there was nothing to say but yes

Kristen Barnhill & Jeff Glover

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.

"I believe love stories touch a place in our souls because they mirror — however imperfectly — the beautiful, redemptive love story that is the Gospel. The story of a Lover Who would risk everything to win His beloved, even His life. The broken bride who was unable to return His love but was healed and restored, fully remade by that sacred Lover. Real-life love stories offer little glimpses of the amazing, magnificent romance that will culminate at the end of time. They are a gift from God that can encourage our hearts as we put our trust in Christ to find our place in the eternal love story."
