Our Love Story & The Importance of God's Timing in Relationships

- In this video my husband and I share our love story, how we met, and how the Lord brought us together. We also speak on the importance of the Lord's timing in relationships.
I was in a relationship for 2 1/2 years. Ended up getting engaged to be married. We were engaged for 6 months and our wedding was scheduled for January 2020. Half way through our engagement I heard the lord speak and tell me not to marry my fiancé, and that he wasn’t the one. Long story short, it was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make in my life, but I chose to be obedient to God and walk away. I am choosing to wait. I know what the Lord promised me and I know his timing is perfect. I know that obedience is better than sacrifice so I’m choosing to wait on God and to follow him. It hurts because I did love him, but I’d much rather be in the will of God.
He will bless obedience a lot
Wow! THAT is obedience! Praise God and that is so awesome that you have such a strong desire to honor the Lord!
Wow I know God will bless you with a man that will treat you like the queen you are! Your obedience is so inspiring. God bless you 🤍
@@RemiOmolosho thank you ❤️
Hi. Why do you think it was God's will that you don't marry him?
I'll be 40 by next week... single and never been married... but the holy Spirit is on this with me and I'll patiently wait
I'm 39 and still waiting. Thanks for the encouragement. 😇
Kamila, me too! :) 39 and waiting! I was told to wait for marriage when I was 26! When I was 32, I got tired of waiting and the Lord sent me to NYC (I went there to meet guys at a Christian singles event - but God had other plans) so that Pastor Jim Cymbala would change his sermon at the last minute and give a 17 minute message on waiting. If you go to the Brooklyn Tabernacle site and look for a sermon titled 'Wait' from May 2012, that's the word and warning that I received, that if I rush to get married (I met a guy that weekend), I would regret it the rest of my life. So God continues to send me encouragement that I need to keep waiting. I'm called to wait longer than others, but the Lord deserves my obedience! I love being the Lord's; there's nothing more amazing than being a follower of Christ. In this time of waiting, I have gotten closer to God more than I ever imagined and have been through more God ordained adventures than I ever expected to go through as a single woman. But where God guides, He provides. And what's interesting, when I want to stop thinking about marriage, it is actually the Lord who tells me to be ready and to make marriage a priority for myself. God has shown me that it is actually more important to Him than to me that I get married (which blows my mind). And He has reserved a certain guy just for me. If I wasn't shy and if I didn't receive a commandment to keep certain things to myself, I would share my journey on how the Holy Spirit continues to lead me to be a wife, even though I'm single. Through growing in Christ, God has taught me that my greatest reward is the Lord and the journey to Him is a gift from Him. In this long season (though it has flown very quickly!!) I have healed from many emotional wounds and have had many spiritual breakthroughs that will allow me to enter marriage as a very healthy individual. God is our ultimate goal, but one of God's goals for us is a successful and God ordained marriage. I don't know why He has designed for some of us to wait this long, but I also don't know why He has chosen to reveal Himself to many of us at a young age. All I know is that Jesus will never leave us and that we can trust Him and rest in Him.
Kamila B Wow me too
UTubeChickOnline Very encouraging!
Some people have spirit spouses and think it's God's will to wait for a long time. I beg to differ, sometimes it is not part of God's will to wait a long time. It's been hijacked by the enemy in some way. Please look into it. Sometimes it's even got to do with generational curses and covenants made by ancestors in the past that need to be repented for, renounced and broken. You need to put on the full armour of God and go into Spiritual warfare. Check Min. Kevin L.A. Ewing right here on TH-cam.
@@UTubeChickOnline 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Amen Sis! Yes, the season of waiting (singleness) is where you experience the most healing, growth, and spiritual maturity. It truly is a blessing.
"His will, his way." That was powerful
That same still, small voice whispered to me the first time me and a platonic coworker made a quick shopping run. As we were walking through the store, I heard plainly, “That’s who you’re gonna be with.” What??!! And I adamantly replied in my head, “No, I ain’t, either!” We’ll celebrate our 8th anniversary in two months. 🤣🤣 God is the ultimate, professional matchmaker!
Ebony Rivers I love this! I love your reply. But, God still did it..LolBe blessed!!
Ebony Rivers beautiful story
💜
were you both believers at the time of the grocery event?
😍❤❤
I’m 62 years old and I’m still waiting on God’s timing. Single since getting saved at 26 in 1987. I’m always amazed at these stories and I’m happy when people find each other! I know just how hard it is, and though I may not find that love, it’s a beautiful thing!

Love can come you never know, Cs Lewis married at 54 if I'm not mistaken
I'm 15 years old, but all I really want is to get married. But on God's time. I'm just praying for patience so when the time comes, he provides me a beautiful spouse who is God loving. God bless whoever is reading this
"Faith in God includes faith in His timing." - Neal A. Maxwell
Wow. This is crazy. This is what is happening in my life right now. I am 18 years old. I moved to a new town 7 hours away from my family. I started going to my church 8 months ago. The very first person I meet was B our church secretary. I started to get to know here and her husband. She had mentioned that they had a son a year older than me. 3 months later I was at youth group. This guy L came in and I got butterflies in my stomach and a beautiful sense of peace. Few months went by and would see him here and there. 2 weeks ago I was going to me moving. I was praying to God and asked him why I was here. And what He wanted with this guy L. I heard him audibly say. “ Sarah my daughter, I know your heart. Be patient. When you are both ready I will bless you two forever”. L doesn’t even no I have feeling towards him. It is so hard to not go over and talk to him about it. But God has a great timing. I just have to be patient
Year be patient . Not east BUT HE GIVES GRACE
Sarah McGhie wow that’s so amazing! ❤️
This made me cry..
