Hi, I'm Marcie, and I have been involved with Young Life for about 6 years. I first attended club in 10th grade. It wasn't until my senior year in high school that I became a WyldLife leader. Following a month at Windy Gap I became a Young Life leader. I stopped leading a few months later and wasn't directly involved with Young Life for almost 2 years. At the time, I was just very busy with college and other commitments. I transferred to the University of North Florida for the last 2 years of college and began to lead again for Stanton College Prep High School in January of 2008. I'm in love with the Lord and am excited for what He will do in and through me in the next few months. On a different note, I am engaged! I met my fiancé in May of 2008. In July, after much prayer, tons of questions and lots of advice, we started dating. I had never seriously dated anyone before this point as I am a very picky person and have a written list of qualities that must be met (mind you I wrote these qualities 2 years ago). Before Michael and I made things "official" I found my list and reread everything. I almost cried when I discovered that Michael has every quality on my list....and then some!! But most importantly he loves the Lord.
The week after Thanksgiving, Michael drove 12 hrs (from north Georgia to Southwest Florida) to ask my parents for their blessing. My dad gave him a hard time but eventually said yes :) My mom was elated, never once second-guessing her decision.
Three weeks later on December 27th, Michael surprised me with a very romantic and thoughtful proposal on Bonita Beach during sunset. He had laboriously constructed a pathway toward "I <3>
We plan to marry March 2010 after we are both graduated.
God is good; his faithful love really does endure forever. I am blessed and it really is only by the grace of God.
