On this day, 8 years ago, my beloved asked me to marry him. What a special day!!! Jonathan was visiting me in Columbia, S.C. (home from Seminary), and he completely caught me off guard with his proposal. I was finishing up my Graduate degree at USC, and missing him terribly. However, I had asked God to remove notions of marriage from my mind until the appropriate time. God was faithful to keep me from day dreaming and wondering every time Jonathan and I were together if it would be "THE" time. And, how sweet the surprise was!!! I still give my mom props for keeping it under wraps and acting so normal on the phone with me in the days leading up to his proposal. After a full day of fun (ice skating in Charleston, etc.) and dinner at the Melting Pot, we went for a walk in Finlay Park, where Jonathan asked for my hand in marriage . . . at which point I went into full day dreaming about notions of marriage and weddings!!!

I have always liked that picture of you and Jonathan. It just captures the love you have for one another. I've had the privilege of hearing how God brought the two of you together and as I've said before it is evident that he intended you for each other. You both have glorified him as he brought the two of you together and are continuing to glorify him in your marriage to this day. It is a wonderful testimony of waiting upon the Lord and his will (not forcing our own will). May God continue to bless your lives together and may he be glorified through you both.
Not sure what's happening to me. I just teared up reading that. We thank God for your family and for Him bringing the two of you together!
Tim, for the Bridges.
