An Open Letter to my Hubby on Our Anniversary

My Handsome Trice,

6 years. Can you believe it? Looking back 6 years ago, I don’t think I ever imagined we would be where we are now at 6 years. We have an amazing son who is almost 4, our little Bean. And we have an oh so precious daughter who is almost 2, our party in a body! We have a cute little house in the heart of DFW. And we still like each other!

Thank you for all you have taught me these last 6 years.

Thank you for always making my toothbrush for me

Last August, Trice and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary, and I started a little journey of blogging about different things God taught us in our first five years of marriage. I love how I set a goal that I would write 5 nuggets in one month..... Yet here I am, almost a year later, finally sitting down to write the 5th nugget. Hey- at least I am finishing what I set out to do, right? :)

Hello again and Happy Thursday!

I hope that if you had a chance to read yesterday's post, that you were encouraged to love the lost better.

My prayer for the last half of 2015 is that God would awaken our hearts to love the lost, share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and see more and more people give their lives to Him.

How Have I Loved Today? (Part 1)

Hello sweet friends! We are back in Texas after a fun time in Louisiana visiting family and working in New Orleans. My fingers have been yeeeearning for the keyboard, and I finally have a little sliver of time to myself this afternoon to share what has been on my heart! 

 

Since the last time I wrote, there have been MANY things that have happened in the political sphere that have been tough for Christians, particularly gay marriage being legalized nationwide.

My number one question since that ruling has been, "Lord, how do I respond?" Do I speak out? Do I write a post about Biblical marriage? Should I state my case and defend my beliefs? Should I write about homosexuality or gender identity? Do I just not write anything at all?

As I have mulled over this in my mind, asking God if there is anything He wants me to say, I have heard again and again God asking me this one simple question:

How have you loved today?
