Our love Story
The story of a desert prince and a city girl
I had 3 specific requests to God, then and I would know if it was Him!
It was a lovely summer day in 2008 I took courage and went to a man I knew had a prophetic gift, I wanted to ask him if I would ever get married or if I should be a nun, I had experienced a few years before being a little happy for a guy who had asked if it shouldn’t be the two of us? but every time I asked God I got no answer and the peace just didn’t come with it.
5 times I was asked in the mission organization https://jesusrevolution.com I had traveled with for 6 years where I was around much of Europe, I just couldn’t find peace in it, was there really such a thing as love? I felt it was impossible and it really meant a lot to me that God had chosen him, because then I knew it would honor God and be the best for me.
25 years old
Then he can come
When I was 17 I had asked God to be 25 when I met my husband, I had shown my mother and sister a solitaire ring in gold with a white diamond, which I thought my future husband should propose with, because then I knew that God had chosen him.
It was June, I was 25 years old, when I stood in front of someone who has a prophetic gift, which means: someone who can convey or reveal a message from God and I was born in September, so I started to think that it was probably just a little crazy to be so specific and even get God involved in that plan, but what if it wasn’t my plans, but something God had made me think about, so that He could show me how great He is.
When will he come?
or is it wishful thinking?
I had felt for some time that I would soon meet my future husband, but was also afraid that it was wishful thinking, as my sister had said, it will be a miracle the day you find a man.
I was now standing there in front of someone who has a prophetic gift and felt a little funny, I asked my direct question, He immediately began to prophesy; you will meet him while you are away, when he sees you he will think wow wow wow, you will not be flirting, but will get married after a short time, were some of the things he just listed, as if he was reading it out of a book, it was so crazy to hear and I felt such joy and peace inside, often you have the understanding that when you have received a prophecy it may well be a few years before it happens, so I rested in that, that now everything was as it should be, then I would happily wait to meet him.
I was going to summer Bible camp in Thisted in June/July and a friend from church had told me about her older brother, Søren, who she thought would go well with me, but when she showed me the pictures of him, I thought, no! not my type at all.
I got a strange feeling.
It wasn't at all what I had imagined.
When the time came for the camp, my friend had arranged for me to meet her brother and siblings, they were sitting playing cards in the awning of their caravan, I came in, Søren looked up and quickly looked down at the cards he had in his hand, after which he looked up again, I got a strange feeling inside, something in me really wanted to get to know him better, but no, it wasn’t at all how I had imagined it would be, it had only been a little over a month since the prophecy, could it really be true.
I wanted to get to know him so much, but every time I saw him, I didn’t dare show interest, if he really thought I was so wow he would have to take some initiative, so I became precious and showed no interest at all, I think now that’s what hurt me the most, because he got the impression that I didn’t bother him and didn’t want to go any further with it.
I didn’t think about anything else, it was something I hadn’t felt before, but it was all just wishful thinking. The camp was over and we hadn’t really said a word to each other, even though we had seen each other for a few days.
Oh, now I had a stomachache, so he probably just wasn’t interested.
Time passed, it was August, my friend called and asked if I wanted to come over? Without my knowledge, she and her sister had plans for Søren and I to meet, I had not otherwise planned it and definitely did not tell her that I was interested in him, but wow, an opportunity to see him again.
For the first time we really talked, but I don’t think he seemed to have any interest whatsoever, the months passed and I thought; that he should be my husband, my mother, to whom I told everything, found out; I have met my future husband! but she had not yet met Søren.
Back to Israel
No, come back again!
It was January and he was going back to Israel where he had been back and forth for about 10 years, so it would be about a year before I might see him again, with this news I felt really bad, I would now have to wait a whole year to see him, I started praying, yes I remember so clearly walking around my little apartment and telling my Father in heaven that he had to make those at the border as stubborn as Pharaoh when Moses was not allowed to go with his people into the desert, so Søren had to return and marry me.
He came with the white airplane
and not with the white horse :)
To my great surprise, my friend calls me one day and tells me that something crazy has happened, Søren has not been able to enter Israel for the first time in 10 years, for 5 years he was not allowed to enter the country, wow it was almost incomprehensible, my Father in heaven had surely arranged that, he he I cheered inside, but sounded cool on the phone.
When Søren gets this news in Israel his first thought is that then he can come home and get to know me better, so he came home with the “white plane”.
He helped me arrange some practical things in my new apartment, but we hadn’t had the big talk yet. My mother hadn’t met him yet either, she was the only one who showed how I felt and one day we were sitting out in the kitchen and joking about how I could meet him again, I felt like a little teenage girl, in love and not knowing what to do, so my mother suggested that I invite him over for muffins tomorrow morning, since I had got a new oven, a bit crazy I think, so we fooled around and wrote a text message with this suggestion for fun, I hadn’t intended to send it, I was precious and preferred not to open up about my feelings to him, it was the man who had to take such initiatives.
“Dud” said my mother after pressing the button, to my great surprise she had sent the message to Søren, no no and I jumped around like a kangaroo in the kitchen totally embarrassed about what he would think, it wasn’t long before he wrote back that he really wanted to, so my mother was quickly forgiven 🙂
But what we hadn’t really thought about was that I didn’t have yeast and I guess I had never tried baking buns before, yes it may sound funny, but I only learned to bake and cook when I got married, I hadn’t really had time for that before he he he, So the next morning before the shops opened I had to finish the buns, so I had to go down to the baker and ask for yeast and got the biggest lump of yeast I’ve ever seen.
Now Søren was aware that I was interested in him, and that made it a little easier to talk to him. Yes, I had my entire 100 times 100 question list lined up to find out who he was and even that when my husband knows, he should propose, I don’t want that flirting.
Engagement
So in February 2009 we really got to know each other, on March 21 he asked me on a romantic walk in the forest if I wanted to get married.
At that time I was working in a jewelry store and had prepared the staff in the store that if a guy came in and wanted to look at my engagement ring, I had selected 3 alliance rings for him to look at, they looked at me strangely, they hadn’t even heard me talk about any guy or boyfriend, so straight up engagement, that’s probably far in the future.
Søren knew what days I worked in the store and when he came in to see the 3 rings I had selected, there were problems getting one in the right size, the other in gold instead of white gold and he didn’t like the third one, so he chose a gold solitaire ring with a white diamond in it, instead, without knowing anything about my desired ring.
The Right Ring!
My third wish to God!
At that point in my love affair I had completely forgotten about my prayer that he would propose with a solitaire ring and it only dawned on me one day when I was at work and had to deliver some rings to some others.
Wow God had answered all 3 of my requests.
1. That I would meet him when I was 25.
2. He would propose with a solitaire ring and
3. He would come home with the white plane to Denmark so we could get married 🙂
Later I saw that the story in the Bible about Rebekah and Isaac, where Abraham’s servant, who is sent out by Abraham to find a bride for Isaac, was the same way with 3 requests, which were direct answers to prayer that it was her that God had chosen for Isaac.
I got my Søren and could not have thought of a better man for me, Thank God, He gets the honor and we get the blessing.
