At long last: engaged!
On Monday, April 26, 2010, Kristi (Hays) Carman and I expressed to each other that together we were home, and it became very clear that our lives belong together, including her seven dear children whom I love with all my heart.
We do not have a date set yet, as we have only begun to deal with logistical matters, some of which are pretty complex. You can certainly pray that we may find a way to make all of this happen before the year is out. I’m not a big believer in lengthy engagements, and even less so given the distance involved and the factor of children. (If you’re interested in learning how you can pray more specifically, feel free to contact me.)
I cannot express how grateful I am to God for bringing such a wonderful woman into my life. I am humbled by my own weaknesses, and elated by His grace. He truly gives us much better than we deserve.
