I'm new to the board, and I thought I'd share my story really fast!
Well, my name is Katie and I've had my share of relationships in the past. Some good, some bad, none "the one". Three years ago, I gave my life to Christ, and with that I gave all of my heart. I decided I would never date again, but I felt the wise way to guard and take care of my heart would be to participate in the act of courtship. I believe in only dating someone I have interest in marrying, and only marrying someone I have put a lot of prayer into.
Well, in short, 5 months ago I met Travis on Facebook through quite a few mutual friends. He is a wonderful, blue-eyed Canadian gentleman with a heart sold out for Christ, and a life calling of reaching out to the sick, poor, and widowed. We've steadily spoken to each other through phone calls, Skype, text messages, and Facebook. Over the months we began to develop significant feelings for one another, and began praying about the idea of beginning a courtship after we meet face to face. A few weeks ago, after many hours of prayer over the process of 5 months, he confessed to me that he believes that I could be the one God has for him. He tells me I'm everything he wants in a woman, and he truly believes he could spend the rest of his life with me and be fully happy. We've both concluded that we feel marriage is in our future some time.
Of course, the final decision won't be made until after many meetings, and time spent together.
Currently, he's planning his first trip down to see me and attend my church, which is the original reason we met. He used to download my churches podcasts and loves my pastors sermons.
My obstacle? The entire United States of America rests between the man I truly believe I will marry one day, and myself. I'm a good ole Texas girl, and he's a nature loving Canadian boy. Haha, I guess you could say this is all a little crazy. But, I've always enjoyed living my life on the edge, and having adventures! I feel like I've finally found my love story. =]
Nice to meet you all.
