My husband and I share what many would call a fairy-tale love story, though we know it is truly a story authored by God. After years of dating and eventually surrendering my desire to find “the one,” I chose instead to focus on personal growth and place my trust fully in the Lord. I remember praying earnestly for a loving life partner and for the family I had once feared might never come to be. In God’s perfect timing, we met just one month later and fell in love almost instantly.
