Tonight I got to witness one of the most beautiful things I have seen in a while.
Before Devin moved back home from Greenville after graduating, he and I attended a life group together through our church. It was honestly the best thing we ever did as a couple. We had never really gotten into studying the bible together until we started attending the small group. This was the beginning of a new relationship for us. We would have conversations that had great depth and meaning to them. We learned so much about how to have a Christ centered relationship through a sermon series our preacher did and us just studying and working through the material together.

After Devin graduated, he moved back to our hometown. There are many wonderful churches in our community but not too much to do as a young adult. Since the life group back in Greenville made such an impact on our life, Devin decided he wanted to try and start a small group back home. He started the Bible study off in Romans. They take a chapter each week and work through it verse by verse. Because I am finishing up my last year in school at East Carolina, I haven’t been able to attend the past couple of groups. Thanksgiving break is this week so I am home for the holidays and I got to attend one of the Bible studies tonight! I was very excited to be able to attend because Devin would always call me after the past couple of ones they had and would just go on and on about how great they were going! Devin has always claimed he was a terrible public speaker but he has proven himself wrong. He led the group so well! He read out loud part of the chapter and if any of y’all know Devin, he does not volunteer to read. To hear him read scripture makes my heart swell. Looking back on the life we use to live and to look at it now…I am just so humbled by the grace God has given us. I see him working on our hearts constantly. I am so blessed to be marrying a man who strives to serve God in everything he does. Devin’s faith is inspiring and I am so excited to be marrying a man who loves Jesus as much as I do.

If you are interested in attending the bible study, I highly suggest you go! Don’t let a busy life keep you from having fellowship and worship time with fellow believers. I promise you’ll get a lot out of it.
