#Repost @realjohngray ・・・ It was March of 2010. Late Friday night. God woke me up. He said "You can propose to her on July 17th. It's a Saturday." I had been spending time with this one particular girl A lot. But I wasn't committed. Used the fear card to keep distance and options open. Mind you, God didn't tell me to marry this girl. He just said I COULD. It's what any loving Father would do: steer their child towards what's best, but leave the decision to them. At that moment I knew it was time to get serious, say goodbye to all the options and focus in on this one girl who I just couldn't shake. Even though we had been friends for a year, I asked her to be my girlfriend on April 17th, 2010. Then Three months later I asked her to marry me. July 17th, 2010. This picture was taken not long after our engagement. 717. Two complete people meeting in the middle to make one new Thing. That was the idea. Neither of us was complete but we were as far along as we needed to be to build. Nothing is ever perfect. Seize the moment if you get one. I did. And now, 7 years later, I have two children who will build on our vision and extend our legacy. We've traveled the world talking about Jesus. And this is only the beginning. 7 years today. If only people knew everything going on right now and how the enemy has tried to steal every ounce of joy in our lives just this week-but he will not prevail. Happy 7 year proposal anniversary @grayceeme. I love you. You are everything im not and so much I'd wish to be. Thank you for your love and tireless efforts on behalf of our family. So now im bout to rhyme: 7 years ago, I asked you to take wild ride. Be the helpmeet that walks by my side. Didn't know where we would go or what we'd do, I just knew God would see us through. This journey has taken us around the world-but currently down SOUTH-You have the keys to my heart, so today I give you Keys to a HOUSE! 71717-#miraclesallday #71717 #wegotanewcrib #the grays #myhoustontx #pastor #joelolsteen
