Children are not a burden to escape or endure; they are a blessing that drives us to Christ because we are incapable of parenting well without Him. - Kim Brenneman

9 years ago i went for a walk with a boy.

It was a cold Alberta night.

He gave me a rose and asked me to be his.

The stars shined brighter that night, and twinkled with known mystery of the years to come.

and now i love the man even more then i loved the boy.

It was a beautiful start to a love story that only God could design.

With each year he captures my heart and draws me in with his tender love.

he challenges me to be the woman he knows is inside me

he holds me up when i am broken

he inspires me towards greater things



This month holds many many dear memories for me as this has always been a month of new beginnings for me.
What about you?
I encourage you to go back to the days of late night walks, long conversations, and lingering hand holds... back to the magic of the beginning of your love story...

Sigh.

Tears pooling in my eyes.

It's very poignant and very sweet and very beautiful.

Thank you for allowing him to challenge you. I pray that you will have the strength to rise to that challenge.

Praise God that I can call you my dear friend.
