Of Trusting God and Coming Together

For almost three years, Rachel and I have gone through some of the best and hardest times of our lives together in our dating relationship. We've had rough times in our relationship, but we've also had amazing times where God has worked in each of our lives. Through all these times, we have felt God confirming our relationship in multiple ways. On March 16, 2012, Rachel answered a question that has changed our lives forever.

It was a balmy, foggy day, but we had agreed to take a day during my spring break to just have "us" time and experiment with some photography . Little did she know, I had been planning to ask her the all important question that day.

As she turned around from taking this picture, one that reflects our hope in Christ and the cross, I knelt down on one knee and asked her if she would marry me. After the initial shock, she gave a positive answer and we agreed to spend the rest of our lives together!



 Two Lives...



 Coming Together for God.


To say we are ecstatic would be an understatement! We are so blessed to sense God's approval and the huge excitement of our family and friends on our future marriage. The next few months will be some of the busiest of our lives between college, wedding plans and work. We continue to trust God that he will take us through this engagement time and into marriage. Your prayers are certainly greatly appreciated. Thank you!