Wow , amazing....am happy for you 😊
LOVE THIS!!! praying for patient, peace and grace ❤️
I am 26 years old. I met my fiancé right at this time last year on a mission work. It’s very interesting when you are not obsessed about or worried about finding a man, God some how provides the right one at the right time. We will be getting married next year!!!! Honestly, God’s timing is perfect. My fiancé is my greatest blessing, after the gift of knowing Jesus Christ my savior.
“If it isn’t God’s timing, it isn’t God.”
God’s timing and God’s will... so often we would mix these two tgt. Thank you so much for this video! The message reminds me of the situation I am in. Thank you again for this video. I am thankful that God used you two and the video to influence others!
That's very true. It's not a complete cut and dry answer. First example, King David was anointed to be the next king of Israel when he was 16, but he did not actually become king until he was 30. He had to spend 14 years running from King Saul who was trying to kill him.
@@Afluffycookie117 You can be anointed for something but you need to wait on your appointment.
@@mpholetsela7391 Correct, God's timing and God's will are two different things. My example with King David shows that when he got anointed the timing (for him to actually become king) was wrong but it was in God's will that he would become the king eventually. He just had to endure a 14 year trial running from King Saul
I'm a 35 year old Christian single and your testimony has blessed my heart very much. I pray that Jesus will continue to bless and keep you both in your God ordained marriage.
I’m a sucker for stories like these, specifically fundamentally founded on the Lord. I have felt the Lord speaking to me to dive further deeper into his word and continue to build the church I’m building now. But one of my biggest, top 3... maybe too 2 hearts desires is to be loved so intentionally and have that effortless connection, but God is directing to cultivate my relationship with him and continue to run towards Him. it’s a back and forth, struggle bc my heart yearns for that but to wait, just hurts. BUT with that may the Lord bless your marriage ❤️
God bless you
The same is with me..Trying go be closer to God while at the same time trying to save a broken relationship...It hurts because all I think is: not again, not a new start alone and insecurity in life, loneliness...God bless you
"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31
Good things come to those who wait. Be strong God got's you, also goes for me. !!! God is good.
I'm 18 years old, and I just started college. I'm the type of girl who loves love, the idea of love, wishing for love and praying for love. Y'alls story is so so so beautiful and encouraging and just absolutely filled with God's love. I literally teared up at the part when you both shared your scars and the hug; the way Dave described that was amazing. God bless you both forever.
Me toooo!
I'm 19 I feel like I've been waiting forever because I've never had a connection and one of my greatest heart desires is to marry early and get started on 10 kids
@@ibukun1607 ha me too
That is good to look up to loving your spouse one day, but there is a type of love, that is unconditional, strong and that fills you in a way, that human never will, and that is the love of God. The more you will seek to honour God and be a good servant in His eyes, the more you will be likeable to people and be ready to get married. I would encourage you to make the most of the time in singleness and establish your relationship with God.
@@ibukun1607 me too, I'm gonna be 18 soon and I also desire to be married at 25 and get kids! I love motherhood . And I have huge desire to see my family , my husband working together for God's kingdom and shaking the foundations of hell with prayers ! See God working in my kids life through me , pouring my all love on them .
This gave me Hope after a heart break from from separation, years of custody battle with a narcissist. This encouraged me recommit my relationship with God and to wait on his timing... He's already blessed me by giving me my kids back and to be a able to provide for them. 😊
The way that he looks at her warms my heart! ❤️ Beautiful couple! God bless!
...was just thinking about the way they look at each other.
I don't know why I'm so anointed by god and highly favor but I wanted to let someone know that I love God very very much
You both are the first people to perfectly put into words what I have gone through the past month, I met my fiance on 7/16 and we are getting married on 12/13. To have the experience of God's choice and someone loving you through God's eye is so amazing. I pray that everyone will have a chance to experience it.
God's timing is always the best timing.... Well i am waiting for my partner i know its not the time yet
" highway of green lights"- that is a great way to put it. When we walk in Gods Will this is the feeling. When its not Gods Will you will feel like you are walking up and escalator that is going down.
I broke up with my boyfriend 4 mother's ago because God told us we were not prepared... Wether he is the one or he is not, this just encouraged me to really believe that he is preparing me for what is yet to come.
Y’all don’t know the hope and direction you’re giving to so many folks looking for the Lord’s leading on relationships. Thanks for sharing your story!
