God used to her in my life....




Although 700 Club is my LEAST favorite show on television, I saw this on facebook... and I knew this woman in this video.
This is my story.......

Dennis and I were in the first year of marriage.. and it was HARD. We were separated, and we were on the fast track to divorce.

Dennis asked me to go with him for a few days to Suffolk to visit some Godly friends, Larry and Tammy. I agreed to go. We stayed for a couple days there. One night, Tammy told me that she wanted all of us to to go out to dinner to a mexican restaurant with some friends: Karen and Ronnie. (the woman in this video)

After dinner, the other two couples were holding hands and being happy, Dennis and I walked about three feet apart... I was angry, he was unhappy, and I felt, hopeless.

As we were nearing the car, I started to cry. Karen was very abrupt with me and told me to get over it, that God wanted me to have a holy marriage, and I began to plead my case that Dennis was rough, angry, violent, and on an on........
She then told me a story very very similar to the one she tells in this video... and I cried harder, and harder... it was then that I think I knew that this marriage was salvageable...

I knew that after all that she had been through, that surely God could redeem this marriage... and he did, God was faithful.

So to see her on the 700 Club telling her testimony was such a great moment for me because I know that this woman is truly the woman that got through to a 20 year old, hard headed, cold hearted child scared in the midst of a bad bad marriage.

Thank you Karen!!
