Long Time No Talk

Sorry for the silence. 
Just been busy in my own life I almost forgot I still had a blog.

Since our last chat I've met the man of my dreams
moved to Florida
and GOT ENGAGED! 

I know...Its lot to take in, but I'm about to elaborate. 

The end of March I had the privilege to go on an outing to Jonesboro, AR with Urshan College.
I wasn't supposed to go on it because there wasn't any room, 
but last minute a girl backed out and asked if I could take her place.
The weekend was spent passing out tracks, practicing for Sunday's service and youth party....
Where it all began.


I was sitting there with a group of people working on my cardboard testimony.
When in he walked.
This tall, dark haired man with a bright yellow shirt
And tennis shoes to match.

The first thing that crossed my mind....
Arkansas has some good looking guys!

But then this good looking guy came and sat right next to me
And come to find out we both lived in Florida for a short while and both our parents lived there still.

Crazy small world!

Little did I know this tall, good looking, country boy would soon be so much more then some guy I met at a church event!

Time went on and we started talking, which turned into dating,
Which somehow turned into us moving to Florida to be closer to our parents and for better jobs.

Let me stop before I get ahead of myself.
This man God has brought into my life is more then I ever could have asked for.

In previous posts I'm sure you've read all my specifications for a man.
All what I thought my man should and should not be.
Not that I was looking for Mr. Perfect,
More like Mr. Right! 

I started questioning if he existed, but 
Spencer has and continually shows me that he does,

I've never had peace about a guy I was talking to. I'd always find something to nit pick. 
But with Spencer I have no doubt in my mind where he belongs...
With me! 

Now back to my story! 
September rolls around and this boy proposes to me... 
Like I said so much has been going on!

But my reason for writing this is for all you wondering minds 
Who think we are going too fast, 
Who are questioning if I'm in Gods will,
Who are wondering if I'm still going to pursue ministry.

Someone a while back, when Spencer and I were talking marriage and talking about moving to Florida, was praying with me and told me I had some crucial decisions to make in my life. The decision to follow my calling and God's will or follow my heart and fleshly desires. 

Although Spencer's name never crossed his lips I'm pretty sure that's what he meant by following my heart and fleshly desires.


My question is why must they be two separate decisions. To me they are on in the same!



I've been living for God all my life. Chasing after this calling he has placed in my heart and now God has given me the desires of my heart. 

I am so blessed.

I always heard stories of people finding their help mate, their other half and how in love they are and now I know what they were talking about! 

I can't wait to start my life with you Spencer Cain and I can't wait to see what God has in store for us!
