Jesse came from a divorced and broken home. His mother was rescued by Jesus when he was 5yrs old and raised Jesse in a Godly home. Through this marriage, God blessed Jesse with a great 2nd dad.
Still Jesse never knew truly Jesus on his own and around middle school age, he began drifting away. He spiraled into a life of drugs, alcohol, and darkness. He had a knowledge of God but didn't know him. He was going nowhere. In the midst of his struggles, he met a beautiful woman (Sheila), and they got engaged.
This relationship didn't fix him or his heart the way he thought it would.
Sheila also came from a divorced and broken home. As the older sister, living with a single Mom, she carried a lot of responsibilities. God loved Sheila and gave her a grandmother who would pick the grandkids up every Sunday and get them to church. She loved going to church and loved Jesus.
In her older teen years, she was drawn away from her walk with Jesus. Lost and confused she met her future husband (Jesse) at a party when she was 20. Her day to day life of drinking and hanging out with friends lacked purpose and fulfillment.
Late one night, broken and confused, Jesse started watching TV. He heard someone giving the gospel message and responded. Something changed instantly! He was a new creation and he knew he was forgiven! He told Sheila the next day and she gave her life to the Lord. After living together for over a year, they decided to move out, and live in purity until marriage. This was the first of many times they would experience the blessing that comes from responding to God's leading. God was faithful to bring a new fulfillment to their relationship and they never looked back!
