Celebrating 7 years

My amazing husband and I are celebrating seven years today. Wow, what an amazing seven years it has been! I am truly blessed beyond words. God sure knew what He was doing when he brought John into my life.

- I take my husband for granted far too often, he gets the brunt of my grumpiness, he puts up with my argumentativeness and my stubbornness when I am letting my pride get the best of me.

- He listens to me, he hears my rants, my desperation, my feelings of complete and utter frustration and exasperation when I just can't go on. He encourages me.

- He tells me what my gifts are, as I feel like God forgot about me in that area.

- He inspires me, in so many ways, but especially in his desire to speak the truth always and to live for God and God alone no matter what people say or think. I really struggle with that!

- He tells me I am beautiful, even when I am struggling so bad with losing all of the pregnancy weight and feel like a big fat blob.

- He gives me hugs when I need them most.

- He prays with me, and for me and for our kids.



- He prays for our enemies.

- He fights for me, sticks up for me, he honours me and he loves me!

- He parents with me, supports me and helps me out so incredibly much!

- He buys me Rolo ice-cream (which doesn't help with the weight loss, but it's the thought).

- We both desire the same things in life.

- He is such an amazing Dad to our three kids, which really makes me love him that much more.

- I think he is the sexiest man alive and I am not afraid to say that (he will blush at this).




I know that my list could go on....

Happy Seven Years my love. I am so honoured to be spending my 'happy ever after' with you.



**Please keep us, especially John in prayer today. True love means that we will be spending our anniversary apart as he has a big interview with a prospective church tonight over the phone. He has already made the short list. They will be interviewing the four people on the short list today and tomorrow and by the end of this week they will determine who they want to come and candidate. We also have another interview in a week from now--which both of us have to be at. It's in God's hands, we know that and we trust in that. Where ever He wants us, is where we will be.
