Our Story
A Steady Love
I look at you and think—
you must be the definition of love;
no one else could ever come close.
Constant reassurance in times of doubt,
a gentle apology when you fall short—
you're a place where love so steadily grows.

You must be an artist,
for the way you brought color to my otherwise monochromatic life.
You must be a gift,
carefully wrapped in grace, delicately held by God Himself.

Answered Prayer
You are Jehovah’s answer to my earnest supplication—
proof that good things come to those who wait,
to those who stay rooted in Godly devotion.
Meeting you gave my life direction.
I’ll choose you again and again—
without hesitation.
Our Story
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
- 1 Corinthians 13:13
