Our Anniversary

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. ~ Galatians 5:22-23

It is only by looking in the same direction as the cross, that Rob and I even have a chance at marriage!  It is by looking at that cross that the Lord fills our hearts with the fruit of the Spirit.  When we take our gaze off of Him, we look to ourselves or to each other and that is when we start to crumble! 
I will never pretend that marriage isn't a journey with its fair share of bumps and sometimes boulders, but I am thankful for Rob, who faithfully fixes his eyes on a cross and our Savior.

Today we have been married eighteen years! 

Marriage tip: Typically, it takes between 9-14 years for a married couple to switch from 'me' to 'we.'  Too often we give up before the shift takes place.  ~Mark Driscoll

Blessings to all of you!
