Wow. Thank you for bravely stepping out and sharing your story. Transparency in our lives is a powerful testimony in the lives of others. Our God certainly is amazing!

Understand that we had not communicated at all in 10 or so years. My response was instantaneous that I would not let go of her this time. I had never had the same connection with anyone else, as I had with Callie. And that was what I wanted in a marriage, someone I had a real connection with. So when she called, I got immediately excited and amazed at the same time.

Also, after that “fateful” lunch in Searcy, AR, on the way home to study for the LSAT, I started laughing and crying with joy at the same time, when I heard that same voice of the spirit say “Told ya!”. Meaning, God told me that if I would wait on His timing, He would bring me someone that was the perfect match for me, spiritually, physically and emotionally.

As you can imagine, someone coming up from my past and bringing me back to Tennessee, really freaked out some of my friends, especially my pastor at the time. To satisfy him, we did not see each other one weekend after all this ignited, because he felt we needed a cooling off period. That’s one of a very few weekends that we have not been together since.

I have a wonderful and beautiful wife, who I love very much. I am very thankful for what God has done in our lives.