So happy I found this, I’ve spent afternoon upset , I met a man a Muslim man separated with two kids living in my country in Europe. We met after talking for a month and I’ve been alone since Jesus saved me from occult two years ago. I’ve been praying for a husband as I’m almost 40 now and I got a bit swept up by this man but I just know it’s not from God and it’s really me following my own will. I respect his faith however I know in my heart it would be so difficult and God wants me to wait for him to lead me . It’s so hard it really is , my trust is in Jesus
The embrace, in which you described, is something very similar to what I experienced. There was also a turbulent waiting period that required trusting God. I knew, from the moment, she held my hand, in the manner in which she did, that she was me Eve. Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh. When we hugged for the first time, there was something absolutely transcending. My wife and I have a spiritual connection, a love from God, that is breathtaking. Our story is unconventional, and in that place, you will find our Heavenly Father. Thank you for sharing your story.
Lucky you!
@@1973onigiri Blessed...for sure. Thank you.
Have you considered sharing your story on TH-cam? That'd be amazing
John Morin AMEN. GLORY BE TO GOD 🔥🔥🔥🔥 GOD continue to bless you and your wife alll the more 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
If its not Gods timing.. Its not God... 🙌.. You guys look too good together😍😳
Tolulope Ogundari they really do! They look so happy 😩❤️
Single for 9 yrs.. i have this deep faith that i am gonna end up with an amazing partner.. just trusting god’s timing.he is protecting me !
Wow. At first, I thought he is the lucky one because she is super cute. By the end, I thought, wow she is lucky because he is just awesome. Thanks for this. That was a wonderful, encouraging story and testimony to the incredible path God has for us if we follow Him.
You guys are hilarious 😂 the part about you running away from him lol
haha
Hahaha
Its true LOL im the same 😂 I know who he is and when I get around him I get the unction from the Holy Spirit to walk away hahaha The Holy Spirit is like “you can say hi and a give a small friendly hug but thats it. Walk away” hahaha
I for sure needed to hear this today. The Lord called me to singleness and I THINK it was Him that specifically told me “8 months, Kelsey.” It’s been about 4 months in my season of singleness and I’ve been running toward the Lord and really doing my best to focus on Him and lean on Him. Last weekend, I was talking to somebody I knew of but don’t truly know and I heard the Lord say, “this is your husband.” I was like whooaaaa what? I actually had to walk away for like 10 min to process what I heard. I KNOW that I can’t pursue this person and to be honest, I don’t even know his last name or if this person even has a relationship with God. Sooo I’m waiting on God’s timing and I know He will bring us together if that’s truly His will for me. I feel like God is still teaching me how to lean on Him and trust Him, but I thought it was pretty cool to see a glimpse of who my future husband may be. Also, realizing that up until God said “this is your husband” that every single interaction we had, was great and I for sure had been physically attracted to him. God is good and I’m waiting on Him!! Also, this is the first time that I’m not pursuing a worldly relationship and only pursuing my relationship with God!!! Thanks for sharing your story. Keeps giving me faith! 🙌🏼✝️
That is so amazing Kelsey! Thank you for sharing. When we allow God to write our love story He exceeds so many expectations we can have. God bless!
I screamed when I saw the first three lines but I wanna hear your story when it gets to just think altar and after😃😃
Reminds me we all hear God in our own personal way
hey girl! this is beautiful- how do you know if its God's voice vs our own thoughts?
The Lord told me six months and I am not two months into being celibate and happy. Best part of being pure is I am growing deeply in His love and I am grateful for what he is doing in my life.
kimberly m his sheep know his voice. And God will give revelation in bible verse. For me I heard the Lord voice all the times because I have a Relationship with God, and everything He told me comes to pass.
“I had known everything that love wasn’t.” WOW !
Rewarded for obedience. What a beautiful love story but also a story about the faithfulness of God. May you be blessed and kept together forever you two ♥️
Thank you 🙏🏼 😊
For which obedience were they rewarded again? The part where she had sex before marriage and he was watching pornography while they were engaged? It is utterly confounding to me how some people can commit such sins and be rewarded with a beautiful, Christian spouse at a young age while others, by God's grace, resist such sinfulness but remain alone well for years. Try being 37 and never having anyone while still remaining a virgin because, by God's grace, you desire to honor Him.
Please don't misunderstand me. I am not casting the first stone; I am well aware of my own sinfulness and need for Christ's saving sacrifice. Nor am I in any position to question how and why God bestows the blessing of marriage on some but not on others. But ya ... it feels completely absurd. Then again .... the truth is that the only thing we "deserve" is death for sin. And by God's grace, we are saved from getting what we deserve. So I suppose it is foolish to feel as though one "deserves" anything, especially a spouse. Forgive me for writing this. I am not trying to denigrate you both.
Arcanon10 We appreciate your openness regarding your feelings. We pray that the Father’s love reaches into the deepest parts of your heart and washes away the pain you’ve experienced/ may be experiencing. We don’t pretend to know every aspect of the Father’s will but we do believe that when we come into relationship with Jesus, He “will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Hebrews 8:12
@@TheMendrygals Forgive me for writing as I did. I was not meaning to suggest that past sins should disqualify future blessings. Such a view is legalistic at best and flies in the face of God's abundant and amazing grace. And if such a thing were true than no one would receive any blessings, least of all myself. So again, I apologize.
