God led us into Courtship ❤️🔥
We want to make this known to you all so that you can join us in prayer and also to testify on how God used this ministry to allow for something as beautiful as this to start flourishing. @Gabriel Peralta
I found myself in a season of isolation for the longest time since I became born again. At first, I understood God was setting me apart from the world to be molded into the person he desired me to become. After a year or two, i began growing weary and feeling hopeless about my situation in that loneliness. I had a strong desire to be married and have children so I entrusted God with these desires with all my heart since the very beginning of my walk with him. I was confident that he would answer me in his perfect timing. Throughout 2023 and towards the end of it, I lost sight of that confidence and knew I had to shift my mind to start the new year off right with God and entrust him with the same desires even more with great faith. A big part of my surrender was me telling God that I didn’t know how I would ever make friends again because of my lack of social life but that I was laying it down at his feet, entrusting that part of my life onto him. I felt an overwhelming dread and weight knowing that in my own strength I would have to get to know someone all over again which would bring me to tears very often because of the pain I had experienced from previous friendships and I didn’t want to force anything. I desperately wanted someone to fellowship with but felt alone in the world, not knowing where to start the search for a friend. I told God many times “I don’t know how you’re going to do it. Right now i don’t want to make friends but you will do it for me.” I had so much faith saying that. I felt led to start a 3 day fast into the New Year, having that knowing that something would shift in the spirit and that God would move strategically according to his will and bring Godly connections and friendships into my life.
When the New Year began, I felt peace knowing that whatever God was going to do would be great and in his will. He was the only one with my life and future in his hands so i entrusted him 2024 for he was already in it. The first few days of the week felt different, like something new was going to take place. I felt refreshed and at peace, not because anything had changed in the physical but because my spirit felt anticipation for something that I didn’t know would come as soon as it did. On January 6, Gabriel followed me on Instagram. The next morning on January 7, he followed my music account and sent his first message. We immediately began talking about the RROC and had conversations that led to us relating in many different ways, from our personal testimonies to how similar our personalities were. We immediately connected in Christ in such a beautiful way. These conversations ultimately led to us realizing we wanted to grow closer to Jesus together.
God revealed so much throughout the process of Gabriel and I getting to know each other and growing in him. He worked in our hearts and in the physical in the midst of our physical distance to each other to bring things together in a way where we could move forward in our walks with him. Dreams, visions, and words confirmed his will and desires for us. Everything has always been centered on Jesus which has been the reason He continues speaking to us. We always seek to honor him in what we do. Since the first month of our friendship, Gabriel had it in his heart for us to fast from communicating with each other for a week every seven weeks to honor God with our relationship. We have remained disciplined with these fasts for the glory of God. Our relationships with Jesus have grown intimately stronger while Gabriel and I have grown closer to each other on Christ being our firm foundation.
Throughout our relationship, we expressed our desires in Christ and communicated how this is something we wanted to pursue with each other. Our courtship conversations were always smooth and came with peace, knowing that God would honor us in our vision of seeing a future together. We planned to meet up for a few days this month so Gabriel traveled down here to Texas and we met for the first time in person last week. We had many fruitful conversations rooted in him and really enjoyed our time together. It was beautiful and something that brought breakthrough in my heart. Holy Spirit was in the midst of it all. During this meetup, Gabriel communicated his intentions with me to my parents and asked for their blessing to officially begin courtship. During the conversation Gabriel had with my dad, my dad said God had already shown him what was happening to prepare him for what was about to take place. Glory to God, we received their blessing are very excited to continue on this journey and see what God has in store for us. Our intentions will always remain rooted in him. Everything we’re doing is for the glory of God.
I’m so thankful for the RROC ministry and the altar we were connected to in spirit before we knew of each other that led us together. Our testimony is proof that we will reap what we sow and that God truly works all things together for the good of those who love him. We are seeking his kingdom and everything is being added onto us. God honors our covering so I would like to honor the RROC as well by thanking you guys for all the wisdom that has been poured into us that led us to come this far. I pray this testimony encourages many of you and that the fruit of our labor will be evident in the years to come. Prayer for our courtship and wise counsel would be very appreciated. God bless you all in the name of Jesus!
