What happens when God takes two broken stories and weaves them into something beautiful? In this deeply personal episode from July 2013, we share the raw, honest testimony of how the LORD brought our lives together in ways we never could have scripted.
​
She was a single mom in the thick of raising two teenagers—navigating the daily grind of work, parenting, and simply surviving. He was a divorced empty nester, starting over and wondering what God had next. Neither of us was looking for love. Both of us were learning to trust again.
​
But God had other plans.
After less than a year of marriage, we faced our first major leap of faith together: leaving everything familiar in California and moving halfway across the country to Texas. With our family's blessing and our church's prayers, we stepped into the unknown, believing God was writing a new chapter we couldn't yet see.
This isn't a fairy tale—it's a testimony. It's about second chances, blended families, and the courage to say yes when God calls you to something bigger than your fear. It's about discovering that sometimes the most beautiful stories begin with the words "I never thought..."
​
Join us as we look back on God's faithfulness, His perfect timing, and the way He transforms our most broken seasons into foundations for something new. This is our story—messy, miraculous, and marked by grace.
We pray it brings hope to yours.
