I Told God He Wasn’t My Type... Then God Said ‘Marry Him’ Anyway

What happens when God completely wrecks your relationship goals? In this hilarious, faith-filled, and oh-so-humbling episode of Dear Diaries, Roserbie Theoc sits down with her friend Nancy Cole to unpack the story she never thought she’d tell. Nancy was minding her business, serving God, staying in her lane — until a quiet, awkward coworker named Lionel started talking about Jesus... and then prophesied her entire life. Sounds romantic? Not quite. Nancy wasn’t impressed. In fact, she told God this is not my type. But when God has a plan? Oh, He knows how to get your attention. This episode is raw, funny, and deeply relatable for anyone who’s been single, picky, scared, or straight-up confused about how God writes love stories. 🌿 ADDITIONAL VALUE: * Why your “list” might be the very thing blocking your blessing * How to discern if God is really leading you to someone * Real talk about physical attraction vs. God-ordained connection * The danger of idolizing relationships & how to keep God first * How prayer changes your heart before it changes your situation 👉 Need heart work before your love story?

God Told Him I Was His Wife?! | The Raw Story of Love, Prophecy & Unexpected Romance

Nancy shares the rollercoaster story of how she met her husband Lionel—starting with awkward overnight shifts, unexpected Bible studies, and wild prophecies that left her questioning whether he was secretly into witchcraft (spoiler: he wasn’t). What unfolds is a story packed with laughter, spiritual awakening, culture clashes, and honest truths about what it really looks like to fall for someone you’re not initially attracted to—and how God can flip your entire perspective when your heart is open.
