The list
As a result of making this “list” I also was convicted to become a woman that a man of this caliber would desire to marry. That was a bit more challenging than making the list.
Jonne & David
Real attraction is necessary and normal
David isn’t at all apologetic about what first attracted him to the dark-haired Dutch nurse: her beauty.
Melanie Maher & Nathan Maxwell
praying about a house
When Nathan began praying about buying the house across the street from us last fall, the Lord started impressing on his heart that it was time to marry. This was not exactly what Nathan thought was going to be a result of his praying about a house purchase!
Carolyn & C.J. Mahaney
more about this girl
He couldn’t understand why I was being rude and unkind about simply fixing him a hot dog. He was curious. Intrigued. He wanted to find out more about this girl.
Summer Brown & Luke Long
not based on performance
Over time I would realize that I thought I deserved to be blessed because I had tried to honor my parents and keep the principles of God’s word. God wanted to bless me but He wanted me to understand that His blessing was not based off my performance and good deeds.
Ashley Bastic & Jordan Liggitt
Confusion
My goal was to ask her if she was interested in courting. She came to the evening thinking we already were courting. Confusion ensued!
Kristen Lisemby & Grant Lee
Let’s wait and see
I waited and waited and finally sent her a Facebook message asking her out for dinner. I got a lame response from her, when she said “Let’s just wait and see, okay?” This time I thought “whatever” and went on with life.
Rebecca & Jacob Hickman
I put God in a box
By the time I graduated high school I was very disillusioned with the whole concept. I had put God in a box and decided that since we didn’t have the ideal conditions and environment for a “perfect courtship” it wasn’t going to happen for me. I wasn’t going to have the cookie-cutter courtship like you read about in the homeschooling magazines.
Heidi Crank & Greg Greenlaw
Going in the same direction
Both the Greenlaws and us were thinking – Greg and Heidi – they sound so much alike and both desiring to reach tribal people. And to everyone’s amazement, Greg was still unmarried but really needing a wife, one that would be as committed as he was to this work. And a major concern of ours was Heidi finding a husband who was truly going the same direction in which God was leading her, with whom she could go to the mission field.
Suzanne Hadley & Kevin Gosselin
The handsome VBS leader
I was stunned. I had never met a man who was pursuing children’s ministry — and this one was handsome (and apparently single) to boot. He grinned when I said: ‘I could do VBS every day for the rest of my life!’
Megan Miller & Justin Goff
I prayed
I specifically remember even praying for my future husband’s salvation, because, hey, ya never know. Little did I know how God was moving in the heart of my future husband. He accepted Christ that same year!
Patience Laws & Ray Gifford
Single for forty-eight years
She has been single for forty-eight years. She must not want to be married.
The End.
The End.
