Krista-“I decided to give God the area of dating and my future husband, as soon as I did that, for the first time in my life it looked like guys were coming from everywhere and chasing me. Howard stood out to me among them and his character attracted me more than anything. At this same time of my life I began to read and study the live it, dream it, pin it book. The Bible says to write the vision and make it plain... so I wrote the list of what I wanted in my future husband. Because of the great character of a man Howard is, he took his time as a gentleman with wisdom in pursuing me first through friendship. My character is a go getter type. So I was oblivious to his pursuit in such a healthy way. I literally thought he had no interest in me. Despite my thinking, I chose to keep Howard in my life as a friend and a dear brother who I admired because of how much of a great man he was. However as time went on I wasn’t looking, but I began to see my list unfold with him. He was everything on my list, everything I wrote on that list-he was. Right before he asked me out because I was under the impression he had no interest, I prayed “Lord if it’s not him, could you please bring someone like him?” Though I felt a little discouraged, I trusted the lord. Three days later, he called me, to my surprise he told me: “Krista I’m straightforward and I would like to pursue you, I’m not into playing games and I’m pursuing you for marriage” That was the beginning of our story. We invite you to the start of our journey as husband and wife from now until forever :)!
