After about a year of being a single Mom of 4 beautiful kids, I was mentally exhausted and needed a break. I called my sister in the Poconos of Pennsylvania where she lived and asked her if I could drop my 4 kids off so I could go see my Dad in NY. Of course, she said, “no problem.” I drove a couple of hours to her house, dropped my kids off and off to Long Island I went.
When I got to my Dads house, I wanted to go to a local club that evening and he was not up to going with me so I looked one up in the yellow pages. I told my Dad, “I’ll go to this place alone. I don’t care. I just need some relief.” I walked into this place alone and ordered a beer. Then, I walked over to the dance floor. As i was dancing on the dance floor, I looked over by the front and saw a really handsome man walk in. He got my attention. He and his friend went over to the bar. I followed after him. His friend hit on me but I was not interested. I asked him, ” hey, who is your friend? ” and he introduced us. That was the beginning of the best of my life. By the end of the night we could not stop talking and so we exchanged phone numbers. Over a week later, he finally called me.
It turns out, he left my number in his friends car who he didn’t see for a few days. When he finally called, we arranged for him to come see me at my home that weekend in Pa. He was a complete gentleman and slept on the couch downstairs. My kids were upstairs. Our conversation continued the entire weekend getting to know each other. Within 3 months, he moved in with me and my kids. I trusted him completely. No I was not going to church at the time. I do not recommend or will encourage shopping for a man in a bar to anyone. I’m just being honest how things progressed.
After a year and a half, we decided to get married and that was 21 years ago. The absolute best decision I have ever made. He gave his heart to Jesus within a year of us living together and we were married shortly thereafter. He was baptized a few years later. This man I married is totally committed to me and my family and has been a hard working man who loves my kids and now our grandchildren. My entire family loves him because of how good he has been to us. I am so grateful to God for sending him to me so quickly after my divorce.
We have been through so much chaos over the years especially in the beginning. That is a huge reason why we decided to begin this journey with Success From The Source. We have learned so much and came through victoriously in the worst of the worst stressful situations.
