Our Story
How do you describe what it feels like to find a love that is so perfect, so complete that it fills up your life with everything you ever imagined possible!
Melinda and I know that it was the Lord who brought us together and it is He who has caused us to grow and fall deeper in love, even though, like many of you, we remain apart for a season until our visa is approved.
What an amazing thing that two people can actually grow in their relationship with each other, even though they are apart. A note to encourage all of you who for the moment, are also apart. The next few months of not being together will in the end, become the best moments of growth for your relationship. Dont ask me why this is true, all I know is that Mel and I have grown closer by being apart, than perhaps we could have by being together.
You will also learn to value greatly the time that you do have together and you will treasure each other and appreciate each other more than couples who don't have to go through these months of being apart.
So, as painful as this whole process is, it is a vey good thing for all of us...and remember, it is just a Journey, and the Journey does have an end....
I Love You Melinda, thanks for making my life perfect!
