D and I actually always say we will tell Isaiah we met at church, it is actually quite the contrary. Derrick and I met in December 2000. I was 20, he was a "bouncer" at a club. I was in said club--underage. Looking back, I know now that God had plans for us, something I would never have thought then.
I was in an abusive relationship, and in the mean time D and I were really good friends, talking on the phone everyday, eventually loosing contact I got out of the bad relationship and went overseas (by myself at 21) all the way to Vietnam to be with my mom who was adopting my baby sisters, and had gotten stuck there waiting on immigration to allow my baby sister a Visa. I stayed in Vietnam for 3 months, and during that time all I could think about was D. I emailed a mutual friend of ours and she gave me his email address. We began emailing back and forth and fell in love. I left Vietnam and came home June 2001. We have been together ever since. It amazes me looking back.
I feel so blessed to have D as my husband and the father to our children both on earth and in heaven waiting for us. Even though we don't have to fairy tale story of how we met, it still shows the miracles God can perform, even in a bar.
God is so good.
