Words From Cheryl Reccord
by: Cheryl Reccord
Over 35 years ago, I met Bob Reccord. I have watched him to be a leader of vision, courage, and charisma, and I have had the rare privilege of walking alongside him to watch as he has placed his relationship with the Lord above all else striving to give himself in total surrender to his Lord-while loving his family with complete abandon.
When we began our relationship at IU, one of my sorority sisters commented about Bob, “There are lots of guys you can date; but Bob is the kind you marry, because you KNOW that you can trust your life to him.”
I found her words to be true. I have watched my husband in the best of times, and in the worst of times. He has not wavered. I’ve been blessed to have a husband who always does the right thing; the unselfish thing; taking that action that benefits and lifts up those around him rather than thinking primarily of himself. He walks with the type of commitment and integrity that continue to fill me both awe and the certain knowledge that our Lord is pleased. He is my spiritual leader, my confidant, my lover, and my best friend..

35 years: wow, this story was so inspirational for me; being a single 30 something never married and knowing that there is someone out there for me is tought to keep believing. Life is so full of working and just making a living - then I read this story and well, it makes me want to move focus to family and building relationships.
