I was in Arizona meeting another man. Crazy, I know but I knew God had faithfully brought me to where I needed to be. On October 30th, 2019, I saw Jacob for the first time. He was the first guest to arrive at a bible study get-together, at you guessed it, the other man’s house. I was completely drawn to him. That night, my eyes followed him around and I knew in my heart I needed to know him. Faithfully, God made it happen. For two months I patiently waited for an opportunity to talk to him. Finally, his birthday arrived and I took my chance. I messaged him on Facebook and after ten days of making me sweat, he finally replied! The rest is history! Soli deo gloria!
We were on our way up to the mountain, the place that we had bonded the first time I came to visit after we had been talking for about a month. It was a special place to us and I could tell something was up by the way he was acting. As we went to find the best spot to see the sunset, I could feel him starting to get nervous. His breathing was heavy and my thoughts started racing. After the sunset, we started to walk back to his truck. I stopped him, hugged him, and asked him if he was okay. He got down on one knee and I started to cry. This was the moment I had been waiting for. He asked me to be his wife and without hesitation, I said yes. We kissed and hugged and I cried some more! It was perfect!
