To all you married couples keepGod first but DON'T forget your spouse is next in line, not your ministry, notyour work, not your money , not your kids, not your mama.. Nope it's yourspouse!!! And single people Seek God first and he will bring you the love ofyour life!

April 6th 2006
I was devastated
Someone I thought had loved me for16 yrs. proved on that day he didn't.
I was angry, hurt and grew bittereven a little upset at God. ( just being real here)

Oct 2006
Broken & Divorced

Nov. 2006 enlightened by God
And I vowed to make Him myhusband.

Dec. 2006
My mom says to me I've been addinga bunch gospel music people to my Myspace and I came across Mike Bowling and saw Kenny Hinson's son and I added him, you should add him too. I shot a weirdlook at her and said "ok why?" She said "Well.. he lost his dadat a young age, he might like to hear stories you have of your dad and Kennyacting goofy. On my way out the door she stops me to look at his page, I say okmom and I rush out the door. I didn't add him right away. I added him eitherlate dec or first of Jan. it was late one night when I was listening to theHinson's so I emailed Weston and shared with him a story about his dad. Heemailed me back and I responded to that email. Then he kept emailing me. I toldmom he emailed me, she said huh... That's funny I emailed him too and he neveremailed me back? Then she looked at me and smiled.

Feb 2007
Talking to Weston regularly
About life, his dad, family music& God, and sometimes our love life,
he liked a girl and I was givinghim ideals how to get her... Lol!
He hinted at dating me but I wasjust divorced with 2 kids and older than him, so as much as I liked him. I saidI don't think so you're too young.
We talked every night on the phonesometimes for 6 hours at a time!
He lived in Houston and I lived 5hrs away near Dallas. So we still had not met. Well in Feb he was so romanticwith the girl he liked but she rejected him.. I felt sorry for him and justthought to myself young girl .. You just made a big mistake. He's a keeper. Buthe got over it pretty quick.

I had been talking to someone inFL. Named Rodney who was a very nice Christian man who wanted to come down andmeet me but one night we were talking and Rodney said " Christy, I don'tknow if God has us in each others lives to just be friends or more but God toldme to tell you something , I said ok.. What ? God said to tell you that you canbe specific when you pray for your mate in life, whatever you want him to beyou can ask for. Now that being said should I take the trip up there in 2 weeksto meet you? Right away I knew and I said no you shouldn't. He said that's whatGod was telling me.
I shared this with Weston and ofcoarse he had been talking to me about letting him come down and meet me and myfamily and maybe doing a little Jam session, so when I told him that Rodney andI decided not to meet.
He said so you should let me comedown! I said when? He said how about in 2 weeks?
I laughed and said ok.

I went to work the next day and atmy desk I said that prayer the specific prayer.... and I was specific
God, I want a man that will loveyou first, because if he loves you first he will know how to love me, I wanthim to understand ministry and my love for music, I want him to play thekeyboard, and sing, I want him to be tall and have dark hair, and green eyes.And I want him to Adore me. Amen

I never told Weston what I prayedfor and in the next week or so we were having a conversation and he said"Christy, you know if you were ever to date me .. You wouldn't be firstwith me" I went well... Ok I guess...I said I was use to that before... Hesaid No...not like that God would be first, you would be right after him. In mymind I went ( man why did he have to say that ... He's too young) but Check! #1 on my list!!!
Weston and I talked about God andscripture a lot and I thought to myself he puts most people my age to shamewith his knowledge of the bible and God. He put ME to shame! I loved that abouthim right away.

Well it was almost time for him tocome meet me, my kiddos, and my family, I had set up a jam session at a localchurch for Saturday thanks to some great friends ( The Messengers out ofGreenville Tx) they were joining us!
He had to work and couldn't comeuntil late Friday night March 9th 2007
So I had a little shop outside myhouse I told him he could stay In there.
I put him up an air mattress andwaited for him to arrive.
He did and it was like I'd alwaysknown him. I felt very comfortable.
Still just feeling the good friendvibe though. But wow was he tall! Check!
He brought me 8 Hinson CDS whichwas like the best gift ever to me! Wasn't on my list but Check!
Then we watched videos of his dadand family and we laughed and cut up until early morning hours.


