Santa Monica, CA (BlackNews.com) - "Faithmate was a blessing to Robert and I," says Denise H., who becomes a blushing bride all over again when she describes her match made in heaven. She recites every detail as if it were yesterday.
"Robert first contacted me through Faithmate on Aug. 1, 2007. We emailed each other and exchanged numbers." Though hundreds of miles separated them, they immediately found so many common bonds that they decided to take the next step.
"He drove from Atlanta up to Maryland to meet me mid-August."
The stars burst right away for these two -- says Denise, "I knew, even from our first encounter, that he was special," and clearly he felt the same way. "We continued to communicate with one another," with Robert traveling to Maryland and Denise going to Atlanta.
But a challenge from above was laid before the happy couple.
On Dec. 7, 2007 Robert suffered a stroke.
Now, any Faithmate will tell you that barriers are made to be stepped over. When a door is shut, use the window --
Once Robert was released from the hospital in January, Denise flew to Atlanta for 11 days to care for him.
"During that time, God brought us closer together." Though he was getting better, Robert had to move back to New Jersey to be with family since he could not work yet.
"We continued to see one another. I actually helped him with his move, driving his car from Atlanta," writes Denise, before drawing a big breath for the beautiful next chapter of the story:
"Robert proposed to me Aug. 4, 2008. We immediately began planning our wedding for May 16, 2009."
But this love would not wait, so "we decided to get married in my home Sept. 25th."
To celebrate this union, Faithmate is bringing Robert and Denise to visit Bishop Noel Jones at the City of Refuge Church in Los Angeles in December.
Amen.
