A lot of you know the story with Josh and I. We had to spend 1 FULL year apart after high school. I went to a year-long internship where one of the main rules was NO romantic relationships. I am not sure how many high schoolers have the drive to do that... when they are "in love".
Of course there are no words to express how thankful I am for God who surpasses my wildest dreams & imaginations. He is faithful to the end and never gives up on me. What a true gift. I am so thankful that WE can have a relationship with a God that LOVES us unconditonally. Who's with me?
Another thankful fact in my life is the blessing of being able to call my BEST friend... Husband. That is something to be THANKFUL for. Joshua is my support system, my encourager, my help-mate. I am so blessed by his leadership in our home. He helps me know when to say "no" and pushes me towards being a better woman. I am SO thankful for you, Joshua Mark! <3
The other amazing blessing that I am SO beyond thankful for is our families. There truly is no way to compare them to anything. They have been amazing examples to Josh & I. We look to them for advice, counsel, wisdom & thrive on their love. God has been good to us and shown us truth through our families what a Godly relationship looks like. Grandparents, Parents, Siblings, Aunts & Uncles... we have learned through each of them in some way. SO THANKFUL FOR OUR FAMILIES! We love you fam!!
Our house! I am so thankful for a warm place to live, spend our time & have friends/family over! God really did bless us with a place that is perfect for two. We own this house and it sometimes seems crazy to know that. Only God!! Thankful for a place to be together. Creating it into a HOME has been a HUGE joy of being a wife. :)
I could go on and ON about all the many things I am thankful for... stay tuned... MORE THIS WEEK!
