Someone once said that if you want to meet the love of your life, seek God first. You must run after the Lord with your whole heart and then in the midst of that journey to Calvary, look to your left and right and see who is next to you. Angie and I met each other in the pursuit of the greater. And every day with her has been just that; Greater.

I had just left seminary after a good discernment. I was starting a new life at Benedictine University. In an effort to percieve where God was calling me to serve Him in this new world, I was going to adoration more frequently. The chapel at school was the size of a small janitor's closet. It was nice and quiet. After a while, i left feeling more confused with my path in life than ever. As I walked through the door, my eyes caught the glimpse of a girl I hadnt met before. She was sitting at the tutoring desk in black jeans and her green button-up. Her hair was let down and cut short. She looked up at me and it was then that I saw for the first time the source of my life's pursuit. Her smile ravaged my heart and I knew that I would do anything to see that smile every day of my life. The next day, I introduced myself and not only did she smile but she had this twinkle in her eye that shone the light of her joyous soul. It wasn't long after that we became best friends and I won her heart.

While our journey has just begun, already my life has been more filled with peace and love than I could have ever imagined or dreamed of. To have and to hold, what a wondrous thought. Please pray for us as we enter a continual pursuit to heaven together to one day be united in the arms of the Father: Angie and myself, and all of those we can share our love with.
