ÒYes, I do, Blake.Ó Esther replied. ÒMany wonderful things have happened since we first met,Ó she continued. ÒIt has been a real soul-searching experience for me. The experiences I had in the Philippines were so filled with the presence of the Lord; I know He is preparing me to do something exciting with my life. I have a feeling it is missionary work. He also knows how much I love you. Blake, I really want to spend my life with you, but God has to come first. I cannot ask you to wait for years before we marry, I have this feeling that my calling is not the same as yours.
