In the summer of 2022, we were each walking very different paths—different goals, different routines, and maybe even different ideas of what the future should look like. We didn’t know each other, and we certainly weren’t looking for anything. But then, somewhere on the sidelines of a volleyball game, small talk sparked something neither of us expected. At first, it seemed like just another conversation—light, simple, and casual. An opportunity to get to know one another as friends, to share a few laughs, and maybe have a handful of meaningful conversations along the way. But God had something far more intentional in mind. What began as brief chats about mutual friends and shared dreams slowly turned into something more. We discovered we worked near each other and—"coincidentally"—started meeting up on lunch breaks. With every moment spent together, something in us quietly grew. A spark had already been lit, and now it was catching flame. But it wasn’t all effortless. Eventually, we hit a roadblock—one that led us to step back from what had become a clear but unspoken interest. And yet, instead of walking away, we chose to lean in—not into each other, but into God. We knew what we wanted... but more than that, we wanted to know what He wanted. So we stopped seeing each other. We fasted. That season was the turning point. It drew us closer to Him. We prayed, we listened, we had honest conversations with God and with each other. And in that stillness, we began to hear. Clarity, peace, and a quiet confirmation began to take root. Through that surrender, we realized this wasn’t just something we were building—it was something God had already been forming. Just two months after meeting, we officially began dating. But to us, it didn’t feel like a beginning—it felt like the continuation of something that had already been planted, refined, and nurtured in the heart of God. Looking back, His hand is undeniable. He directed our steps, spoke into our moments, and protected what He was shaping. Through trial, He taught us how to pursue love. Through distance, He showed us how to honor one another deeper, and through every season, we found Christ right in the center of it all. God has carried us through so much already. We've traveled the world to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. We’ve faced trials, endured spiritual warfare, and stood firm in our individual callings. And still—here we are. Engaged. Building a life together rooted in faith, prayer, and the surrender that brought us here in the first place. We are living in the middle of answered prayers, held by a God who heard every one of them. This is our story—and by His grace, it’s only just beginning. It is all unto Him.
