2008*** 7 Years, The Year Of Our Sabbath

Posted in In The Family Room

Today we celebrated our 7th year anniversary. After spending the day together, dinner with my parents, and back home again with the dogs, we spent time in each others arms reflecting the years we've spent together. It honestly feels like we married just a year ago.  I love him MORE now than I did that day.  My husband represents everything God had intended for husbands to be.  He is trustworthy, unconditionally loving, supportive, doesn't know the words "Give Up" in his vocabulary and NEVER afraid to pull out His Bible, take my hands and pray with me.  I've learned a house that Prays together, Stays together.  It is built on a solid foundation through Jesus Christ and I finally know the meaning of the tree that is Truely Fruitful.

During our loving conversation, my husband reflected on our first years.  That of dumbfounded love, getting to know each others pet peeves, moving past the selfishness of singledum, and understanding each others strengths and weaknesses.  After the first two years, we spent time working on individual issues pertaining to finances, spending habits, what makes us enablers to each other and finally and most importantly...during the times of struggle, finding God and His ultimate promises. Being able to lay down fears, overcome temptations and obsticles we create and how to live for God instead of trying to be people pleasers to those who will never fully be satisfied.  In the end, Doug said after all our trials and triumphs, after all the tools and teachings God has helped us with, it is NOW, our 7th year, that is the season of Sabbath for us.  Many of you know the Sabbath day is a day of rest.  On of renewal and resting in God and His plans.  After several years of ups n downs of new marriage, financial blunders and joyful triumphs in the Lords presence, we are in a place that we can fully spend time understanding what our needs are in this marriage without worry, regret, and drama.  This 7th year is a year of Resting our marriage in the Lord and strengthening our marriage in the covenant we made with God that 9th day in February of 2001.

Here's to a lifetime of blessings, joy, and triumphs from struggles with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  I love you sweet Darling!
