so i am just going on with my day...
all of a sudden...
i was stopped in my tracks by someone i randomly met today...after hearing her story i was completely floored and realized this was no ordinary meeting...
her name is irrelevant but her story went something like this...she's about 60 years old, her husband died in the early 90's, didn't date for many many years, was encouraged to sign up for one of the popular dating sites, met prince charming on there who was a working musician...less than a year later gets married to prince charming. at first life was amazing and all seemed well. prince charming was what she had been looking for.
the story progresses...after a time prince charming started back up his business again, adult photography. for some reason he also felt ok to put the pics of the woman on the walls of there house for show. in less than a year he took all of this ladies money leaving her broke because the business wasn't doing so well and the working musician wasn't making what she thought he was. wait there is more, he slept around on her passing on 2 std's in which one is not curable...ultimately destroying the marriage and pretty much her life. ok take a breath...it was almost surreal this story and at times it was hard to understand her talking because of the tears and emotions she was reliving in front of me...
i sat there hearing her story in complete awe, but the funny thing is i wasn't to surprised. i have heard this story more than once...different names and different people but similar scenarios. i found myself incredibly interested in her story because i wanted to help her...i realized that i do have the answer in jesus. God is there always to guide the words and give someone life through you...i am so glad i met her and that God put her in my path...needless to say by the end of the conversation she was laughing and was ministered too.
it almost seems that God gives us open doors everyday if we are looking for them. we come across the paths of people who need jesus...He lives in us for others. and He can live through us if we will let Him...i am glad God entrusted me with this situation and i am confident that God moved in her life....
ok i'm done
going to bed good night

Wes...this is good stuff! It's so true. I like what you said.."He lives in us for others, and He can live through us if we will let Him". I like that. :)
BUT...what I like most is what you wrote about Smithers...:) Yes, God does have something so good for him! :)
