I can't wait to call Derrick Brent Winkler my husband because...
Through the good times and hard times I know that he will have the strength to focus our relationship to the Lord.
He doesn't want to risk his relationship with the Lord and our relationship so he gets rid of his facebook when some girl sends an inappropriate picture.
He spends his time serving the Lord while waiting patiently for the Lord to provide a job.
He leaves me sweet notes on my car at work.
His heart still beats really fast when I lay my head on his chest.
He values his relationship with the Lord by starting his day in the Word.
He values me by leaving at night when we are both tired, so we won't have any regrets going into our relationship.
He comforts me when I am upset.
He forces me to communicate about things I don't want to talk about.
He misses me when I am gone.
He is the Love of my life after God of course.
He makes me laugh and he laughs at me.
1 John 4:19 "We LOVE because he First Loved Us."
Through mine and Derrick's engagement it has been difficult with temptation, but the Lord has consumed our thoughts and hearts. Through Satan's schemes and trying to crush our relationship, we have begun to cling to the Lord within the past week. It has been a beautiful time of growing and maturing. I am so excited to see what the Lord will continue to teach us over the next 242 days of our engagement that will prepare us for marriage.
Through this time we would like to ask for your prayers and support to prepare us for marriage.
