A few weeks ago, my Beloved and I were asked to speak to a small group of singles regarding dating and marriage. We talked with them about our dating experience and shared how our journey together started.
Here’s how our love story began….

Jolene,
I just want to thank you and your husband so much for sharing your story! I’m twenty years old and have been a christian my entire life. I know that God has a perfect plan and I desire his plans for my life above my own. I’m not willing to budge on God’s standards for my future husband, and I honestly believe that God has shielded me from potential heartache because of that. However, I have still struggled with feelings of “I’m weird because I’ve never had a boyfriend.”
Completely on a whim I found this video, and I have to say it has immensely encouraged me. Your story has reminded me that God works things out his way and in his perfect timing. He knows exactly the person that is right for me. Anything that I do to speed things up is both futile and foolish. Surrendering to God’s leading has brought me the greatest sense of peace.
I want you to know that I literally never comment on these sorts of things, so this is a first for me. I was just so moved by your story and felt compelled to tell you that God is truly reaching people through this ministry.
Thank you!
Hi Elizabeth!
So glad to hear that you’re sticking to God’s standards! Blessed to hear that what we shared ministered to you.
Thank you so much for this encouraging video. This is a testament to what God can do. I went through a lot of hurt in past relationships but eventually turned to God. I ended up not dating for a few years and waited for the right man of God and God sent him to me. I am going through the engagement process right now, and I know that God has great things in store for our marriage. It is so worth the wait!! May God continue to bless you and your husband through your ministry!!!
This is so awesome to hear, Annah! Thanks for sharing your story here.
Jolene, you are one strong lady and I love everything you have said about God’s word and how to apply it to my future. I’m dating currently and this has helped me tremendously to be a more respectful girlfriend. I look forward to more of your messages and thank you for being one of those older women.
Aww, thanks for sharing this with me, Jasmine. It blessed my heart. To God be the glory for I’m just a weak vessel and He is the one who is strong!
