'The announcement'

To all our friends at Big Church

The time is here to reveal that Ian (Fireun) is my Beloved.

We met here in January of this year and became friends. During a brief time off Bc we lost contact only to re establish when we got back on again. We have been close friends ever since May. Early in July we realised that the Lord had brought us together for the very special union that is eventually going to lead us into marriage.

We both know that without a shadow of doubt that this is God’s plan for both of our lives. It has been confirmed through scriptures, prophecy and Visions that He gave to both of us over a long period of time. We complement each other in so many ways and know that this is not the works of two people hoping for the best. Ian and I are both convinced that unless the Lord builds the house (Marriage) they that labour, labour in vain. Ps 127.

We are so blessed to have found ‘Our one True Love’. We love each other with a love that neither of us has experienced before, that is far deeper than anything physical. We are so connected to each other spiritually that we know what the other is thinking, even when we are hundreds of kilometres away. Scripture has become so alive. Our walk with the Lord has deepened and our lives have become richer as a result.

We know that some of you either knew that we were together, or had wondered about the two of us. We really appreciate you respecting our silence, and we humbly thank you.

Yes we have decided to get married in September 2009, and we are going to be officially engaged in Late January 2009.

Blessings to you all,

Louise & Ian

The body of Christ is like a patchwork quilt! All stitched together with God's love.

I was busting at the guts to tell, but I didn't!! Now that it is out...whew!! OK! Now, all these things you've written are so wonderful, scriptural, and so much of God....I know...He wrought and brought you two together.
I love you, Ian, my brother, for all the special things you've said about my dear friend Louise and all the wonderful posts and comments...they are so God-inspired! I know you love Louise like my Jim loves me. As Martha Stewart says "It is a goooood thing."
I love you, Louise. I've seen you grow into a woman of godly strength and knowledge. I think it was all there from the beginning, but it had not taken root as it has now. You are blessed with a healing balm to finish up your past...to bring about your Ephraim and let go of your Mannaseh (except for knowing that He was faithful in it all to you)....Your Ephraim is your double blessing, your fruit flowing over in abundance from HIM....blessings to you both. Congratulations!! Love Beth and Jim


Louisiana replies on 10/5/2008 5:41 am:
Thankyou Beth for not telling. Nice to relax now, eh? Thankyou from both of us for your kind words and encouragement. Thankyou for being there, right from the start and being a huge part of my turning point. Blessings to you and Jim, Louise & Ian

CONGRATULATIONS IAN AND LOUISE


PS - So then Ian, what are you doing going to the BC prom with Sheryl - trying to put us all off the scent????

One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in His temple. Psalm 27:4


Louisiana replies on 10/5/2008 5:48 am:
Thanks Kaye. Sorry for putting you all off the scent!! Thanks for not telling, you are a gem too! Blessings, Louise
