Two are better than One!
Wow! And to think that this all started with a DM message, "You listen to Dave Ramsey too?"
But in all honesty, ever since we first talked on the phone and I heard your voice, there was something familiar about you. Like I was talking to a friend that I've known my whole life. Its interesting how God works. A year ago, I was just a newly single guy, trying to reassemble his life after another failed relationship. But, I wasn't bitter or broken. I just knew that I had to break the cycles that I created. So I got back to working on myself, fasting, praying, taking care of finances, the whole 9.
I started feeling better about the place that God had me in, that’s when I saw your post in a Christian group that caught my attention. You just passed your teacher certification test! You were also in a place where the Lord was building you up as well. I liked, commented, and friend requested you to see and hear more about you. Fast forward to 9 months ago, and I would follow and be inspired by your statuses and stories. The one that caught my attention again was when you were celebrating another win by paying off a huge debt! I was in the same boat as I also was paying off a huge debt.
So we exchanged numbers and I called you a few days later. When we started to talk, I knew this was someone I could be comfortable be ME around. We would talk about everything from Tony Baker's videos, to quoting movie lines. But of all the things we would talk about, the thing we would talk about the longest would be the Word. We talked and have been talking everyday since then. Although being in a long distance relationship is tough (from Philly to Houston) your optimism and encouragement has made it all the more bearable.
One of the things we would say to each other was, "I appreciate you for sticking around." lol But I sincerely appreciate and love everything that you've done to help me realize that what the word said was true when the Lord said, "Its not good for man to be alone". I'm thankful that God placed you in my life to help me grow my relationship with Him in ways that I didn't even know were possible.
Here's to us watering and growing together! ❤
