So... It's kind of funny to sit back and think how much I always worried about finding someone that would truly make me happy! I've dated several guys in my lifetime, some that didn't last very long and some that I allowed to stay around a little TOO long! I guess i could just tell the story of how I met the amazing guy who has completely turned my world upside down!!!
I actually was dating a guy named nick, whom now I'm very appreciative of :), who got me to come to a christian group on Wednesday nights called Wesley! I started going and loved it...
One night we celebrated the passover, which was really awesome, I've actually never experience something like that before that night! After the night was over I was introduced to a few people, one which was Danial, also known as Danny at that time. Of course, i didn't remember him, like most people we meet and think they aren't relevant in our life. Anyways... I decided to work a Disciple now retreat for a church, which was actually very last minute! The first night I was there the workers were told to come dressed in 50's attire. I was very proud of myself, i made a poodle skirt and came as a 'poodle girl'. Danial was there, and at this point i still didn't really remember i had met him at Wesley before, but i knew i had seen him somewhere! He ironically came dressed as "Danny" from grease and of course EVERYONE there called us Danny and Sandy the whole night!!!
Once D-Now was over all the counselors went to eat at Taco Mac and i ended up sitting by Danial at the table... while we were ordering, to my embarrassment I leaned over to him and asked what Frijoles were and i definitely DID NOT pronounce it the proper way! He of course took every advantage to make fun of me for it...
The next week was Wesley again and it was 'family night'. Family night is where you bring your parents so that they can see what all is going on in your life and come hang out for the night, it was really great!!!! My parents weren't able to come, but that's ok and that's beside the point, anyways....
After we played a few games and before the praise and worship and service started Danial comes over, sits down beside me and asks if he could sit with me, of course i say yes :)
When I got home that night he had sent me an email asking me to go have coffee with him, so I did... coffee ended up being about a 3 hour conversation, which by the way was during finals time, so he wasn't helping me study AT ALL! And the 3 hour conversation turned into almost 3 months of us not spending a day apart unless one of us is out of town!
It's so amazing how God truly does give you the desires of your heart and it's crazy how sometimes you don't even realize what those desires are and he completely goes above and beyond what you could ever had imagined!!!!
Danial is amazing man of God, who loves everyone that he meets. He's so patient, slow to anger, humble and has complete faith in the Lord! I don't know what I've done to deserve someone like him, but am so thankful and blessed to be able to have him on my side!!!!
I've never had someone that thinks I am a princess and who's goal is to make sure I am happy at all times. I finally found that person that wants to open the door for you every time you go somewhere, who wants to buy you flowers or surprise you with little thoughtful gifts just because and who encourages me and lifts me up in the Lord everyday! Thank you Lord....
If you are reading this and haven't met the person that you are suppose to spend the rest of your life with, please... be patient! God has something so great that whatever you think is great, doesn't compare to what he wants to bless you with!
