Dear Friends,


I am beyond thrilled to share a very special session with Ciera + Christian, our Sukkot 2025 couple. Let me tell you, these two are absolutely stunning — every girl wanted Christian, and every guy wanted Ciera — because of how beautiful they are. But today, I’m not here to talk about the outside (though it’s breathtaking). I want to talk about their hearts, their interior — the places where God’s hand has clearly been at work.


Christian carries a certain strength and militant swagger. When you speak with him, you feel it — this quiet power, this unwavering confidence. But it’s tempered with tenderness, a softening that comes from God’s work in him. Ciera, on the other hand, exudes a quiet strength of her own. There’s a gentle fierceness in her — a mild bout of feminism that never crosses into the worldly, but always carries authority, grace, and the unmistakable presence of Father within her. You see it the moment she enters a room. She’s a leader, a mentor, a true queen in every sense of the word.


Last year, Abba showed me that Christian + Ciera would be together. At the time, I couldn’t speak on it fully, because Father was still completing work inside of Ciera. That same season, we participated in The Year of the Bride fast with Prophetess Tiphani, seeking Father’s guidance and protection over her heart. And now, just a few months later, here they are — united by the One who brought them together.


We did a small couple’s session at the SDA Lake Whitney camp site, a quiet, intimate moment to celebrate their love and to remind young women that when you’re not looking, God is still orchestrating His plans. He will find you, shape you, and bring you the one He has prepared.


This session is a reflection of that divine timing and divine love:


“He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.” — Proverbs 18:22

“Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away.” — Song of Solomon 8:7

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11



Ciera and Christian, you two are a testimony to God’s perfect timing and His meticulous hand in bringing hearts together. May this love only grow stronger as you continue to honor Him in your marriage.


With love and admiration,

Rae De Lain
