9 years ago today i was blessed to marry the other half of my heart. what a day that was. i can remember every detail of our wedding day. i also remember the great joy that john and i shared on that day; knowing that we would spend our life together. it feels has though he has never not been apart of me; that we were meant to be.
the last 9 years have been a roller coaster. on our wedding i was the only one that knew for certain that i had ms. i had spoken with the doctors a week before and they had confirmed it. everyone else thought it was just a possibility. it was by far the most joyous and heart-wrenching week of my life. i had no idea how we were going to be able to fight this disease.
john was looking for a job at that time after being layed off soon after 9/11. i still don't really know how he it made through knowing that he couldn't provide an income for us, and that his soon to be wife was sick. what an incredible man GOD has made. he pushed through and fought to come back from these trials.
it would be a lie to say that we haven't had our problems, or that we don't have issues that never seem to get resolved, but the idea though that we could be separated from each other would be terrifying and heartbreaking for us both. we have created a beautiful life together filled with our belief that GOD comes before all things and is the protector of our family.
our love has grown deeper over the years. we have prospered. we have two beautiful boys that make our life so worth achieving every goal and every desire that we have. they are our little miracles. they are our gifts from the LORD.
he is the man i would give my life for; the only man. he is apart of me. i love his patience (he needs a lot of it) and he loves my passion. i love his heart and he loves mine. we are one.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[c] 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband." ephesians 5:22-33
