Once upon a time, a handsome man laid eyes on a beautiful maiden in their dorm lobby in Auburn. They fell in love. The rest was History. Well actually, Abigail never remembers meeting Patrick. (He remembers meeting her though ;). ) Somehow though, by the grace of God, we became friends. Somewhere in the midst of our friendship we started having long conversations about the way the world was created to be- and how since sin entered the world things are broken- they are not how they should be. We bonded over our desire to see things made right! We believe that "{God's} kingdom come, {God's} will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" are how things should be. The Bible describes God's kingdom as a place where people have plenty to eat, there is not war, there is no injustice- things are perfect. We definitely want front row seats to see that happen! Jesus came to redeem the world to God; God is still at work. Both of us want to join in what God is doing around the world to bring redemption and to make the world right. We saw that we shared that passion of joining God where He is at work. (Along the way, we learned to love each other a whole lot!) So we decided to join lives and become one! We are so excited about the gift of marriage, and we can't wait to see where God takes us during this marriage journey! Thanks so much for all of your love and support in our lives so far and as we enter into a marriage covenant! Love, Patrick & Abigail
