HOW WE MET

Bumble Didn't Fumble

It has been a year and a few months since we both swiped right and matched on the Bumble dating App. November 23rd to be exact. Yes, you read that right! An App! God works in mysterious ways right?! Well, the odds were very slim for us to meet. Sam was only in Cornelia, Ga a few days for Thanksgiving. At the time, I was ignoring all matches on the app out of apathy. (All of the matches expire within 24 hours.) On top of that, Sam didn't know that the location-based search on the dating app changed with his GPS. Sam was living in Nashville, Tennessee and if he knew the location detail information, he probably wouldn't have been on the app while visiting his beautiful mother and sister. Despite the odds against us, we matched. We both remember exactly where we were when we matched. I was at my aunt's house at the dining room table and Sam was at his mom's house on the sofa. What made us swipe right? First and foremost, we had God as our 1st priority in our mini-biographies. We didn't meet in person right away because Sam had to drive back to TN. After a couple of text conversations, I could tell Sam was different. I no longer had an interest in talking to anyone else and I loved that he didn't do small talk. The first phone call was 4 hrs long and we shared our testimonies. I knew Sam was the one because during our first conversation I told him a joke about something Brody did and Sam laughed harder than I did. It was the first of many answered prayers. We decided to meet in person on Dec 9th, 2017 and God took over. As soon as I laid my eyes on him I knew Sam was the one God had picked for me. Followed by a 14 hr long date enjoying and falling in love in the beautiful city of Chattanooga. We committed that same night to date with intention. Sam told me about his calling to plant a church in the future and my heart was filled with peace that whatever obstacles we face that we would face them with God as our king and redeemer.
