One week ago today Lance got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. I will never forget that moment, I will never forget his face while he was asking me, excitement, nerves, a big smile…it was perfect.
For those of you who haven’t heard the story yet, the really important part that you will want to know is that Lance had sent me a text earlier that week and told me that he loves everything about me and wouldn't want to change a single thing. However, as he was pulling the ring out he told me that he actually would like to change something about me, he didn’t want me as a girlfriend anymore but rather he wants to marry me. It was that fairy tale moment that every little girl dreams about. It was also something that I had been praying to hear from a man such as him for a very long time.
In all of this excitement and overly excessive joy there has been something that has stood out to me in this last week. I’ve been amazed at how God speaks to us and meets us where we are and in every situation we find ourselves. There have been several times this week, starting with the sermon on Sunday morning where I’ve found myself listening or reading God’s words on marriage. The re ac curing theme is from Ruth.
Where you go, I go. Where you will stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God will be my God.
I can’t even express to you how excited I am to marry this man. He has made me a better person and loves and adores me for everything that makes me who I am. He prays with me and prays for me, he challenges and encourages me and he even calls me out when I need to be held accountable. I’ve never felt more loved by any single person. I’ve never felt so lucky to have been giving this precious gift of a relationship with him.
I’m more than delighted to say that I’ve found a to man whom I can say, 'Where you go, I go. Where you will stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God will be my God’.
