Our story is one that we could never take credit for—it points directly to God’s kind and sovereign nature. We hope and pray that our journey together will be a witness to His goodness and perfect timing, and above all, bring Him glory.

Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

We first met at a BCM Welcome Week prayer walk. By God’s providence, we were placed in the same group and began talking. Neither of us made any “moves” at the time, as we had both just come out of long-term relationships. We weren’t quite ready to start dating—though Macy swears she was.

That all changed about a month and a half later at a BCM leadership conference, when the two of us began to flirt quite a bit. The day after the conference ended, I secured Macy’s phone number. We went on our first coffee date at Jittery Joe's the next day, and the rest was history! From the very beginning, our conversations were intentional—sharing our testimonies, values, and hopes. It quickly became clear that God was weaving together a story greater than we could have imagined, in a timing that was unmistakably His.

James 1:17 - "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

Over the past two years, God has continually reminded us that surrendering our plans and desires to Him is the best way to live. He often takes our expectations and turns them on their heads, which is a humbling experience. Though that can be uncomfortable, especially when we hold tightly to our own dreams and desires, we’ve seen time and again that His plans are always greater than ours. Because of that, we place our full trust in Him with our future.

Looking ahead, we know the Christian life isn’t promised to be easy or comfortable, but we are confident in the hope we have in Christ and the love that He has given us. We ask for your prayers as we start this journey together and strive to live sacrificially, bringing God the utmost glory and living with conviction and compassion for the hurting and lost around us.

Hebrews 12:1–3 – “And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
