Isaac and Annaleese were in the same fellowship in college. They made many great memories that are even more meaningful now. Isaac’s senior year he began to pray about Annaleese and though he sought to pursue a friendship in the fall of 2023, his parents decided it wasn’t the right time to do so.

Through the Spring and that next Summer God opened several opportunities for Isaac and Annaleese to work and serve alongside each other and foster a sweet friendship outside of school. Over the next few weeks Isaac asked Annaleese’s father if he could pursue her in a more Intentional way while she began praying for the Lord to direct her steps. She wanted to know if Isaac was “the one.”

In wonderful ways, God clearly showed Annaleese that Isaac was the one for her and accepted his request for courtship! Since she was traveling at this time in ministry, Isaac flew out to meet her in Fredericksburg , Virginia and they officially had their first date!
