Normally, I deal only with biblical and theological matters on this blog, but I think a few personal entries are okay. And I can think of no better excuse for getting personal than to announce to anyone reading this that I got engaged to my girlfriend, Laura, on 6th August.
I really feel blessed by God to have had such a beautiful, loving, intelligent and funny Christian woman come into my life and I thank him for her on a daily basis.
I think deep down I've known I want to spend the rest of my life with her practically since we first met in February this year. The last six months has been such a wonderful time - even though there was deep sadness in it too when Laura's father died in May.
After preparing my proposal plan over the past couple of weeks, I summoned up my courage and asked her on Tuesday and I was both relieved and delighted when she was kind enough to accept my proposal.
The next few months look like being a busy and exciting time for both of us as we begin to make wedding plans.

Hello James!
ReplyDeleteI finally found your blog :-)
(OK, so actually I should give the credit to Claire's superior blog-stalking skills).
It was good to see you again last night, hopefully we can get to know each other properly in amongst wedding plans.
Congratulations again on your engagement to the lovely sparkly Laura :-)

Hi Morag.
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving your comment and your good wishes. One of the many great things about Laura is that she has good friends like you. I too am looking forward to getting to know you and Colin better in the months ahead. I really enjoyed Saturday evening.
All the best.
James.
Thanks Satch!
