Michael was training for a new truck driving position in Tennessee. His hotel was right next to a restaurant named Legends. A cosmetology student/ aspiring model named Jessica worked at the time. Michael walked in the restaurant and Jessica was asked to take him to his table. This is when Micheal eyes was locked in on Jessica. She became very blushed and gitty. The other servers begin to noticed the instant chemistry between the two. Jess was ganged up on by the other servers and listened to crazy comments like "girll You better say something!." So Jess quietly tells them "I don't approach men and he will have to talk to me 1st". Even after being told that, one of the other servers goes right Michael tell him that Jessica wants to talk to him. So he immediately calls her over. They connect instantly on another level. It was almost as if they created their own world and no one else was on the planet at this time. They could not stop talking for hours and hours but the hours strangely felt like minutes. So Michael looks at Jessica and says Im going to marry you. Yes the first day they met Michael knew that he wanted to marry Jessica. Unfortunately, there is also a such thing as right person but wrong time. About a month after this life defining moment, the two split over lack of communication and distant. Little did they know, the next match maker for them would be God Himself.
When it is God's will, he will move in miraculous ways. Years after they met, Mike had rededicated his life to his first love ministry. His mother prophesied to him that his wife will be revealed to him. Almost instantly a image of Jessica came to his mind and didn't leave. Jessica was a hairstylist and fashion student in St. Louis when he was told this. At the sametime, God was putting on her heart that her husband was coming soon. Mike says boldly in a Instagram message "Look I am in love with you.....never stop loving you....you are my wife and if you asked God he will tell you Hisself. So Jess responded to his message and they later talked on the phone. All of the feeling from the first day meeting came rushing back. She knew She wanted him to be her husband but she still prayed. The next day, God revealed that Mike was in fact her husband while she was driving home from work. She was so overwhelmed by tears that she almost lost control of her vehicle. When Jess mom seen Mike she said that God had showed her his face in a dream about a month before and said he would soon be in Jess life. God is the best matchmaker. The couple decided just to trust in him and to move forward in their relationship.
It was a cold weather day in St. Louis, Mo and snow was on the ground. Mike had flew to St. Louis for Jess's college graduation. The day was well planned, Jess would first get her nails and hair done and then pick up Mike from the hotel for lunch. Then the pair would go to see the arch and then get ready for the graduation later. Literally, almost every single thing went wrong that day. Jess hair appointment was late and her daughter got sick at daycare. Of course this pushed back the lunch and cancelled the nail appointment. Jess hated her hair and the couple went out for a late lunch. So late that with traffic, Jess couldn't get back home to change for her graduation. She had to get her degree in combat boots and jeans. After graduation, Mike suggested getting dinner with her family. She was so tired and her daughter was so sick, she almost declined but he said "trust me your night will get way better". He was right because that night at longhorn steakhouse in front of her family, Mike proposed to Jess.
