Theresa Cappadona & Steve Myers

Steve's Story:

Even as a kid, I remember being depressed. When I was 12, I started doing drugs and drinking. I didn't stop until I was 45 years old. At that time, I went to the addiction center and AA. I became clean, but I was still depressed and suicidal. I couldn't even hold my head up.

Then I turned my life over to God. I raised my head and started living. I felt like a newborn baby. Until then I knew nothing about love, joy, or happiness. About six months later I went to Praise Assembly, and I never looked back.

One night I asked God if He willed for me to have a companion. For the next two weeks, it seemed that everywhere I went, Theresa was there.

Theresa's Story:

I knew God as a child, but as a teenager and young adult I put Him on the back burner. In 1997 I had a spiritual awakening and was filled with the Spirit, but it grew with weeds and was strangled. In 2004 I felt God calling to my heart, so I started seeking Him from church to church. I finally found Praise Assembly in June 2007. When I walked in, I knew I was home.

I still had so much to learn. I started reading the Word and obeying it. My heart was changing--I no longer wanted to do things that didn't please my Lord. I started spending more and more time at church.

If it were God's will, I was ready to live the rest of my life like Paul--single and for the Lord. Then God revealed in a dream that I would have a God-loving man in my life. God even showed me the man's face. I saw that man at church. We were in Sunday school together. He was quiet and shy, and so I never said anything.

Then in October of 2008, that man approached me and asked if I wanted to hang out together and get to know each other better. I said yes.

Steve and I will be obedient unto the Lord and wait, and perhaps one day, if it is the Lord's will, we will marry.

I love my Lord and praise Him with all my heart and soul, and give thanks every day for my salvation.
