We first met in a small group at church, but for more than a year we barely spoke. Ashley thought Adam was too serious, and Adam assumed Ashley wasn’t interested. Still, we couldn’t help but notice each other’s heart for God and the way we cared for people. After months of prayer, Adam finally asked Ashley to coffee in January—though it quickly turned into dinner when every coffee shop we tried was closed. A few long dates followed. By March we were officially dating, in June we served together on a mission trip to Honduras, and on July 7 we got engaged. Our story is one of redemption and God’s perfect timing. We’re so thankful for the love, prayers, and encouragement of family and friends who have walked alongside us on this journey.
