Today is a VERY special day! Not because of the significance of the numerical date, but because on this day, 20 years ago, I wed the man that God created just for me!!
20 years ago on a sweltering hot 90 plus degree day, in a church with no air conditioning, I wed the man the Lord placed into my dreams. With sweat beading down his face he recited his vows to me while placing a ring upon my finger to symbolize our love for each other. Little did I know then, how adventurous, magnificent and miracously wonderful the next 20 years would be! Sure! Life together has been like a rollercoaster. There have been the good times and the bad. The ups and downs, the trials and tribulations. Without those steep hills to climb our love for each other would not have grown deeper or more meaningful. For the same reasons that trials and tribulations bring us closer to the Lord, I believe the same trials and tribulations have brought us even closer to each other.
God wrote our love story! He wrote the adventures, the tears, the joys, the children, the trials and tribulations and our salvation! It truly is a story that fairy tales are made of. He is my Knight in Shining Armor and I...his princess. The two who were meant to come together in the eyes of the Lord...... and destined to live happily ever after......
