like a fire

Today marks my twelfth anniversary to Cathy. For some reason it feels more significant than past years. Maybe it is where we are in life now, or maybe it is the challenges we have had this year, or the way we have been stepping up our relationship. For what ever reason it truly is, I am thankful that God has brought us together and given us grace enough to weather the storms that our relationship create.

What does twelve years teach you?

Marriage is more about God than about two people

I am constantly amazed at how little I do apart from the person who sustains my life - even my marriage. Cathy and I have had some rough times as well as some great times. All of them are a vision of the one day we will be with God. All of them are only possible because of God. Through every amazing moment in life and every horrible moment, God is there to help me and my wife.

Most people probably understand this sooner than I do. I guess it takes some people twelve years.
