Fall in Love!

Cyprus, a small island in the Mediterranean Sea, has always been a popular holiday destination for British people. In the mid-1990s, the UK had a catchy advertising slogan aimed at attracting more visitors to the island.

Cyprus, Fall in Love!

As it happened, I did!

After college, my best friend and I were recruited by an international cross-cultural organization. We headed off for a year of adventure, volunteering amongst international students in the land of sun, sea, and sand!

Little did I know that I would meet my American guy on our first day there. He was also recruited to the team, and from the moment I met him, I knew. He was the One! To find someone who I could talk to for hours, who was smart, who was serious about his faith journey, and who wanted to live a selfless life was something pretty miraculous!

When I chose a life of living overseas, I was always worried that that would send me into a life where I would be single and alone. But God. He knew. He is faithful. He answered the cries of my heart. 

Our adventures over 27 years together have taken us across five continents.  It’s been quite a journey! And yes, we’re still in love!
