Suppose Jesus Had Thrown In The Towel And Given Up On Us

De'Lois had no plans of getting married when her and her children moved to Tar Heel N.C. in 1988. She left Brentwood MD. because she felt it was no place to raise her children. Life was great. She was living the country life she always desired and talked about. Then one evening in 1992 this man walked into her life. He told her how he felt about her and wanted a chance with her. De'Lois was reluctant because of the age difference, but decided age had nothing to do with love.

They were married February 14, 1993, De'Lois was looking forward to enjoying a life with her new husband. Too bad things didn't happen that way. Before the honeymoon was over, De'Lois discovered Roger had a serious problem with alcohol. Roger began lying, cheating, and staying out all night. Not only did Roger's actions cause heartache and pain, but shook the very foundation of the marriage and their home. Too add more fire to the furnace De'Lois had to quit work due to back problems causing financial difficulties. De'Lois refused to let go because she realized Jesus had plans for her and Roger. Find out how she learned to lean and depend on the Lord more and more through the heartache and pain. After all, it is through sickness and health to death do us part. Right?

Through it all, Roger and De'Lois have been married for fifteen years. They have a total of nine children and four grandchildren.
