Getting a little homesick one day, I attempted to make chocolate chip cookies in my “easy bake.” Since there were only two other girls in my apartment, and I’d made an overabundance, I decided to share my cookies.
Now, some people say there is no such thing as love at first sight. But I definitely liked her at first sight! I was completely taken by Kori and her gorgeous smile! That evening was when it all started for me. I began praying that if it was God’s plan, He would direct our lives together.
We’d never even talked on the phone before—just written back and forth on Facebook for the past four months, but it was as comfortable as could be from the get-go. He was sitting at a table when I walked in—not holding a rose like in romance novels—but reading a book in true Trevor-fashion.
As I followed him out onto the porch, having no clue what he wanted, I said, “So I never did ask – what brought you to the area?”
He shut the door behind us, looked me in the eyes, and said, “You did.”
I had a secret fear, however, that the guy God had for me would be really bad looking. I figured the Lord would help me love him anyway.
This has been a sweet time for both of us. I think we can both say with confidence that God was good to us in our singleness, and He has been good in giving us each other. He knows how to give good gifts, and we can only look back and trust His timing.
When I have a particularly long workday, I think back to the 20-hour day that was (thus far) the best of my life. And I think, You know what? I got through that fairly well; surely I can make it to 5:30 today.
At 29, Ellie realized that if she were going to get married, God would have to bring someone to her. When Don offered to fix her radio, she thought, “Lord, this is the kind of man I would like to have as a husband.”
Over coffee, Lawrance talked nearly nonstop, trying to convince Amanda that he wouldn’t work for her. His honesty and openness had the opposite effect: She was hooked!
Dan didn’t go to India to find a wife. He went to serve at a small Christian hostel that housed children going to school away from home.
Because I love irony, I think it’s great Nat and I have the same birthday ~ February 1st. So yes, that makes Nat exactly 5 years older than me and I like to think we’re going to be very efficient in our birthday celebrations since they’re on the same day and all.
For several years now I have really pondered what I would need in a wife. Being a missionary pastor I had several things I was looking for in a wife that I never seemed to be able to find in just one woman. I was actually beginning to wonder if someone like I desired actually existed.
The End.
The End.
