It’s our time now!

There's plenty of fish in the sea, right? Our first encounter was a result of dating the "new age" way and initially meeting online. We shared intellectually stimulating conversation and eventually met in person. I recall feeling so comfortable--so safe--that I wanted to kick off my flip-flops and curl up in the restaurant booth like I was at home...because I FELT at home. Fast forward just about a month, though, and I did what Candi had grown accustomed to doing--I ran. I ran because I felt exposed and vulnerable. Tremaine saw through my tough girl exterior and on to the less confident side of me and challenged me to tear my walls down without even realizing it. We kept in touch over the next few months, sporadically checking in on one another. It wasn't until we ran into one another at a church service that it all changed. The presence of God has a way of doing that, ya know. Tremaine was playing for the guest pastor and I was supporting my friend's church anniversary. Prior to that service, we hadn't seen each other for months. Unbeknownst to me, my attendance was the confirmation he had been seeking God for. A week after that, we went to brunch, and though I didn't say anything then, I knew as I sat across from him and we conversed about things I've rarely shared with others, that this was something special. At that point, I allowed the peace of God concerning my love life to completely overtake me...and glory to God, HE has been in it ever since.
