John sent our family a scan of the infamous letter I sent to Paul in response to his prayer that if he was the best one for me, I would initiate! Long story he can explain, but on the day he prayed that prayer, yes the very day, I wrote the letter. It was a big step of faith for me as I’d always thought that God would bring the one for me to me without my making the first move. I had done that plenty in the past and didn’t want to mess up God’s perfect plan. But alas, Paul's prayer prevailed upon my heart after three and a half years of waiting and wondering, unable to overcome my crush on him.
The back of the envelope shows Paul’s notes from our first phone call the next day: prayer requests! And the picture of us is from the night that we were at a party, two weeks after I’d sent the letter and thought he’d received it. Finally, our friend Suzanne (the one to his right) cornered him and let him know I’d sent him an important letter, at which he bolted and drove the 2 hours straight to his parents’ house to collect it. The rest, they say, is history!
God moves in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform! We will celebrate 35 years of marriage this October and I couldn’t be more thankful and in love with this man.
