When Michael and I first met we found one another online. I was always online dating and getting to know other people for friends and made some acquaintances along the way. "Have you ever spoke to someone without hearing their voice, wondering if his/her words are for real?“ I felt like that alot while we were talking. "We started with small chat." There were days waiting by the phone, for one another to reply to our online accounts. Soon after, we realized we were ready to make a leap into the beginning of our relationship. This leap came after three months of chatting online, never having met one another in person. We decided after constant around the clock texting, phone calls, instant messages ( much like a pin pal ) to finally meet. Our first meet was at P.F. Changs in Gulf Coast Town Center located in Fort Myers, Florida. I remember meeting Michael with a solid mesmerizing hue on my face. I was a bit numb from previous relationships unsure if I would be loved by this one. All of a sudden I knew, "I was truly found in that very moment of time and space." That evening, we decided we were inseparable followed by moving in together. Now, we're getting married seven years later. I could never imagine loving someone more than I love myself. Today, I recall telling Michael "I would love him more than I could ever love myself." Now I realize, I would learn the truest value of these words. As I ponder how we courted one another, I recall endless heartfelt anticipation for Michaels replies to our online accounts. This was when I knew, he could be the "very" one, I was looking for all my life. After that moment in time, I now realize Jesus placed Michael in my journey we call life, by this means and only by the grace of Jesus, I can say in solid reflection, "it all fell together." Sometimes we just need to allow ourselves to feel vulnerable for the bigger picture. ♥ Charles and Michael ♥
