12 years ago today I said “I do”.
To be honest, I wasn’t quite sure what marriage (healthy marriage) that is would look like for me. I knew that I loved this guy, more than I had ever allowed myself to love anyone. I knew that we wanted the same things from life and that he was a great father to my baby and the little one we had on the way. But, a part of me wasn’t getting my hopes up. I had seen plenty of disappointment and plenty of betrayal in my eighteen years so a part of me was wondering why I was setting myself up for a world of hurt down the road.
Praise the Lord, he knew what was best for me, even before I did!
To paraphrase Psalm 113, He raised me from the ash heap and seated me with my prince and settled me in our home as the happy mother of children.
Mike and I have been through many things in our marriage. The happiest of times and the most difficult of times. God has given me a man who can handle the storms of life and hold the umbrella over me at the same time.
I love you, my sweet hubby, and thank God for you EVERY day. Here’s to the next 12 and the 12 after that…
Love you more,
Lissa
