So it’s been Nine months since I
last wrote! It’s about time that I start writing again! I will start from where
I left off…
December 2011 God is amazing in many
ways! The last Ten months have been an amazing adventure! He definitely has shown me where He wants me
and with whom He wants me with! It’s so very clear to me and it’s a very lovely
thing! I have been on a few dating sites here and there and one of them was
Christian Dating For Free, and on the night of December 12th I was
about to delete my profile and give it to God and not look anymore for the “ONE
person” I wanted, but right before I did, something told me to check my
messages so I did and this guy messaged me, (he says that I messaged him, so
who knows) so I looked at his profile and liked what I saw and thus begins the
staying up late, talking, texting, and praying this would last! We started
talking and learning about each other, and when I realized that he was from Florida
I freaked out oh my word, Florida, like as in 6 states away?? WHAT?? I’m
falling for a guy in Florida, what am I going to do, so I decided to just pray
about it and if it works it works and if not then it’s not what God wanted! Needless
to say God was molding and planning on our behalf! We decided to get to know
each other more and see where this crazy God thing was headed!!
I have to admit that I was kind of uncertain
at first, Florida is a ways a way and it’s a dating site lol, but I wanted to
feel this out and had been praying about it and God reassured me that it would
be fine if it was meant to be! I remember the countless nights I would pray ”if it’s your will Lord” and He would
guide me and comfort me greatly! As the days and weeks went on we began to
write letters, text, call, Skype, almost every day and I could feel and see how
much this person was beginning to mean to me! And all I could think about is
that God is working in this heart of mine and I’m thankful for that! In mid
January on a very bitter cold evening, he was on his way to class and I was
just getting off work and I had this crazy feeling that I HAD to talk to him,
but he was in class, so I couldn’t L
but I told him anyways that “I Loved Him”!
Love for a spouse is so different than I have ever experienced! It’s Lovely! He went crazy with goose bumps
and chills, knowing that I was also the one for him! I knew right then that this would be the
person that I’d forever love and always! That is when we became official!
As a result of this new found
relationship we were finding ourselves tossing around the idea of visiting one
another, and as badly as I wanted to visit him in Florida, first I knew that if
he really was in to me that he would willingly be coming to Ohio first and that
he did! In May 2012 he came to visit! I wasn’t really nervous and neither was
he, more or less anxious to see each other for the first time! Jeff stayed for
five days; we hung out, had a “REAL” date lol met my parents and sister and
went to all my favorite hot spots! We had a blast and everyone loved each other!
I was very thankful that everything went very well and they all got along! Oh and he gave me his grandmothers wedding
ring too!! J The
worst part is that the inevitable was about to come, and it was that he would
return to Florida and without me. I dreaded that day so much, “we have enjoyed ourselves and have had a
wonderful time, and it’s all over when you leave”. I was reassured by God and Jeff that we would
visit again and we did Three weeks later when I got to go to Florida! I was
thrilled and so very excited and kept thinking that “this is God or it wouldn’t work out this way right”?!
In those Three weeks we learned
that he would have an offer to sell his house and actually sell his house! We
prayed and prayed! I told him that I would bring him back to Ohio with me and that’s
just what I did! He moved up to Ohio in June and got a place and job! This is all God! He’s so good! All the
timing and the planning was exactly what He wanted! There were many times one
of us would lose Faith, but would be assured that this was for Gods glory and
plan! J I
got a good look at what God wants for my life, I’m so glad that I let Him build
and guide my life! “We are called to do
what God wants and not those of the world” The story of Christ is the story
of being restored, through God we are being restored to new! This relationship is hard, but we chose to
obey, believe, Trust and have Faith in God that He had a grand plan!
Jeff currently has a job and a
house, and together we are planning our
wedding for May 2013 and with God’s
help we are learning to love and respect each other as God does us! It’s a wonderful
thing God has given us! Oh how we have prayed for a long time for each other
and this relationship based on God and His love!
