Proposal

A few days ago I was looking up my current favorite artist on Youtube. His name is Dave Barnes and if you are not familiar with his music, you need to be! He is so very talented. He is the one who wrote and recorded "God Gave me You."
As I was watching his different videos, I came across a wonderful couple who videoed their marriage proposal and used the song "God Gave me You." This couple's proposal reminded me a lot of my own experience.
Steve and I met at University Baptist Church in NWA about 9 years ago. We met in a Sunday School class.
We got in engaged on April 7, 2004. Steve picked me up on that Wednesday night and I had an idea that he was going to propose to me. He told me that we were going to go out to eat. He stopped at the church and we got out. I kept asking him what we were doing. He took me to the church's chapel (it used to be the sanctuary). He had a stool on the stage and roses and a Bible. He told me to sit on the stool. He gave me one rose and said it represented my outer beauty. He gave me a second rose and said it represented my inner beauty. The third rose represented my relationship with Christ. He gave me a Bible and he had written a WONDERFUL letter to me in the front of it. He read me the letter and handed me the Bible. Then, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him and gave me the ring.
I could not have asked for a proposal that I liked any more than what he did.
We then drove a block over and ate at Bordino's. I remember calling friends and family in the bathroom there because it was so LOUD.
I am so thankful for a wonderful husband that loves the Lord and loves me!
