So, around August of 2020 I (Jo) began praying that God would reveal to me my Husband if He has one for me. I say it like that because I had already endured too much heartache from men. I only wanted my next, if there was a next, man to be my Husband. I didn’t want to date someone, as I had learned up to that point that dating is manmade not really of God. So, if there was a husband for me that he would meet all mine and God's requirements as a Godly Husband, I only wanted the man that He has chosen for me. Gods’ response to me was fall in love with me and make me your everything and when I see your ready, I will present him to you, so around March of 2021 I kept receiving a Facebook suggestion friend request of Tavin. Except it was listed as Kevin Johnson. Those who know me know that I usually, most of the time, do not friend request or accept friend request of unknown people…..But this guy (Tavin-Kevin Johnson) kept popping up on my page and I kept deleting it….at one point it became annoying but then one day I heard a still small voice say look at his page so I “Facebook stalked” him. He seemed like a Godly man from his posts but It still felt weird so I began praying about it…..about him. Like clockwork the suggestion for his friend request was showing up daily…..So I literally began praying over this man daily. It was very weird to pray over someone I had never met or talked to before, but I did it daily. Then one day I looked at his profile picture in detail and he had a tattoo that said Remnant, I Love You and Romans 5:11 which says So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. I was in awe…It literally struck my heart and all the sudden I heard God telling me to friend request him. I being hardheaded, did not do it then because I thought it was weird. And the next day came and there he was again. So, I prayed about it and asked for confirmation, and I got it a few hours later by hearing God tell me you have been praying for me to reveal your husband to you and when I do you question me. So, I said Well ok then and I did it…I friend requested him….and within a few minutes later he accepted. So, at that point I was like…. ok now what?? So, I just went to bed and the next day he messaged me a Good Morning meme and it was cute, and we began talking about anything and everything. We discovered that we both have the love and passion for worship and praising God. Then we found ourselves talking every day. We did daily devotionals together and began praying together. We were sharing music back and forth with each other. I discovered him to be a God-fearing man, willing and wanting to please God in all that he does. He made mention that he was waiting on his Proverbs 31 wife. My heart was screaming I’m it. But all I could tell him was to keep praying for her and God will deliver her to you in His timing….NOT YOURS!!

His reply was “Patience, I know”. I sent him a meme that said Imagine someone getting approval from God to be with you….. he asked for more details so I told him A woman’s heart should be so close to God that a man should have to chase Him to find her. A Woman with that mindset and lifestyle gives her permission to love you. So, by 5/11/21 he made mention that he wanted to be together as a couple. I had to explain to him that I do not believe in dating but that he could court me with intentions of marriage. At that point I think he was in shock because he wanted the same thing and he agreed. It was really weird because I never believed in long distance relationships, and he lived 3 hours away. On 5/16 I drove to see him, and we went to eat dinner and we had a bet that we wouldn’t kiss each other. So, he excused himself to go to the bathroom and when he returned, he presented me with a beautiful promise ring. I was so shocked and stoked. He asked me to be his girl and it was a promise ring that meant he wanted me for life. So, I said yes and thus it began our relationship, our courtship. He caved and lost the bet and kissed me, It was so wonderful to have my last first kiss. We began our journey together of learning each other and growing together. Everything was happening so fast in such little time. On 7/18/2021 we went to dinner and a movie at a friend’s house, and he came in from talking outside and got down on his knee and proposed. My heart was screaming YES!!! I was shocked and I couldn’t wait to be married. We had agreed to get married that December by JP and have a ceremony the following year. But then, we changed our minds and decided to just wait until December of 2022. We have had many ups and downs in the process of learning and growing together. But after each incident God has brought us closer and closer together. It is the best feeling knowing that God brought us together and has been the core of our relationship. I have the privilege of marrying my best friend, and I so look forward to having my forever love 5-Ever!!

Coming Soon!!
