Used and Empty
Leslie grew up dreaming about romance. Like most young women, she gave pieces of her heart away in high school relationships. By the time she was nineteen, she felt used and empty.
Then Leslie encountered Jesus in a new way. She surrendered her love life completely to Him - not just asking Him to bless her relationships, but inviting Him to write her love story from scratch.
"God," she prayed, "I'm giving my love life to You. I trust You to write a better story than I ever could."
Write My Love Story
What followed was radical. Leslie committed to not pursuing romantic relationships but trusting God to bring the right person in His timing. It wasn't passive - it was an active surrender.
Meanwhile, a young man named Eric Ludy was making the same commitment. He too had surrendered his love life to Jesus, choosing to guard his heart and wait on God's best.
When they met, there was no game-playing. No manipulation. Their friendship was built on Christ. And when God made it clear they were meant to be together, they didn't need to wonder if it was real.
A Love Story Without Regret
Eric and Leslie married and have since spoken to millions of young people about letting Jesus write their love stories. Their message is simple: "God's ways produce what our ways never could - a love story that doesn't leave regret, but leaves a legacy."
Jesus didn't just find Leslie a husband. He healed her heart, restored her purity through His blood, and gave her a love story that has encouraged millions to trust Him with their hearts.
