There are similarities for sure. But I moved away from him back here to Texas after high school. I worked for my other sister and later as a lease analyst for an oil company. I lived on my own for a while.
The oil business crashed back then. I was saved before I moved back. In fact a man where I worked was the one who witnessed to me shortly before I was saved.
My husband and I attended the same church when we were younger, but being saved wasn't their teaching. It was a more liberal church.
Its a long story, but I was saved first and although he was the stronger personality and I did adore him, I had to be the spiritual leader at first. God dealt him a hard blow early though and he gave his life to the Lord after we married.
