7 Wonderful years


8 years ago God brought and amazing man into my life and on this day, 7 years ago - I became his wife.

My lover is mine and I am his;
he browses among the lilies.
Song of Solomon 2:16

It was cold and rainy - not like this beautiful day we are enjoying today. We were younger and probably had a lot more energy than we do now. I was a whole lot skinnier! My heart was at peace. I was filled with joy. It was a lot easier to sit down and write a blog (as I did not have a five year old interupting!!!)

So much has changed. And it has gotten SO MUCH better. That day was perfect in every way that it could be. But I knew that it was just a beginning. I did not want it to be the best day of our lives. I wanted it to be a great start to the rest of our life together.

God blessed me with an incredible man. A man who seeks after God, every day. He is not perfect. He makes mistakes. But he continually seeks after God and he loves me and he loves our children. I love Keith more today than I did that day seven years ago. I enjoy spending time with him even more now than I did back then. In fact I actually treasure it so much more now because it is so much harder to come by seeing as our family has grown so quickly!

He is my best friend. He is my soul mate. I thank God every day for blessing me with a Godly man to lead our family and to love each of us just as God made us!!!!
