In the Student Union

Rick asked me to marry him

this afternoon again, but this time

it was really serious & the Lord

told me I needed to answer and make

a decision.  I began to pray quietly

& then Rick began to pray & the

H.S.’s presence was very real with us.

I talked to the Lord extensively

about this decision (2nd in

importance only to accepting Jesus

in my heart) & he said “yes.”

So I finally was able to say

yes after Rick asked me something

else & I said “yes.”  But I told him

it wasn’t yes to something else but

to marriage.  All he could do was pray

and keep his head down.  We both felt

so weak & without any strength

in ourselves. The Lord told me

it is only “in him” that we

could do and be anything for His

glory.  If we keep looking to

Him & coming to Him, He’ll

be able to do with us as he pleases.

Amen.  I’ll never forget

this day for the rest of my

life. The Lord had, and has

everything under control!

Thank you Jesus!
