We first met in August 2022 and dated for a brief time. David had only been divorced for a year and although was moving on in his life, there was a lot of healing that needed to be done within his own self & relationships with his daughters.
David was a good man, and I enjoyed him very much then, but I knew at that time, I was not ready to handle the issues that were at hand. David being a very intuitive man could sense my hesitations and withdrawal. Eventually, I called off the relationship. David was heartbroken over this and went to seek counsel from my Pastor on what to do. He took to heart the counsel that was given him and set out on a journey of healing with the Lord. The hope he had, which at times wavered, was to be able to be restored back into relationship with me and also with his daughters.
The Lord did not let David down! David put in the work with his daughters, within himself and his relationship with God. Then the Lord was able to bring him healings that led to restoration with Aylah and Hannah, his daughters.
In the meantime, David also put a fleece out to the Lord regarding me so that he would know it was the Lord restoring our relationship and not himself. That fleece was that I would reach out to him.
Two years later, after my time of morning prayer, the Lord spoke to me and said, “reach out to David” my response was “why, what for?” the Lord simply said, “talk to him.”

I wrestled with this for a while thinking about what? I hadnt spoken to him in 2 years and didn’t have a clue as to what I was supposed to say to him. After several deleted message, I finally sent one out that simply said “I was wondering if youd like to get together sometime and talk?” David quickly replied “sure”and then gave me his schedule.

We ended up texting the rest of that day and every day after. It quickly became apparent as to why the Lord prompted me to reach out to David. In those early text, David did a lot of confessing and apologizing. He asked for forgiveness on things that only the Lord could have revealed to him. I never told David the reasons I couldnt remain in relationship with him expect that “it was too much, too soon and too fast.” The Spirit of God however revealed the exact reasons.

I reached out to my Pastor who unbeknownst to me 2 years prior had counseled David. I told him that the Lord had me reach out to David and all that he was saying. David was hoping for a second chance, and I felt that a man who would go through so much for the love of a woman on a hope that may have never come to pass, deserved to at least be heard. My Pastor said “absolutely.” Then advised to make sure I had my Fathers yes. Once I felt certain of His yes, we set a meeting date for Saturday August 10, 2024, at Willow Springs Park in Johnson City.


During our chatting time, before our meeting date, a timeline began unfolding. The Spirit of the Lord began revealing that the day I reached out to David was August 6, 2024. David and I first met on August 6, 2022. The day David and I decided to meet was August 10, which was the same day as our original first date in 2022. It was exactly 2 years to the day. Ironically enough we nearly re-created the first date doing very similar things. After walking in the park and talking we decided to go to lunch. After lunch we decided to go to Founders Park and found ourselves sitting in the same spot by the flowing waters that we had sat 2 yrs prior. A little while later we decided to take a walk around the park. By this time, we were already holding hands, and a gentleman was walking past us when he stopped, looked at David and said, never let go of her hand. We ended up in a long conversation with that man and remained in the Founders Park area until around 9pm that night. Our second, first date was nearly 12 hours long after a 2-year gap. We are still holding hands.


That day led into today. In between then and now, we spent the early days counseling, talking and setting boundaries. We decided early on that we would have open communication without judgment. That we would listen to one another and then respond, knowing that communication was a key element. We also agreed to honor God in our relationship; we would pray and study together as well as take communion together. We also decided to refrain from sexual relations. We wanted our relationship to be pure and built on friendship and love vs the desires of the flesh. Our decision to honor God above anything else and to make Him the focus of our relationship was the best gift we could give to each other.
Since our reconnection and growing love, we can see so many changes in one another from 2022. I can see where God worked on me to prepare & heal my heart for such an intense love.
David and I are like twin flames, soulmates, best friends, wonderful companions and we truly just get each other. My boss, Kim Scalf has prophesied marriage from day one. She has called it a love story and we tend to agree with her. She encourages us to write a book about our love story because every step of the way, we have done this Gods way. Even as much as David going to all 3 of my pastors/spiritual fathers for their blessing before proposing.

We are looking forward to building a home together that represents the Lords love for his bride. We consider our home together a sanctuary, a place of refuge, rest and worship. Family is important to us and between us we have a very large family with 4 daughters, 2 Sons, their husbands and wives, and 18 grandchildren spread across 3 states. With the help of the Lord, we hope to unite this blended family in love & visit each as often as possible to build family relationships.
We dont consider any his or mine, we consider all these children and grandchildren ours.
This is the beginning story of Us!
The rest is...... to be continued!
