?Stop picking up guys on the beach, and stop
worrying! Your husband will come knocking on
your door,? says Mom. I thought to myself, ?Sure
Mom, he?ll ride upon a white horse and carry me
away, too!
It was December 1957, and I?d been invited to go
to Miami Beach for New Year?s party with some
new guys that my friend and I had met on the
beach. Of course, my parents said NO and I was
heartbroken about the NO! Mom was right in a
way; meeting guys on the beach wasn?t getting me
anywhere.
You see, I didn?t have much confidence in myself
since I looked different than the other girls. I was
born with a cleft lip and palate and had to go
through many painful plastic surgeries. But,
somehow, and despite everything I had gone
through, I had a tiny bit of faith like the proverbial
?grain of a mustard seed.? I read somewhere that
?even with that little faith, nothing is impossible.?
After that, every night I wrote a prayer to my
angels, ?Dear Angels, I have a lot of love to give
and if you can please send me a man to love, I?ll
promise to be the best wife possible!?
It was then that I decided to place the deed of
bringing me ?My Man to Love? squarely upon the
Angels shoulders and decided to personally take a
hiatus from looking for a husband ?in all the wrong
places.? Instead, I drove to one of my most favorite
places, the Public Library. After browsing a few
romance novels, I suddenly found myself staring at
The Power of Positive Thinking by Dr. Norman
Vincent Peale. It was THE one book I felt calling my
name. I pulled it off the shelf and opened it
randomly to this: ?I believe I am always divinely
guided. I believe I will always take the right turn of
the road. I believe God will always make a way
where there is no way.? I became so intrigued that I
checked the book out from the Library and decided
to test it out immediately!
The first question I wanted to know was if it was
true that prayer
works. So,
following the
suggestions in
the book, I
began to write
affirmations in
my diary every
day as well as
continued to
write a prayer