Arcanon10 No worries! Our goal is to hear people’s heart and seek to understand. It’s so easy in our society to be so quickly offended but as the body of Christ we are called to love and be unified in Jesus. Not saying it’s always easy but it’s possible with the Lords help! God bless you! 🙂
That comment about "just because God's said that this is in your future, doesn't mean that now is the right time to reach out and take it" ... that's a gut-punch to me. Because that's exactly what happened to me, and it ruined my life. Shattered my peace. Broke my heart. God is still good. He still provides sweet comfort. But there's still definitely more pain than joy these days. These years. And I'm still largely living in a wasteland with no visible hope or future in my life. Wandering around in circles, no idea what to do next.
At the same time, it does actually help, too. Because now at least I can see the reason (or some of the reason) why I ended up here, what made it all come unglued. So thank you for that. And knowing what happened last time is halfway to knowing how to make sure it never happens again, so thanks for that too. Thanks. Thanks.
I can 💯 relate to this
My wife and I have been married for over 47 years. Your four month relationship was kind of like ours only we did it in about 18 months. So many things you said resonated in our relationship. We have been reminiscing about our dating, engagement and marriage and couldn’t agree with you more. We are experiencing health issues right now but like I said over 47 years ago “in sickness and in health“. God bless you both and if after 47 years together, I wish and pray that your marriage is God honoring and wonderful like ours. I love the video.
From watching this video and reading some of the comments, it really goes to show that His sheep know His voice (John 10:27). There's no mistaking his voice. Of course, we should always test the spirits (1 John 4:1) and seek biblical counsel (Proverbs 1:5).
I, too have heard the Spirit say certain things to me, making certain promises. It hasn't come to fruition yet. However, one thing I have learned is how discouraging it can be when what God has said contradicts our life circumstances. And if I can encourage anyone who has heard the voice of the Spirit and received sound, biblical confirmations - yet, your circumstances contradict what the Spirit has told you - trust God anyway. He does not lie or break His promises (Numbers 23:19). Trust Him anyway. He knows what He's doing. If His promise hasn't come through yet and you're worried and fretting about it - don't. If it really is God's will, it will happen in His timing and in His way. And if it's not His will, it's not and that's okay too. Either way, trust Him. It is so much easier to surrender these things to God than to worry about things you can't control. If you get nothing else out of this post at least get this: Trust in Him. He's got this. Trust Him.
Wow thanks a lot! I’m in a situation exactly what you describe. In my heart I know feel it from God but when I try to reason out in my mind its not possible we’re from different culture, different age group, we live in different provinces,,,, it goes on, so i just wanna dismiss it but In my heart I cant
I literally wanted to just cry...and give up on waiting on God's plan and just make my own plan even though I know I will eventually get hurt and ask God to help me out of it. Or when I think who am I for God to bless me like that.... It feels like I need encouragement every day and today your comment has gave me exactly what I needed.
oh my goodness. His pickup line was sooo funny. "I'm sure I'll see you again." then he was out! hahaha
This video has been in my recommended list for quite some time and I've been avoiding it....low and behold it is exactly what I need to hear 😬
Thank you for sharing! 😊
Mine too. I first watch just a few minutes then stopped, now it has been in recommendation list, i just gave in and watch.
Girl same
Lexie02 Jones me too! And sooo glad I finally watched the rest of it. Was just what I needed to hear in this season
Mine too..haha..just watched it today and I was in tears.
Ditto. I've been avoiding it like it's coronavirus. 😂 When I finally clicked on it, I planned to "listen" to it while multi-tasking, but a message popped up where the play button is that said, "This cannot be played in the background." Refresh. Still there. Refresh again. Still there. When I mentally decided to focus all my attention on it, the play button reappeared. God is all over this testimony! So I will try to listen to it for real. 36 minutes is too LONG for my natural attention span. Pray for me. 😆
I’ve been praying for someone who I can serve the Lord with for the rest of my life for such looong time. And, God’s timing is perfect.
For some reasons this video appeared on my timeline. And I subscribed that quick ☺️☺️☺️
Thanks for the testimony ❤️❤️❤️
Hi❤️
Aaaaawe! You guys made me cry!! 😭 Your love for the Lord and Jesus is so beautiful! I'm already 40 and after almost dying during my explant surgery in March, I connected more to God than before. He gave me my life back! 🙌🏽 The past months have been wonderful and slowly but surely I was saying goodbye to my old life and habits. On the 22nd of September I will be baptized, because I finally feel ready for it. In this season of singleness God is enough. I'm already 40 years old, but my deepest hope is to be married one day and have a child with my husband. I don't know if that will ever happen, but like you guys said: I'm trusting God's timing. Thank you for this video!! It gave me hope again! Big hug from the Netherlands!! ❤
This is so beautiful, thank you for sharing! We are so glad you’re okay and growing in the Lord! Big hugs back from the US! 🤗♥️♥️
Think about how blessed their kids will be to have parents who are so focused on God! 😩 They will have such good role models to watch❤️
you guys make such a cute couple. the way you look at each other tho!!!! sweet. God bless your home
Thank you, thank you! ☺️
Omg my heart i accidentally click on this video I was supposed to be looking at how to take pictures by myself. I’m literally thankful for you both for sharing this it is all about his timing and him writing the story
WOW. WOW. WOW😱😱😱😱... I AM JUST..... OVERWHELMED RIGHT NOW😱😭🙌😮🙏😱😮😭😭😭😕.....MY JAW LITERALLY DROPPED IN DISBELIEF BECAUSE OF HOW THE LORD IS SPEAKING TO ME SOOOOO VIVIDLY THROUGH YOU ALL'S TESTIMONY. I mean, EXACT SITUATIONS,EVEN! Ex: 👉 I got the "Plan-your-wedding-while-you're-still-single" word also!! -->which is what made my jaw drop, lmbo....because i'm already sitting through this whole video, thinking to God, like, "Man, God, if you can't get any more CLEAR than that that you are WITH ME in this CRAZY season of waiting on your timing and trusting u no matter what"...THEN you say YOU got that SAME "plan ur wedding" word from the Lord? ..like WHAT!?! 😮😱 #NoWAY 😱😱 ....girl, im SO glad to know I'm not crazy and confused! haha
(Sn:sorry for going on&on, but i have to. I just can't believe it...)
