It all began at Ransom Church. Miriam had been attending for a few years and was part of the worship team, leading others in praise. Cody first noticed her while she was leading worship, captivated by her heart for the Lord and her radiant spirit.

After a worship night at the church, Cody invited Miriam to go rock climbing. However, Miriam injured her finger trying to crush a pop can to impress a friend. Nervous about climbing the next day, she canceled, leaving Cody wondering if she was trying to politely back out. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case.

Instead, they went on a coffee date at Coffea, and it was during that time that God made it abundantly clear He had a plan for their lives. Miriam was drawn to Cody’s God-honoring heart, servant spirit, and deep reverence for the Lord. Cody fell for Miriam’s kindness, humor, and her infectious energy for serving others.

It became evident to both of them—and their families—that God had orchestrated their meeting down to the smallest details. They are filled with joy and anticipation as they step into this new chapter, excited to see what the Lord has in store for their journey together
