James and Stephanie first met at Ginn Academy, where Steph was a first-year Teacher and JG served as a Youth Support. JG happened to have her younger brother, Julian, in his group—and Julian quickly became the unofficial middleman, often answering JG’s questions about Steph and happily instigating curiosity on both sides.

Their mutual interest quietly grew until one bold moment changed everything. JG stopped by her class getting snacks, Steph smiled and said, “Why don’t you ask me what I like instead of asking my brother?” It was the spark they both needed. James asked Stephanie out on a date and from that moment on, the rest wasn’t just history—it became an adventure filled with laughter, growth, and a plot twist no one at the school ever saw coming!

A Love Worth Waiting For <3

For Stephanie, James entered her life at a pivotal moment — when she was ready to receive a God-sent love that not only chose her, but also embraced her son, Levi, with an open heart.

For James, Stephanie became the warmth and strength that grounded him. She encouraged his growth, challenged his dreams, and reminded him who God called him to be. Through her love, James found both peace and purpose.

And then came Iris — the living manifestation of their love. A beautiful promise, born from two hearts aligned, representing the union of their faith, their journey, and their forever.

Two lives. Two children. One divine story.

“So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

— Matthew 19:6
