Our 15th Wedding Anniversary

Today marks the fifteenth year of our marriage.  Monte has given me the best years of my life. Though I enjoyed my single hood, marriage is far better.  We cherish each precious moment that the Lord blesses us to live as one. 

Monte is a wonderful, loving and faithful husband.  As each day unfolds, I see a man who loves deeply, cares tenderly, encourages wisely and seeks the best for my well being. He sacrifices and gives me the best.  He believes and supports me unconditionally. 

We are overwhelmed by God's greatness and faithfulness. Together, we experience the length, breadth, height and depth of His love. Together, we taste His goodness, grace and unending mercies.  The Lord takes us by the hand and shows us that there is nothing He cannot do.  We serve a covenant making and covenant keeping God.  He is in the center of our marriage, and everything is built around Him.  He is the reason why we have come together in the first place.  He leads and guides us to fulfill His purposes and plans. Whatever the Lord desires, we surrender and embrace all He wants to do in and through us. It is not that we are good or talented; but we are merely thankful that He chooses to use broken vessels like us.  We offer our broken pieces, our weaknesses, our vulnerability to the Lord and allow Him to work in whatever manner He chooses.

We are eternally grateful to God's sovereign work in us.  We continue to look to the one who can never fail. To see His hand of love. To receive His favour. To experience the gentle nudge of His love and to taste His goodness.
