WE'RE ENGAGED!

I am unbelievably excited to officially tell you all that Jane and I got engaged this past Saturday!  We had an incredible weekend away from Limuru that culminated with our decision to take this step, and we are both so full of joy as we look toward the future.  On Saturday, I went from being about the most nervous I've been in my life, to the HAPPIEST that I've ever been - and that feeling is still overwhelming me a few days later!  Jane does a much better job of telling the whole story than I do, so please visit her blog if you want to hear the details:

Thank you so much to each of you who have been praying for Jane and I, encouraging us, and supporting our relationship over the past few years.  We know that we could not be where we are today were it not for God's guidance, patience, strength, and wisdom, and we believe that all of the prayers offered up for each of us have been a major factor in the way God's hand has been on our relationship.  We would love for you to continue praying as we embark on the next stage of our life together - the next year will hold all kinds of decision-making, wedding planning, learning more about each other, and preparing for marriage, and we know that we can't do all of this on our own.  Please also joining us in PRAISING God for how he has blessed us with each other and with such unbelievable joy!
