Cris Ann

My aunt Sherry said she would like to hear the heart of Cris Ann, so I asked her if she would write. She was very hesitant and uncomfortable, but she did it. It took her three days and it is no longer than 500 word. Here is a look into my other half....

'Till this time I could hardly imagine that God would allow me to be a part of Caleb's life and ministry. I spent almost my entire life at the Christian School in Tacloban, and I thought that was it. I studied God's Word there, I did a lot of Sunday school classes, went with the students for door knocking etc. Just before I finished my last semester at school, our school director offered me a teaching job at the school. I really love to teach and thought it was what the Lord wanted me to do. I talked to Caleb about this and he told me to spend some time seeking the Lord's will, and I did. A week before my graduation, the Lord showed me His will. I decided not to stay because  i saw that Caleb needed my help. The Lord has been working in this part of the Island amazingly! Me and Caleb both believe that we could be more effective in the Kingdom and grow in the Lord together.

             Last Saturday, I brought Caleb to my parents's house and introduced him as my future husband. It never once crossed my mind that such event would happen in my life because unlike most Filipino girls, I never wished to have an American husband cuz of some cultural differences. All I wanted was to marry a man of my own race and be assured of his unending love. But see what I've got! A tall, white and blue eyed American. He is one blessing that I never expected to receive from God or even prayed to have. He is a gift that is carefully wrapped by God to be given to me. I'am so blessed and so thankful for him and always will be. I know that I don't deserve to have him, yet God gave him to me. In less than a month, Lord willing, I would be married to a perfect man. A man who has a desire for God. There's nothing else I could ask for, other than to be his helper in every aspect of life. It is always a great privilege for me to be a partner of a man who has desire to serve God. I couldn't stop praising God and thanking Him for everything He has done for us. Am also thankful for our families and friends who supports us and never stop praying for us. Thank you Lord for being so gracious!
