“We’re getting married!” “Share with us the Joy”

Our very first enconter was being paried for a prayer conferance held in our church in May of 2016 by our good friend and Best Friend Man Chris. We were both part of the worship community but we had never met, never spoke at that time. We worked together on setting up this project and worshiped for the first time at our church and it was a beautiful experience with God. We had such a connection through worship that we began to write worship music together immediately. We never imagined that, that was going to be a start of an incredible friendship. Spiritually we connected so in accord, after some time we fell in love and began to explore where this would go with asking God to guide us in every step. We invited our pastor and friends on this journey with us. They prayed for us and counceld us along the way. Mike Mozzatta our worship pastor at that time, our Pastor Ray and his wife my dear friend Julie Longwood were big instruments in keeping us accountible to letting God navigate our relationship in all the ups and downs. We have grown in many ways together, served our church and God together, laughed together, cried together but most of all seeked God together. We say that God wrote our love story because we know in definate that only God could have brought us together in this beautiful way. Somehow it pleased God to make His plan to make us a duo. I prayed for my prince many years to be sent to find me and God sent him in the best way possible, the language of what im ceated for... Worship... and now forever after I will worship with my bestfriend and we will create beautiful music together...A prayer made real like heaven on earth. One of many stories writen by Gods love for us.

The morning of October 18, 2018 Rob says to me he wanted to spend the day with me and pour into our relationship. Our lives are super busy with school, work, ect..I knew this was a day to take advantage of and so I canceled my plans for the day. He was being extra nice that morning so I did say to myself “hmm..He’s being so nice today” lol About two weeks before the proposal he was asking about our first date. We went to a nature walk trail that lead to a secluded beach. When he asked me of this place I thought it would be such a good idea to take him for his birthday. The day if his birthday was a rainy day and his family had plans for him so we didn’t get to stay long. We decided we would go back on a day we could spend more time enjoying the trail and the beach. So going back to thursday October 18, he suggested we should go because the day was pretty and we would have time to enjoy the trail. So we both agreed it was a good idea. In all of this I kept thinking to myself “wow this is a perfect day, he’s being so nice and accomidating to me” hmm..lol He took his guitar with him and his journal and asked me to bring mine aswell. This was all normal since there had been so many times we have taken these walks in many trails to write music or sing worship together. I thought we were having a music session. He took out his guitar and sang this beautiful song to me about how beautiful I was and all he thought about me. Then he read me a letter he wrote. This was also the same letter he wrote when he gave me a promise ring a year a go for Christmas 2017 promising to one day excange the promise ring with an engagment ring. When he got to a specific part of the letter where he explains what a promise is I knew then he was proposing! I almost fell off the cliff! “Kidding” I was so overwelmed with joy. We cried, we hugged and we spent the rest of that afternoon whorshipping on the cliff of the beach. It was a proposal to remember for the rest of our lives.
