YOUR Love Story! Please Share!

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony."
Revelation 12:11
(KJV)

Just a reminder —
if you are planning to send us your love story, we would like to have them all in by tomorrow, January 25th, if at all possible!  If you can't get them in to us by then, please email and let us know that you are still definitely planning to submit your story.  There are still some of you who have mentioned that you would like to share your story that we haven't yet heard back from, and we just don't want to leave anyone out who may still want to participate!

We are so enjoying the entries that have been coming in and so look forward to sharing them with all of you beginning February 1st!!

It is amazing to read of how God has worked in the lives and stories of others!  I never cease to be amazed at His providential care and how He orchestrates the finest details of the lives of those who put their trust in Him.  

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths."  Proverbs 3:5-6

For those of us who have been married for a long time, it is so easy to look back and see how God has done that very thing, and it is an encouragement for the younger generation to see how faith in Him has been the source of the longevity of our marital relationships.  

So, please, do pray about and consider sharing your story.  You just never know who needs to read it or who will find the exact help and encouragement they need by reading how God has blessed and brought you through!  God has a way of turning our tests into our testimonies, and someone out there needs to hear how He has turned YOUR tests into the shining testimony the two of you live out today!

We hope to hear from you soon!

  1. Oh Cheryl, I now have the flu and don’t think I can participate. I just got over a sore throat and cough, but took myself to the doctor this morning and tested positive. I pray I get over this soon. Love and blessings to you.

  2. Cheryl, I would so love to share, but our family is going through a bit of uncertainty at this time, and I don't feel like I can commit to anything outside of just getting my own blog posted. Looking forward to reading everyone's story!
    Blessings!
