Our Love Story

Way back in February 2017 James sat in front of his computer and began typing. Having just finished university and just started working, he couldn't help but look at a world full of possibilities and want to share it with somebody. He began making a profile on Sovereign Grace Singles to see who was out there. At the same time, Moriah also sat in front of her computer scrolling. After a lot of coursing from her mom, she had also created an account on that site, but her desire was to find like-minded friends. She had been very lonely and her health kept her house-bound most of the time, and this was one way that she could get the social interaction she missed. Moriah messaged James first saying, "Hey! Are you really from Ireland? That's so cool!" And to her surprise, he answered back. Her insomnia made it possible for them to continue messaging on a regular basis. But over the summer, James took a break from social media (without informing Moriah that he was doing so). She kept sending him occasional messages and slowly lost hope that he would respond. Out of the blue, just before her birthday, he started to reply to every message she sent. She heard his voice wishing her a happy birthday, as he had promised back in the spring, but it took another month before the flood-gates of conversation opened up. They shared interests, convictions, and laughter until the late hours of the night or early hours of the morning, depending on the time zone. In March, he stepped off the airplane a nervous wreck, and in April walked back on the airplane as a taken man. Over the summer, Moriah and her mom flew out to meet his family. Moriah ended up staying for 2 months and flew home with James. When he left her for the second time in the airport, he had joked about asking her to marry him. She said he wasn't allowed to leave her after just proposing, but she secretly still hoped he would. He came back and proposed December 23rd, and we've been planning the rest since.

For all the days along the way
