Dillon engaged the previous thread was getting long, and now with official confirmation, i thought i would start a new thread on the topic. shane barnard and bethany dillon are engaged! personally, i am quite happy for the both of them and am excited to see how God will bless them in the future. quote from Bethany Dillon's web-journal, entry dated July 22: Bethany Dillon wrote: Anyway… I got a phone call from my Mama yesterday morning on our way to the airport that sweet Jon and Sherri Rivers on their weekend countdown show spilled the beans before I got to! I’m ENGAGED! I can’t wait to share with y’all about it… the shows I’ve been doing the past month have been pretty funny… people noticing SOMETHING on my finger… a ring, maybe? : ) And, honestly, in the chaos of the past month, I’ve thought multiple times about sitting down and writing a journal about it… and have really thought out how to first share it with all of you… because, no matter how cheesy it sounds, all of you who are part of the community here in Beth’s Journal Land, and those who so faithfully make it out to shows and say hi to my brother and I – we consider you dear, dear friends. And, even beyond that, family. We all are attached to and captivated by the same Unsearchable God… our hearts crying out in one voice, “ABBA!” So, my sweet family, there’s my news! BIG news, I know… but my heart was to share it with you here instead of you hearing about it elsewhere… for you to know that you are welcomed into this story and that our heart is to share all of the God-ordained sweetness of it with you! OH! Ok… so I bet you’re wondering who it is! Well, for about ten months now, Shane Barnard and I have been seeing each other… as most of you know, I’ve been friends with that whole Shane & Shane crew for about four years… and he has always, always been a kindred spirit. So last fall, after lots of seeking His heart, we started dating… which looked very different, since he was touring and I was writing and recording. But, by the mighty grace of God, it GREW… and a living analogy of His pursuit of the Church, His bride, began! (Are y’all thinking about those mysterious love songs on the new record? Now you know!) I don’t think I’ve shared much about my thoughts on dating before… or, even finding the person that He desires you to build the Kingdom with… the person to spend your life with. Probably the biggest reason was because I’d never really dated! But, He really had set my heart on just being satisfied in Him FIRST… before I ever entered a relationship with someone else. Last summer was when I went to spend ten days in India… came back and was totally and completely wrecked… seeing and loving Jesus better than I ever had in my life. What a sovereign thing that Shane happened right after that. : ) Gosh… there are so many things I’ve learned about the Lord’s heart for me through Shane… I wish I could sit with you over a cup of coffee right now and share them all! Maybe more songs will happen and I can better share that way. : ) The semi-shortened version is this: I’m getting hitched to the Godliest, humblest, sweetest man on the planet! What a blessing to get to share my life with the best friend I’ve ever had! He and I both have just shook our heads at it… we are SO undeserving of something as good as this! Well, I know I am, at least. I’ve never dated anyone besides Shane, and I totally believe that to be the provision of God in my life… YET… I know lots of people who have dated a bunch before finding their spouse, and it’s just as ordained by Him! We have leaned in as close as we possibly could to hear what He would say… where He would lead. And this is it! Shane and I are so excited to be walking in obedience… walking in the direction of what He has prepared for us. What an adventure the Christward life really is! : ) Oooh, what a difference a year can make, huh? : ) My poor Mama… Bub’s getting married in October, and then I drop this on her! Haha! But it’s been so good… Shane is actually flying here to Ohio tomorrow afternoon to spend a few days with the whole zoo of my family… I’m so excited to see him! We both head out for fall tours in a month, which will definitely be a growing time for us. He’s really impressing on the both of us how to be satisfied in HIM first… and we’ve been forced to learn that since we only see each other about once a month… He knows what He’s doing. : ) And to answer the last question y’all may have for now… we’re both touring through next spring, and still looking at dates and considering when would be the best time to get married and have TIME to be married before we head back out on the road. If you think about it, we would covet your prayers in making a decision! We want only what He wants for us.

I'm not gonna lie, when I first heard about them engaged I was completely grossed out. Grossed is a bad word to use, but she looks 15, and Shane is 32. But as my friend and I conversed about it on the phone (we've been HUGE fans of Shane for awhile and she's had a massive crush on him all those years) we both agreed that personality wise, we're super excited for them. Bethany is sold out for Christ, untainted by previous relationships, great writer and passionate person of kindness. Shane has never failed to be a brilliant example of humility and sweetness. So OF COURSE they should be united in marriage. The age thing is the ONLY thing that freaks us out. BUT, she's young and sweet and again, untainted by lost loves, broken hearts and is so focused on the Lord because of it. Shane is older and so wise and so sincere after much struggle and pursuit of the Lord. How perfect a union. Kudos to you both, CUTEST kids ever will come out of this (although shane everett's olive is perfect!). Yeah, I'm on board, why not, y'all both rule! Heather D _________________ peace, Heather D

How is it bad at all actually? It's just an age. One is more than likely to die before the other, that is all. _________________ http://www.pwickham.com
