Road to Covenant: How We Met

everyone so we are back and we have loved your question so far thank you so much for your questions keep them coming we're going to try to compile them all together and get a video of you guys answering them but today we are excited to share the story of how we met so we're gonna share a little about you know what happened and how it's all courtship and this engager come to be I'll just say that how we met is not necessarily how we started dating Brennan and I attended the same College Cornell University and I was introduced to him my freshman year which was his sophomore year um but we never really spoke after that it was just like a kind of like a to me meet a person and you can we've hi to them across campus and Brooke keep it woman that's pretty much what it was I didn't talk to him being able to communicate but I just knew who he was we had similar circles of friends so we kind of crossed paths but yeah she was just known as like the one with the beautiful voice and like everybody knew her cuz like they would always ask her acapella group to sing it like different events and stuff so that's how I knew her just like distant kind of know me yeah yeah so we took a class together my son yes second semester senior year we were old yeah we're over the same class and so you may start seeing somebody on a more consistent basis so I saw her and then which are talking you know more on and off same time you're high I know yeah classes and we both end up dropping the class so the classes we there we go one day I think shredder and I are having conversation as talking me shoes and hey I want to work out more I'm thinking about you know buying this DVD set p90x I think a lot of people are familiar with it's like the other version that came before insanity yes she says I'm interested working out you know I want to get to it I don't think about buying this DVD set what do you think and I was like um I mean I have the DVD set so if you want to just borrow mine I you know you can use it on and off I got mine at all it wasn't a problem to me yeah so I offered to loan her the DVD set that's how we became friends acquaintances to friends sharing the DVD well you would exchange it was just sort of like you know borrowing his DVDs twice it's true um but yeah moved into friends and you know I didn't want to make it seem like I was just using him for his DVD so then we just have actual conversations like you know how the semester go in our class is going like what do you have planned for the weekend just regular stuff right but like I said still like romantic interest at this point and um no thoughts bag you know we'd ever be together and I was just like I saw her my class thought that she you know it would be nice and me to let her use my DVDs you know every now and then and you just let her do it yeah and that this way I was also becoming more knowledgeable about what it means to date as a crisp as a Christian and things like that so I was content in my singleness I wasn't looking today anyone so yeah thoughts of day training just didn't happen yeah so she saw so we started talking more I think that she started like seeing how I interacted in different circles I just asked them to have like a conversation because I was facing a professional ethical decision I had to make a really tough choice between two good options but whatever in position that means that I heard something else so I wanted to know the best and a little bag could still maintain my reputation with both entities I will just say that oh and I knew that Brandon was someone was like very professional and for Lisa five boom and I know why it's like the Holy Spirit person told me to just go to him and ask him for advice about how I should handle this I still don't know why I did this book texts I was eight I mean I don't mind like helping because you know attended you know like helping people but I was like I don't know if I'm fit this like I've barely had a couple of summer internships so I don't know they know someone from a far distance and you only see certain things like you get I guess a different perception of whom the arm this is why it's important not to assume but in a movie have that conversation in although you didn't directly give me an answer really helped a lot what I told you is that what you should do and she ended up doing it and now look at her accomplished yes we had this awesome conversation but it was it wasn't a conversation of sugar that very what do you think I should do about my professional decision cuz it was a deeper like more bright enough basis copper's know Brennan is an inquisitive person oh he likes asks a lot of questions and that's why the conversation was more than just oh you know what should I do cuz I'm my type of person it's like alright I need this like let's all walk this let's get down to business like he's just like asking me more questions about Who I am as a person also have some questions like what led to me even having to use two decisions No okay I think it's important though like you got know people and I think that you know me being from like the Midwest yeah run in the Midwest there yeah baby before the Midwest or whatever like I think that you know having good conversational people is important and I enjoy knowing people on a deeper level than just surface up I was like really touched by the how deep our conversation went and I was not expecting it to be this at all like I went in there I'm just expecting to help her answer this question that she was having but it turned out we were talking about God her family you know her her time at Cornell like the struggle that she's in kind of like all these different areas we were touching on I was just like huh shredder seems very connected to her spirituality which is something that I knew but like it seem like she's really like really bad like I could see from shredders answers and from you know the conviction that she had behind her voice like it was real and I was like well you don't find this too often like that's pretty cool so I started that so that's what happened like in our conversation that's what I saw and I walked away I was like huh she got me thinking about my relationship we got being raised in the church and whatnot like how how am i doing you know in that regard to see and I was like it'd be really interesting to find out more about her why she why she feels his way or her walk with God and so I asked her she wanted me up again for us to talk more yeah um well we met up I think it was like the first question he asked muses like what do you thought sex was it the first one now she's like and then I was taken aback because you did one of those questions that I think a lot of Christians often don't really discuss right off the bat but I think that it's a pretty important yeah and all of a sudden like Jesus must know my deep deep thoughts and like I found that interesting because at this point in my life like God has just had just changed my whole heart and Michael thinking towards Christian dating so I'm just like the timing of this and everything is just a little strange but we had a deep honest conversation and I saw within Brendan just a desire to learn more about guys all right he was truly like to making changes his life's to draw closer to God so it was just a really powerful conversation and I think from theirs we just have started to have more conversations about our faith and you know our devotion time learning and things like that and I think that's probably yeah I told her this in the very beginning of our relationship we actually started dating that like I believe that you know the Holy Spirit was working through her to actually speak the truth that I needed to hear and to ultimately help me see you know how much I need to draw closer to God and to have a deeper relationship with him and so that's why they through these initial conversations just as like friends I had just you know been going through like a lot of stuff in my personal life and you know having these convictions from these conversations with sure etta really put me in a position to open my heart fully to God and let them work you know on me yeah I was definitely seeing that that's the main story of how we met and it eventually led to him asking me on a date and we'll share more details about that because we see that some of you already asked questions about how we really really started like the of the question so let's um that we answer your questions but for the most part how we met was the same College had some of the circles to the class together kind of sort of not really um but became more familiar with each other from that and then I went into Bobby conversations of our personal walks as Christians and then we ended up here yes you know it needed to happen when it did I like when we look back at it you really was all in God's timing and that's so important not to rush things not to force things just let the spirit but how we had conversation prior to you know that my last semester when we actually started talking more and more I think that our pathway to this relationship would have been a little bit different not a little bit maybe drastically different just because where we both read in our lives at that point like yeah I was out doing my thing she was out you know Google she was doing a deal I thought it all happened at this time because I believe that this was the point in time of my heart would be open to actually receiving you know whatever love God was placing in my life at that point yeah that's how you met and then it's beautiful yo thank you said quite about our actual first day will touch that soon Oh in the question/answer videos yeah first day oh by the way if you're wondering where we are right now because you're not familiar with this background or you know
