How we met

James had seen Michelle a few times at Memorial Baptist Church, as he visited, but was always to afraid to speak to her. One day he decided enough was enough. He had to find out more about her! So he took to Facebook searching high and low for this beautiful girl. James is reluctant to admit it, and didn't tell Michelle for some time, but he stalked her on Facebook for over a year. Not a creepy stalking, but just checking on her profile every now and then to see if she had a boyfriend yet. James decided to do one very important thing - Pray! James would pray for Michelle several times a week for over a year. Finally, one night God used a friend to help bring Michelle's attention to James. After seeing James, and hearing him play the piano, Michelle couldn't stop thinking about him! God got a hold of Michelle and before she knew what she was doing, she went and asked a mutual friend who James was and said she wanted to meet him. What she didn't know was James had been praying for her. He prayed for God to give Michelle strength, and for God to guard her heart, and to keep her safe from any harm. Every time he would end his prayer, James would ask God to make it possible for them to meet. God heard and answered James's prayer! The time was set for them to meet at Wendy's on a Sunday night, February 7th, 2016. James and Michelle started seeing each other on the weekends. Michelle did all the talking. James seemed to be afraid to talk. You might be wandering what broke the ice seeing how James doesn't shut up now when Michelle is around. Well, one outing they went bowling. Again Michelle was doing most of the talking. Until they sat down to eat and James made a joke about something they were eating. Michelle laughed so hard she snorted so loud people were watching. This is one of James's favorites memories. Funny thing is - Michelle had never snorted when laughing before that day. And she hasn't snorted since. And as for the rest? Well.. they lived happily ever after.

For all the days along the way
