The STORY behind our SMILE:

Over 13 years ago, my husband and I were separated. He was in Germany and I in Florida, with no chance of reconciliation! One day he heard the voice of God tell him to go get his family! He was resistant, but said this to God, "If you want my family back together, when I go to church, I want the man of God to tell me to go get my family!" So Nate goes to church, went up for prayer and a minister started praying for him. All of a sudden, Bishop J Alan Neal came up to him and told him to, "Go get your family!"
(What more confirmation did he need, lol)
So he called me, told me to pack up everything because he wanted his family back. I resisted, but gave it a try! We had very little money! We MAC'd back to Germany (military free flights) Had to sleep in the terminal, hungry. Finally made it to Germany. Our hotel stay was going to run out on Monday because we were running out of money. Went to church Sunday. When we entered the church, the church went wild! Bishop Neal called us up to the front of the church and shouted, "This man went and got his family!" People were shouting, crying, running...I was balling!
Then Bishop Neal did something so unexpected. He called all the men of families to stand up and write a check to my family! I really started crying then because no one knew we were running out of money and no place to live. No one knew! Women (single mothers; soldiers) started writing checks and putting money at our feet too. It was beautiful. Then a young man came up to us and offered his home to us for as long as we needed it.
25 years of blood, sweat and tears, but God restored our marriage and our faith exploded! We know God can do anything because He did it for us! Happy Anniversary is an understatement! Happy Resurrection Anniversary Day should be the title! God is good! Trust Him!
