Love that is STRONG!

What a night! Duane got home at 4am (this made a 20 hour work day for him) :( I woke up to him coming home, as he had to take Chase from our bed to his bed (well Chase actually woke up too and decide to walk to his room). I could not fall back to sleep, like most women my mind was running all over the place. However, I very clearly realized something. For all of you who know Duane and me, you know our story. I have to apologize because I have lied.  I have told you that I would never change a thing because I love him more today than the day I said I do (although that is true, it is also not correct).  This  August will make 13 years together; and the truth is I would not change our story because it his brought me closer to my heavenly father and that in return has brought me closer to my husband! See 13 years ago, I could have cared less if I was walking with God; I was in control of my life! Although I had been brought up in a Christian home, I had trouble believing. If you know me, you know MY story or at least the short version.  In addition, to me God and church was another way for my mom to control me. So, once I got married church became a option not a must. Anyhow, before this gets anymore long winded. I felt the need to say last night I realized I love my heavenly father today more than the day Duane and I made a commitment to each other and to him, in front of our friends and family. That is why I would not change Duane's and my story. Our love is stronger now than ever because my love for my father is stronger now than ever!  

 

PS. If you want to know my story our Duane and mines feel free to ask. The reason I feel I can share these stories now, well, is because they bring so much glory to God and show how amazing he truly is!
