Just was thinking of you all today. Wanted to let you know that Musiclovr, Elbert Tyson, and I met on your site June 2004 and were married June 25,2005 in Atlanta. We now live in the Denver area and have a blended family of 7 children ages 9 to 18.

I know you hear this all the time, but your site provided the way for God to connect us over 1500 miles!

Our stories were similar with our previous spouses leaving us, our Adventist lifestyle and God. We daily praise Him for bringing beauty out of ashes and rebuilding what was broken down. Sharing the Adventist culture makes us feel like we've know each other forever. It's as if we had been passing each other for years, until God's perfect time! I thank God I didn't settle for any thing less than my Heartsdesire!! Sometimes I had felt like giving up and dating / marrying a non-Adventist. I had even joined a local dating site in my loneliest moment. But God intervened directly and brought Elbert to me!

We have devotions together every morning and thank God for hearing our prayers. God is so faithful and true!

Our wedding was beautiful with all our children in it.

Thank you,

Mrs. Debbie Tyson
