That said, okay, God, before I ever reach out to her, prepare me to be whatever man she needs in her life. Because in the back of my mind, I said, I might be a husband. But also the fourth of the mind, like, I might just be somebody to aid, an assignment. Yeah. But in my mind, I'm like, she is a beautiful assignment. Day went by, I'm like, cool, you know what I'm saying? 48 hours. 48th, chapter 2. A week?

A week?

A mott.

What? You know what I'm saying? 48 hours. 40 and chapter 2.

A week.

A week, a month. A month went by. I'm like, Lord, was that you when I was here? Do you love me? A year later, I was just going through my DM because, you know, I'm single. Responding to the DMs is not even like something that I usually do. He sent this really beautiful message about how he loved my natural beauty and my heart for God and how I love God. And I went on his page and I was like, oh, he's a preacher. I don't know. You know, I don't say about pastoral wives. You know what I mean? No, nobody want to be a pastor's wife. Welcome to a Dear Future Wifey podcast. My homies, Joshua Hoover and Jalika Smith.

They're in the building.

What's going on with you? We don't made it to the yellow chill. I was slipping a slide because of the oil that's been on it, man. A lot of people made that say the fact. I'm always trying to look for people that I can point as influencers for my nephew who's 17 that they can look at

and be like oh they cool because you know most people look at Christianity as like that's true

but it's real man if you're not living a life that like people want it's hard to say oh yeah like

follow God you know what I'm good somebody has to want your you know, so that your life can preach. The Bible should let your life shine. Why would I want to live for God? If you're living for God, look like that. You know what I'm saying? God told you not no elotion no more. Oh, God. Anything we want to post to glorify Jesus Christ. That is our mission to glorify God, to edify the body of Christ and to terrify the devil.

What we have? We want to post to glorify Jesus Christ. That is our mission to glorify God, to edify the body of Christ and to terrify the devil.

What we have is like God entrusted us with.

And he would have never gave it to us if anything we could do it.

Let me ask you this.

So now back to the question that people ask.

Yeah.

Why haven't y'all got married yet?

What started as a search for understanding became a journey of transformation. Every letter that I wrote led me to this day, the day I got married.

November the 22nd, 2025, dear my forever. Forever is a long time. That's how long

I love you. Those lyrics echo through every fiber of my soul at the very thought of you.

This journey has culminated with you as both the award and the reward of my pursuit of love.
