About the Authors:
Angela is an inspirational writer in her free time. She’s a full time wife, mother, employee and part time student seeking her highest degree in Psychology and minor in Writing. Enjoying writing and good reading she found herself at the age of 34 beginning what is to be a very prominent part of her life. It was the vision of her friend which brought about “Crossing Paths†so she birthed it. There are many true facts in the book concerning the couple’s circumstances each time their paths crossed and the love they share. Sometimes the best things in life are so close we can reach out and touch it, also behind that there are mysteries to unfold. Find the beauty and love in where you are before exploring this great big world, learn to cherish the things around you. It’s like the saying goes, you never knew what you had until it’s gone. Clarence and Angela were able to capture that special plan before time passed them by. I pray you too are just as fortunate.
No one, only here to network...but if I had to find the words they would be...That man of God whos rib formed me to the woman I am :-), in other words that ONE which considers me his better half and make me his wife. After all, "he who finds a wife finds a good thing, and receives favor from the Lord". Men, love is in ONE woman...not many. Choose that ONE woman that you find to be your better half and be blessed in your life together (the two shall become one).
The Love Story:
I was 19 years old when I gave my life to the Lord. Not growing up knowing Jesus I had an appreciation that some who have known him all their lives didn’t have. I first met him at the age of 15 when a college student took me under her wing and shared Jesus with me. She took me to a college campus service one weekend I visited with her. I’ll never forget it, I cried like I’ve never cried before and it was so good and so wrong all at once. What I realize is that in those tears I was convicted of the life I had been living but at the same time I felt a love that was more intimate and emotional than I’ve ever known. I found the love of my life and didn’t know what to do with him. In those tears there was a pain that was deep and a love that was eternal. Have you ever fallen head over heels in love? Have you ever known a man that would for sure love you the rest of your life? Although I’d been dating since I was 12 years old and thought I was in love and nothing could get better than this, the Lord showed me… it gets better daughter, it gets much better if you want it. I cried with such confusion till I didn’t know whether I had been doomed for hell or whether this was hope for me to have a life I’ve never known before. The young lady looked at me as if to say “I know… I know†she looked at me as if she knew what I was feeling was so very good and awesome. Just let him love you she said with her eyes, just let him love you. Well he loved on me that weekend and planted a seed that brought me to the committed relationship we have today. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dot every I and cross every T, but I’m committed and determined to serve him knowing that there’s no condemnation to them that believe. The Lord is so patient its mind boggling. He knew I would go back to the same way of life and he had already decided to wait for me because there was something about me that made him want to wait… he thought I was worth waiting for. I try to understand why he wanted me and what he saw in me but I couldn’t understand it. Why did he love me like that? Why did he suffer so bad to get me? Why did he send his only son to pay for my sins? Why does he keep loving me, in spite of all the deliberate sins I fall into? Why Lord!!!!… Why do you love me this way? I cry out to him again and again with that same cry of love and pain. Then he shared his word with me that began to take me from the stages of infant love to toddler love which became a little selfish toward him but he still loved on me every chance he had available to him. I began to mature in him and I wasn’t ready to grow up, I didn’t want to face reality I just wanted that innocent love for him and him for me. Have you every wished that you could just be that innocent baby in his arms receiving such delicate love and care from him. No cares or worries but the faith that it’s alright because Daddy has me and he’ll let nothing hurt me. Yes, I know… but maturity is good because we then have to share with another 15 year old somewhere out there that there is a love that is far beyond your first boyfriend. Find a teenage that may not know the Lord and watch them as they experience the Love, and that first taste of Christ... look them in the eyes and just say “I know… I know just let him love you†I would give anything to have every 15 year old know that love and have that seed planted that God wants you and will wait for you because he’s the one for you. Even when you lose your way, he’ll be there from now on to help you up and love you every time you open your arms and welcome him in. Every time you cry at night, he’ll be there to help you make it through. Every time your heart breaks, he’ll be there to mend it without leaving a scar. There is one man you will never have to be afraid to open your heart to because he’ll never break it, he’ll never abuse you, he’ll never take you for granted or keep anything that is good from you. He’ll always fill you with all the love of a husband, a wife a mother a father and a best friend in one. There is no love above his, even when we long for that physical love of a mate… it still doesn’t compare to that which God imparts to us. A mate only wish he or she could love you as much but they are limited in the love they can share and express but Gods love is infinite and unmistakable and unique and full of passion.
