Today is our 137th
monthiversary. I love this story God is writing with our lives. Just over a
month ago, when Ryan and I sat in the Good Friday service at our church, I
remembered that three years earlier, we graduated to triple digit months around
that same time of year. We took the day off work for our 100th
monthiversary and had the best day out, walking around Fort Wayne, going out
for lunch and coffee, and then we ended the day by visiting the Good Friday service
at our friends’ church.
And
we had no idea that the very next Easter, it would be our brand-new home
church. And that two Easters after that, we would be deacons and loving the
opportunity to serve alongside the people who were mere strangers in the pews
that night three years before.
I
love it that our story has allowed us to pray so many prayers together. We have
sought the Lord on so many things. He’s asked us to wait so many times. He’s
said no so many times. He’s said yes so many times.
It
feels fitting that this day, our 137th monthiversary, falls on the
National Day of Prayer. And in fact, we’ll spend part of this day honoring that
and praying together.
On
the good days, I am grateful for a husband who prays for me and celebrates the
goodness. On the hard days, I am grateful for a husband who prays for me and
carries me when I’m weak.
On
the good days, I love to pray for him and celebrate what God is doing in his
life. On the hard days, I love to pray for him and shoulder the burden
alongside him.
I
have no idea what all God has planned for the year to come – or even for the
month to come. But I know I’m glad for prayer. I know I’m glad for a
story-writing God and His attentiveness to our lives.
I
love you, Ryan! Happy monthiversary. Thanks for being the best life partner and
prayer partner!
