Through the fall of 2019 and the summer of 2020, I went on a series of dates with men I shouldn't have been giving time to. I knew they were crummy and didn't love Jesus, and I was sinful and wanted attention. I finally had enough of it in September and repented. I felt close to God again, and made up my mind that my Hinge dating profile would convey me as a Jesus freak in order to weed out anyone who didn't love Jesus too.
One day after work I came upon a profile on Hinge. There was nothing flashy or attention-getting about him, and we did have some similar interests. With my new resolve to only interact with guys who CLEARLY love Jesus, I clicked "like" only because his profile said he loved Jesus.
That was a Thursday. After a quick conversation about our favorite bible verses, we planned a hike for Saturday, September 19th, 2020. The conversation on the hike went so well, as did subsequent dates and time spent together, that we got engaged at Tower Fall in Yellowstone National Park on February 6th, 2021, and married on May 8th, 2021! I am so glad I did not settle for a crummy guy; before meeting Angus, I thought men (my age) who loved Jesus were literally nonexistent. I didn't believe in "soul-mates" before, but now I know God can have a mate perfect for us. I treasure God's provision of Angus and our subsequent other blessings, such as our miracle housing, miracle dream job, financial blessings, and more (Cudjoe!😸).
Our next adventure is taking us to Orange County, California, where Angus got his dream job as a roboticist, and this takes the place of graduate school. We are nervous, but excited to see God's fingerprints through this big transition.
To be continued!
