Terry tells how she "was in the habit of praying very specifically for what she wanted. She told God in great detail about the kind of job, the kind of husband, the kind of life that she envisioned for herself.
And Terry was frequently frustrated.
But one day, Terry's friend suggested that she try a
different tack. 'Give God a blank sheet of paper,' the friend suggested, 'and
let God give you His list for your life.'
"Not long afterwards, Terry went back to
school—something she hadn't anticipated doing. And she met a wonderful new man,
whom she eventually married.
He didn't fit the criteria of her earlier lists, but he was
everything she wanted in a husband.
When Terry turned her life over to God's will, God provided
for her needs in ways she couldn't have imagined."
