As our anniversary approaches...

Mine and Brad's first wedding anniversary is this Sunday, and as I've been doing my devotions this week I have just had this prayer on my heart, and I wanted to share it with all of you.

Gracious God...Thank you so much for an amazing year. You have given me the greatest gift you could ever give anyone. You have blessed me with my soul mate, best friend, and husband. You took everything you knew that I would need and you created those things in Brad. God, I don't deserve this kind of grace, but yet you give it freely. Lord thank you. Thank you that Brad will just sit and listen, thank you that he's attentive to me, thank you that he uses the gifts you've given him, thank you that he is EVERYTHING that I need. Most importantly God, thank you that he loves you more than he loves me, and that he's teaching me everyday through the way that he loves me, how to fall deeper in love with you. Continue to protect us individual, and to protect our marriage. Help us to remain in your will, and show us what your plans are for us, God shows us how you would have us serve you.
