She had the perfect plan for her life.
When a guy walked into her life, she wasn’t expecting anything to change. He was nice and she was glad he was on staff, but he didn’t fit into that perfect plan she had created.
He was persistent. He saw something in Emily that he wouldn’t give up on. He asked her on a date. She accepted. But, never committed to going. He never gave up. 9 months went by without a single date.
Out to lunch with a friend, the discussion of John came up and she spoke words that she couldn’t believe came out of her mouth. “I miss him.”
“Whats holding you back?” her friend asked.
Whatever it was that was holding her back from taking a leap, disappeared in that moment. She was going to risk everything. She was going to say yes.
A date to the movies and back home to talk the night hours away. She told him she would be his girl. If he asked, she would be his girl.
The moment she dropped her perfectly crafted plan, God gave her a man with qualities she couldn’t hand pick herself.
Three little months later, he took her to dinner, brought her home to a candle lit backyard, and asked her for forever.
They just knew.
It was always you.
Emily + John,
You two are such an amazing picture of how God can change our hearts. You were made for each other and I'm so glad you found one another. I can't wait for the big day next year! God is going to do such amazing things through the two of you!
xoxo Emily
