This is Allen.
He has been in my life for a little over a month. The whole story of how we met - of how the Lord orchestrated it - stretches back to mid-September. Here's a brief outline:
- Break up.
- Go to Seattle.
- Learn about Krochet Kids International
- Pledge for a date with Nic.
- Go on a date with Nic while in CA for work.
- God speaks, telling me He is preparing a man for me who has the same desires in his heart that I do.
- Come home and live life.
- Wait on the Lord, clinging to His promise.
- Allen gets "locked out" of his church while my church's youth girls are unable to start their van in his church's parking lot.
- They talk.
- My mentor and his pastor conspire.
- Allen calls me.
- We eat eggs together.
- We snowshoe.
- He brings me a Valentines Day present.
- We go out to lunch, show each other pictures, and talk.
- We have a weekly Wednesday lunch date.
- We hike at Thunderbird Falls.
- We watch a movie.
- We start dating.
Out of nowhere, but in the works forever.
Known for about 5 weeks, but feels like he has always been in the background of my life, just waiting.
Just comfortable and fun and easy and romantic.
That's all.
But there you go. It's enough.
