We met in middle school, back in 2018. Over the years, our friendship has grown, changed, drifted, strengthened, and ultimately rested in the hands of God. We have so many memories of amazing times and difficult times together. Eventually, each of us had gone our own way and learned our own lessons. In the summer of 2025, we were brought back together. We began to uncover what our close friendship looked like as adults. By the grace of God, we developed the deepest bond that turned into an undeniable love story. Our testimony is an example of trusting the Lord, His timing, His peace, and His plan. A story of following Him, even when He shows you that your spouse is someone you have grown up knowing as just a friend for most of your life.
