It all started my first year at Camp Cho-Yeh in 2017 after my mom and I drove 24 hours to a ministry I found on google... when I tried to set Micah up with a friend (you know who you are). Okay, maybe not the most romantic beginning, but God definitely knew what he was doing! From the moment I met Micah I was inspired by him. Micah had (and still has) such a Godliness about him that I had never known before and it drew me in. But one problem, I wasn’t looking for a relationship and so naturally I began trying to set him up with a friend, knowing that whomever dated Micah would be one lucky girl! Well, before I knew it, this attempt to set Micah up budded into our friendship. It didn’t take long after we met for Micah and I to become close and we soon began doing friendly camp favors for one another, like taking unwanted shifts from the other, buying eachother sonic on off time, and soaking the other in paint during paint wars. Evidently, after a short time my friend, that I was supposed to be setting Micah up with, was convinced he liked me (*sarcastic gasp*). Before we knew it the end of summer had arrived and with it a sad goodbye. As the thoughtful man he is, Micah made sure I made it back home safely and we talked a few days before the few brief months of silence began between us. And then, one morning in November, to my surprise I received a text from Micah asking if I would make it back to camp the upcoming summer. It was with a heavy heart that I replied letting him know I probably wouldn’t make it back because I had to take some summer classes, but the Lord had another plan. That day spent catching up in November turned into six months of us non-stop texting, calling, facetiming, along side a period of petition between the Lord and I.

I continued to ask God about His plan for me and whether or not he wanted to use me again at camp that summer. And sure enough, against all logic, God’s call was to go, to which I said yes and applied for another summer of sharing God’s gospel. Within that sixth month period of increasing closeness, it became undeniably clear to both of us that the only thing keeping us from the boyfriend/girlfriend title was distance. And so, on the second day of staff training, after not having seen each other for nearly a year, Micah asked me to be his girlfriend. And, well, the rest is history! Micah Todd Wolff has been the absolute most precious gift from the Lord and more than that, a testimony to my faith. Our love is proof that the Lord answers prayers and that he can work miracles! I have prayed for Micah since the time I was a teenager, and I have asked God in my prayers for a man that I honestly didn’t think seemed to exist. But my goodness was I wrong! The Lord has provided me with a future husband and father that is SO much more than I ever could have fathomed then. He is pure, obedient to Gods will, kind, supportive, encouraging and much much more! Micah has brought me to confidence in myself, my aspirations, and most importantly my faith. It’s because of him that my smile is so much wider and I radiate so much brighter! The Lord says: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless” (Ephesians 5:25-27) and this is exactly what Micah has done for me and what I know he will continue to do! I can’t wait for our forever and for our love to continue to be a testimony of how great God is!!!

Summer Camp was never a thing I was interested in as a kid, but now that I’ve done four summers at Camp Cho-Yeh I can officially say I’m hooked. Back in 2016 I would’ve never guessed that one Google search could change the course of my life and lead me to marriage! It all started one morning when I told my family I needed out of the RV we lived in at the time. We decided the best choice for me was to work at a summer camp. I applied on a Friday and had an interview the very next Monday, and soon a job in a town in Texas I had never heard of before. After an amazing summer, I came back for another one. That summer I met the most beautiful woman in the history of existence and unknowingly gained not only my best friend, but the woman I know God designed for me to be with forever. After camp in 2017 I unfortunately had to say goodbye to Kylie as she went back to school, but she never really left my mind. It wasn’t until November 28 2017 at 10:35 in the morning that I worked up the courage to text and ask if she was coming back to camp the following year. Which turned out to be the best decision of my life! Even though at first she said she wasn’t, a few months before camp started she texted and said she was coming back for another summer! I was so unbelievably happy I couldn’t contain myself! That school year was so hard for me, but in my darkest times Kylie was a light that led me back to God and helped me through the struggles that I faced. Finally it came time for camp again; my third year in a row. I had to show up earlier than almost everybody else because I had joined the recreation team that summer. It was an agonizing two weeks waiting for the rest of the staff to arrive. Once they finally did though I seized my chance and “addressed the elephant in the room” and asked Kylie to be my girlfriend! This was the starting point to the greatest adventure I’ve ever known. Life with Kylie Elizabeth Blevins!

It’s amazing to me how somehow God had picked the most beautiful, Godly, caring, funny, delightful and most amazing person for me! Every day I still am in awe of the fact that we are going to do life together and I’m so excited for it!! The way Kylie lives her life always reminds me of Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” Someday I hope to be half the person Kylie Blevins is. I love you always and forever Kylie!
