With Love ~Rick & Destiny~ “You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” - Theodor S. Geisel

It was the summer just after his high school graduation. Rick had just moved into town and started attending a new church. It was there that Destiny and Rick would meet each other for the first time. They spent the better part of the next 6 years pursuing Jesus and serving in their local church, but somehow their roads never connected. Little did they know, God (and Destiny's mother) was working on a plan to change all of that.

Some years later, Destiny joined the worship team. Then, one warm San Diego night, during rehearsal for a youth conference, Destiny caught Rick's eye. She was spinning on stage with arms stretched out, singing her heart out to Jesus. Sparks flew in Rick's heart and he knew there was something uniquely special about Destiny that was pulling his heart to hers. So Rick prayed and asked God what He thought - God always had a way of helping him avoid unhealthy and untimely relationships. That night God gave him a dream about Destiny. Then again the next night. This went on the entire week, one dream after another. Rick definitely was not expecting that and strongly felt God's "Yes" to pursue relationship with her. And on Thursday, July 21st 2016 at 1:30pm, Rick mustered up the courage to ask Destiny out on a date. Her response - "No". But he knew that she was worth the pursuit. So, for the next year, Rick pursued Destiny, eager to win her heart one day at a time. Within that year not only were they able to take their friendship to a deeper level but God also spoke to Destiny in a dream with Gods complete and exciting YES to her pursing Rick as well. On July 21st 2017, Destiny and Rick went on their first official date.

After 6 months of dating, Destiny and Rick knew God's YES was on their relationship and both intended to tie the knot sooner rather than later. After they both brought it to God for some time, God gave Rick a dream on January 20, 2018. In the dream, a pastor whom they both loved, was hugging Rick and praying for him saying in two years he and Destiny will be married. Destiny was so excited to hear the dream and egered to know when Rick would ask the big question! From then on Rick started planning the proposal and did everything he could to keep this special day a suprise for Destiny. One year later on January 20th 2019, Rick proposed to Destiny in front of all their friends and family on a cliffside deck over looking the ocean just before sunset. Destiny, surprised and excited, said “YES!"
