9 Years of Marrying my husband!

9 blessed years of MARRYING Ray! Those of you who were at our wedding, do you remember those words? Father Bill said those words so passionately to all of us Marrying couples! When someone asks how long have you been married? It should be how long have you been marrying each other? Married is past tense, sounds as if we are done! That's it! BUT NO...we are marrying each other,....always working at improving our marriage, being a rock when your partner is down, understanding, supporting...I can go on and on. Today, Ray and I took the day off to just enjoy each other! I made breakfast for everyone and then we caught up on some TV shows. For lunch we enjoyed a nice meal at Texas Land and Cattle! It was so good! For dinner we went to the kids favorite DQ, they too are part of this marriage and wanted to treat them!




Oh, how these 9 years have been so good to Ray and I! And I am looking forward to where our journey leads.....How many years have you been marrying and what is the best marriage advice that you have?

God made everybody a somebody.

What a great day to write, in this case type, my first blog! I am one of the leaders at church for 4th grade girls. We discussed Uniqueness today- there are different kinds of gifts. But they are all given by the same spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:4 Much later, as I was singing at adult service I was thinking about my gifts and how I can be more of service to others. This quickly changed as soon as I thought of our kids and what great gifts they are to Ray and I! I truly believe they make Ray and I better people. Since that first day, Kiara came in our home and was surprised by how much food we had in our refrigerator to today by their unconditional love! They make us appreciate the small things. We are a small story in God's big plan:) Thank you God for choosing us!

After service I witnessed a number of amazing baptisms, and reflected on my baptism! Of course I do not remember this as I was a baby but was thinking how my parents were probably feeling. Thank you mom and dad for bringing Jesus Christ in my life from the very beginning. Because of you I have faith today therefore heard God's voice on our calling about adoption.

God made everyone a somebody, we all have a part in his BIG plan! We all carry a uniqueness! I pray to God that I continue in service in his name and we help our children find that gift within themselves.
