Success story. Belinda and I first met online in the Cafe in January 2004. She lived in the Toronto, Canada area, and I live in Bellingham, Washington. At first I did not think there was any way I would date someone so far away, but I agreed to be pen pals. Belinda travels and has a lot of friends in this part of the world, so she was open to dating people from this area, and she was a bit disappointed with my answer, but agreed to be friends. She had read my profile thoroughly, and liked a lot of what I wrote. And that is one thing I like about the Cafe, I was able to write a lot about who I am, what my hopes and dreams are, and show a bit of my personality and humor through my profile. A personality test just does not let you do that.
Since Belinda travels a lot, we met a few times in 2004. The first time was in Anacortes, Washington, where she was staying with friends. That also happens to be the town I was born in. We went to the famous Deception Pass Bridge and Mt. Erie, and then had lunch. The next day she visited me in Bellingham, where we went to church and I showed her around town. She then visited again in July. She and a friend of hers, Lori, rented a cabin in Glacier, not far from Mt. Baker. We went on a hike to overlook the Coleman Glacier. I fell in a stream near the top and banged my knee up. Belinda is a nurse and tended to me, but at first I did not think I could go on. I decided later I could, and joined her and Lori up at the viewpoint, and she appreciated the effort I made. We then hiked down, and she bought me dinner at one of the nicer restaurants in town. She also baked me some cookies. I was impressed with her generosity and wondered if things may be “happening”. The next day we went to a Seattle Mariners game with my church group, and Belinda bought me a birthday package with scoreboard recognition. After we parted company, I was driving home and the same thought occurred in my mind “I wonder”. I just thought that maybe something was going on.
The next weekend Belinda went to a singles retreat in British Columbia, just to my north. I was unable to attend. While she was there, she met someone that I graduated from high school with, someone I had not seen in 20 years. At first she wanted to give this woman my phone number and email address, so that maybe we could meet. But then she started feeling jealous, and realized that she had feelings (smile).
After exploring the possibility of dating, Belinda and I decided to officially become a dating couple two months later. When we met again, it was just after Christmas, and she and I and two of her friends rented a house in Leavenworth, Washington, the famous town on the A&E channel called “Holiday Town, U.S.A.”. And it was so romantic, there was snow, the town is a Bavarian style town nestled in the Cascade Mountains, the residents light up the town beautifully, and it snowed softly every day. There was Christmas music played from the town square, and kids were sledding everywhere, it was everything that I had wanted. In fact, this was the “ideal date” that I had written about in my profile. On January 1st, I proposed to Belinda, and we are getting married this November. Thank you ChristianCafe.com!

Steve and Heather Married Sep. 24th, 2005. Steve and I wanted to thank you for bringing us together. I had prayed for many years for a Godly man to come into my life. I felt God calling me to try out ChristianCafe.com and within a few days Steve wrote to me. We wrote to each other for one week and then met for the first time on November 8, 2003. We immediately fell in love and began to see each other every weekend, since we lived 1 hour away. Steve was attending the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and I also lived in Maryland and was attending a local college, Towson University.
On Christmas Day 2005, we got engaged! Then on September 24th 2005 we were married.
We now live in Florida, where Steve is attending flight school to become a pilot. We are very happy and give God all the glory!

Well it has been over 4 years now since I met my spouse on your site. All I can say is the Lord was in every bit of it. We have never been so happy or experienced what we do together in our whole lives.
We thank you ChristianCafe.com for giving us the means to meet each other. It has been a life changing experience.

Newfound friendship I have met many people on this site near and far. Some I stayed connected with, and some I haven't. Even though I met several men, none have I had a deep connection with till recently, a connection where you seem to know a person a long time. How amazing it is to find such a connection, where time and distance do not exist.
Thanks to the site and to God above all else, I have met someone who has become friend and confidant, and at times even a strength to me. For him I am thankful. : )
My prayer is that His Will be accomplished within this newfound friendship.
I can't tell you how thankful I am for this site connecting Carey and me. Truly His hand is in this. I pray for His wisdom as we walk by faith. We are HIS.
Blessings to all who work to keep this site running. God has used you to bring us together.
