Several weeks before Jamie and I met, I was going through A really difficult time in my life. I remember being at an all time low, and one night I couldn't take it anymore. I was literally laying on the floor of my bedroom crying and unable to move. I felt more alone in those moments, than I have ever in my life, and my roommates were just in the other room! I remember crying out in my state to my heavenly father. I knew he was always there, but I was really struggling to accept his love, but in that moment I cried out for heavenly father to send me someone who could help feel his love, and get me through this struggle I was having. (As a side note, I actually had some kind of girl friend in mind, I was not praying for a boyfriend in any means). I continued to plead with my heavenly father to send me someone, because I could no longer carry this burden on my own. I remember having this feeling of peace, that was just enough that I could get myself together, stop crying, and continue on the next several weeks.
It wasn't long after that, that Jamie and I began talking. Now it wasn't like the moment I saw him I had thought "An answer to me prayers!" But more as time passed, as we got to know one another. As we spoke of our personal trials and successes, not only did my faith grow, but so did my love for this man. From day one he has been there for me to strengthen me physical, emotional, and spiritually.
It was the days before our wedding when I really "heard" this song. As I listened to the words, it was then that I realized that my prayers had been answered that my loving heavenly father had been listening. The words hit my heart so strong and clearly, that as I sit here listening again, those exact feelings enter my heart once more
"All my life, I prayed for someone like you. And I thank god, that I finally found you!"
"I praise the lord above, for sending me your love."
"You turned my life around, you picked me up when I was down."
Jamie James, you are my life, my world, my everything! Thank You for all that you do, and have done. I know you are always there for me no matter the ailment! And I thank my heavenly father everyday for answering my prayers and bringing you into my life! Love you babe!

Aw! So sweet. Isn't love grand?! Yay Jamie for being such a great husband to Stephanie and yay to Stephanie for having the strength to persevere and wait for something(one) to help support you eternally. Congrats to the two of you for having what sounds like a great connection with your faith and one another. :)
Steph I truly know how you feel with finding someone like your wonderful husband. I too was there in those moments of loneliness when I was blessed with the love of my life to enter and change my life forever. I love you Steph you truly have been a brick in my life that I knew would never break or fall down away from me. You have been an inspiration in my life. I remember when I moved to Utah and I had no clue why Heavenly Father needed me there....it was you. I didn't know that until right before I moved home. You will always be a close friend to me even if we dont get to talk that much. I love you!!!!
So glad that Jamie James found you, too! Happy late birthday to that man of your life! Your pie looks/sounded amazing!
aw!
