MARRIED!!!!

Its been a while since a blog post.... Leading up to the wedding, and then afterwards a little time off, but I am glad to speak to you now from the perspective of a married man.

People have started to ask me how I feel, and things of that sort and it has been hard to find the words . . . The best way to describe it is "Complete." Yeah I know the theological stuff of only God being able to complete us and no human being, but that is not what I mean... I am not making my wife an idol.  When I say complete I mean ready to live out and fulfill the mission God has for my life in a new way; with a partner he himself has given me, to love, protect, and guide as well as collaborate with in every way for the glory of his kingdom.  So yeah, I feel complete....

In a way that no degree, or title could give me . . . In a way that no level of success could satisfy - I feel complete.

Marriage is not simply a piece of paper, or a title as many in our modern culture think. I have have experienced truly, and feel the special grace God has bestowed through marriage on us - and Janet and I are so much closer than before because of it.  

Lord I thank you for entrusting to me the soul of my wife to lead her to you for the rest of my life.  Help me to see your presence in her always, and to love her unconditionally throughout it all.  Please bless our family, friends, and community that we may reflect your love to them in a new and special way. Amen.
