m-'86', w-5/31/96, son '89', two daughters '90' & '92'. Home schooled until last year when I realized I needed to process and grieve; surrounded by wonderful Godly friends and family; love craft, scrapbook, photography, reading, contemporary Christian music, spending time with my children; recently felt God's peace in my life and know that He has GREAT things for me! I am active in a non-denominational church and Young Life. Oct. 00, the Lord blessed me with a wonderful Godly husband! After 3 1/2 years of being a widow, the Lord led me to focus on who He wanted me to be. I committed to 6 months of doing a Bible study on who I am in Christ along with not thinking about dating, relationships or anything like that. The Lord put a very casual friend on my heart about 5 1/2 months into this committment. He understood that I had to wait and we started a courtship not too long after my 6 months. A year later we got married! The Lord is so awesome! I know now that He wanted me to use my widowhood to focus on Him and become who He wanted me to be.

b-'47', m-'72', w-'2000'. I have one son, '79', who still lives at home. I have 3 older daughters and 11 grandkids. I belong to an independent, fundamental, Baptist Church. I miss my husband of 27 years. He was my best friend, comforter, confidante, shoulder to lean on, arms to hug, a smile that would not quit. I enjoy reading good gospel books and listening to good gospel music. I have lived in AZ ever since we got stationed here from Germany in 1985. Have been a born again Christian for over 40 years. . . . God is so very gracious, He brought to me a wonderful man in 2005. We were married in Jan. 2006. He is a Baptist Pastor here in AZ. An update on my kids, I now have 15 grandkids. My son married a wonderful girl in 2005 and now has a darling daughter. David & I met on the net at eharmony.com. God is very merciful and gracious.

b-'54', m-'82', w-'9/02'. My wife and best friend died suddenly. My only comfort is that she is with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to no longer suffer in this world. Perfect and eternal joy and peace are hers. We were born again and married 20 years ago and were rarely apart. It feels so lonely and sad sometimes that it is almost unbearable. I've gone to Calvary Chapel for the last 7 years and hope to get back into studying classical, steel string acoustic, and electric guitar. Any prayers or wisdom much appreciated!
