Dear Husband, God Made Us For Each Other

God knew me before He formed me, before He created the person I was made to be. He knew I needed someone special in my life. Someone that was the perfect fit and partner for me.

So God gave me you.

He knew I needed someone who didn’t scare off too easily. Someone who was willing to dig a little deeper. Someone who could get past my initial quietness and deep thinking to get to the unique, talkative person I actually am.

God knew I needed someone who was silly. Someone who could make things more fun. Someone that would make me laugh when no one else could. Someone I would shake my head at and give an eye roll to every now and then.

He knew I needed someone who was the complete opposite of me. Someone who was willing to stand out when I just wanted to blend in. Someone who was willing to speak up when I just wanted to stay quiet. Someone who was the perfect complement to me.

So God gave me you.

He knew I needed someone that would push my buttons, drive me nuts, and aggravate me unlike any other. But yet someone I could never stay angry with. Someone I would always be able to forgive.

God knew I needed someone who would stand with me through the highs and the lows. Someone who could weather the storms. It had to be someone who could make it through the trials with Him by our side. Someone I could make it out with and be stronger than before.

He knew I needed someone who would always support me and try to build me up. Someone who was quick to reassure when I would doubt. Someone who would help me step out of my comfort zone and do something great. Someone who would always be there for me.

So God gave me you.

He knew I needed someone who would make me want to become a better wife, mother, and person. Someone who would love me in spite of myself. Someone who didn’t live in a fairytale but whose love was real.

God knew I needed someone who would grow to understand and know the true me. Someone who could peel back the layers. Someone who I would let in.

He knew I needed someone to walk beside me. Not in front of me or behind me. But someone who would be willing to take my hand and lead me.

So God gave me you.

He knew I needed someone who would be the perfect father. Someone who would help me to raise wonderful, kind, and caring children. Someone who our children would look up to and be proud to call their daddy.

God knew I needed someone who knew and loved Him. Someone who was strong in his faith. Someone who would make that a priority for our family. Someone who has been saved by Jesus.

He knew I needed someone I could grow old with. Someone who I’d spend my life making memories with. Someone who I’d always be happy to have by my side. Someone I’d thank Him for every day.

So God gave me you.

God knew the person I needed was the same person who needed me. He made each of us with the other in mind. And I know with certainty God made no mistake when He gave me you.

This Will Not Last Forever

In: Faith, Motherhood

“This will not last forever,” I wrote those words on the unfinished walls above my daughter’s changing table. For some reason, it got very tiring to change her diapers. Nearly three years later, the words are still there though the changing table no longer is under them. While my house is still unfinished so I occasionally see those words, that stage of changing diapers for her has moved on. She did grow up, and I got a break. Now I do it for her baby brother. I have been reminding myself of the seasons of life again. Everything comes and...

God Calls Me Flawless

In: Faith, Living

When I look in the mirror, I don’t always like what I see. I tend to focus on every imperfection, every flaw. As I age, more wrinkles naturally appear. And I’ve never been high maintenance, so the gray hairs are becoming more frequent, too. Growing up a lot of negative words were spoken about me: my body, my weight, my hair, my build. Words I’ve somehow carried my whole life. The people who proclaimed them as my truth don’t even remember what they said, I’m sure. But that’s the power of negative words. Sticks and stones may break our bones,...

Your Husband Needs Friendship Too

As the clock inches closer to 7:00 on a Monday evening, I pull out whatever dessert I had prepared that week and set it out on the kitchen counter. This particular week it’s a trifle, but other weeks it may be brownies, pound cake, or cookies of some kind. My eyes do one last sweep to make sure there isn’t a tripping hazard disguised as a dog toy on the floor and that the leftover dinner is put away. Then, my kids and I make ourselves scarce. Sometimes that involves library runs or gym visits, but it mostly looks like...

This Is Why Moms Ask for Experience Gifts

Mother and young daughter under Christmas lights wearing red sweaters

When a mama asks for experience gifts for her kids for Christmas, please don’t take it as she’s ungrateful or a Scrooge. She appreciates the love her children get, she really does. But she’s tired. She’s tired of the endless number of toys that sit in the bottom of a toy bin and never see the light of day. She’s tired of tripping over the hundreds of LEGOs and reminding her son to pick them up so the baby doesn’t find them and choke. She’s tired of having four Elsa dolls (we have baby Elsa, Barbie Elsa, a mini Elsa,...

When You Just Don’t Feel Like Christmas

In: Faith, Living

It’s hard to admit, but some years I have to force myself to decorate for Christmas. Some years the lights look a little dimmer. The garlands feel a bit heavier. And the circumstances of life just aren’t wrapped in a big red bow like I so wish they were. Then comparison creeps in like a fake Facebook friend and I just feel like hiding under the covers and skipping it all. Because I know there’s no way to measure up to the perfect life “out there.” And it all just feels heavier than it used to. Though I feel alone,...

When Your Kids Ask, “Where Is God?”

In: Faith, Kids

How do I know if the voice I’m hearing is God’s voice? When I was in high school, I found myself asking this question. My dad was a pastor, and I was feeling called to ministry. I didn’t know if I was just hearing my dad’s wish or the call of God. I was worried I was confusing the two. It turns out, I did know. I knew because I was raised to recognize the presence of God all around me. Once I knew what God’s presence felt like, I also knew what God’s voice sounded like. There is a...

I Was There to Walk My Mother to Heaven

In: Faith, Grief, Loss

I prayed to see my momma die. Please don’t click away yet or judge me harshly after five seconds. I prayed to see, to experience, to be in the room, to be a part of every last millisecond of my momma’s final days, final hours, and final moments here on Earth. You see, as a wife of a military man, I have always lived away from my family. I have missed many birthdays, celebrations, dinners, and important things. But my heart couldn’t miss this important moment. I live 12 hours away from the room in the house where my momma...

Addiction Doesn’t Get the Final Say Over My Son

In: Faith, Motherhood

She is so tired. It is a kind of tired that no amount of sleep or rest can alleviate. It is a kind of tired that surpasses physical and even mental fatigue. It is a tiredness of soul—a tiredness that comes from wondering, and grieving, and not knowing how to save her son from the drugs the enemy has bound him up in. She kneels alone on the floor in her bedroom closet. This is where she came when the fear and the uncertainty and the panic started to creep into her heart again. She came here to pray, though...
