God worked on both of our hearts

Tim and Emily
But things had changed when we started talking, and when she realized I wasn’t a missions major and was quite a kindred spirit, well, you could say something stirred in both of our hearts.
When you hear a love story it is the description of something that happened, not a prescription of how to make that very same thing happen in your own life.
