Every love story is sweet, but ours truly feels like God’s perfect timing.

After the world began to settle down from COVID, Jacob started spending more time in Jacksonville. With family at Jacksonville church of Christ, he began visiting the Monday night devotionals for JSU students. These were nights filled with laughter, friendship, and faith. Savannah grew up in that same congregation, and those nights were some of their favorite memories from that season of life. She loved meeting new people and making everyone feel welcome.

Jacob says he was “just coming to make friends,” but from the very beginning, something felt different. There was a calmness about him that stood out. Life at the time was full of movement. Savannah balancing school, jobs, and student organizations, and Jacob managing long drives, studying, and clinical hours—but somehow, everything made sense when we were together.

We’ve always balanced each other without even trying. Jacob brings peace and steadiness to Savannah’s busy world, and she brings laughter and energy to his. What started as a small conversation at the JCSC devo turned into something that felt like home.

Our relationship is built on laughter, faith, and a deep appreciation for each other. Looking back, it’s so easy to see God’s hand in every phase of our lives. Every decision, every change in direction, and every little “coincidence” led us to each other.

Today, we still worship at the same church where it all began, forever thankful that God’s timing was—and still is—absolutely perfect.
