Trust God and be open...
Greetings to all the singles on this site! I would like to share my story with you in an attempt to encourage you in your pursuit of a spouse.
My husband, who is in the Air Force and is stationed in MO, was using some of his leave time to visit his family in NY. While he was on leave, he got into a motorcycle accident with a deer. I, who was a native of PA for 26 years, was working as a nanny and a server. At the very end of Sept 03', an ad for this site came onto my screen. I was highly skeptical of using a dating site on the computer to find my future husband. Besides that, I had recently come out of a bad relationship and I did not feel I was ready to pursue another one at the time. However, something prompted me to check it out....I am thinking a mixture of God's divine intervention and a good dose of me being extremely curious by nature. :) I started looking around on it and found I liked the things it offered. At the end of my trial time, the option was presented to join. I enjoyed talking to other male Christians on here and I figured I had nothing to lose. Not more than two hours after I joined, my life, unbeknownst to me, was about to change. I sent an email on Oct. 6, 2003, to a man who was serving in the military. I just felt the need to thank him for serving our country. I NEVER in my wildest imagination expected to hear back from him or have things happen as they took place. That same night, he sent me an email back inviting me to chat with him. From that night on, we spent time online talking. We set-up a date to meet in Nov. 03', but but his commander called him and told him he needed to get back to MO. It finally worked out for us to meet face to face in Jan/Feb of 04'. Though it was crazy and I do not know how we knew (YOU JUST DO!), we were sure from almost the beginning that God has us "meet" each other on this site for the sole purpose of getting married. To make an incredibly long story short, I visited my husband in MO in April of 04', at which time he proposed to me on a B2!!! We got married on Oct. 23, 04', and I moved to MO the week after we were married. Our wedding was one of the most special times for us and we are both blessed to have found each other on this site. (THANK YOU CHRISTIAN MINGLE!) I know this is lengthy, but I just want to end with (hopefully) an encouragement to those of you reading this. Wait on God...His timing is so much more perfect than our timing. Trust God and be open...God can use ANYWAY and ANYTHING HE sees fit to be the way to bring you and your spouse together. I wish you all the best in your search for the one God has created just for you!!!!! Take care.
With God's Blessings,
Tammers
