Gabe and I met for the first time at Lake Hamilton in our hometown of Hot Springs, AR. We met as teenagers and we remained friends throughout high school and into college. As a junior in college, I prayed consistently about what God had in store for me when it came to marriage. Everyone seemed to be in a serious relationship, and I wondered if it was God's plan for me to be in a relationship at all. In this season of prayer, I ran across an old friend, Gabe Collins, on social media. I read his post that was thanking his friends and family for praying for him through a tough season of his life. At the end of reading that post, I put my phone down and prayed this exact prayer: "Lord, would you send me a man like Gabe?" Nothing fancy. That was it. One month later, I got a text. The banner on my phone said, "Maybe: Gabe Collins". I looked up at the ceiling and said, "WHAT! Are You for real?" A couple of weeks later, we were on our first date at a Golden State Warriors game and the rest, as they say, is history.
