From the very start it was evident that this relationship was a kind and gracious gift from God. Though timing wise, the arrival of this gift was a bit unexpected for the both of us, the Lord has always been a Man with a plan. He knew exactly what He was doing, as He always does.

That plan happened to include for us one of those when you know, you know kind of love stories. As we walked with Him and pursued one another, He was faithful to lavish on us His peace, clarity, and wisdom. And that's how we knew! For He is a God of peace and clarity and grace, not confusion or withholding of good gifts. So we trusted. And here He has led us :)

In response to the great loving kindness the Lord has shown us by giving us first the gift of His sufficient righteousness then also the gift of one another, we imperfectly yet persistently give it all back to Him. This beautiful union that He has uniquely designed us for and intentionally planned since before time began, we confidently believe has the heavenly purpose of showing others just how beautiful Christ is. Our lives began when we each came to know Christ, and we now get the privilege of joining together in the process and with the purpose of becoming more like Christ, all that He may be glorified all the more :))
