7 years ago today, Adam and I began our life journey together. Sometimes I look at that picture, and I want to tell the kids in the car to take off and never come home. They have no idea, do they? I'm sure I'm not the first person to feel that way, nor the last: life often takes us places we never would have imagined-both good and bad.
But mostly when I reflect on that day 7 years ago, I think about all that God has done to prepare us for our journey. He built our marriage strong upon his word, knowing that we would have bigger struggles ahead. One thing we have always been certain of: that God is present in our marriage and he will be with us no matter the trials that come our way.
One of the verses we had for our wedding day was, "The LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes." psalm 118.25. Without question, that is the verse for our lives. We often question "WHY" God has done certain things, but we never question THAT he has done it--and that he has done it for his own glory. What could be more marvelous than being part of God's plan and bringing him glory?
Adam has been such a support and strength through this trial. He accepts Ellie as she is, showing her love and grace everyday. I couldn't have been blessed with a better husband. My prayer is that our family will show God's glory everyday.
You guys are so beautiful then and today. We are incredibly blessed to know you and to be able to be a very teensy part of your lives together. Thank you for allowing us along on the journey with you.
