Which guy in the avatar is you?

i don't know .... mmmm.. id have to re watch it

speaking of witch were always talking about women being modest but i remeber my paster talking about men being modest as well. although i missed the last half of the sermon that day. so how would a guy be modest

I hope everything goes well for you both. Sometimes it seems sad that only God knows the future. But surprises are nice. I will be praying, too!

thanks that was quite helpful.

So will keep you posted as things progress.

Er, yeah!! ALL the details please

Details, details, details!

I need to explain the story and take y'all back into my high school years. The story gets a bit complicated but as you read, you'll be able to see God at work..boy I sure did!

In high school I was in a French class with a friend named Tami and another guy, who was best friends with my friend Matt (one of the guys in Josh's avatar). In short, because I was sitting near Tami and this guy, I helped set them up. They in turn, attempted to set me up with Matt, who is now one of my dearest friends and someone I really thought I might end up with. God had other plans

Matt was good friends with Josh in high school (they went to one across town from me) and because Matt is so social, he pulled his group of friends together during the last month of high school and the following summer, this was the summer of 2005. At this point Josh and I have only briefly met, never talked. At Matt's graduation, I met another of one of his friends named Dan who I would eventually date that summer for a few months but ended things because we just didn't have anything in common besides our friends. On that same day at the same gathering, Josh also met Dan and became close friends with him over the next four years. I would spend the next four years keeping in contact with Matt and Tami as we all separated and tried to figure out what to do with our lives. Everyone here knows I dated my last boyfriend for close to two years during this time but on September 30th, 2007 I ended things and began following the Ludys' ministry. I kept in contact with everyone from Matt's "group" and even went to college with Tami. Josh was still one of Matt's random friends to me at this point, but little did I realize that even briefly dating Dan would cause something much greater to happen in the future.

Fast forward to this summer. Tami and I had a falling out during college but we were able to repair our friendship and move on just recently. This caused her to invite me to her pool party about..three weeks ago and during the week prior, Dan suddenly realized that he thought Josh and I would make a perfect couple. He consulted with Tami on this match up, who really didn't think it'd go over well, but agreed to let Dan give it a shot. Unknown to me (I was dealing with hospice care at this point), Dan is talking me up to Josh the entire week about how great a person I was ect.

I hesitantly decided to leave the house and go to the party where Josh just happened to be. I knew something was up because he kept pulling himself out of the pool to talk to me (I'm a horrible swimmer so I wasn't in the pool), even though it was super hot out. During this, Tami approached me and asked if I was going to go out with Josh because apparently Dan thought we'd make a good couple. I blew them off because I was so distracted with what was going on at home but learned the next day Josh asked Tami to pass along a message with his phone number to me. (Later he explained that he didn't want to risk causing a scene during the party by asking me out because that'd just be awkward!)..I agreed, if only because I was grieving and needed a distraction and thought it'd be good to get to know someone new. It was only like an hour into our first date that he said he heard I was non-denominational and that he was too. This was surprising because I'd always assumed he was Catholic, like Matt. A good first sign! Prior to our date, I called Matt hoping to get some information because I really didn't know that much about Josh. Matt was surprised with the set up but said it made total sense. Ever since then, he's become like a chaperone and wanted updates on our relationship It's fully "Matt approved" which is great because he knows us both so well.

It wasn't until our third date where he explained his heart for missions work that I really thought there was anything there, besides the point that we talked for hours and never seemed to get bored! He was so sweet and respectful of me as well, I was impressed. Over the next two and a half weeks we spent as much time as we could together and we have so much in common, so many of the same dreams and goals, I began to really think that this was a relationship from God! I never knew that there could be someone else who thought the same way I did on a lot of issues or had the same desires for his life. On Wednesday at the waterpark, Josh revealed to me that if we were to date God would need to be at the head of our relationship and it blew me away.

Yesterday was a big day because we knew we needed to see if we liked the same style of church. I took him to the one I've basically grown up in and he loved it. That was all the confirmation I needed. We went to "our" spot at the park (where we'd spent our second date-four hours of just talking) and decided it was official! There are both things we need to work on but I'm really excited to see what God has for the future! We've slowly told our friends about what was happening and everyone is so happy for us. I'm blown away that God has given me such a great group of friends and such a good relationship!

This is only the beginning

That's great that you have so much in common. I love seeing how God brings people together!

It's amazing the way God works in our lives, isn't it?

Wow, I'll be praying for you! That's so neat!
