright May morning, the Lord led them, softly but surely, onto one pure path, carved from time’s far-reaching forest by the great Carpenter Himself. After a single conversation, myriad messages sent back and forth, and countless, curious prayers, the only word they could find to describe the dawn of this new sweet spring of love was shenumdrum.
