5 years ago today I married the man God intended for me from the beginning of time.  The man who I prayed for from the time I was a little girl.  The man who was and is my perfect match in every way.  As I think about that girl who woke up on her wedding day 5 years ago, filled with thoughts of wedding vows, and a white dress, and that pair of crystal blue eyes that sparkled every time I walked into the room…I can’t believe I am the same person.  As I slid that ring on his finger that day and pledged before God to be a faithful bride to my new husband, I knew I was in love with him.  But I had no idea how much that love would grow and change and deepen.  We have packed a lot into 5 years.  We have been through deep valleys and have been on mountaintops.  God has grown us and changed us in ways I might not have chosen…but it’s all part of His perfect plan for us.  I am beyond grateful that God has allowed me to experience a glimpse of His love for me through the love of my husband.  My husband’s love is beautiful and breathtaking to me…but it pales in comparison to God’s love.  It is just amazing to me that God, in His infinite wisdom, desired that I should have this relationship.  That He planned it and formed it.  The husband and wife relationship just can’t be explained except that it’s a “God thing”.  It’s a glimpse of heaven here on earth.  Not that it’s perfect at all, but it’s such a beautiful picture.

Thank you God for the amazing gift of my husband.  May you continue to change me into the wife that You desire me to be.  I am forever grateful for our 5 wonderful years together and all that You have taught me through them.  May You continue to be the center of our relationship.

Happy 5 year Anniversary to my one and only!
