My Angel

How do you know what life has in store for you? How can you know what a normal day can bring? How can you express what true love Is? God is the answer to all of these questions and more.

It all started many years ago. I was only seventeen. I had been to Church pretty much all of my life. I knew who God was and what he was able to do but I was young an just like a lot of young people, I was confused.

I wasn't staying at home a lot. I was staying with my brother. I didn't really feal the kind of love I thought I should at home, although I now know I was very much loved.

I met her late one night. I had just brought my brother's wife home from the store and as we pulled into the parking lot of the apartments where I was staying, she was there.

She was a vision of loveliness. She had a beautiful smile. I remember the kindness in her voice. Don't ask what makes one fall in love because I really don't know but I had. I was in love. I didn't find out until much later that she had fallen in love also on the very same night.

I met her parents and she and I dated for about a year. We never went far of or did anything fancy. Just to be together was enough.

After a year we got married. I had always hoped that someday I would meet the right person and we could form a happy family. I thank God that I was able to do just that.

What makes a marriage special? Well, praying for God's blessings on your union and saving yourselves for one another are two very important steps. Although temptation to be with each other in the way that married people are is very hard to resist, waiting until you are married is one of the best decisions you will ever make.

Life isn't always a bed of roses. It doesn't always work out the way you may want it to but I can tell you this. When you allow God to work out the problems in your life and wait for him to answer your prayers, He will be there for you even when you aren't as close to him as you feel you should be.

I met my wife, fell in love, and have had a wonderful daughter. Although we have had our share of problems and I feel sure we will have more, because no marriage is without problems, We love each other and both rely on God to work it out.

Just remember that God loved us so much that he sent his Son to die for us and that if you trust him he will make things work out for you.

He sent my own personal angel to share my life and love with and he will do the same for you.
