 Hello Dr. Grace, How are you doing? Blessed I'm sure. I don't know if you remember me from 03/10/2005 and 03/11/2005 at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church at the Single's Conference. Just in case you don't remember my name is Veronica Dantzler. You prophesied to me regarding my singleness. You said this time next year I am going to be blessed with a husband and to email you and let you know of God's blessing. I purchase two books from you, The Sacred Bond and The Band-Aid Bond. You signed [on Friday] 3/10/05, "Happy Birthday" in the first book, then on [Saturday] 3/11/05, you signed my name. Well in 2005 I enrolled in Luther Rice University/Seminary to get my degree in Biblical Counseling. In January 2006, I took an Evangelist class where I met Eric Ware, the man of my dreams, a God fearing man. He sat in the back of the class room staring at me; I looked back and said [to myself], what is he staring at, and turned around and faced the front of the class. Some of the students felt like the classroom we were in wasnt large enough, so they suggested that we moved to the classroom next door. The teacher agreed. Eric sat behind me in class and we began to speak to each other. On March 9, 2006 I asked the class to pray for traveling grace, because I was going home for my birthday to Baton Rouge, LA , to visit my parents. Then Eric and another guy began to laugh. Eric said, "That is my birthday and if she says her birthday is on the same day, I'm going to marry her." Later Eric and I spent time outside in the parking lot at Luther Rice Seminary talking about many things-school, work, family-it seemed like time was of no essence. We've been together every since. Eric and I decided to take Pre-Marital class, and completed the course on October 5th, 2006. Having successfully completed 30 hours at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, we received our certificate. On December 13, 2007 Eric ask me to marry him. He proposed to me in a most romantic way. He invited me to dinner at P.F. Chang Restaurant, which was quite unusual because two weeks earlier I had foot surgery and I really didn't expect anything but a wonderful outing for the two of us. After arriving at the restaurant we were greeted and seated by the manager. He came to check on me several times and I began to wonder if Eric knew him personally. The dinner was great as usual, and during the close of the evening, the manager brought us two fortune cookies, one for me and one for Eric. Eric knew I would open mine immediately. I opened the cookie which revealed a ring! Speechless with joy, the only word I could utter was. "Beautiful." On the other side of the cookie read a note with these words: "I've waited all my life for someone as special as you to come into my life. From the very beginning I informed you, I knew you were my wife, and many months later my love for you has only grown deeper than I could ever imagine. Today in the presence of God and everyone here, I confess my love for you in this special way, 'Will You Marry Me?'" At which time I said, "YES!!!!!" And, hurried and put the ring on my finger. At [that] very moment, Eric kneeled in front of everyone and asked me to marry him. Dr. Grace, I would like to personally thank you for your obedience to God's voice. The words spoken brought life and joy, and now [with] God's Will that He ordained, for this holy matrimony will take place May 5th 2007, in Atlanta, GA , and I would love to request your presence. Your sister in Christ, Veronica |
