Love has a tendency of being right in front of your face when you are too preoccupied to see it. We had gone to church together and had seen each other over the years, but a conversation one Sunday morning turned into a season in which we would be sharing our lives together. From texting, to phone conversations, to movie outings, watching family feud and taking trips contributed to the foundation of our relationship. This time together has allowed us to learn from each other, enjoy each other, and love each other for who we are. Lao Tzu once said, "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." We have supported each other through various trials and we eventually count it all joy because the strength we will feel from God and each other. The journey that we have embarked upon has created growth and made us better people. The love that we have for each other has given us the strength and courage to commit to each other in front of God and our loved ones, it is a blessing that you can be apart of our first step in a life long journey.
