Valentine's Day with Terry "A Romantic Comedy"

As I write this, it brings back so many years of Valentine's Days with Terry. It was 21 (almost 22) years ago in Oct 1989 that I met this great guy in Weatherford, Texas. He worked in radio, I was in cable TV. I think it was love at first site, but I was so afraid of getting hurt (again).  It was so funny that I wasn't even looking for anyone and God literally put Terry in front of me (he was in the crosswalk by the radio station in Weatherford) and I had to wait for him to cross over...I kept revving my engine (I drove a Porsche) acting like I was going to run him over..LOL. (looking back I was being quite a tease).  I can still see him being silly...he made me laugh out loud that day and ever since!!  I was instantly attracted to him (he was and still is sooo cute)...but I was leary.

I really sought the Lord's guidance after we met.  I wanted our relationship to be from Him.  And it was and is!! We dated less than 2 months when Terry asked me to marry him on Dec 3rd, and we were married just a few weeks later on Jan 14th, 1990.  I'm so glad I stepped out on faith and followed my heart and married this wonderful and Godly man.  Terry seeks God's heart and wisdom everyday, and is the man God put in not only my life, but my children's (Bryan and April). We have 4 "perfect" grandsons that love him too so much (he's Papaw/Pops). I'm a very blessed and thank God daily for Terry,  family, and friends.

I love being married to my best friend who allows me to be me and loves me in spite of me (LOL).  He coined the phrase for us as "A Romantic Comedy".  We love to laugh!! (In fact, that's one of our email addresses). We just don't take life so seriously...we're only here for a little while before the Lord takes us "home" so why not enjoy each other and not let pride and principle get in the way of your marriage/relationships.

Don't let the weight of this world weigh you down. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. Acknowledge Him with your whole heart and he will guide your paths" (Sally's paraphrase of Prov 3:5,6)

I hope you have a wonderful and fun day with your sweetheart today (Terry and I are going for an early dinner, getting xrays for my broken arm and blood tests..ray, fun, fun huh).  If you're still looking for that special one, seek the Lord, ask Him and keep asking to send the ONE He wants you to have. Always keep Jesus in the center of your life.  I pray that God will bless you like he has me, and so many other couples around me that God has brought together.

Happy Valentine's Day and don't forget 24/7 while you search the web or work, you can listen to our Internet station.. http://www.LiteRockonline.com. Just click it on anytime...thx for your support by doing so :)
