What a beautiful love story!
I love the way he wasn’t afraid to approach her. That’s a lost art.
This was an Amazing interview, PRAISE GOD for you both and Laterras for sharing.
I’m seeing a Book tilted: My Friend Matthew 🌺🧡
GOD BLESS you all
“The way this man loves me should be studied..” WOW! Speechless…
🎤 💥‼️
Every time i think it could get no better. This was amazing. I was crying and smiling during this entire interview. This couple is so beautiful inside and out. OMG!!!!!! I love this. Blessings on this family. Blessings on this union. WOW!
I love how she recognized Matthew was her gift and she said she wasn’t going to allow finances to trump what God had for her. She knew God would walk them through whatever they had to walk through together. It will be the same for me when I marry. God provides where he leads us.
“The way this man loves me should be studied.” Wow, that’s beautiful ❤. This is one of my favorite episodes. God is FAITHFUL!!!
This thing has me crying already!! I haven’t watched in months due to my engagement failing and just being down about it not working but understanding it wasn’t what God has for me. Now I’m back and this actually hits
🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
@jessicawilson7494 – I lift you up in the Name of Jesus. Welcome back. I pray the Lord heals you and connect you to your purpose partner.
This is a beautiful couple that shows the world that God’s plains prevails as we align up with Him❤❤❤❤❤
Familiar with Hinesville and November 12th is a special day. This episode was very soothing. I am glad they found each other again. I loved the explanation about the difference between nice and kindness. So on point. Congrats and looking forward to my gift.
When he spoke about his daughter!! Lord!! I pray he gets to meet her again!! And I like that Latteras gave him insight on what to do! That’s a good man, a good man!!! I pray he finds his child.
LATERRAUS YOU ARE DOING A PHENOMINAL JOB AND I PRAY GOD BLESSED YOU WITH THE WIFE HE HAS SET APART FOR YOU THAT CAN LOVE YOU AND BE YOUR BEST FRIEND.
This is how all relationships should start. FRIENDSHIP is VALUABLE! A lot of people don’t get that. The foundation and love of true friendship will last when you don’t like each other as partners. Awesome testimony. Thank you ❤
I CAN FEEL ERIKA’S EMOTION. HER LOVE RUNS DEEP FOR MATTHEW, REAL DEEP. IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL. I AM SO GLAD YOU TWO FOUND EACH OTHER AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PART IS YOU WERE FRIENDS FIRST. ALWAYS PROTECT THAT FRIENDSHIP EVEN IN DIFFICULT MOMENTS AND YOUR LOVE WILL LAST A LIFETIME.
“The way that he loves me should be studied.” I believe that the way that she loves him should be studied as well. The words that she uses to describe him, it pours from a heart that loves like the heart of God. Their story made my heart beat again. 🌹💜
This is the #1 episode for DFW hands down! What a love story.🌹💜
I’m so glad that through telling this story, he now has a way to find his daughter. I hope this advice helps others in that situation.
I felt her when she said I asked for someone to love my daughter the way that he loves me. I pray that kind of love for my son and I. 😭❤️
It’s on the way!
You will receive that kind of love for both of you. It will be beyond what you could have ever thought it would be. Get ready to receive it.🙏🏽🌹💜
Same Sis. I’m often shocked when women say, I’m not lookong for a father for my kids, they have a dad, I’m just looking for someone to love me.
I pray for a man who will love my daughter as his own too.
My God right there! When a woman’s heart can rest. Priceless.
