Last weekend, my hubby and I were able to go out on a date and participate in MarriageWorks, an event our church hosts every 3 months or so for engaged and married couples. We had a great time. Lovely dinner on a table with 2 other married couple friends, watched and participated in a dating-game that was part of the night, and shared a red velvet cake for dessert. We stopped for some wine on our way home and watched a movie together after relieving our babysitter. The following day, we headed out as a family to an Empty Bowls event which kinda didn't go as planned, as we ended up at Olive Garden having soup, but in any case, it was a great weekend filled with love and family. It was our February 27th weekend and an important weekend to note for us. I was reflecting on February 27th and it's significance and thought I'd share about it:
February 27, 2007 - I was in California, David was in West Virginia and over the phone, he expressed to me his prayer and asked me to consider pursuing a courtship with him.
720 - apt. 2 - Our first apartment together and where we spent our first night together before heading to the airport for our honeymoon.
February 27th, 2015 - Our plans drastically changed as the doors to David's job across the country closed, and we realized we were going to remain living in West Virginia for the time being.
February 27, 2015 - I drove to where David was, and I'm pretty sure, that was the night, Faith was conceived. As one door closed, another had opened. We named our daughter, Faith (complete trust or confidence in someone or something; Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen".) Her middle name is Isabella (devoted to God).
The numbers 2, 22, and 27, have significant meaning for us in other ways as well, David wrote about them all a few years ago, here:
