Our Father's faithful Providential hand, which ever governs our lives, has once again bestowed unbounded blessings upon us!
After years of praying for our children's future spouses, wherever they might be in this world, with the knowledge that they were chosen before the foundation of the world to be forever linked with our family, how precious it is to now begin the journey and really get to know the one whom we trust we eventually become Kitty's husband.
We are so very thrilled and honored to have Gabriel Pollock court our daughter, Kitty. We have felt for some time that he was the one for her. 7 months ago he asked our permission to court her, and after a time of prayer and evaluation, "The Father" agreed.
Gabriel's character, boldness for Christ, work ethic, and vision for the future give us every confidence that he will lead Kitty into all that God has destined for her to accomplish for HIS kingdom!
He asked her if he could court her on her birthday in a very romantic environment, especially for 2 history fanatics, at the Brooksville Raid Civil War Reenactment! Needless to say, she was not expecting that question right at that moment, so she was very surprised and happy! After knowing that he had already spoken with "The Father", she immediately said, yes.
We praise the Lord for opening this new, exciting chapter in our lives, and we thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Pollock, for faithfully raising such a fine young man for our Kitty.
For all you romantics out there, here are 2 more links detailing the big event!

Congratulations Kitty.
He looks like a fine fellow, and he can hunt too!
We appreciate this blog and the family newsletters that are sent out.
You guys must do excellent time management. I don't know how you can fit so much into a day.
The Lord continues to overwhelm our family with His wonderful blessings. We are so excited about how He has guided each step of the way so far and know that He delights in doing so. It is an exciting time and we can't wait to see what the future holds for these two precious people. Kitty, we could not have chosen someone so perfect for our son. You have made him (and us) very, very happy!!! We love you (and your sweet family).
Here we are on the road to Missouri and finally got able to open up the comments box! What a wonderful post! And what a blessing that day was! God is doing a marvelous work, and we are blessed to be a part of it.
(BUT, BTW, anyone who actually WANTS to move to Missouri must be out of his or her mind! We are frozen -- not freezing, but frozen. The temperature in Mountain Grove is 5 tonight. No thanks!)
Anyway, love to all you warm cozy Floridians! We hope to thaw out soon!
Love, Grandmother
Oh, what a beautiful post. Sorry to be reading and posting so late!
Everything was so well said, I can't say much else and I certainly can't say it any better! We, (the Stricklens) are so happy for Kitty and Gabriel. We, too, believe the Lord providentially brought them together. What an exciting time for us all!
We love you all!
THE STRICKLENS
