The abbreviated story: Two incredible friends invited us out to dinner. Can't say it was a blind date, however, something along that line, somewhere in the middle. No expectations, no requirements, just dinner and conversation. From that moment on, God began to write our love story. Our conversations grew everyday as we shared our life stories with one another. We never missed a day...! Unbeknownst to each other we were praying for the right person, a spouse, at the same time. We both learned what we needed was in each other. Finally our prayers were answered. He prayed... She prayed and waited... He persued and put a ring on it! She said yes!!! We had nothing to do with it but God had everything to do with it. We made nothing happen. God orchestrated our path. "He" put in place a few very important people who saw greatness (purpose) in us together. To God be the glory! We never knew love like this before until we met each other. Joy is when we are in each other's company... when we hear each other's voices ... when we laugh and pray together, etc. "We like each other alot!" Our strength is friendship, daily devotion, prayer and honesty, and God's agape love. A solid foundation.
