 I know the story does not end with the prince sweeping the princess onto his horse and riding off into the sunset. No. That is when the story begins. This weekend, Annah and Noel took that first step forward in the adventure of marriage. How perfectly beautiful and blessed that they get to go on life's journey together. And, as I hold my own other-half's hand, I hope for them not only the sweet moments, but the bitter ones too. I hope for the challenges that will make them grow stronger together. I pray for the laughter that allows them to remember the friendship that holds their love. I hope their fights end with kisses and that they never form battle lines that separate their hearts. And, even if they do, for these things happen, may God fix their eyes on love. I could never be the woman I am today without my husband. Without him I would have never emerged from my shy, insecure shell. I wouldn't have saw the world with only a duffel bag to my name. I wouldn't have been mother to Adela, Micaela, and our angel Isabela. I am so different from the girl he took on a first date but have been made more his wife, his friend, his love as each passing year melds our souls together. What sounds so scary as giving yourself, your life, to another person was divinely designed to bring fullness to your future that could not have been realized alone. Today, I raise my heart and my hands as I pray for Annah and Noel and for the greatness that God has prepared in their journey. Congratulations, my dear friends.
