What a blessing indeed! I am happy for you both! <br />I often hear about that being the way how we often meet someone.

I do like the TD Jakes books and the recent one by Steve Harvey. I'm off sites and just smiling away at men who interest me at services, in the grocery store, coffee shops, etc.(this is tip in Love in 90 Days book)and I go to at least one event a week. Try it, you get a lot of return smiles which do turn into conversations, and then you can decide from there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925934256050681032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777959071118852789.post-11998465325346683882011-06-07T02:45:42.991-05:002011-06-07T02:45:42.991-05:00Wow Ella, beautifully put.

When I was a single mom I had trouble with wondering what He had in store for me too. It was kind of funny because one day, I finally decided to resign myself to just figuring out how to be happy without my "if, then" syndrome (like you obviously have done with such dignity.) <br /><br />It was so close to the very minute I let go of all that, a million tiny strings were pulled and bam! There was The One. We have been married for over six years now and each day is happier than the one before.... It was like the Lord was telling me, "All I wanted was for you to turn it over 100%." Really. It was a bona fide miracle.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17065921843809619618noreply@blogger.com
