So It has been a while since I have written anything.. Last time I updated I was talking about Haiti.. NOw I am going thru another Journey in my life and I figured I could fill everyone in here. I hope this is what you want Bethany!
So As most of you know I am engaged!
April 29,2011 Aaron asked me to be his Mrs.Regedanz and I said Yes!!
We are getting Married October 15th 2011!!
Aaron and I met Feb of 2010,his cousin steven actually introduced us but we actually just remained friends, to be honest I didn't want anything to do with him! It actually came in a turning part of my life. Looking back I see the hand of God. For the longest time I never thought I would get married I actually wanted nothing to do with guys I mean sure I was a girl and I looked from a distance but nothing came out of it and I am so glad that God did not give that feeling to me. He saved me I believe for Aaron. in April I made the commitment to God that I wasn't going to date anyone that summer. I was headed to haiti in August and I just wanted it to be God and Me time. Yes God still showed me the small things to like about Aaron but I still kept my promise. We went on a youth activity because College kids were invited and it was there that we actually talked and got to know each other more.. he pursued me, was it weird.. HECK YEAH.. I had never really known that feeling so to have I had no idea what I was doing. God was still in control. I still would not let myself however think about dating him.. Well until my wiser older Brother kinda pushed me to think about it :) I was so focused on my trip I wasn't really realizing what was in front of me but at the same time I was grateful for Aaron's heart he didn't push or pressure he didn't keep asking me out he let me have my God and me time. While I was in haiti He wrote me a letter a day, sometimes if the internet was out there would be two emails there just wondering how everything was going. It was about a week or so until I came home.. I was ready to be home that I finally said "okay what are we?" :) (I can be the type of person that wants to know then and there!! ) We talked it out knowing what both of us had wanted but of course did not want to officialize it over an email (I mean really) Well I came home Sept 15th but two days later hoped in a car and went to Texas to suprise my mom and my sister for their birthdays.. They had wanted to see me too. It was until Sept 22nd that we had talked and actually seen each other face to face we both know that we wanted to date. SO then October 2nd it became official we went out on our first date! Still loving the fact of seeing God work I love how God saved me for him. I am excited to be marrying him he is a man of God that i feel I have been waiting for and would never take that back!
Okay so I am done being mushy.. a friend of mine asked me to tell our story and as wedding plans progress I am sure there will be more! :)
God Is Good all the time
You know I never check this at all but for some random reason I logged onto blogspot and saw your post. So happy that God brought Aaron into your life and grateful that he is a godly man and soon to be husband. But I am also thankful that you are godly woman for him as well. Joe did good this time. But don't tell him I told you that! :)
ReplyDeleteI saw Julie's pictures posted from her recent trip to Haiti and I have to admit I thought "I cannot believe Teresa was there almost a year ago". SO much has happened since then that I it seems another life almost. I am sure some of that is my heart protecting itself but forever grateful for that opportunity for you even as hard as it was for you and your family.
Love you and so ready to celebrate with you on October 15th. Gonna be a party for sure! Then I will crash and not come out for a week to recover! :) Love ya. Your forever sis, Jo
I don't think that I was the Bethany that requested this story (but I am getting old and forgetful so maybe). But thanks so much for sharing!! It has been awesome to watch God work in and through the two of you.
