My anniversary is tomorrow...28 years!! WOW!! How did that happen? I'm sitting here thinking of these 2 young kids (he was 20 & I was 19..young!!) and we thought we had it all together. We thought we knew everything, knew how it all went & was supposed to be!!! Boy were we wrong. These past 28 years have brought many joys (4 to be exact) some disappointments along the road, & numerous times of me telling Monte that I could no longer be friends with him, I'm pretty sure that happened earlier this week, if I really think about it. But God laid His foundation 28 years ago in this marriage & even though the storms have rocked it & at times put a crack in it, we have held tight to the One who brought us together & to each other. One of the things I've thought about for my kids is that they would know their dad & I loved each other. That the legacy we leave behind would be a legacy of love!! That they would see our faith & know there is no other way. A friend of mine asked me a few years ago, at our 25th I think, "how do you do it?? I've been married 10 & I feel like I'm sinking sometimes." I've felt that way many times, but the only way is through prayer. Lots & lots of it!!" Lol. So this text would just be a huge shout out to God for bringing us together, blessing us enormously, & sustaining us always!!! And thanks Mon for 28 years & here's to 28 more & more & more!!! Phil 1:3&4- I thank my God everytime I remember you. In all my prayers...I always pray w/ joy.
