There’s a new development in my life. Actually, it’s not new, but it’s new to most of you. This development has been in process and discussed for sometime….since last June. Now that reality is actually here and things are progressing, I can’t not say anything about one of the most amazing blessings in my life.
His name is Felix. No, not the Cat, but an African man. I met him last year when I was in Zimbabwe. We hit it off right away. He introduced himself to me as my prince charming. My response was “according to who.” He fired back at me, “according to you in a few seconds,” 
and that was that. The beginning and end of it all. We became great friends. We did ministry together. We went deep with God, talking about what we were learning and what God was teaching us. We got to know each other as much as we could in a short period of time.
Leaving this Country after only two weeks (the shortest time spent in any Country) was difficult. It would have been very easy for me to stay…but i didn’t. I knew I needed to finish what God was requiring of me. I also left firmly knowing and believing that it would not be my first and last time here to Zim, but that I would be back to this place that feels like home…
Over the last 8 months, we kept in touch as often as we could, trusting God and each other during the months we couldn’t talk (anyone who’s been to Africa knows how difficult internet is and how bad the connections can be). He got to know my parents. Things progressed. Feelings grew deeper and began to be confirmed by God in numerous ways…
Today, I find myself back in Zimbabwe, with a man I have grown to love in more ways than I would have ever imagined. Things are not always easy, yet I am happy, and blessed and exactly where God intends me to be. God is present and in the midst of it all, directing our steps.
I am excited to let you know about this because he’s not just any guy. He’s the man I am GETTING MARRIED to. 
He’s my best friend and someone that challenges me to become a better person. He inspires me and draws me closer to God. He gets me to think in ways I never thought possible. He’s not afraid to speak his mind or put me in my place (which is appreciated and needed, as you all know by now that I am a very strong willed person). He is a man after God’s own heart, and I am blessed and honoured to be in his life and to marry the man I know God has been preparing for me. I finally get what everyone’s been telling me the last few years – waiting pays off. I could not ask for a better Godly, Kingdom man to spend the rest of my life with!
I do not know all the details or where I will be when, but I know God does. We are currently continually praying for a visa for Felix to be able to come to Canada to be able to meet my family and see where I come from. We know that Zimbabwe will be our home and that God is going to use us to do great and mighty things – things beyond what we can even comprehend at the moment!
My time here is limited, but once again it is nice to be home. The grass is green. The sun is shining. Love is in the air…more than just between Felix and I, but between us and God. He brought us together when everything seemed to be against us…we give Him the glory.
This is more than a “sweet” love story. This is about having faith and trusting God, and walking with Him into the unknown no matter what. It’s a process, one that continues every day and will the rest of our lives…
Please pray for us as we continue to seek Him and walk with him and all his ways. We desire to be and do what he asks of us. We know the road ahead will not be easy, but know that by walking with Him, it will be the right road that will draw us closer to each other as we draw near to Him.