... I'M LITERALLY RIGHT *SMACK* IN THE MIDDLE OF MY STORY, AND IT HAS REALLY BEEN SOMETHING, to say the least lol.. It's been CHALLENGING, confusing at times (becuz i wanted things to go the way *I* thought they should😕🙈👀), definitely a learning experience, eye-opening, and SO much more. I'm learning the faithfulness of God and just how much BETTER it if to just wait on HIS timing!! There have also been many things that have stretched me &helped to grow in my relationship with Jesus while in the waiting. IT HASN'T BEEN EASY, BUT I AM LEARNING SO MUCH. It's becoming more and more rewaring as time passes & as the Lord gives me more wisdom and insight and confirmations on His will concerning the whole thing. I'm now less than a year away from joining the married clan, (the Lord was so kind as to even give me the exact month i need to know to be prepared by🙏💕😭) ...it's coming soon...so i SOOO SERIOUSLY needed this encouragement because my story also is very unconventional like you all's. I've known for several years that the engagement timing is going to be SHORT AND SWIFT when the season came for God to bring my FH and me together, so God's been preparing me. I'm much like your husband, where I WANT to move at it NOW because the person God has for me is right within reach, but God's like, "Nope. Not yet. I GOT this." lol ...AND GOD's TIMING IS CRUCIAL, which i've learned in a whole new way this season.
((I'm taking up too much space in this good ol' comments section, sooo, i'ma stop ....after this next paragraph...😂😂)
...but jokes aside, honestly, you guys, i can't express how SOOOOO UNBELIEVABLY ENCOURAGING THIS TESTIMONY IS TO ME @THIS VERY MOMENT--YOUR STORY IS SO SIMILAR TO WHAT MY LIFE LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW,....(no wonder God led me to watch this🙌..). HE WANTED TO REMIND ME THAT I MOST CERTAIN CAN TRUST HIS EVERY MOVE IN THIS SEASON...MAN.... I COULD CRY!!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU GUYS AND THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR STORY!!🙏😭
I WISH I COULD PUT TO WORDS HOW MUCH THIS HAS HELPED ME. THANK YOU GUYS, AND THANK GOD! 🙌🙏
BLESS YOU BOTH!
The last time I dated someone was in high school. I've been waiting on God since 2014 now... I'm still waiting... Thank you for your encouragement guys!
This is incredibly amazing and encouraging. "His way that accompanies His will" - I will definitely keep this in my heart as I wait upon my future husband.
So encouraged by your testimonies.I am a sister from China and I am waiting to meet someone who loves God.
Hello!!! That was absolitelly a blessing to me, thanks for sharing!
My story goes like this: I became born again Christian in 25 July 2017 and single since then.I had really one of the best jobs in my town when the Lord showed me that I have to quit and go and work on a ship and I did so. I worked on two ships and spoke with many many people about God but interesting part was that I met this guy with the most beautiful eyes ever seen and I notice it because every time I look at him he was already looking at me and at this time I was really very low in my self esteem thinking it is not possible guy like him to like me. So I went out of the ship and prayed about him and I opened my bible randomly just to spent time with God and I start to read this verse of song of solomn which says I finally found the one my soul love so imagine my shock of it and before I continue a woman stop by and ask me jf I read the bible I said yes and she invited me to a worship service that they make on a ship one per year, unfortunately it was later this evening and I had to be at work but it was for me a 100% confirmation that the Lord is speaking to me. I kept praying and one day while I was at work and see him I hear this voice on my right side this is the man you're going to marry and very very worm and surprising feeling goes on my body I start to even laugh because I would never say this to myself I was very low self esteem thinking is no chance somebody to like me the way I was. I finally found his profile on social media saying on his cover " I belong to Jesus" so I kept praying and same time it was exactly as u said I felt I locked eyes with him and then this urge to run away because I was not ready. The very last evening before I go home and finisb the season I ask him for a moment outside of the restaurant where we were with the crew and I have this urge to ask him for his necklace, he said it was a Cross and he share with me he has near death experience and hear Jesus told him not time for him yet so he came back to. Life and he said he was a beliver. The thing is he had girlfired who cheated on him many times and he was totally heart broken and I couldn't understand how is possible this to be my husband and he is not single but your story helpa me a lot. Now we do not have any contacts we finish the job and the only way we meet will be in God's timing. Later when I go home I felt I want to check this restaurant it was in Germany and I di not speak German and imagine my surprise when I saw the name of the restaurant was " The holy spirit"... God is so great and it ks the best when he write our love stories and to be honest I will wait all my life for this guy if God said it is him
I believed that, it is not a coincidence that i saw your video on my youtube wall and clicked it.. So many encouraging message! ❤️❤️❤️ And i think, some of the situation and sharings, is the answer to my doubt...the current situation i am in. God is good! 😢😢😢 Thank you for sharing your story and testimony guys! ☺️
Thank you so much for sharing this, it has blessed me immensely. My boyfriend and I have broken up because God had called us to seek him and work on ourselves in this time. He’s calling us to wait, and hasn’t said whether he has a future for us as husband and wife. Your willingness to wait and seek the Lord had encouraged me so much. I believe the Lord has told me that he will be my husband, but I will be patient in waiting on the Lord, walking in His way and timing. God bless you guys and your beautiful marriage ❤️
Claudia Blair I’m going thru this now. Hope things worked out for you
I'm going thru the same
Trials will come. Keep your mind set on things ABOVE. God bless.
