A love letter from Erika to us.
"Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart" - Psalm 37:4 "Fais de l'Éternel tes délices, et il te donnera ce que ton cœur désire". - Psaume 37:4 "Deléitate en el Señor y él te concederá los deseos de tu corazón." - Salmos 37:4
Valeria and Exo first met on a windy, rainy commencement day at Dallas Baptist University, introduced by Valeria’s sister, Erika, a brief encounter neither imagined would matter one day. Months later, after a few quiet campus crossings (and an almost pickleball moment Exo never followed up on, which they now laugh about), everything changed on January 31 at DBU’s Lunar New Year celebration with and celebration, they talked, truly talked, for the first time. Exo asked for Valeria’s number, and the next morning, Victoria (Vale's roommate) invited Exo to go on a hike with Vale and other friends. Exo said yes right away! That walk became the beginning. The whole hike, they walked together, side by side, sharing stories; they both felt something different, steady, sincere, and real. From then on, long walks around campus and sunsets on Prayer Mountain quietly shaped the foundation of their love. Their story is a reminder that the Lord’s timing is perfect. He knew them long before they knew each other, and when the moment was right, He let their paths meet, and their hearts recognize His plan.
