Teri,
This a wonderful and heartwarming story of love and romance with God as the guide. He is our divine matchmaker for he created us and knows who it is we are to become one with. Your story brought tears to my eyes as I read it because it reminded me of how I met my wife, which happened similar fashion but under different circumstances.
As you are one of my favorite reviewers, I think it only fair that I begin reviewing your writings as well. I must say though that it is difficult sometimes to keep up with answering all of the writers here on FanStory who review my work. Any tips you may offer on doing so will be greatly appreciated. I am down to 45 left out of over 80.
I am currently working on a short story that will reveal our Christian romance story for entry in the next contest.
God Bless,
Eugene

Thank you my friend. There is no set way to review to be honest. I just ask for help from above when I write and review. Thanks, Teri

I had read this before today and I think it is an awesome piece of witnessing through writing. It is excellent and truly shows the love Christ as He wanted us to have. Keep them coming please.

Comment from Gert sherwood
Hello Teri what a nice Christina romance story to read. How interesting there are two Johns in your life
I noticed this part of you story that I have a question
about--
John, I think that would be a great idea.
((We are neither one children.))
is this what you meant to say?

Comment from AnnaLinda
Teri,
Your romance story was written very well and kept me interested the entire
time I was reading it. I like how you begin this with introducing your character
and set a nice visual scene. When you wrote the following line, I was not clear on
the fact that "left" meant that he died:
"He had *left her only due to injuries sustained in battle"
Perhaps stating that he was deceased would help clarify that, especially since his name is the same name as her new flame...John:) You could just write something like, 'he was no longer in her life, because he died in battle.' or had died...
I think your story is a really good match for the contest: Christian Romance
Story. I like the fact that they had somewhat known each other prior to them agreeing to date formally...and that John knew her character and faith. I hope she has good enough knowledge about him too...
I know some of those pharmacists are addicts...lol
Below are just a few minor typos and a few suggestions:
This sentence has an extra word (on) - You could also replace "things" to 'items.'
"Hopping in her car she headed to the grocery store for some nonperishable *things to make do *(on) for now"
Here you have "begin" instead of began
Mary's heart *{begin} to flutter as she heard his words."
I suggest a comma in the following line where indicated:
"Here she was in front of his eyes(,) even more beautiful than ever.
I suggest a different arrangement for your thoughts below.
"We are neither one children."
Suggestion:
'Neither one of us are children'
Your last line should have a comma as indicated below:
"With that conversation behind them(,) it started a whole new outlook on life for both of them."
Well, I really did enjoy this and I like its purity and nice energy and your writing
style. I hope you don't mind me offering those suggestions. We want this to win after all. :)

This is a very uplifting story, one that has a happy ending after the girl had so much unhappiness.
It flowed well and was easy to read, keeping my attention.
There are several places where a comma is needed, such as "Reaching down," and "Getting dressed,:

Comment from Ric Myworld
I'm a real sucker for happy endings, especially those in nice stories. Although, the ugly truth is, we never really know anyone, and few are ever the person we see out every day. I'm sad to say. But it's always nice to wish and hope for that one in a million. Thanks for another enjoyable read. :-)
