Without knowing it, I have been praying for Kortney Faith Cochran since I was little. Kortney and I met at a rec-center playing volleyball. I was starting out my first semester in college as a freshman and she was finishing up her last fall semester as a senior. When I met Kortney that night, I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen and it was clear her and I were the best ones on the court! I didn't know a whole lot about her at that point, but I knew I loved making her laugh. For a little while, Kortney and I were just friends playing volleyball every Friday night...and I was just the really good hitter that made her laugh! One night, I put a little group together to play spike ball. It was Kortney and I, and two other friends. Those friends flaked and it ended up being just me and Kortney. If you don't know anything about spike ball you need four players to play, but I didn't care. I could have stayed and talked to her for the rest of my life. The Lord had my back in a special way that night because there was no awkwardness whatsoever. Before then, I don't think I had had a smooth conversation with a girl. I still thank the Lord for that gift. From then on, I was smitten. I remember texting a close friend of mine that I was going to marry this girl. That was a month before we were even dating...thank you Jesus! We are so thankful for all of you and what you mean to both of us. We ask that you pray for us, pray over the wedding, and pray for our marriage. Pray that we can walk according to Him and give Him the glory always. This would mean more than you know. We love y'all.
