I first met Hunter back in 2017 at Osborne Baptist Church. At the time I just saw him as the quiet, dorky bass player that was really competitive (Boy was I wrong about him being quiet😆) We served on the worship team together almost every week and I thought he didn’t like me, but little did I know he was just afraid to talk to me. Eventually, time passed and I began attending another church, we both saw other people over the next 3 years and we had a few strange “coincidences” but the thought of reaching out to him honestly never crossed my mind. Back in November 2020, Hunter and I both shared the same post on our Instagram story and it said something like “Dear Future Husband, May God continue destroying your relationships until we meet” which sparked a conversation, and next thing I knew we were engaged 😂 There’s so much I could say, but I’ll save it for the vows. Our love story has been a testimony of God’s redeeming power to take what the enemy meant for destruction and work it for our good. My dating history is nothing short of pain & chaos, so I was anxious to begin dating again when Hunter and I reconnected, but I received so much confirmation almost immediately that this is it. He’s the one I’ve been praying for and I’ve never been more confident about anything else in my life until now. I’m a lucky woman to say the least.
I still remember when I first saw Savannah. It was 2017, I had just finished playing in our middle school worship program at Osborne Baptist Church and noticed an attractive new girl working at the cafe. I was used to seeing new faces come and go there and told myself I probably wouldn’t see her again, but then she started singing in one of our worship programs. I was captivated. We served together in our weekly worship programs for a while, but as bad as I wanted to I could never find the courage to talk to her. Eventually, my opportunities of talking to her came to an end. She began attending another church and we both started seeing other people. Fast forward a couple years, I ran into her in Greensboro, we said “Hey” and kept going. I didn’t think anything of it, but little did I know God was working in the background. Then in November of 2020, we both shared the same post on our Instagram story that said “Dear Future Husband, May God continue destroying your relationships until we meet.” Seems like that post was accurate as it lead to us talking, dating, getting engaged, and now getting married! As sappy as that love story is, the bigger love story is how all of this is proof of God’s perfect and redemptive will for our lives. When everything seems lost and hopeless, God, at just the right time, transforms them into something wonderful. I’ll never forget our first date as it was nothing I had experienced before; Savannah was genuine and intentional. From then on I knew this wouldn’t be a typical relationship, and God continues to show me things through Savannah that make me truly believe I’m marrying a godly woman. Savannah has such a heart on fire for Christ, I couldn’t ask for a better wife.
