God has a way of giving us little gifts when we least expect them. It all started in a small group at church. Stephanie had just started to attend and on the first day of her arrival, she was crossing the street and I nearly ran her over while I was eating in the car. I got off and apologized to her, and that's the first time we met. The night went on, and I was blessed enough to pray over her and read her a scripture that God put on my heart. Stephanie later revealed to me that when she saw me that first night, she knew deep down that she would marry me one day.

I was told that she would always remember the proposal. So I had to make this extra special. It was your typical Christmas Eve service at church, and Stephanie didn't think much of it, but her family was there, and my family was there. After church service, we went to the front of the pulpit and took family pictures. I was nervous and didn't know when to ask. A little help came my way in that the Pastor came by and asked Stephanie to "turn around and look at the screen" I was able to put up our picture that read "Stephanie WILL YOU MARRY ME", I got down on one knee and asked away. She said "YES"
