Through Thick and Thin

Recently we were coming home from taking our Grandma to see our Grandpa in the hospital. (He's been having strokes). On the way in our apartment we ran into our neighbor outside in front of our garage. She looked at Jamie and was just really excited to see him. I made a comment that he is the best. Then I corrected myself and said, my wife is the best. Jamie is second best. She just said really dryly..."That'll change".

Now you have to understand. She is currently either in the middle of a divorce or she's already divorced. Nevertheless, it drove a stake deep in our hearts. We are experiencing a great time with each other right now. We are getting to know each other all over again and really enjoying it. The time with Jamie hasn't been as terrible as everyone said it was going to be. We're really happy together.

I held Jamie last night and prayed to God that He would take my life as a sacrifice to Him, that I would lead my family in His truth for as long as I should live. That means that for me and my family there can be no separation. I'm not worried about saying these words. I know that the future holds a lot of surprises. But my house and me are going to serve the Lord.

God's Spirit must be our identity, otherwise the beauty of marriage cannot truly be unlocked or grasped.
