Really? That long?!

Yes, really. It has been 10 years since Allen and I met. What is so crazy is that, if you know our story, God gave me a little glimpse into the future the very first time we met. We were at Faith Development Camp where Allen came to sing with Won By One and I was a counselor attending with my church. Apparently he saw me but I did not notice him. I was late arriving for the evening session and the only spot to sit was next to him. Soon after I arrived, Chris asked us to get in groups of 3 to pray and Allen asked me if I wanted to join their group. It was dark and I couldn't even really see him. However, we held hands to pray with our group and all of a sudden this crazy feeling overwhelmed me and this thought entered my mind: "I don't even know this guy, but I could marry him." It was one of those scary weird moments, especially because I had a boyfriend at the time. I love this memory and cherish the little glimpse God gave me. Anyway, it was 10 years ago this summer that God shared that with me. Isn't that cool?

Hey Sarah,

Funny...I remember that weekend too! :) That guy you sat by wouldn't stop talking about you.

I just stumbled across your blog from Amber's blog, and love catching up on your pics of sweet little Luke. What a doll!! You guys look like you're having fun. I would send you the link to our blog, but it is ridiculously out of date. I'm horrible! :)

Give Allen a huge hug from me! I pray you are all well and enjoying these early months of parenthood.

Love,
Tracey
