Kristen Barnhill & Jeff Glover
there was nothing to say but yes
In less than two weeks of talking and praying, we knew the answer. It was reckless. Crazy. My parents had not even met him, had hardly even heard of him, but I was not a reckless person, by nature. I was not the kind of kid who did things like this, unless I was convinced it was of God.
Natasha Siegrist & Amos Metzler
A Dream Dance
After our second date, my dad pulled me aside for a chat. ‘What do you think?’ he asked. ‘Want me to tell him it’s not going to work?’

something was missing
Several months into our relationship, I realized that while this guy encompassed all my dreams for my life—something was missing.

only as a brother in Christ
So I said ‘yes’ to a ‘season of exploration’ — to a courtship. As the months passed, my choice to love selflessly bore fruit and I began to find great joy in our relationship. Then, suddenly, the Lord made it just as clear that He was calling me out of the relationship, to relinquish my desire for marital love, and to only love this man as a brother in Christ.
Rachel Wissmann & Alan Busenitz
how does a man get to know a traveling musician?
As I read the blog and watched some concert clips I began to sense a surrendered spirit about her that was very attractive to me. At that point I was convinced. But how does a man get to know a traveling musician? It’s not easy.
Jessica & Bill Brink
“You’re in the Army Now!”
Bill carried a piece of paper with him to write at any ‘stolen’ moment and every conceivable location…rifle range, awaiting troop formations and inspections, even foxholes!
Tracy & Anthony Friesen
loving a man with cancer
We ended up messaging back and forth for the next month, talking about all of the deeply personal, serious things that had so shaped our attitudes and lives, things like his cancer experience and my experience with Dan, and matters of healing and faith, and my arthritis, and depression and purpose…
Claudia & Harris Adams
Great Is His Faithfulness
Through the years whenever storms would rage around us and it sometimes felt as if we would literally drown I would recall how my husband laid his life down for me from the first weeks of our life together.
Jeannie & Evan
We didn’t see stars…
We only talked for a couple of minutes, and nothing happened. We didn’t see stars, or lose our breath, or anything. Actually, we just went back home and continued to live our lives.
Trina Bauman & Jeremy Holden
The Pastor’s Son
From what we knew about this fellowship and the pastor’s family already, I figured the pastor’s son scored pretty highly on the ‘eligible scale’. But, alas, upon scanning the stage, I realized he would never do.
Gretchen & Merritt
waiting on the Lord
"In that next year of waiting on the Lord, I came to appreciate so many things about Merritt—but especially his practical wisdom and his patient trust in God."
The End.
The End.
