10 Years and Lifetime to Go

Today is our 10 year wedding anniversary. It is amazing to me that it has been 10 years that we have been married. In many ways it doesn't seem like we could have been married this long and in others it seems like a lifetime, but in a good way. I look back today on the fact that when I met Chris I was only 18 years old, so young, but I saw something in Chris that not many people did. By looking back over our relationship I know that was only a blessing God gave to me at that time. I didn't even realize it unitl maybe this past year. God was working in our relationship from the moment we met, Chris and I just chose not to see what God was doing for awhile. But as always God is faithful to his children and in His time he reveiled to me exactly what His purpose was for us being together. God knew that Chris and I both had huge hearts to love others and serve others and he brought us together to carry out that purpose in life. The thing I love most is that wherever God wants to use us we will be there. I am so grateful and thankful for God's amazing blessings he has poured out on Chris and I. He has given us both the stregthn and desire to not let the world tear apart a marriage that He brought together. Chris is without a doubt my best friend, the one I can share anything with. He is my encourager and always supports me anything I want to do. I look foward to the many, many years to come that will no doubt have wonderful times and sad times but I know that as long as I have Chris by my side and God at the center of our relationship it will all be okay.

Philippians 2:2-5
Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value other above yourselves. not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another have the same attitude of mind Christ Jesus had.
