Honestly we aren’t sure where or how we met … but we were always friends. “I remember meeting the ‘Georgia Boys’ and instantly thinking that they were crazy, weird and different … and I knew they were my kind of people” -Khalia “I don’t remember meeting Khalia but I always remembered that I knew her from somewhere” - Jason Of course the pandemic happened and we lost touch but when everything started to open back up again, we were still simply just friends … until everything changed. “She left y’all … she was always a spiritual person who wanted to do more for Jehovah. I remember, though, when my view of Khalia changed but at the same time I recognized that I needed more time with Jehovah by myself and she was leaving …” -Jason “I had no clue (until I did) but I do know that I never saw Jason as a ‘brother’. His brothers were my brothers but he never was because it was different with him. Nonetheless, at the time I didn’t explore those thoughts but I explored service to Jehovah and saw no sign of returning 🤷🏽‍♀️” -Khalia “I remember when she came back like it was yesterday. I saw Jayda and Sister Gonzalez and was like ‘What are they doing here?’ So I asked Jayda and she said that they’re visiting with Khalia … I thought to myself Khalia who?” -Jason “Yeah I made my way back with Jehovah’s guidance and blessing and surprised them.” -Khalia Still, after all that, we were just friends. “When I moved back, I unintentionally (believe it or not) moved back to the same congregation as Jason. Perry was just another home, apart from Fort Valley, so I knew I would be able to settle pretty nicely there. As time went on though, I saw more of who Jason was/is. Whether we were at the Hall, exchanging glances, or chaperoning for Jordan and Cheron (fun times) … those thoughts came back and I prayed intensely to Jehovah.” -Khalia Jehovah knows, neither one of us expected life to lead us here but here we are … ready to serve Jehovah together. It was a journey but we wouldn’t change a single measure of anything that has happened because Jehovah stayed with us as individuals and has blessed us as a union. Of course, we know 1Corinthians.13:8, “Love Never Fails” but most importantly Ecclesiastes.4:12, “And someone may overpower one alone, but two together can take a stand against him. And a threefold cord cannot quickly be torn apart.” We thank Jehovah for allowing us to experience such a love built, not only on love for Him but on friendship with each other and with Him.
