Katelin’s Story: In 2018, Logan and I’s world collided so very unexpectedly. I was content and loved life. I was not searching for the one whom I would spend my life with because I knew God would send him my way when the time was right. A family member (who is also close to Logan) mentioned this guy at her church several times, but I had no interest at all. A month or so passed and all of a sudden I started praying over my future husband like I always did growing up. In that moment, I felt God say, “Stop praying that I will prepare him for you. I’ve already done that. It’s time you prepare your heart for his. He’s coming.” A week later, I felt the enemies attacks on my mind. I felt worthless and that no one would ever love me. One night, my mom and I were riding down the road and she looked at me and said, “Your future husband is right around the corner. He’s coming.” She did not know that I heard God tell me those words a week before that. I cannot express the excitement that I had knowing I was about to meet the one God had designed just for me. Two weeks later, I met this guy playing church softball. Let’s just say, I did not think he was a fan of me. He did not talk to me for 3 weeks! I would walk up to him and his friends and he would walk away haha! Talk about feeling rejected lol! One night they needed an extra player for the guys team and of course I said yes I would fill in. Never did I expect what was about to happen. Our team was up to bat and I was rounding second and this really cute guy coaching third was yelling, “SLIDE GET DOWN GET DOWN!” So, of course, I slid into third. I was safe by the way (I didn’t even need to slide. No one told me this cute guy was full of jokes). I stand up and looked down to see my leg bleeding like crazy! I was so nervous that this guy was going to look at me like I was disgusting, but instead I looked up and saw the most perfect blue eyes, a hand stretched out, and the dreamiest voice say, “I know it’s a bad time, but I think I should introduce myself now. Hey, I’m Logan.” Y’all, I could have passed out!! I would like to say everything was perfect after that, but I would be lying. We got to know each other and started falling for one another very quickly. Fear started creeping in and I tried to distance myself from him (not just once, but several times). Even in those moments, Logan stood by my side and pursued my heart. His constant pursuit of my heart reminds me of the way Christ pursues the church. No matter how many times we run, God is right there with open arms reminding us of how much he loves and cares for us. I have always prayed that God would send me someone who loves and protects my heart the way He does. My prayer was answered when I met Logan. Our story is not the typical fairytale, but that’s okay. Logan came into my life in an unexpected way, but it was the perfect way. I slid into his base and he slid into my heart. Now here we are 4 years later and saying, “I Do!” and I still have the scar on my leg from the night we officially met. He left his mark on me in more ways than one.
