Both Heather and I had given up on relationships, but our family and friends told us we should try Christian Mingle. With hesitation and procrastination, God used our stubbornness for His purpose, which was for us to meet and fall in love. Heather still tells that she "felt a peace" when she saw my profile. This turned into some small talk on the app, which led to Zoom calls because, well, COVID...lol. A few dates later, and we knew that God had placed each other in our lives for marriage. Still, both of us were dealing with insecurities from the past when it came to relationships. God walked us through all of these relationship snags, hang-ups, and landmines, which allowed Him and each of us to help heal the other's past wounds. Not only were these moments in life revealing about how much we loved each other, they built a strong foundation for our relationship to grow and flourish into the loving friendship we share today. I remember when Heather stopped, looked at me, and said "Zack, you're my best friend" with a huge smile on her face. I remember when she first said "I love you" to me. I remember our first kiss on the beach during a sunset. This may sound like a well scripted movie, and it is. It is just scripted and written by our Heavenly Father instead of Hollywood writers. I am filled with gratitude towards God that He put Heather in my life. He looked at me and saw that I was alone saying "this is not good," then He gave me a helper. AMEN!
