I met...My story is the flip-side of Chris Fabry’s. I met my husband over the phone. I had been divorced about five years and had kissed too many frogs. I told God, I wanted a man after His heart. <br />My future husband was a pastor who had just recently been divorced. I liked his spirit, but didn’t know a whole lot about him and figured he needed time to heal. He had other ideas. About three months into our relationship he planned the perfect evening…great Italian restaurant, red roses at our table and a “special” dessert. <br />When the chocolate piano arrived, inside was my engagement ring. But when he asked the question, I was speechless. So many thoughts raced through my mind…then finally, I said yes. I thought, “We will have a long engagement.”<br />That June, we arranged a trip for him to meet my father. Between the time we left town and when we arrived, my father had fallen in the shower at the assisted living facility, had a stroke and passed away. God is always on time. I lost one significant man, but He brought me another to help and support me through the loss. We were married in October.<br />This year, we will celebrate 18 years of marriage. My husband once told me, before I met you, God showed me your smile, and said I should love you. I’m so glad he obeyed and so glad I said yes.Pamelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893204038198431673.post-39050791616592694842012-07-19T14:06:12.871-07:002012-07-19T14:06:12.871-07:00I really think this is some sort of "social e...I really think this is some sort of "social engineering" experiment. Of course, you know exactly the consensus reaction. This is a manipulative sales technique to give the listener a self-generated affirmation. Why bait the unknowing with such a story. Is this some kind of pity-party? You made it sound like a major "life changing" event like abortion, murder or severe abuse. Those are big regrettable events. I'm sorry but this one set me over the edge. Life is not about making sure you are always having a "Hallmark moment." We do your best with the faith that was given us, and the trust that God knows how to take care of everything else. Again, I think your approach to this topic was manipulative and bogus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893204038198431673.post-41099370580588374812012-07-18T21:18:31.177-07:002012-07-18T21:18:31.177-07:00CONGRATULATIONS!

The first time he said I love you was over Yahoo IM.... I didn't say I love you back until several days later on the phone... after he said it again. I knew I loved him long before, I just wasn't prepared for it that minute so I waited. He did come down to OK (one of the 3 times we were together before we were engaged) and propose a month before I moved up here to plan the wedding. We were unofficially engaged for quite some time. Now it's 4 years later and we're finally expecting our first child this fall. God is good. Your relationship is another example of that! May you have many great and wonderful years in the future!Mrs Tracy Koehnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534387016777528542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893204038198431673.post-27473737352776381672012-07-18T08:01:23.189-07:002012-07-18T08:01:23.189-07:00She couldn't have chosen anyone better daddy!She couldn't have chosen anyone better daddy!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16480150122950935879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893204038198431673.post-17949606605952405222012-07-18T08:01:12.731-07:002012-07-18T08:01:12.731-07:00Happy Anniversary!
