I prayed that whoever I dated would be marriage material and I wouldn&#8217;t waste my time on someone God didn&#8217;t want for me. So God delivered and brought Kyle Edward Johnson into my life. He was the only boy I ever dated. The only boy to ever hold my hand or kiss me. The only boy I let into my heart (other than my Daddy). He treated me like a princess and swept me off my feet for almost 3 years of dating.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-fux5iKS0RxE\/UATb_CWaNdI\/AAAAAAAABRs\/3SIK1l2lpuY\/s1600\/19750_676798234308_7958212_n.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/fitsteph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/19750_676798234308_7958212_n.jpg\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\nHe captured my heart with flowers, cards, long phone talks, gifts, special date nights, and above all, a heart that was first seeking the Lord.

He has followed the Lord&#8217;s path for our lives and is working hard to provide for us. He has changed so much in 5 years but it&#8217;s so good. God has molded him so much in this time and I am so PROUD of MY HUSBAND.

Our relationship continues to reshape, grow, and change. And even though I may be super hormonal this pregnancy (wink wink), with ups and downs, I don&#8217;t know what I would do without the love of my life taking care of me and my girls.
