Our first meeting was at Liberty Church. The first time I saw Lisa walk into the Atrium I thought "" Wow, look how gorgeous she is "". After a few months of her running and my pursuing she finally decided it was time for us to be friends. Our friendship blossomed from there and in time I fell in love with Lisa. Not only is Lisa beautiful outside but she is equally beautiful inside. Lisa and I have a lot in common and really enjoy serving God in following him in our lives. There is no doubt that God has brought us together for a reason and that is to do his work together. I had prayed that God would send me a good Christian lady and Lisa fits that prayer wonderfully. Lisa has so much goodness in her heart and that just makes me love her more every day. We laugh together, we cry together and we tell silly jokes together. God could not have given me better friend and wife. I love you Lisa Hopkins.

James has always been the friendliest person you will ever meet, so it was easy for us to become friends. It took no time for us to become best friends because we loved working on projects in the church. Unfortunately, it was not so easy with developing a relationship. Thank Goodness James was persistent. Leisa told me, "love was closer than you think". Brian said, "Listen to God where my feet fail (Be still and wait on Gods plans)". Deb praying with me when I felt I had no right to fall in love with James. Even Bucky"s Occasional "Umm hmm".and Vera Sullivan's request to allow love to happen, could not convince me that I had a right to be loved. I am so grateful to have been given a gentle , kind man who sees me through God's eyes and thinks I am beautiful and says so. I am grateful to have a man who loves Jesus and prays for me and my children. I am grateful to have a man that allows me to be me and thinks that I am amazing. Most of all I am grateful to God for bringing a man in my life that I feel the very same way about. James you have a beautiful heart. I have never loved a man the way that I have experienced love with you. Your determination to work hard to serve me only fuels my desire to want to serve you. I love you with all that God has given me to love you with. I am so happy that you are and will be my best friend, my confidant, my partner, my Lover and my husband.
