God brought Kayla and I together in a very interesting way which we were really taken back by. My late wife of 11 years, Tiffany, went to heaven in March of this year as a result of a 4 year battle with cancer. God brought Kayla into my life a month later and after we spoke for the first time, there was an immediate draw toward one another. After expressing our feelings to each other shortly after, we also admitted the guilt felt behind it all, as we thought the word would view this as moving on too soon. God was preparing me with being a father to Kayla’s children, and being a husband to Kayla. I fought these feelings and thoughts because I thought it was still not right, I should be grieving more. I was literally asking God to take this away if it is His will, and so was Kayla. Saturated in prayer over all this, I kept feeling a push, almost forced towards Kayla and her adorable 2 children. My 9 year old son kept asking to see them and would cling to Kayla and have a blast playing with her 8 year old son and 11 year old daughter. After talking with our pastor due to concerns of what our church may think of us being in a relationship, he made it clear that we have nothing to hide and that this is a testament of how God works. We made our relationship public knowledge in June and overwhelmingly people were able to receive Joy from what God put together after such a sad moment of my wife going to heaven. Marriage was immediately a topic between Kayla and I after we expressed our love for one another on the 14th of May. Marriage was discussed every few days for the next few weeks. It’s hard to comprehend being patient, and also comprehend following what the Holy Spirit is telling you. But we believe God sets the reference points for scenarios that we are patient for, and trusting God and moving forward in hope of doing His will is where are hearts are set. God has completely blessed us with each other.
