Chris and I just celebrated our 1st anniversary. Being married has been the greatest blessing. When I reflect back on my life pre-marriage, I see how God has worked in each of our lives and how He has grown us spiritually. I was reflecting on how Chris and I were brought together and the feeling I got when I knew Chris was "the one." I had been praying for a husband and I learned that it should be in God's timing...not mine. I specifically asked God to show me His will for my life, no matter what it entailed. By praying for a future husband and for God's plan for my life, He taught me patience and that I had to fully trust in Him. As soon as I took my trust out of myself and began trusting in Him...life began to make sense. His plan for me soon began to unfold and it became clear to me that Chris was who God wanted me to marry (for those who do not know, Chris and I dated a year before and I did not like him, I only wanted him to be my friend...little did I know that would change :) ). It was like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders and replaced with the grace of God. My vision of what I "thought" my life should be was very blurry, but God's was as clear as glass. The Man upstairs knew that Chris was to be my husband- a man with a kind, patient, and gentle spirit- it was exactly what I needed. I soon learned...IT'S NOT ABOUT ME..IT'S ABOUT GOD!
I rejoice and celebrate for the blessings from the past, for those blessings have made me who I am today. I look forward to what else God has in store for Chris and me.
On another note, Chris and I celebrated our anniversary in St. Louis. It was a super getaway for us! It was much needed. Here is a picture from the arch....
