one year of knowing him

Little did I know 1 year ago today, that my life was about to change. I got ready for church that Sunday morning and headed out on my own. I'd been attending a new church for 3 months in the city. Stepping out of my comfort zone each week. This day was the same as each Sunday prior (or so I thought)...
 
Standing at the door was a man I hadn't met yet, but this happened every week. I was constantly meeting new people. He introduced himself to me and asked if I wanted to sit with him and his friend. So I said "sure". We talked more after the service ended. He was quite talkative, friendly and very outgoing. We laugh now about this day. After talking quite a bit about the young professionals group he was involved with he asked for my number, he wanted to try to set up an event with Wegmans. I wouldn't give him my number - that's why we laugh. I gave him my email address instead. He used it to try to find me on facebook, but never once actually emailed me. Yes, we laugh a lot.
 
So today we'll celebrate a special day.
 
I still remember seeing him, leaning up against the door frame leading into the sanctuary. I still remember what I was wearing. I still remember it being the first Sunday in 3 months that I actually wanted to join the group after service to hang out. And I still remember getting home from church that day and saying to my mom "I think I met someone today".

God had finally brought us together.
