Melissa and Aaron
So that’s how we met
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.
Chris and Jana
It began at a wedding
After a dozen rounds of questions and answers over four months (all by email) there was one point when I took too-long to respond, and Jana gently hinted that she needed me to tell her where this was going, and if it was going anywhere.
Sue and Jon
He didn’t meet some of the criteria on my “list.”
Though Jon and I often say we wished we’d met each other earlier in life (he’s 36), in reality, God’s plans and timing are always the best. I couldn’t see then why it took so long for me to meet the man I would choose to spend the rest of my life with, but Jon is definitely worth the wait and years of character-building singlehood.
Joshua and Terri
I had to make that flight.
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.
Jess & Tien
I Owe My Marriage to Boundless
I started “coincidentally” running into a guy named Tien from my church — everywhere: at church, the post office, prayer meetings at other churches, on the soccer field, on campus (we both did international student ministry), at youth group outings. He was definitely on my “friend” radar.
Abigail Hinds & John Paul Taylor
Hi, I’m John Paul Taylor
“Hi, I’m John Paul Taylor. I don’t have a job. I don’t have any money. I am living with my parents right now and I am leaving for Montana in a few months. Can I court your daughter?”
Katrina & Mose Slabaugh
Perfect for a Former Amish Guy
“You would be perfect for a former Amish guy!” she exclaimed. I smiled and laughed, sure it was completely unlikely. I had never met an ex-Amish young man in my life!
Kelsie Powell & Joshua Steele
Her name was Kelsie…
I had known many godly young ladies in my time, but I must confess I had wondered to myself what kind of a girl would want to give up life in America and move to Ukraine. And yet, here was a girl who seemed quite prepared for such a change
Aimee Beery & Japeth Stauffer
God knew I was there.
I had never met this girl until 10 days ago and now I was calling to ask her father for permission to court his daughter. To top it off, the only picture I had seen of this guy was him all puckered up to play the harmonica!
Rachelle Rea and Devin Cobb
She created her own fictional hero; God brought him to life
On March 6, 2015, I met the man I’d marry on the doorstep of my pastor’s home on small group night. Much to my chagrin, I didn’t invite him in, shake his hand, or say a word.
Frances Alice Blogg & Gilbert Keith Chesterton
“If I remembered her she would never forget me.”
Here ends my previous existence. Take it: it led me to you.
Jamie and Randy Delaine
“I cannot decipher my thoughts.”
As the months went on, I began to understand more and more about how my (INTJ) brain worked. Thoughts were thought of and feelings followed. First, I had to logically determine my thoughts about Randy and wait until my subconscious felt safe enough for emotion to appear.
The End.
The End.
