Committed for a lifetime... accomplished 4!

Another year has gone by, so out comes another wedding photo. This one means a lot to me as it captures how we envisioned the start of our marriage... done in prayer and with God's blessing.

One thing I am very thankful in our marriage is the prayers of others. We were honored to be blessed by Pastor Ron on our wedding day, and I know that many others have prayed for our marriage since that time.

We choose to honor God in our lives, and try to live that out in our relationship with each other. I think that is the hardest place to try to be in God's will, as it is also a place that contains the potential for most hurt. I love my husband, but since he's my most comfortable person, sometimes he doesn't get the best in me. Marriage is one of the hardest things I've ever done, and I think it is because I can't do it on my own. I need to rely on my husband, and more importantly on God.

I do pray that in this next year we will continue to strive to live out God's will in our marriage, and continuing to bring our relationship before God in prayer. I also hope that others continue to pray for us, as we cannot make it to a lifetime without God's hand in our marriage.

Happy Anniversary honey! Four down, a lifetime yet to come!
