how we met :)

so it has been a long while since i have updated my blog. one reason is because the news i wanted to share, i had to keep quiet until November.
well here is the reason:
i now have a boyfriend! :D
many of you know that we have been talking for a while but for those who don't know here is the story of how we met:
Sean is a part of a traveling ministry called the American Awakening with Tommie Zito Ministries. they go to churches all over the country to share the gospel by training churches how they can do this on a daily basis & make it a lifestyle. they have come to my church a few times now.
this past july, the team was here. on their last day at my church, i decided to go out on the streets with them to witness. i had been struggling whether to go or not; well i decided to go at the last minute. after a few minutes of me getting there Sean walks up to me & starts talking to me. He starts to talk about my water bottle. I have an IHOP water bottle that i basically take everywhere. then we start to get paired up with a team member to go out onto the streets. as my turn was coming up, Sean yells to Ryan, "i want her!" in front of everyone. so while i'm walking towards him, i am thinking, "today is going to be interesting... and fun." i was already nervous to talk to strangers about Jesus and that made it a little worse.
we go to the bus station in dowtown Birmingham with a few other people. Sean and i talked to a few people but we mainly talked to each other trying to get to know each other. we then proceed to the Galleria (because it was cooler) to talk to more people. Sean and i only talked to one person! we mainly walked around to all the stores showing each other what we like.
we get back to the church to eat lunch. Sean and i get our food from the kitchen and walk to the choir room. as we are walking to the choir room, he tells me that he thinks i'm attractive & that he likes me. i basically said the same thing :D
from that moment we have been talking every day.
he spent the whole month of November in Birmingham. we went three whole months without seeing each other from that day we met until Halloween. needless to say, i am one happy girl and i'm so thankful to have a man who fears the Lord and loves Him with his whole heart. God could not have brought him at a better time nor in a better way. i enjoy how the Lord is so unpredictable and everything truly works in His timing. God is good.
