My sister is courting!

My sisters and I have known for quite awhile now that one of our dear sisters, H is downright dippy about this guy that we know. She tried hard to hide it and though she never downright told us, we just knew. We are her sisters, plus they seemed to be just a natural match. We watched intently to try to detect signs of partiality on J's side and while we saw several convincing signs, we just weren't sure and didn't want to be presumptuous. We just watched and waited while we secretly all talked about it.

On Sunday, J approached our father, got permission to start a courtship on Tuesday and then asked H if she was willing on Wednesday. She said yes, and they have been talking tons ever since, as well as chatting, fishing, being around our family and his, delivering hay, etc. It has been different having a sister in a courtship; I've been through 3 brothers courtships, but a sister is just different.

It is exciting to see God working in their lives like this!