I love that, “His will is accompanied by His way.” 🙌🏾
I'm in my 40s. Wish God sent his timing to me soon and manifest the w guy for me!
I am 59 and God finally answered my Prayers...9 years solo and the Deep Love of my Life just showed up. God is so Amazing
This is goals 🙏 I met the one she instantly activated the King In me ... yeah from that moment on I knew. Ever since I’ve followed my lord harder then ever I’ve prayed n prayed n now I just wanna honor god more then ever I’m willing to wait on my Queen. She everything plus more God willing 🙏😭 u guys are beautiful truly motivating.
I'm 38 and 8 years single, 5 years a Christian. I'm happy and can't imagine to be with someone... But I love watching happy God couple video testimonials :)).
I admire the intimacy you both share with each other. I love seeing Godly relationships like this. I'm 32 and I'm finally learning to surrender my love life to God and really trust that He will never go back on His word but they will prosper wherever He sends it. Thank you for encouraging me. 🙂 I've always said to myself that my wedding wouldn't take long either. If God confirms it, why delay? 😍
Thank you for sharing! I’m believing God for my future husband and He’s given me so many dreams of him & I know he’s on his way & I completely trust the Lord’s timing even when it’s hard to wait! This was so encouraging & great reminder that God’s timing is PERFECT!
All the best
Your picture looks very beautiful
@@russelllevers9513 ask her for her nbr
I can’t explain how timely this is. Wow. Thank you Jesus for using TH-cam to speak to me and my heart. This is everything I needed to hear. The wait. The promise and a wait. Thinking you heard God, having confirmation and then a wait. I’ve been questioning if the wait is worth it and if I even heard him and I have a peace again and a hope. Thank you so much!
I’m 33 and have been single for 8 years. I’ve been waiting on the Lord and praying that he might bring me a godly man whom I can partner with in bringing glory to Jesus through marriage. A few months ago, I was going through a season of struggle with this and decided to lay it all back down at the cross because carrying it myself was too painful for me. After surrendering it back to God, I lay in his presence and rested, during which I think I heard him tell me that I am going to marry one of my friends that I have been interested in in the past but not really at that time. I started shivering and shaking, my heart started beating really hard and my stomach started to feel really weird. I barely slept that night. I’ve been asking God ever since for confirmation that it was his voice or not, but haven’t really heard anything else yet. Meanwhile, I’ve started to have feelings for my friend again but from what I can tell, he is not interested in me in that way at all. The waiting is so hard...I just want to know one way or the other, even if it was to turn out it wasn’t God that I heard, so that I can take steps to move on. Do you have any advice for me in this situation?
Yes I do!! (This is Brittani) could you DM me on Instagram so we can have a conversation? Thank you for sharing and for your openness!
@@TheMendrygals hi I have a similar situation could I message you
Hi ! How is it going since then ??
How did it go?
Finally a born again couple!!!
I've been looking for this.
"There is His will that accompanies His way!" I needed to hear that!! God bless you both and your future together!
The love between you two is so palpable! Thank you for sharing this beautiful & powerful testimony. I'm 31 & still waiting for the person GOD has for me. I know that the wait will be worth it.
Wow. Such a beautiful story. It's like it's disguised as a "love story" but really is just a "trusting God story". I am so happy for you guys!❤
What an amazing story. What I am really interesting is how you handle that 1.5 years of knowing who your wife is, but not seeing it unfold. Like you heard from God, but then realised she was in a relationship. What goes on in your head? Did you doubt the voice? Did you completely ignore other girls? Did you pray about answers and did you get any? I know God has a plan for us all, and His timing is always on point, but it's quite the confusion to live in when you're still waiting. I want to know how you experienced that
I also am curious about this because people often think they've heard God on this, waited for years and nothing came of it. I've been on both sides of this and have experienced how devastating it can be to your faith. I am also currently in this type of situation again, where the Lord has recently shown me lots of things about a guy in a similar ministry to mine. I also get the sense he has feelings for me (too many reasons to go into) but he's dating someone else for over a year now. I don't want to waste my time waiting around again if he's not the one for me but keep getting the sense that he is. It's really tough and confusing!
Still my most favorite God love story on TH-cam. I watch other love stories but I keep coming back here again and again 🙏🏾🙏🏾
God bless you Lydia!
