Still the One

Guys

I read a lot of writing by guys – pastors, writers, ministry leaders, and leadership gurus. Their unique voices make them interesting.

One thing most of them have in common, however, is referencing sports. They either refer to a recent or upcoming sporting event, or they use them as illustrations. They share their own sports experiences and often talk about how their wives cope with their sports hobby. No matter the topic, they manage to work sports into it. While those references don’t mean anything to me, I understand it’s a “guy” thing that’s important to them. I have accepted that sports is a huge part of guy thinking.

My Guy

That said … I am so happy, happy beyond words, really happy, over-the-moon kind of happy, that my husband doesn’t care about sports. We even live in a football crazed state where he grew up, and he does not care. Our Saturdays are free. We don’t buy tickets, drive hours, or fly places to watch games. He doesn’t read about it, talk about it, look forward to it, and plan for it. We live sports free, and I love it! 

He was a late-in-life surprise baby, if you know what I mean. His mother had lots of time for him. She taught him how to do laundry, some basic cooking, to wait patiently, to be attentive, and to shop. He was a renaissance man before it was trendy. He’s smart (scary smart) and well spoken. The clincher? The thing that gave him the final edge over the other guys? He’s tall. I’m 5’8” and love my stilettos. I told God I really wanted a guy who was at least 6’3” and I got one 6’5”!!! I don’t have any heels that make me taller than 6’5”.

My guy is the perfect guy for me. That’s why he’s still my valentine after so many years.

What makes your significant other unique and perfect for you?

My special guy has stood by me for 50 years.  He is still the love of my life. He makes me laugh and has such a positive attitude.  I feel so very blessed.

Each week, as I sat under her teaching of God’s Word, I felt the penetrating power of God’s Spirit work deeply in my heart as Lyn shared the truth with clarity and conviction.

A confident and very articulate public speaker, Lyn is much attuned to her audience, their needs, and the various phases they may be in life.

From Lyn’s message, I learned that instead of dwelling on past sin, I can make it victorious in my life. I can conquer these things in my life. I feel empowered today!

She is a keen observer of life and analyzes daily living from the perspective of what God has to say. Real, captivating, and full of “a-ha!” moments, I can honestly say I live my life differently because of Lyn’s presentation of experiencing Jesus Christ as a very real being in life.

Lyn touched our hearts in so many ways during her visit to the Table Rock Freedom Center. Each girl walked away with a new perspective on dealing with the pain of their addictions. She was authentic and full of grace. We can’t wait to have her back.

Lyn possesses and has exhibited vital leadership qualities. She is appropriately confident in the gifts God has given to her and is willing to use them in whatever manner the Lord directs. I believe that you have a woman who can become one of your favorite speakers to work with!
