When I first started this blog, I sent the link to several friends and family members so they could follow me throughout my trip to South Africa. One of the friends that received the link was a new acquaintance and secret admirer.
A couple weeks before I flew to South Africa, a random guy from church sent me a text. I didn't know it at the time, but that text would be the start of a lifetime relationship.
I spent 2 years at that church without ever saying much to him besides hello and goodbye. When we finally had a full conversation, we realized it was a little late. I sent him the link and told him he could stay updated with what I was doing and we would email, but I didn't think much would happen.
Now here I am wearing a ring that represents my decision to unite my life with his.
Some say it's too soon, and even for us it feels short, but the journey was actually quite long. The more I get to know him, the more I see how God has shaped our lives and led us to become who we are today. When he decided to propose, my dad told him God had formed me for him from the very beginning. Five years before I was born, my future husband was born. After all the twists and turns of life, it was finally time for us to meet and then finally time for us to talk and then finally time for us to date.
Still, this is only the beginning......and I can't wait for the rest of our life to unfold. God is good.
