We are happy to announce to you all that, as of Friday evening, Hannah and Christopher F, a godly, thoughtful, and earnest young man from Michigan, are now engaged to be married!
In the Lord's providence, our two families met at a Bible conference last May, and we enjoyed a meal, a hike, and other times of fellowship together there. About a month later my phone rang, and there was Christopher! He (bravely and respectfully) told me he had an interest in getting to know Hannah and asked if that would be agreeable to us.
So, in the ensuing months we got to know one another in a family context, and then Hannah and Christopher sought the Lord's wisdom in a courtship relationship -- many many phone calls, several long-haul personal visits both ways between MI and VA, video calls, emails, texts, etc. They really stretched their virtual technology and wore out the asphalt between VA, WV, OH, IN, & MI! Then, after getting the blessing of his father and me (Tom), Christopher came for a visit this past weekend; took Hannah for a long walk around the property; and proposed to her on the front porch. And she said Yes, she would be honored! :)
And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
(Hos 2:19)
Here are our two families rejoicing for them...
Happy hearts as they visit at church...
Please pray for them as they seek to glorify the Lord during this time and their future marriage!
"I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
(John 14:2-3)
