Thanks for leaving me out! 😉 j/k *snickers*

You have no idea how much sharing this story encourages others.  Especially those of us who feel like all the guy’s who actually care about our countenance being bright are already spoken for!  Kind of a “we-know-God-has-a-plan-but-it-is-nice-to-be-reminded” thing.

I can’t wait to read the continuing story….

See ya

We both happened to be shopping that day at Wal-Mart. (Which she usually doesn’t do grocery shopping at Wal-Mart.) I then met that girl at a wedding over two months later. It just so happened that we remembered seeing each other in Wal-Mart that first time.
After meeting her officially, she became interested in my blog and commented annonymously. (sp?) (She was not “husband hunting.”) That began an internet correspondance, but I didn’t know it was her until May. Sort of like a “You’ve Got Mail” thing.
Does that make more sense? Maybe I should look at re-wording some things.

God is awesome. Congratulations…. it’s so amazing how God works out every little detail. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed your story. God bless you both! ~Em

Why were you and her at Wal-Mart in the first place? Like, you were shopping and she was shopping and it just happened that you were both there that day?
And then through series of circumstances, you befriended this other random shopper’s family? And then this random shopper found your blog?

I’m so confused.

You are truly an encouragement for me to continually seek God’s will and to move in God’s time. I have been struggling with being content as a single man. But your story encouraged me more than you could ever know. I’ll definitely be in prayer for you and your engagement/marriage. Please pray for me as I pray for myself to have a more content spirit with God as my ultimate satisfaction. 🙂

But I think I’ll leave it because 1) It’s catchy and 2) It doesn’t really speak to WHO made the match. It only says where the match was made. God made the match, and Wal-Mart is where it happened. (Sort of.) OK, so it’s weak, but I’m still leaving it!

It is awesome to see God open doors to the one you love isn’t it! Thankx for sharing, this got me remembering how God opened doors for Matt and I. God is good all the time!

So, you should add a link to “Anna’s side” of the story.

Love ya’,

Your proud Dad
