It is as if we were always a part of each other’s lives.
I am finally writing our Story. After having been on ASC and other Adventist Singles sites for several years, I had still not found that right person. I had originally joined these sites not with any real intention of finding someone, but rather for finding SDA friends where I was living. I had come back to the faith after having been living some time in the world. The Lord blessed me with many friends here and other places. Some I seen go on to meet and marry their special someone. I would delete my profile and then after months I would come back to see who was new and curious as to just maybe I might meet someone. Well last year I had deleted my account around February of 2007. Then this last September I decided to move from where I was living in California to where my mom was living in Oregon. I had two choices: move to Arizona or to Oregon. After much prayer and thought, I chose Oregon. Part of that thought was getting back online checking out local churches for what kind of young adults lived around those towns. Including reactivating my account on this site and checking out the young adult population from this angle. I had no intention of looking for a prospect, I was looking for friends. It seemed from my research and prayer that Oregon was the best choice. So with that, I made my decision. Not two days after, I had put the wheels into action for the move. I received a profile from djharvey. I looked at his profile and thought, "what is this guy sending me his profile for, he is nice looking and seems like someone that would be a great match spiritually, life style wise and so on". I waited a couple days before I emailed him back. Honestly, I was afraid to.
Then one night while sitting at my computer staring at his profile, I was arguing with God about responding to him. I was scared because I did not want to get rejected, but after all he had sent me his profile.
I felt the Lord telling me to let go and let him work here and to trust him. So I said OK! Don’t be so serious about this, just have fun, it will be an adventure. If it does not work out, oh well, I will have made another friend I am sure. So with a new attitude about the whole thing, I wrote to him. A couple cards and emails later, we started instant messaging, chatting, and then phone calls. I moved to Oregon at the end of November. On December 7th, he drove from College Place, Washington to meet me and spent the weekend with my Mother and I. Just after Christmas, I drove the nine hours to College Place and spent a week and a half with him and his parents and his two children. On January 1st, he asked me to marry him. I said yes of course. It has been kind of a whirlwind, but it is as if we were always a part of each other’s lives.
We had crazy connections of friends and family throughout our lives. For example, His grandmother in Montana used to baby-sit my cousins from the side of my family that is not even SDA. The list goes on. God directed me here; I knew that, but to what end I had no clue. Dan and I feel so very blessed. He is my perfect match and my man after God’s own heart. Thank you for your site and the work that you do. Dan and I will be married June 8th 2008 in California with some of our friends attending the wedding that I met from this very site. Thanks again!

We could not live without each other.
We both joined the site unreservedly as we liked the traditional approach of meeting someone face to face. She resided at the time in Jamaica (Medical Technologist) and I resided in Turks & Caicos Islands (Mathematics Teacher). However, God had a plan for our lives. We both loved things of nature, variety of cuisines (especially vegetarian based) and also exploring the Word of God. After the initial IM on March 2006, the conversation and friendship blossomed with exchange of emails and numbers. We both sent each other encouraging words, smiles, and jokes on and off the site. July of that same year we met for the first time in Montego Bay, Jamaica with a warm embrace that sparked a deeper relationship. We became extremely deep friends and we then realized that we could not live without each other.
Each holiday I would go to Jamaica and spend a wonderful and enjoyable time with her especially by the seaside (we both love the splashing waves with the sun setting in the background).
The love between us escalated and we eventually prayed about our future together, which included a "date" for the following year. We got married at the Mount Salem Seventh Day Adventist Church, Montego Bay, December 16, 2007. We are currently residing in Bermuda where she is a Medical Technoligist and I am a Mathematics Teacher. God continues to be a central focus of our lives as the love He provided for us yesterday will last today and forever.

We had been longing and praying
Me (niceskinnygirl) and Flip (his id in ASC) just join this site for few weeks (less than 1 month) when we first start chat on feb 7, 2005. Thats how everything started, just from the simple hello from me and GOD brought us together. I believe GOD already prepared him for me and me for him. Coz we had been longing and praying to meet our lifetime partner.
Flip was ready to leave his life and family in US and find a job here in Indonesia. Finally we get married on January 7, 2007. Now we are expecting our first baby that will born in November 2007.
Thanks GOD for allowing me to meet the king of my heart here through ASC. Thank you ASC!!!

Never would have expected...
Your site was just the tool God used to bring me together with my current husband!
After dating other guys from non-Adventist sites I had had enough and told God I would only consider Adventists and would take my name off other non-Adventist sites. That same day, September 2006, I received a "card" from a wonderful man from his site.
Come to find out we had so much in common and only lived about 3 hours from each other! We started dating and were married on Christmas Eve, Dec. 26, 2006.
As I am writing this, May 6, 2007, I never would have expected to meet my husband on the internet, but God is good - all the time!!! He brought two people together who really needed each other and fulfilled each other's needs and wants.
I feel like I've found my best friend and my husband says that he's found me - the one he's said he's looked for his whole life.
So if there are those reading this and thinking it will never happen to them, then take courage - pray about it and God may just answer you in a way that you never expected.
God is the ultimate match-maker!! I know that He hears prayers of single men and women because I was once one of them and now am married to my husband.
Thank-you Adventist Singles Connection! I never would have found Rick had it not been for you!

How time flies! Rick and I continue to share a loving relationship. We are happily married and we owe it all to God and Adventist Singles Connection! THANK YOU SO MUCH! We have now moved to the country with 4 acres, a wonderful house,
and a very nice work shop for Rick!
We added "Penny" since being married. She is a Rat/Jack Russell Terrier. She is a sweetie and keeps us very busy! She loves living in the country now where she can run and play!
Life is so much better since we found each other. It feels like we've just begun our lives. We are very much in love and again want to express our
deepest "THANKS" to your website.
Thank you so much and God bless!!!

100% match
We each had been praying for God to lead the right person to us. Linda was doing a search on the Adventist Singles site for a man within her age group. My profile caught her interest and she sent me a smile. I responded to her smile with mail. We set up a time to chat on IM.
With mail, cards, IM, and phone calls, we've been in constant communication since we met. Neither one of us could have imagined that God would bring someone into our lives who had so much in common and was so compatible, including our desire for music ministry.
We scheduled a personal visit and have had several visits since. Linda lives near Dallas, TX and I live in Neligh, NE. We live approximately 700 miles from each other and would never have met if it wasn't for Adventist Singles Connection.
We have decided to spend the rest of our lives together and are planning to get married this May.
God truly knew what He was doing when He brought us together, and we've been letting Him lead us ever since.
Thank you, again.
