Tuesday, September 23, 2008 The "1" What Your Engaged? Are you sure? Wait, How old are you? There are so many females why settle for one? Why? Ahhh that’s great! Good luck with that…Wait, Why again?? That’s Cool!! .. Well how do you know you’ve found “The One “??? All typical conversations I go through now being engaged. No matter who or wherever I’m conversing with someone if the subject that I’m engaged comes up it usually leads down the path of these responses. Here and Now, I will concentrate on the last question which seems to come up the most. How do you know you‘ve found “The ONE”. I ’m always tempted to answer the question with “I don’t I’m just gonna try my LUCK and see how it goes “. Although being the closest thing to the TRUTH that answer always seems as if it would draw an entertaining response back, even though that is the reality that most people asking that question are living in as they speak. The answer most people are content with is “You Just Know” so that’s usually what I give them but the Real answer goes much deeper than that. One thing Candace and I established early in our relationship was that we were each other’s # 2’s with Jesus being each of our # 1 ( Not a bad person to come in second place to.) Once, we noticed in each other that we both had already found “THE ONE” it was very easy for us to slide into our vacant # 2 spots. The Cool thing about Jesus being in your #1 spot is that there is no higher standard that your #2 can ask of you that isn’t already required of you. So if you find someone that is fully submitted to that #1 spot it’s very easy to know if you’ve found “The One “ or not …”You just Know”!!!!… In my eyes LUCK is when Preparation meets Opportunity… L.U.C.K. – Laboring Under Correct Knowledge My questions: Who are you preparing for, someone who knows “THE ONE” or someone you want to be “THE ONE”???? Who are you trying your LUCK on?? WRITE IT DOWN FOR YOURSELF!! ~ Tommy Write on your Heart: Matthew 6:33

A loving compilation of their blog posts, B.L.O.G. to Marriage chronicles the couple’s year-long journey of joys and challenges as they sought to honor God and seek His blessing in every aspect of their lives.

They’ll also remind you of the importance of communication, humility, discipline, and love, both to one another and to God.
