Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him? Romans 11:35 Before Evan & I were married, we went through premarital counseling with a pastor.

In a few days, my husband and I will be celebrating our third marriage anniversary. It doesn’t seem possible, and our wedding day feels like a century ago. We were only babies then; we didn’t know how great our God could truly be to us. My concept of love is limited, truthfully. I’ll never forgetContinue reading “Anniversary”