This is such a beautiful love story.... Gods timing is everything
Im watching this while getting ready for school and that was a mistake...I’m bawling! Beautiful love story and beautiful hearts. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. I think it's hard to trust and let everything go to the Lords will. Your love story is a perfect example of just surrendering your love life to the one that knows us better than we know ourselfs. I really needed to hear this. As he is calling me to have patience. I believe I know who my person is, I just think God is trying to teach me patience with this. This video just proves to me if it's God's will and in his plan he will come back to me. I just need to surrender my self completely to him and i will feel his presence the same way I felt it when the relationship started and even in the break up. (As weird as it may sound. I felt God's hand in it in every part of the relationship the way I haven't felt with anyone before.)
I had an experience where I was sitting with friends joking around and out of left field this overwhelming joy and sense of breath-taking awe fell over me, and I look to my left and theres a woman that literally fits the textbook definition of what I would call the perfect woman. I had this instantaneous thought of "omg that's her."
I really dont think the timing was ever right and I tried to talk to her but it was always never right. It was crazy because almost every time I saw her I could feel her in my bones. It was in the weirdest way.
Anyway, fast forward, I have no idea if this person really is the one because she moved to Michigan or one of those northern "m" states and I haven't seen her since.
Please pray for me because I really need to know God's will and that this isn't just my own. I would rather not continue going on dates and getting in relationships if I keep getting this sense of "I'm settling." Send those prayers up yall. And thank you so much for this video, it confirms the beauty and unfailing love Jesus has for those that live Him.
We are praying for you right now!!
Ohh give us an update
@@esterf7064 so nothing so far Haha. But I've been making diligent prayers to God for a spouse.
I almost sent a massive letter to her but my friend talked some sense into me. It was definitely good to have my thoughts written down. Definitely eased some inner disturbances around it all.
Keep praying for me!😍😊
Patrick Hohenshilt I’ll keep you in my prayers. It’ll be amazing to read God’s faithfulness.
Five months ago I got a prophecy that one of my guy friends loves me but he is too shy to say it, he is a good man, he will be my next partner and he is even thinking about marriage. I laughed because 90% of my friends are males and I am still single for almost 2 year, it been one disappointment to another. I was still struggling with my faith and 2months ago I wanted my relationship with God to get better gave up on the idea of dating while praying for my future spouse. 3 weeks ago one of my friends told him he loves me, he is still talking to someone else but I know my God is not a man to lie, he will do what he say he will do. Pray for me
Any update?
I thought I would finally fall in love in college.
Seven years and a term went by. Nope.
My longest lasting prayer that I talk to God about often is that. To love a girl and get loved back will be more than incredible! When God has us meet, no matter how BADLY I want to date a girl as a 26 year old, never experienced romance in any way, shape or form guy, ...seriously will be greater than the times prior I thought she would be it. At the least I pray for a new lady friend to love as a friend.
This man should be pastor,he's full of words of wisdom,knowledge..the lady is so graceful,mature,wise..they have different personalities but they gel so perfectly..new subscriber
Love this so much! God is so good and works in miraculous ways.
"on a high way of green lights". Thank you for sharing your beautiful story
I really needed this, thank you for sharing!!
I've recently come to the Lord and I had walked into a church about a year ago and there was one guy on stage singing worship and he just caught my attention.. I ended up never meeting him, or talking to anyone that day at church and didn't go back till the first Sunday of this year. He was up there singing again and the same feeling came to me. I ended up meeting some of the other young adults at the church and actually started talking to this guy for a while and it was great, I loved it. But it was clear that it was a friendship, nothing more. A few month later a few people (including this guy and I) went on a weekend adventure stayed in cabins and did some hiking and it was awesome. But I have asthma, so I can have difficulty with hiking mountains and need to rest every so often. This guy was sick at the time so he also wasn't moving very fast so we were the two trailing people of the group... And I really enjoyed it, actually. I started really developing feelings for him and it's been over 8 months since I first talked to him and there have been so many times when the group has done outings or just hung out or at bible studies and what not and in my head I'm like "Ooo, maybe he'll finally ask me out" and he never did. So I started thinking, maybe I should ask him out.. and every time I want to ask him out, I end up backing out and just not asking him, now realizing it's the Holy Spirit telling me to wait so I can grow closer to God before a person.
And just the other day I had a breakdown and went to one of the pastors we talked and prayed and it's like all the pieces are starting to fall into place because I was thinking about some things, went to youtube and this video was in my recommendations. I saw it and was like "nah" and clicked on a different video and then quickly went back and clicked on this vide because I felt the Holy Spirit telling me to watch this. And it has opened my eyes up so much and I can't begin to thank you for posting this video! So thank you.
Suddenly this video just popped out, and God knows I needed to hear this. Thank you for obeying God and sharing your story. It is very encouraging!
Your Love story was amazing, thanks for sharing it. You guys sought the Lord earnestly and waited and he rewarded you both extravagantly!
Brittani your hair is amazing! :) Such encouraging words, thanks a ton!!!
edit: that park story, oh my goodness SO INCREDIBLE! Hallelujah!
