From Lisa...

You hear people say "when you stop looking, you'll find your person." I actually hated that statement but it's never been more true for how God brought me Jack.

In the summer of 2023 I was really struggling with what I wanted when it came to a relationship, yet alone marriage. I am a huge fan of therapy (shout out to my girl Alyssa who has literally walked with me through some of my hardest times) but she challenged me in this area of my life for a good 8 months. She guided me through some healing that needed to take place, asked me the hard questions and ultimately helped me see that there is hope that I could love and trust again even though my heart had been broken so many times.

Fast forward to the spring of 2024, I put myself out there again (heyyyyooooo bumble) and told myself I was only going to be on the app for a week and of course the first person I matched with was Jack. I had several work trips which kept us from meeting in person for a bit, but Jack was so persistent with texts and phone calls and we finally met.

Our first date was at Carve, where we spent about 5 hours talking. The entire evening was so easy but I was still "guarded" because I didn't know if I could take my heart being broken one more time. Over the next several months Jack persued me in a way I've never known and now I am experiencing a love I've never known. The only way I know how to describe the way he loves me is truly how Jesus loves us. It's personal, unconditional and selfless. To be on the receiving end of Jacks love is the best gift I could have ever been given!
