Look at us up there, babies! Not too long after committing to a lifetime together before God and our loved ones. I don't take anniversaries lightly because we've known the depth of our decision every day of our marriage together these past five years. They have been good. They have been hard. They have been overwhelmingly painful and fun. Full of forgiveness, grace, hope, patience and love. But also tears, uncertainty, anger and shame.
And we did it babe.
Hand in hand, celebrating these five years in love. And that is no small feat.
Today my prayer for us is this: that our hearts may grow bigger and more in tune with each other, ourselves and the Lord; and that we may be doers of the Word and shine the light of Jesus onto each other and those around us.You said these past five years together have flown by, and even though it does seem that way, when I think about how much has happened externally and internally in our life it feels like we have come so far in this period of time; I am so proud of our journey together. I have so many emotions about this significant milestone we've accomplished, and one thing I can proudly say is that you were present every day of these five years. You gave your best to me, the best you could give each day, with authenticity and a pure heart and I am so thankful for that. Your love makes me strive to be a better woman, lover and friend and my desire is for us to continue to fight for openness, connection, honesty, satisfaction and deep love in our marriage.
In our victories and defeats - I love you.
In our days of laughter and of grief - I love you.
In our exciting ventures and mundane chores - I love you.
In our oneness and through growing pains - I love you.
My heart choose you five years ago today, and I'm so glad that it did.
I love you G.
My husband, my friend and companion. My partner for life. Happy five years to us!
