9 Years

This is 9 years

What do I say to the man God placed in my life 9 years ago?  What words that come out of my mouth could do justice? How can I explain the mercy and grace that has been bestowed upon me unfailingly? There is only 1 word. Love.

God changed my perception and knowledge of love when Christ died for me. Sacrifice. Break. Bleed. We have had a first hand look at what it means to sacrifice. What it means to break and bleed. Not that we could ever compare to what Jesus did for human kind, but we can say our marriage has shown us the true nature of God. 

Josh lives sacrificial love. Even when I was not worthy, he endured. Josh always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

Through 9 years we have had crazy. We have screamed, cursed, insulted and broken. We have shared joy and pain. We have clung to each other when there was nothing else earthly to cling too. We have been made stronger by Gods never ending faithfulness. If God is for us, who can be against us? 

This man who I have grown up with these last 9 years is the only person I want to grow old with the next 50 years. I could not imagine doing life without him. He is my rock when I can't see past my own mess. He shows me servant leadership. Most of all he shows me a picture of the love of Christ. 

Praise to God for allowing me the blessing of this man. Happy Anniversary to the best husband and daddy we could ask for. I love you with everything.