March 10th 2007
Later that morning, I went to the shop and woke him upto tell him "we are going to eat the best biscuits and gravy you ever had..we are going to my dads house."
He had come in the house ready togo and I ran back in my closet to get something when what I thought I heard wasa Cd playing, but it was Weston on my Keyboard
I never knew he played thekeyboard??
Very pretty too I might add!Check!
So we went to my dads Weston wentout and played basketball with my girls it was great seeing them having fun, wehad been through a tough time this last year. I loved watching them laugh andplay.
My dad smiled at me as he lookedout and said you know daughter he's a really nice looking guy he looks like anddad names off one of my all time favorite actors I loved! ( and I'm not suredad knew that)
I was like yeah maybe a little. Thendad grins at me and I say Dad.. He's too young.. Dad says "he looks like agrown man to me, how tall is he?"
I said oh only 6'5 1/2 is all..LOL!

Then we were off to the church tosing and play!
We got there, my step dad wasgrinning ear to ear he was a huge Kenny Hinson fan. And when I was talking toWeston but refusing to date him, he was like "don't you go and mess thisup!" And he would laugh.( he was just aggravating me it was a joke)
Well we started singing and havinga blast the Messengers had a live band and knew every Hinson song imaginable!Weston wasn't taking his eyes off me, it almost made me blush .. And I did getsome butterflies too ill admit! Well while I was headed to the bathroom , Joannthe lead singer of the messengers was following close behind me, fast like shewas trying to catch up to me actually whispering loudly " Christy, Christy, hey...and I turned and said yes? She said how long have y'all been dating? Isaid we're not. She said well I don't know about you... But that man up thereAdores you! I look back and Weston is looking at me with that very cutesmile...I say to myself.. Oh man another Check!
We had a great time, my parentsloved him, my kids loved him, the messengers loved him!
I had to get him back to my housebecause he had to drive back to Houston that night because he played Drums forhis home church.
I put the girls to bed ( or triedtoo..)
Then Weston and I sat for a littlebit before he had to go ... He reached out and took my hand and held it as wetalked and then it was like no words were needed we sat quietly for a while...I could tell he didn't want to leave and I was surprised at my feelings Ididn't want him to leave either, I felt I had known him forever and I wouldmiss him so much when he was gone. I wasn't even sure when he could make thatlong trip back again.
Then before I knew it he leanedover and kissed me! CHECK! ;) LOL!
( By the way he wrote our firstkiss in his bible) I love that!!

When he drove away I felt so sadyet so happy at the same time.
Of coarse Sundays were busy and Idon't remember if we even got to talk, but I do remember Monday at work on mylunch break
Weston called me and he wanted toask me something, I said ok go ahead
He said " well I don't takekissing someone lightly, I mean its not just something I do , I'm not like mostguys
( in my mind I am saying to myselfMr. Hinson I know you are not and I love that) Then he asked the big question;) can we be exclusive ?
Like not date anyone but eachother?
I'll be honest ... That scared mea little bit, but it didn't scare me near as bad as saying no , him feelingrejected and me never seeing him again...
God spoke to me.. Christy, He'swhat you prayed for, and if you say no to him, You will lose him.
 So I said yes!

Nov.1st 2007
8mo.s later when he asked me tomarry him I said yes again!
And today I am married to my talldark haired, green eyed, keyboard player, drummer, guitar picker, heart meltingsinger, My ministry minded man who puts God first, me second , my lovinghusband and my very best friend !!!

That's just part of our story Ican't wait for the rest God is taking us places!!

I Love you Weston Hinson

  1. Wow. That was beautiful. If only every young man and woman had these high standards, I think the world would be a better place.

    Just a funny to share... I had a crush on Kenny when I was a child. His girlfriend at the time, Merita, worked for my dad. I can't remember where we all went but my sister and I got to ride with Kenny and Larry. We were both so giddy. I claimed Kenny for me and she took Larry. LOL. We were probably ten years old or younger. But I have never forgotten. =)

    My family loves the Hinson family! All of you'll.

  2. So wonderful and sweet. Why couldn't that have happened to me? I prayed for a man that would love God and tolerate my pets. The man I met and married was a christian, but couldn't tolerate my pets. We were separated after just two years, and now two years later, we are still separated with not much hope in sight. I lost a very good paying job b/c of this marriage and I am really struggling emotionally and financially. I am praying and seeking God, but I just don't know where he is. I pray that, just like the McKamey's song, he will show up "right on time". God bless you both.
