AndeWood: All About Scott

Past:

Scott grew up in Rock City Falls , New York, near Saratoga Springs. He has been a volunteer Firefighter since he was 16 years old. He has one sister named Amberlee, who is considered an Irish Twin because they were born within one year of each other. He has a beautiful niece named Zaria, who will be turning 3 this month. Scott enlisted in the Navy after graduating High School in 2001, and moved down to Florida in 2005.

When Scott and I met in the Summer of 2009, we took our time to not only learn about one another, but to put God's Will first in in every decision, especially our relationship. After praying, fasting, devouring God's word, and pastoral advisement, we began a courtship as oppose to dating. As famously put by a wonderful book, we "Kissed Dating Goodbye" and courted one another with the intention of marriage; providing it was God's will for our future. During this time God enabled us with the tools and experiences necessary to move onward, and still is today. Scott proposed June 5, 2010, in St. Augustine, Florida.

Present:

Scott is currently a District Chief of the Volunteer Fire Department of the county he resides in. He is devoted and has a passion for being a public servant that I have been blessed to see first hand in action.

He works as a comfort adviser for a heating and cooling corporation providing service and sales, and keeps very busy and dedicated to both jobs.

Together we attend a Baptist Church to continually grow our relationship and faith in Jesus Christ. We love our church and feel as though God has placed us there during this time in our relationship in a magnificent way. Currently we have been involved in a marriage class with a Pastor and his wife that we have come to know and feel blessed to have the friendship of. We are studying God's teaching of marriage and the book "Love and Respect" by Dr. Emmerson throughout the course. This has been one of the most rewarding classes in the preparation of not only our marriage, but always growing relationship.

Future:

Scott aspires to continue as a public servant

in law enforcement. In the meantime he will continue as the Chief of the Fire Department, and working with the current corporation while we determine if God is leading us to plant our roots in Florida or venture back Up-North. This will be a big decision for both of us as God speaks His will for our future career's. Thankfully, we have been provided the opportunity to take one step at time in this process. Eventually, we both feel led to minister the Lord's word, whether it be in the United States or abroad.
