I Decided to Let God Find Me a Good Christian Woman

Back in 1981 I was in the US Navy and I was ready to settle down and get married but, my girlfriend at the time still wanted to play the field. I dumped my girlfriend and tried to find another girlfriend on my own but, I was unsuccessful. I started to read and meditate on Hebrews 11:1 every night before I went to bed. So since I was unsuccessful in finding a woman that I could have a serious relationship with and get married to. I decided to let God find me a good christian woman that I could fall in love with and get married to. One night while I was saying my prayers I told God that single life was boring. I then asked God to find me a good christian woman that I could fall in love with and get married to. I then Thanked God for finding me a good christian woman that I could fall in love with and get married. I kept thanking God and I also kept reading and meditating on Hebrews 11:1. I also let God take his time in finding me that good christian woman that I could fall in love with and get married to. In the summer of 1983 I was stationed in Lemoore Ca. I came home to put my belonging in storage in preparation for a deployment to the Western Pacific for a duration of 6-8 months. My brother asked me if I would like to go to a bible study and then to a movie. At the bible study I met a lady by the name of Donna and asked her if she would be my pen pal during the upcoming deployment. She agreeded and we swaped mailing addresses. When the deployment started she and I wrote letters when the ship was at sea. Once the ship was tied up to the pier I did 3 things for her before I spent any of my liberty on myself. I bought her a gift and mailed it to her, I had a teleflora order of flowers sent to her, and I called her on the phone. In September of 1983 the ship I was on left the Phillipine Islands and headed for the Indian ocean. Then in November of 1983 the ship had a major fire that killed 8 people and left the ship damaged. The Navy decided to cancel all of our liberty ports and keep us at sea. On January 1984 the ship got back to the Phillipine Islands after completing 121 continuous days at sea. I got off the ship and did the 3 things I usually did for her. When I called Donna I told her that I love her and proposed to her from a phone booth in the Phillipine Islands which was about 1800 miles from her. The ship got back to the states in February 1984. Three days after I got back to the states I walked down the aisle and got married to Donna. I also found out that Donna had won our honeymoon in a drawing at the grand opening of a Bridal store. While I was on deployment my car had got fire and burned up. I was also blessed with another car when I got back to the states. All of this is the answer to a prayer and shows that God still answer prayers. This all happened 38 years ago and we are still happily married.
