The Proposal

Snow in TX!

It was the day of our one year relationship anniversary. We had finished family devotions and were getting ready to head to work, when Ang asked if he could give me a gift out at the swing. We bundled up and walked outside. Ang told me to close my eyes and he would lead me. I honestly didn’t suspect a thing and closed my eyes, commenting that I couldn’t believe we were walking through 8 inches of snow!😂 He faced me toward himself and told me to open my eyes. I opened and didn’t see a gift on the bench or in the snow, but I saw people by the lake with their phones, and before I knew it, Ang knelt in the snow, pulled out a ring box and said, “Sophia, I love you so much—” but before he could finish, I fell down in the snow and hugged him and cried! I COULDN'T BELIEVE HE WAS ASKING ME!!😭 In that moment, I felt so humbled and loved by God. After the previous night (and week!) of so many tears and being totally surrendered to any expectation of when we would get engaged, I could not believe that this was happening. I just felt Christ’s love and forgiveness for me being given through this imperfect and wonderful man.😢🙌🏼🙏🏼 Ang didn’t even get a chance to ask me to marry him before I interrupted him with my hug, and after several minutes of crying and hugging him I realized that and apologized and told him, “I’m so sorry, I’ll let you finish!” He said again, “Sophia, I love you so much. Will you marry me?” My first thought was, “I need to ask God!” (even though I already had before then). So I asked Him right then and He told me yes, and I hugged Ang again, not realizing that I hadn’t actually said ‘yes’!🙈 Then I lovingly whacked his arms several times saying, ‘yes yes yes!’! Then we stood up (because we were both kneeling😂🙈) and my sister and friends came over and congratulated us and went back to the house (poor things, it was 9 degrees!). Ang and I stayed at the swing, and sang and prayed (and threw the ball for Ellie☺️). We praise God for all He has done!!
