Today marks 10 years of us. TEN! Wow, that flew by so crazy fast!
And while we’re in the thick of a two week training in our efforts to embrace a culture outside of our heritage, I’m thankful that we get a chance today to stop and just celebrate the blessing of being together.
It all started with a conversation about God’s work in the world and here we are running hard after His plan in our lives.
Thank you, Matt, for the years of laughing, crying and singing parody songs through life together – now brought to you in a bi-lingual version. Thank you for helping me learn to be a better follower of Jesus, wife and mom. Thank you for your endless patience and the grace you extend without fanfare or even comment. Just like I prayed with you last night before we went to bed, today I’m thanking God for my best friend and the utter privilege of getting to do life together.
It’s had some crazy turns: 4 girls, 10 years of serving at Miamisburg FBC, seminary, 2 foster boys, 1 baby who won the race to Jesus first, and now here we find ourselves fighting for fluency in a foreign land… all of which because Jesus said go… and He gave us this together.
So here’s to the rest of our lifetime of together!
Love you so.
Happy 10 Years, Love!
Happy anniversary to you!! I pray that in the next 10 years you continue to grow and follow the calling of the of the Spirit of God!!
You are such an inspiration to all of us! Happy 10th Anniversary!
YAY!!!!!! If your marriage was a marathon, I feel like I’m the lady standing with a dixie cup of water at the 10 mile mark screaming, “GO GET EM!” 🙂 Love you both. You inspire me and I am praying for your love to go even deeper and even stronger and even bigger than it already is now. ALL THE FEELS! #noYOUREcrying
Hehe. You take the Dixie cup lap seriously and I’ll take your place on your marathon with Nayt. 😉 Love ya, Jes, and your awesome way of being so crazy encouraging.
