A love that waited for the right time to happen

LET’S KEEP IN TOUCH Brenno and his family headed out to Cape Cod last July for a week-long vacation to visit some friends. What Brenno thought would be a simple trip to the beach, turned into something much more! After meeting Giulyana and having one conversation with her, the two shared a small interest in each other. But as great as it was to meet Giulyana that week, Brenno had to drive back home 14 hours to Michigan. As the two said goodbye to one another, Giulyana told Brenno “let’s keep in touch.” And that’s what they did. By the first week of August, the two started talking to each other online. This led to Brenno asking Giulyana if he could intentionally pursue her and pray for God’s will to come to pass in their relationship. This led them to becoming official and having a long-distance dating relationship. Long-distance wasn’t easy, but they made it work. After many FaceTime calls, plane ride visits to one other, and much prayer, the two fell more and more in love. Through the whole relationship, they allowed Jesus to be the center. They prayed the same prayer every night - “Lord if this is your will, Amen. If it is not your will, Amen. Jesus be the center. We trust You.” God was faithful and led the two into a deeper love for Jesus and one another. As they now walk into the beautiful journey of marriage, the prayer remains the same - Jesus be the center. Good thing they kept in touch.
