My girl. How awesome is God? How lovely are His gifts! My heart is filled with joy, and my lips speak forth praises to Him. My words shall rise up to His throne as a sweet smell to Him. I have found favor with Him, and I will continue to delight in His ways. Where is all this coming from?
Even as I’m writing it, I am astonished! He said I wouldn’t believe it, even if He told me. He was right. Full restoration. A new creation. A work that He is faithful to complete. I told Him, “maybe someday”, and He said to me, “maybe now”!
Miss Dennen, as I like to call her, is a gift. She loves the Lord with all her heart, and that is what first attracted me to her (besides her beautiful face). I didn’t think girls like her existed, but I was wrong. However, she is not just any girl. She’s my girl; made for me, and I am made for her. I don’t deserve her, but for some reason God has chosen to bless me with this relationship. Now, please pray for us as we walk together with the Lord. He must be the center, and the foundation that our relationship is built on.
God is good. When? Always! Through the good and the bad times, seek Him first and all His Heavenly blessings will surely come after!
I look forward to sharing more…but for now I’ll let you all marinate in suspense.
I was under the impression that I made a comment here. Anyway, Praise God for delivering you from all the forces of darkness, and giving you life in Him! Pray that both you and Miss Dennen would operate as one unit

I have been following your blog now for some time,never commented though. God’s restoration work is a thing of beauty, so awesome. I am actually in CA, but have been listening to a podcast in NC, Elevation Church and they are doing a series right now on courting, engagement etc. It is a pretty great series and I have been blessed by what has been spoken and I have been married for 20 years! Anyway check it out, you may find what the pastor has to say useful for this season in your life. I think the website is elevationchurch.org

You’re right… you’ve definitely got a one-of-a-kind and VERY special girl. I love her so much, and I am praying that your relationship with her will be incredibly rich in the Spirit.
God Bless!

Congratulations! That’s great to hear!
I can’t help but wonder if that’s why your frequency in blogging has decreased of late…
(Just messing with ya; though I would certainly understand if that really is the case!)
