THE LORD SPOKE TO ME A
WHILE AGO.
HE SAID, GIVE ME YOUR
HEART.
TRUST ME WITH YOUR HEART,
AND THEN I'LL MAKE SURE THAT
THE PERSON THAT I GIVE IT TO
IS TRUSTWORTHY.
BOTH OF MY SISTERS GOT
MARRIED IN THEIR EARLY
20s, AND HERE I WAS CLOSE
TO 40.
BUT EACH DAY YOU GOES BY,
AND YOU SAY I MUST BE
ANOTHER DAY CLOSER.
WE HAD BEEN WORKING
TOGETHER FOR ABOUT, WHAT, 12
YEARS?
UH-HUH.
SHE WAS ALWAYS MY BEST
FRIEND.
I REALIZED, I CAN REALLY
USE THIS AS A SEASON TO PRAY
TO GOD, TO MAKE ME WHAT I
NEEDED TO BE, SO THAT
WHENEVER HE SENT THE PERSON
HE HAS FOR ME, I WOULD BE
WHOLE AND COMPLETE.
I WAS IN CALIFORNIA, AND
I WAS PRAYING.
AND I WASN'T EVEN THINKING,
AND THE LORD PUT HER IN MY
SPIRIT.
IT WAS, LIKE, I WANT YOU TO
CONSIDER HER.
IT WAS WEIRD.
IT WAS LIKE, MAN, REALLY,
GOD?
I DIDN'T SEE HIM THAT
WAY.
HE DIDN'T SEE ME THAT WAY.
I CALLED HER, AND SHE WAS
MAD AT ME AT THE TIME.
I SURE WAS.
I WAS LIKE, I KNOW YOU'RE
MAD AT ME, BUT I REALLY WANT
YOU TO -- I WANT YOU TO PRAY
ABOUT EACH OTHER.
I'M NOT GOING TO PRAY FOR
YOU RIGHT NOW WITH YOU.
BUT HE SAID, NO, NO, NO.
I'M REALLY ASKING YOU IF YOU
SEE SOMETHING IN ME THAT YOU
THINK REQUIRES GROWTH, I'M
ASKING YOU AS A FRIEND, WILL
YOU PRAY FOR ME.
AND SO WE STARTED
PRAYING.
IN THE MIDST OF PRAYING,
SOMETHING HAPPENED.
IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING CAME
IN THE CAR OR SOMETHING.
BECAUSE I JUST -- WOW.
YOU EVER SEEN THOSE CARTOONS
BACK IN THE DAY, WHERE
SOMEONE SHOT THE CARTOON
CHARACTER WITH AN ARROW, AND
ALL OF A SUDDEN HE LOOKED AT
IT.
WHAT I CALL A SCOOBY-DOO
MOMENT, WHEN GOD KIND OF
REVEALED THAT IT WAS HIM.
I WAS LIKE, HUH?
AS SOON AS I SAID, LORD, I
BRING TO YOU MY FRIEND, I
JUST STARTED BALLING AND
BALLING AND BALLING.
AND SO NOW I'M CRYING, HE'S
CRYING.
IT WAS SO WEIRD.
I WAS TALKING TO HER AND ALL
OF A SUDDEN IT'S LIKE GOD
TAKES ME AND UNCOVERS ME AND
MAKES ME TRANSPARENT AND
VULNERABLE.
IT WAS LIKE HE SAW GOD
TAKE HIS HEART AND HAND IT
TO ME.
AND TOLD HIM YOU CAN TRUST
HER WITH IT.
AND AFTER THAT -- BECAUSE WE
USED TO FUSS A LOT.
AND AFTER THAT, EVERYTHING
CHANGED.
IT CHANGED.
IT IS AMAZING.
BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF IT
WAS THE TRUST FACTOR.
A LOT OF IT WAS TRUST.
A LOT OF IT WAS FEAR.
SHE WAS PLUSES TO MINUSES I
DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I HAD.
IT HAPPENED SO FAST.
WE GOT ENGAGED, AND FOUR
MONTHS LATER WE WERE
MARRIED.
* YOU SAID YES TO ME
* YOU SAID YES TO ME
*
AND I THANK GOD THAT WE
GOT MARRIED *
* WE GOT MARRIED
THERE IS HOPE.
THERE IS NO AGE LIMIT ON
MARRIAGE, ON LOVE.
THERE'S NO LIMIT.
GOD KNOWS THE DESIRES OF OUR
HEARTS, AND HE IS FAITHFUL
TO GIVE US THE DESIRES OF
OUR HEART THAT WILL LINE UP
WITH HIS WILL.
IF YOU JUST TRUST GOD,
HE'LL LEAD YOU.
BECAUSE GOD IS WISER.
HE IS SMARTER THAN US.
WHEN IT IS ALL SAID AND
DONE, EVERYTHING DOES COME
BACK TO OUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH GOD, AND ESTABLISHING Ap
GENUINE RELATIONSHIP, NOT A
RITUAL, NOT AN OBLIGATION,
BUT A GENUINE RELATIONSHIP.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE HONEST WHEN
YOU TALK TO GOD, AND SAY
THIS IS HOW I FEEL.
I'M SCARED.
I'M MAD.
I'M FRUSTRATED.
AND JUST TALK TO HIM LIKE A
FRIEND, AND YOU'LL BE
SURPRISED WHAT HE DOES.
* AND I'M SO GLAD YOU SAID
YES TO ME *
* YOU SAID YES TO ME
