Testimony Time

Well, friends, it's testimony time!  Yesterday was our anniversary...12 years to be exact.  And, oh, what a ride it has been!

We have seen some good times and bad times. We've been through a living hell and have come out to now be living in the peace of God.  We were thrown into a fiery furnace with no residual effects...we don't even smell like smoke.  And, through it all we have seen God's hand in our life.

12 years...3 miscarriages...5 children (6 very soon!)...3 cross-country moves...5 affairs...1 standing spouse...1 prodigal spouse....and 1 eternally faithful God!!

He walked the road that we walked.  He pushed us and strengthened us when we didn't want to go on.  He carried us when we would have fallen.  He crushed us and broke our wills so that He could be glorified in the restoration and healing of us as individuals and as a couple.  It is to Him that all glory and honor is due.  It is for Him that we now live our lives.  Anything that we are and everything that we are able to do is by His grace alone!

This is our testimony.  We are where we are today by the saving grace of Christ.  We will be who we are tomorrow because of His faithfulness and new mercies.  No longer are we two individuals striving to make a marriage work.  We are now one body, joined together and united with Christ, flowing in the beautiful dance of a marriage that only the Father could choreograph.

And this can be your testimony, too.

Standing stronger than ever....
