But I Want Him, Lord!
Just read an article, “7 Behaviors Women Mistakenly Believe Attract Men (but repel them instead.)”Why can’t women be women, men be men, and let God do the matchmaking?
I think like my husband. He said if he could bottle the love he had for me and sell it, he would make a million dollars the first day! If I could bottle the formula of how our love happened for us, I could make a billion dollars.
One key is a commitment to God and each other to be faithful in marriage and establish a Godly covenant!
We have gotten so self-sufficient and think we don’t need God! With that attitude, you wake up to broken relationships, families, deceptions, and betrayal!
God created us to worship Him, and our sufficiency is in Jesus! To have a happy life depends on our spiritual anchor in our Heavenly Father!
Be the best you can be and the authentic person God created you to be! There is only one unique you! Don’t be someone else!
My answer to my first question is because we don’t want to spend time alone with God and listen to his direction. We pray and ask for His perfect will and then tell Him what we want. Our prayer is like the young lad who prayed for God’s perfect mate but added, “I want her!” ‘Her’ might not be the perfect mate. What we think is our dream might become a nightmare!

Protect what you hear, see and speak!
There's a little song we learn as a child that says, "Oh, be careful little ears what you hear, 0h be careful little eyes what you see and be careful little lips what you speak!"

Memories are Past Experiences!!
When I look back at
memories, I count my blessings for the good and the unpleasant experiences! The
bad ones made me grow in faith, and the good ones gave me hope for
tomorrow!
I am also amazed at how God preserved the little things like pictures, letters, and mementos that gave me joy and now provide wonderful memories to reflect!
These have allowed me access to information and pictures to enhance my love story in my autobiography, AGAINST ALL ODDS, We Found the Perfect Love. When I discovered letters from the fifties to my mother written by my brothers and letters written from Odis to his mom when he was in the Army, I knew they were miracles. I have stumbled onto more information that I would never have known about my past without them!
I am blessed to have these items available to write about my adventure!

Intro to On Loan From God For 24 Hours
Introduction
Copyright ©2019 Suzie Tyler
Everyone wants a telephone line to Heaven. If one were available, we could talk with our loved ones who have left this earth. I wanted 30 more minutes with the love of my life. A few nights ago, I dreamed that Odis was talking to a men’s group comparing the military soldier to that of the warrior as a Christian. I was in another part of the church, helping with the music, and when I finished, I walked down to where I knew he was speaking. He was in a green army uniform with lace-up boots. The meeting was over, and I grabbed hold of his arm and walked up a long concrete ramp holding on to him. The dream seemed very real to me. For a moment, I thought he must not have died, and I only imagined it. As we reached the top of the ramp, I woke up.”
His death was so sudden I always wished I could have had a few more hours with him or had a little warning. After that dream, thoughts ran through my mind of what I would do if I could have 24 hours more with him. As I birthed the story in my heart, I jumped up and ran to the computer and wrote as fast as I could because I did not want to leave out a thing. This short story is a result of that dream.

I am too blessed to be depressed Too anointed to be disappointed
May 19, 1973, began a second chance love journey for Odis Tyler and me. Our earthly chapter as lovers closed unexpectedly on June 9, 2015. It was not a path I ever expected to take and was prepared to go together in the rapture with him. As I continue to follow God and trust Him to fulfill His Plan, I have focused on why God left me to carry on alone.
Writing my story has been therapy, and I see our journey as an example of our love for God and each other. My research has helped me understand how God orchestrated time and events to provide a perfect love as we went against all the crazy odds. The story reunited our former love and created a pathway that brought four children to the table and exposed them to a relationship of loving parents, a teaching of the love of God, and opportunities they wouldn’t have had otherwise. Ten months after we married, a little Suzie was born and was the biggest surprise of all but the most joyful. Each child was educated either formally or with life experiences. As a single working mother, I wasn’t comfortable stepping into the role of a stay-at-home mom to 3 stepsons. My love for Odis gave me the desire to accept that challenge. Odis’ goal was to love and take care of me and provide an abundant life for me as long as he lived. He provided a nice retirement for when he would no longer be here to take care of me.
I love spending time with my daughter, Diane, and granddaughter, Molly. In August, I will welcome my first great-granddaughter, Maddie, as Molly has her first child. (Yay, another pageant girl) I fly to New York for business and to see our daughter Karmyn. I enjoy visiting with my inherited boy’s families in Shreveport and Hot Springs and shopping for shoes. I stay involved in pageants judging and interview coaching. I love playing the piano and keeping up with friends on Facebook.
I recently took a trip back to Conroe, Texas, for the first time in 40 years. I visited our old house on Madeley Street, now a parking lot for the Catholic Church, and my old apartment at Caesar’s Palace. It looked the same except they had filled in the swimming pool. I visited the shopping center where JoAnn had her shop “What’s Happenin,” the old A/G church, and the old Weisinger Buckalew dealership, both on Frasier Street.
Progress continues, and the church now has a big new church on the interstate. W/B is now Buckalew Chevrolet and a state-of-the-art dealership on I-45. Conroe has grown from 12,000 to near 100,000 population. My friend and former co-worker Sandra Collette and I visited with our former boss, Don Buckalew, in his 80s and still working. Later, I saw my former pastor, Alvin Eaton, who just turned 90 and still working. Must be something in the water. Sandra and I don’t give our age.
While visiting with Buckalew, he said, “You girls could come back to work for me.” We looked at each other and then at him and said, “Uh, No. We are retired.”
Time has marched on for Conroe, as it did for Odis and me. In August 2017, Sandra had a stroke and died a few weeks later. She had the opportunity to read my book and was in awe at the love Odis had for me. She told me, “Sue, he really loved you. I’m so glad you found love.” I treasure my visit with her.
From the fantasy world of Elizabeth Taylor to my actual world of life with Odis Tyler, I have lived an incredible fairytale love story that most people only dream about.
Why God allowed me to have the life I lived, I don’t know, but I feel special. He gave me a beautiful love to experience, and I treasure the hundreds of love letters Odis left for me to remember his true, pure love!
