Wow Doc, I had no idea our lives mirrored one another so closely. For I too knew my future husband back when we were 15-16 years of age and I went from being taken care of by my parents to being a young wife. The day I was standing outside my home with a group of my girlfriends, did a group of young men drive by and upon seeing us, did they stop the car and one very handsome boy leaned out the window and said to us..."Have you girls been saved?"

Now as spiritual as that may have sounded, the truth was that this young man, who had been raised in a religious household was no more witnessing to us than I was to him when I flashed my baby blues at him with a smile. For I too was raised in a religious upbringing but without knowing Christ as my Savior.

I personally do not see anything wrong with being taken care of by another person. I would like to think that I took just as good of care of my young husband as he did me. It's not just one person giving and the other taking. That may be part of what undying love for one another is. But what I later came to understand about our type of love, was that I also gave god type status to him as well. I basically worshiped the ground he walked on. He could do no wrong in my eyes.

It wasn't until he was dying at an early age did I truly seek the One, True God. I needed to know that there was someone more powerful than death itself, who was looking out for me, my husband and child. And because Christ came into my life one night as I prayed for Him to reveal Himself to me, I became a new creation in Him. It was so apparent that my own husband finally asked me what had changed in me. I had not yet told him about my encounter with Christ because I thought he would mock me. But when he asked why I seemed different, I finally told him about Christ speaking to me and telling me to read my bible. I shared as well that I felt His presence with me and how I cried real tears of joy for the first time in my life. And because my husband was very ill and possibly dying, he eagerly listened to my story and believed me. He even had me start reading the bible to him every day.

It's so wonderful that our faith has grown through the years as God spiritually takes care of His widows. It's also wonderful that we have other christians in our lives that look out for us and grow with us. (even if they don't always understand us) We are not alone. :)
