Our Love Story....part three

If you didn't read the last two posts, you can find them here and here.

So...when Phil asked me out...I have to say that I freaked.  Remember...I just had that crazy screaming match at God in my car.  So...I did the only thing I could think of.  I called my friend Isaac.  You see....Phil thought it may be cool to ride my 4wheelers but I didn't want to be alone with him...so I called on Isaac.  Unfortunately, Isaac was not available...so guess what I did.  Yeppers....I turned Phil down.  I think he was a bit shocked...but I wasn't willing to sacrifice my beliefs again.

About a week later, I found out that Phil had given his life to the Lord the night before he asked me out.  All I could do was laugh because God had done what I asked...I just didn't know it.

So...as time went on, Phil persisted and we finally started dating.  He asked my dad's permission and through out entire relationship, he respected my parents authority over me.  Phil would have monthly meetings with my dad just to talk about where he was spiritually and what his intensions were with me.

About a year into our relationship, Phil and I went to Marsh Creek (a beautiful lake in our area) for lunch. This was something we would do often.  We went for a walk and while we were walking, I realized I didn't put any jewelry on.  I was bummed because we had a graduation party to go to and I felt completely naked (you girls know that feeling.)  Well...we stopped at an opening just to take in the scenary.  It was beautiful!!!  The sky was the perfect shade of blue and the sun was shining.  It literally was a perfect day in June.  Next thing I know...I hear Phil say "It's funny that you forgot to put your jewelry on today, because I happen to have something for you."  It was at that instant, I knew he was proposing.  I got so emotional and started crying because I couldn't believe it was happening.  I leaned on his shoulder and with his arms around me he said "Will you marry me?"  I of course said yes and he put the BEAUTIFUL ring on my finger. I couldn't believe it...I was finally engaged to the man that I have loved from day one.  The one that I know, without doubt, is my perfect match.