Beautiful! U gave me hope to keep waiting on the Lord to write my love story♥️
I love you guys! Thx for sharing your story, God really speaks very loudly to me through this. Putting down my pen and let Him be author of my life. Do not rush but wait patiently. Surrendering and have intimacy with the Lord. Thanks again for showing me how love is when we wait!
This is so beautiful and encouraging! God is so good and perfect in every way. His timing and will is greater than anything we can imagine! 💗✨☺️
wow I’m in tears, how sweet. God is so good and his timing is always perfect... i really needed to hear this 💛
amen ! Praise God for your testimony ! What a Mighty God we serve !!!
Thank you for sharing! I REALLY needed to hear this.
God bless you both.🙏🏼🕊
I literally just got through praying for the guy I believe God brought into my life when this video popped up on my feed.
Loved hearing ya'lls testimony! Ya'll are definitely a dynamic duo and I pray continued influence in His kingdom through you both! May your future children be amazing warriors full of the same fervor for our God! Bless you both!
oh my goodness...tears welling up in my eyes 💙✨ thank you for sharing.
I can’t say thank you enough for posting this video and sharing. This is just so relevant to my situation and I am just so grateful that you both were willing to share your story and how God’s timing paired with His will was key in the writing of it. I am literally in tears especially with what David said about stepping into that deep level of passion and intimacy with Jesus in the same way he was pursuing his desired outcome for your situation. I have actually have felt that the Lord has already told me who I am supposed to marry but I’ve seen some things that come up as issues with where he stands on a couple of the important things even though we agree on just about everything that’s important. And for me it basically just seems like I’m not quite ready for it yet/it may not be the right time. I would say and the Lord has been really speaking to me about letting Him be in control. What you were describing is exactly how I felt with needing to drop the pen. In situations even leading up to this I have been trying to jump the gun when it came to the things the Lord would show me or speak to me about. Thank you both again so much for this video I am truly so grateful to the Lord that you followed Him with you story and in posting about your testimony. I see that this is an old video but if either of you were to have any wisdom regarding my specific situation (as me and this person have been in constant contact for a good while) I would so greatly appreciate anything you would have to say about it! Much love and many more blessings to you both! ❤️
Thank you. This is perfect timing for me. Thank you Jesus....
I love this video. There have been several things in this video
•be patient
•trust gods timing
•put down the pen and let god write our story
Thanks for sharing. I’ve subscribed and looking forward to more great videos. Dave do you have a channel or do you post on Brittany’s?
The channel started out as just me but we changed it to both of us which is why our channel is called “The Mendrygals”. This is our channel together.
So very true! I had just gotten out of a relationship with a man I had known for a while was my husband. We’ve had plenty of confirmation including a church prophet who God allowed to speak to us through. This was the second time we had rushed out ahead of God’s timing and sadly it failed. I still have faith in us however I am just now realizing the importance of Gods timing. Praying for blessings to you both! And Dave, I can relate to God telling me with His still, small voice who I am to marry. Thank you for the encouragement!
😭😭😭❤❤❤ so beautiful thank you for making this video and just encouraging the singles and to know that God is faithful
Wooowww thank you Lord that this video popped up in my recommended!! Earlier this year I had to heal from walking away from someone who wasn't right for me, and I made the decision to seek God and stay single because I'm still growing in my relationship with Him and learning to hear His voice. I used to be so obsessed with the idea of finding a boyfriend or my future husband, but God keeps encouraging me to wait for the person He has for me and I feel so much more peace and confidence in that. Even in the past month there've been several men showing interest in me and it feels like I'm being bombarded with distractions but I'm learning to keep my eyes fixed on God. Thank you so much for this!! His timing is perfect.
This was definitely something I needed to hear ❤️especially when you said that just because God gave you vision doesn’t mean you need to pursue it immediately. He will provide the right timing!!
This was very encouraging, thank you! To see how God blessed y’all through your obedience is truly encouraging. I have been single for almost a year now and it has been hard to wait, especially since I have that great desire to be a wife. This was a great reminder that we never know how God will move and that our waiting produces perseverance and is not for nothing when we press into Him! And that when He releases that blessing, it is better than anything we could have ever imagined!
I literally love to watch your videos. God talks to me through you guys! He reminds me that He is in control of my life despite of what I see with my human eyes. Thank you for sharing all this with us!
I found this video randomly & this was what I needed to hear today!
Let me just say that I'm heavily in a season of being in awe of God's timing in this area of my life. I'm so thankful you guys shared this. Thank you!!
This video was incredible! I was scrolling in my feed when this popped up. First I was so surprised to hear that you guys are from Tucson too! Secondly, I was completely in awe of your testimony, and I really believe that I needed to hear this. I’ve been courting a guy from my church for the past few months, but I’m not entirely sure if he is the one the Lord is calling me to marry. However, I’m really going to seek the Lord and trust that in His timing that He will reveal if it is a yes or no. Thank you so much for this video 💕
Amen! Loved hear this!! Needed this encouragement! Thank you and may God continue to bless your marriage!
I absolutely love this. God keeps guiding me to these videos and tonight it was yours. There is someone that God is guiding my heart to and he has been so obvious with it and he showed me this video to remind me it's not my time, it's not when I want it to happen(right now) it's his. And his way is going to be so much better, and perfect.
