We're getting married!

It was a beautiful February evening. I was attending a Women's Event at Christ Chapel. I was so full of joy, to fellowship with same like faith women. Little did I know, the Christ Chapel Men were serving at this event. I enjoyed praise & worship and the message of the event "The Wonders if God!" In the church, the foyer was transformed into an elegant dining style with beautiful centerpiece decor on each table. It was so amazing! I was so impressed to see the young men servicing and asking the ladies if they needed anything. I was enjoying the ladies who sat at my table when our table number was called to go to the receiving food line. On my way back to my table in the hall, I saw Carl walking towards me. We both said good evening. I was headed back to my table & he was headed to the kitchen. I took no thought in us passing each other. At the end of dinner, my friend wanted to tell her husband that we were leaving which lead us back to the kitchen. When arrived at the kitchen Carl was at the kitchen door. My friend introduced Carl & I. We smiled, said hello & we shook hands. As Carl was shaking my hand his mouth fell open & he shook my hand for a long time. We all laugh!!! He asked was I new to the church, I responded. We started talking about church & ministry then he started talking about soccer. He was amazed at how much I knew about soccer. I really enjoyed our conversation. Before I knew, it was time to go. We both said it was a pleasure meeting you & we both went our way. As my friend & I was leaving, we took pictures, laugh & spoke to people on our way out. At the door was Carl waiting to see me & tried to walk me to the car. However, my friend husband told Carl he walked us to his wife Carl! I smiled at Carl & said goodnight. Ladies & Gentlemen I heard many people said, "It happens when you least expected & when you are not looking!" Yes, I was not looking nor was I expecting to find me him. We were in the right place at the right time (HIS Timing)!

In my heart, I knew it was coming. I remember the day he said to me, "I won't be satisfied until you are my wife & we are living in the same house!" His actions aligned with his words & here we are! Carl's proposal was very sweet & full of excitement! He put the ring in my iced coffee! Lol, I really couldn't believe, he put the ring in my coffee! The ring was placed in my iced caramel macchiato coffee on top of ice with a straw through it. However, I didn't see it & I shook up my coffee to taste the entire rich flavor! The ring went to the bottom. I drunk a little bit of my coffee & sat it down. Carl said to me, “You have to drink your coffee!" I looked at the bottom plastic coffee cup & saw the ring! I said, "What? No way! We went into the kitchen to get the ring out! When I got the ring out with a big metal spoon, he helped me clean the ring off. He got on one knee & ask me, if I would have him & his boys, he even asked if I would have the girls too which blessed heart he always saw us as his family! He held my hand & look in the eye to say, will you marry me! Without any hesitation or fear, I said “YES!!!" Carl is God sent he is my Proverbs 20:6 "Most men will proclaim everyone his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?" Thank God for blessing me with an incredible man of God! I Love you so much CL3!
